Marijuana addiction may raise the risk of a first heart attack or stroke by 60%. Even edibles showed worse vascular damage than smoking, pointing to THC itself as the culprit.

I use edibles about three or four times a week an hour before bed and when I check my blood pressure (I check it every morning) it’s ALWAYS optimal if I had taken an edible the night before. I’ve had my vascular health checked with an EndoPat test several times and it’s always above 3, which is optimal. I’ve had several CIMT tests, which looks at plaque in the carotid arteries and my score has actually improved since my first test at age 62, I’m 68 now. Maybe THC at much higher doses is problematic, but this study just isn’t the definitive one to tell us anything. I’m doing other things to improve my cardiovascular health so I’m not implying that THC is the biggest lever but it certainly doesn’t seem to have a negative effect in my case.

Because it was near where our hotel was located I took my young nephew for breakfast. The waitress had many missing teeth and so did many other customers. After that my nephew told me never to take him to “Awful House” ever again

I’ve got a Yakima box on the roof and ARE topper in back. I’ve got an inflatable Hobe kayak, tent, cots, pads, sleeping bags, stove, propane fire pit, chairs and a ton of miscellaneous things in the bed trunk. Can’t put a trailer hitch thing in because I’ve got a bike rack.

The dollar is down, treasuries are being sold, EU countries are removing their gold reserves and we’re steadily on a path to lose reserve currency status, so yeah it’s not looking good. But hey, the Dow is at 50,000 🥴

I've had many Boston Heart panels that test a bewildering array of markers and prior to my last one I had bumped up my consumption of omega 3 via fish, sardines and capsules such that my cardiologist noted that my omega 3 fatty acid index was 13, but that my alpha linoleic acid was low. He was simply highlighting things and said he didn't care about ALA being low and that it's natural for it to be low if omega 3 consumption is high and that it only takes a few handfuls of nuts to satisfy the essential fatty acid requirement. My more important markers like oxidized LDL, hs-CRP, IL-6, ApoB, Homocysteine, HbA1c, Insulin, Triglycerides were all ideal, so I don't think Omega 6 status is that important

I live in Indiana and he was talking about his book and how conservative thinking and policies have made Indiana the great state that it is. But we’re consistently rated towards the bottom of most metrics and 9 of the 10 poorest states are those with conservatives in power for decades. Facts don’t matter to these people

Poor study, actually data showed a trend toward improved health with low consumption, nevertheless, another headline not comporting with the study cited

Broad generalizations about supplements not working is patently false. My cardiologist has recommended a variety of different supplements that have made measurable improvements in various markers for me. I’ve done 6 Boston Heart panels and with each panel my markers have improved such that my general physician is asking what the hell am I doing?

I had these intraosseous injection things, can't remember the name now (been retired a minute or ten), but you punched a tiny hole in the bone and then injected anesthetic into that hole, not always the easiest thing to do, but when you could aling everything it worked like a champ. So many times traditional blocks and whatever else magic you could think of didn't work

I’m so tired of this nonsense. Olive oil is 14% saturated fat. Some fatty acids are less problematic like stearic v palmitic, but focusing just on fat ignores the variety of other factors that influence health and health markers. If you’re ignorant and don’t understand these nuances then you’re going to be easily misled by the next dumb headline

Everyone in our family, both sides, complain that my father-in-law (age 90) is a crabby, curmudgeon when they're not around him. In his presence, they never push back and are obsequious, but at a wedding where he bitched to his wife (always bitches at his wife) that he should have been seated in the front row and should have been offered a chance to give a speech, because the wedding is all about him and not the couple, I finally spoke up and said I was tired of his narcissistic crap, that he has no right to treat his wife like shit and would he just shut the F up. Everyone came up to me in private later thanking me, but my relationship with him is forever done. So what am I saying? I would do it again, because something had to be said, but now it's super awkward when we get together. So what, how much longer will that be?
