Lute is from Spain? Any Segovia in there?

Trying to get a group together, there has been a major price drop recently. Travis

You’re living Groundhog Day Man! You, me, Tarheel, Wardsweb, many others had a blast with reel to reel without ever meeting, unbelievable. I reaaly hope to meet you and Tarheel one day Travis

This is one of, if not THE, best original topic/post's I have read all year. Thanks for that. Travis

Here in an article from Time (which I thought was quite good) about medical marijuana. Here’s What Science Says About Medical Marijuana http://time.com/3931863/medical-marijuana-benefits/ It discusses that the the condition that has the strongest link to the effectiveness of medical marijuana is chronic pain. For other conditions the verdict is still out.

Very nice looking indeed, MC and balanced as options. Hmmmm

Any good alternatives you can suggest? I grew up on white bread and in recent years my wife has been packing my lunches with different types of 'whole grain' breads in an attempt to be more health conscious but from some of the things I've read here and there I don't know what's good and what's not. I'm still very uninformed on this but that needs to change. I would start here, an easy to read article that cuts through all of the BS, looks at mainstream diets from a scientific perspective, but in layman's terms. Edit: Here is the link to the article. http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/03/science-compared-every-diet-and-the-winner-is-real-food/284595/ It is very clear fruits and vegetables are an essential foundation for a healthy diet. As said before here, processed foods shoud be avoided. We have been trying to follow Mediterranean diet with a lot of success which is mentioned in the study. Here are a couple of excerpts from the article. "Among the salient points of proven health benefits the researchers note, nutritionally-replete plant-based diets are supported by a wide array of favorable health outcomes, including fewer cancers and less heart disease. These diets ideally included not just fruits and vegetables, but whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Katz and Meller found "no decisive evidence" that low-fat diets are better than diets high in healthful fats, like the Mediterranean. Those fats include a lower ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids than the typical American diet. "They also found carbohydrate-selective diets to be better than categorically low-carbohydrate diets, in that incorporating whole grains is associated with lower risks for cancers and better control of body weight. Attention to glycemic load and index is "sensible at the least." Eating foods that have high glycemic loads (which Katz says is much more relevant to health outcomes than glycemic index—in that some quality foods like carrots have very high indices, which could be misleading) is associated with greater risk of heart disease."

Thank you for that.

When I worked in emergency at Downtown Toronto hospital the nurses got me to take polaroids (yes showing the age there) of teenagers after giving them activated charcoal and syrup of ipecac. They looked pathetic. We gave the pictures to the parents when they came and picked up their little angels.Typing this from treatment center I am in charge of this weekend. 34 beds and it's a revolving door here. Reading the comments here and it really seems the US drug policy is archaic. All the best to your brother twelveblocks!! I heard in Canada you can get Tylenol 1s and 222's over the counter at any pharmacy. Is that true or an urban myth?

It is one of my many weaknesses. I have watched a documentry or two on the subject on Netlix that were very informative. I will try to locate the names of them and post them here. Travis Travis

He will be in my thoughts

That is a topic that will get this thread locked quicker than two shakes of a lambs tail. I'm against the the upscheduling. But I think it is important for people to know the facts behind how things change in government, whether it is at an agency or a legislative body. HCPs was a great topic, it is a public health ISSUE. Which by definition means it has, at least, two sides. I think it is important for people to understand how the process really works, whether it is getting a drug upscheduled, or anything else. It is good to be skeptical about anything that happens in government. Some things are changed in smoke filled back rooms with elected officials and lobbyists. This wasn't one of those. There were people lined up on two sides of that issue, representing their own interests, including patient advocacy groups. It is important that people understand the process, and that they have a say. It apparently started with one physician submitting a petition back in 1999. Regardless of what side of the issue we are in, it is important to know the facts behind how it happened and what the arguments were on both sides. It is only in that way that one can have any chance at changing the outcome the next go around. Medical Marijuana is another good public health, drug policy issue that is coming from the exact opposite angle. Getting a drug down scheduled, or eliminated, from scheduling, state by state. Travis

They mention in some repirts that they "cited" her. Whatever type of lawyer, if she is only charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana they would only cite here her. In Colorado they wouldn't even arrest her.The big question I have is: Is she going to bond him out again?

You can still carrry firearms on a general aviation (not for hire) aircraft. I have flown with my guns in my plane to go hunting in several states, and Canada. It is more complicated to go into Canada, and the tricky part is going into an airport with commercial operations and TSA. But generally, if you are legal to possess a firearm, and it is a legal firearm, and it is secured, you are protected under the federal "Safe Passage Act." I have no idea on what the law with regard to drones is, but I suspect it is not protected. The airspace above your property is in fact yours until you hit controlled airspace. In some areas near busy airports it can begin at the surface, most rural areas begin at either 700' above ground level (AGL) which is Clasd E, or 1,200' AGL, Class G. The FAA and FCC can limit the height of radio towers on your property, require you to light it a certain way, etc. Depending on what airspace you are in you can be limited in your ability to launch a model rocket. The United States directly, controls all the the airspace between 18,000 MSL and 60,000 MSL, this is what would orevent you from launching a satellite into space from yiur property. Above 60,000 gets into space law which involves space law, multiple agencies, etc. and I am not very familar with all that entails as my plane has a ceiling of about half that so I have never needed to worry abiut that. Texas does in fact have a laser light law in the Penal Code. I suspect this came about because if some kids goofing off with them near DFW. Of course local zoning laws would have height restrictions on actual structures. So yes you do own the space above your property, but like everything else, subject to local, state, and federal control.

Great to see you back, I missed your posts.

mow that was cool

She was arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana? They arrest for possession of marijuana in NC? In Texas she would have received a citation to appear in court. http://abc11.com/news/nc-$188m-jackpot-winner-cited-for-drug-possession-/878114/

That was all clearly a front set up by the DEA, NSA and the CIA. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2013/10/28/business/fda-shift-on-painkillers-was-years-in-the-making.html?referrer=

Apparently, this guy started it all. A Physican from Syracuse, New York who first petitioned the FDA to upschedule HCPs back in 1999. A pain specialist who also specialized in addiction. He was probably was on loan from the CIA to the NSA at the time.
