Medical marijuana has NO public health risks and should not be withheld from patients, WHO declares after months of deliberation by SteakandChampipple in worldnews

In conclusion, the authors wrote: 'Recent evidence from animal and human studies shows that its use could have some therapeutic value for seizures due to epilepsy and related conditions.'

They added that 'current information does not justify scheduling of cannabidiol', and declared that taking medical marijuana will not lead to addiction to THC, the psychoactive property of cannabis that induces a 'high'.

Declaring medical marijuana non-addictive seems like kind of a big deal.

A lot of these aren't even bumper stickers but just phrases they've made with individual lettered stickers.

TIL The amazing James Randi exposed a fraudulent "Faith Healer" named Peter Popoff who was using a ear mic to fool believers into divine healing. by xMurderMike41370x in todayilearned

James Randi and his illusionist associate Steve Shaw recorded Popoff's wife Elizabeth over radio scanners describing a woman to Popoff as "that big n----r in the back", and warning him, "Keep your hands off those tits ... I'm watching you." At another session, Elizabeth and her aides were heard laughing uncontrollably at the physical appearance of a man suffering from advanced testicular cancer.

These terrible people now sell "Miracle Spring Water" on late-night infomercials and Popoff still refers to himself as a prophet. Something tells me that is not a legitimate product.

TIL about the Oakland Buddha, placed by a resident on a street corner to prevent illegal dumping, the statue has now become a shrine for the local Vietnamese population who leave offerings and have even built a shelter for the Buddah. Crime in the area dropped 82% by Highfaluter in todayilearned

“If I’d have thought Christ would’ve pulled it off—” Steven began jokingly, then interrupted himself. “Except Christ is so controversial with people. Buddha is a neutral dude. When Ace Hardware is carrying Buddha, it’s pretty neutral.”

Stevenson and his wife, Lu, say they are not religious at all, but believe in the power of positive and negative energy, and so decided to try a small Buddha.

This is a fantastic example of positive energy being contagious and spreading among others.

Salma Hayek divulges years of terrifying abuse by Harvey Weinstein by MikeyP63 in news

The range of his persuasion tactics went from sweet-talking me to that one time when, in an attack of fury, he said the terrifying words, “I will kill you, don’t think I can’t.”

When he was finally convinced that I was not going to earn the movie the way he had expected, he told me he had offered my role and my script with my years of research to another actress.

In his eyes, I was not an artist. I wasn’t even a person. I was a thing: not a nobody, but a body.

I really hope they set a good precedent and Weinstein gets the punishment he deserves from a court of law.
