Pretty much everyone I know who uses cannabis vaporizes these days, so no burning involved. That said these sketchy vape cartridges are pretty scary at times and I'd love to see that regulated and tested like tobacco products are. Rega

If that's what you think my response says then you didn't read it at all. I literally said that I would tell people "we just don't know, and so it should be avoided". Not "we don't know". I said &quot

I think the real problem- and something I'm hoping more research can help with- is that marijuana is a medicine for a lot of people. It prevents seizures, reduces or stops migraines, and (this one is really important considering the co

Private firms and businesses are run by people. What you're essentially saying is that people should not care about how their actions harm society as long as it makes them a profit. "If society didn't want me to kill all of t

Nature, and evolution, don't follow motive based logic. Random mutations that are temporarily beneficial but are detrimental to the long term do happen. To put it another way, a cell mutates based off of random chance. It doesn't

You have no idea how ironic this comment is considering the history of Cloudflare. I remember going to a talk by their CEO at Defcon years ago when Scientology was being DDoSed and he was bragging about providing CDN services to the Anonymo

Analytics is a special case because the metrics they got from it can be fed into their advertising system to better deliver ads. They may have run it "at a loss" but they did it for data that they certainly made a profit off of.
