Assuming they'll come up with "cures" at this point is a bit naive don't you think? Cant bill a cured patient...

Here's a thought. cannabis has been made illiegal worldwide mostly in only the last 100 years. prior to that, it naturally grew everywehre and all the animals ate it. the Cannabinols have beneficial effects on our health, and 100years ago, we use to get a natural influx of cannabinols in our diet because the animals ate it, and now we don't. I'm not saying the revolutions in manufacturing and tech and chemistry aren't without their repercussions, but there use to be even more benefit from eating meat than there are today, so while this article is kinda throwing shade on the idea and written in a way to be clickbaity, the idea of feeding livestock cannabis is more "natural" and historically accurate than what we're feeding them now... just a thought.

I'm Assistant to the Chief Smackboi. Trust me, it's critical and the company would collapse like a home over a Florida sinkhole without me or the one I assist... in all seriousness, I do everything for a start-up manufacturer that primarily is a printer of niche promotional products.

Hey, I've been having trouble with my anti-virus (kaspersky) blocking content or whole websites sometimes (like the thumbnail image gets blocked but not the whole site), and it had a conflict with reddit yesterday, but it's working today... dunno why kaspersky is getting in the way with anything in my browser in the first place... seems to me they're whitelisting CDNs or blacklisting more "radical" providers... i dunno, it's a new behavior for me and their browser extension is disabled, so it's doing this from a network monitor perspective i guess... I was having trouble accessing any of the reddit-clones the last week or so and exiting the antivirus "fixed" it... but just fyi... that's my anecdote.
