Dying Woman Loses Appeal on Marijuana as Medication
So this 41-year-old lady is dying from an inoperable brain tumor and an assortment of other serious ailments and some California judges won't let her use the marijuana her doctor's recommended for her. Totally lame. First of all, check out the picture of the lady crying on the phone- maybe it's cuz she looks kinda like my mom- but that totally just breaks my heart. And, seriously, if she's dying and in some serious pain and smoking a little mary j is gonna help her out, what is the big deal?? The lady is wearing pearls in her picture- she doesn't exactly strike me as someone who just wants to get high for the fun of it. Also, in California, really? My advice, Ms. Raich, move to Vermont. Seriously.
F.D.A. Warns of Sleeping Pills' Strange Effects
These 'strange effects' include eating and driving while asleep. Ummm....what? Okay, eating while you're asleep- probably not the best thing for you, but driving while you're asleep? I'm thinking that might fall under the heading: worst idea ever.
The following quote would be seriously f'in funny if it wasn't actually happening:
Sleep-drivers reported frightening episodes in which they recalled going to bed, but woke up to find they had been arrested roadside in their underwear or nightclothes.
In other news: The Bush administration, which six months ago issued a series of political goals for the Iraqi government to meet by this month, is now tacitly acknowledging that the goals will take significantly longer to achieve.
The Bush administration underestimated how long something would take in Iraq? But they're usually so good at judging these types of things.
So there you have it, the more you know. Don't you just feel smarter already?
