The number of pedestrian deaths is on the rise in Oregon, according to a new study by the Governors Highway Safety Association. Some evidence pins the blame on legal cannabis.

Too much weed.
http://www.thesmokersclub.com/news/oregon-million-pounds-weed-surplus/

According to Oregon breeder and dispensary owner Archive Seedbank believes there are a million too many pounds of weed. Since the state consumes 400,000 pounds of weed annually and has close to 1.4 million pounds of weed, there’s TOO MUCH WEED.

Yes, there’s a thing as too much weed, and that fact makes the price of weed plummet. Oregon isn’t a huge market and is a very free market–but this could be an ominous sign for the future of legal weed if canopy space isn’t more regulated.

Trees love to grow here.

 

Supply and Demand .... Oregon gets a lesson ... maybe.

No legal pot sales here, let the druggies head to Portland for their dope.

Overall, 1,843 voters favored prolonging the pot ban, while 1,754 voted to stop it.

That means residents shouldn’t expect a flood of skunky pot shops in the city north of Gresham and west of Wood Village.

 

My grandma learned at 60.

My former stopped learning (trying bah) and never did afterwards. She was 28 yo.

 

My former...

Your former what? Grandma?

Posey reportedly said the marijuana belonged to her.

“I don't know anything about any cocaine,” the station quoted her as saying in a police report. “It must have flown through the window and into my purse.”

Northrop Grumman built and operated the components that failed during the controversial January launch of the U.S. spy satellite known as Zuma, according to a Wall Street Journal report Sunday.

Two independent investigations, made up of federal and industry officials, pointed to Northrop's payload adapter as the cause of the satellite's loss, the report said, citing people familiar with the probes. The payload adapter is a key part of deploying a satellite in orbit, connecting the satellite to the upper stage of a rocket.

 

GRUMMAN has a history of building total crap.

Assuming he was on the road to the hotel, Pavel took a snow-covered street that led him to a ski run. Between 2 and 3 a.m., La Stampareported, he managed to trudge his way up the mountainside until he found a local bar called Igloo, located about 1,491 miles above sea level.

She was undergoing the operation at a hospital in Ulyanovsk, Russia, on March 15 when medical personnel reportedly made a tragic mistake. They accidentally administered a formalin drip, which contains formaldehyde, the Washington Times reported.

The lethal chemical is commonly used to prevent corpses from decomposing. Doctors were supposed to fill her IV bag with a saline solution instead.

 

http://www.kptv.com/story/37918477/woman-embalmed-alive-after-tragic-hospital-mix-up

I was curious as to what formalin would even be doing in an operating room. In finding that answer, I also discovered (shock and surprise!!) that the story as reported isn't even close to accurate.

The formalin was probably there to preserve the cysts that were removed from her. A nurse mistakenly used put formalin, instead of sterilized saline, on the gauze she used to wash the surgical site. It was NOT introduced intravenously, she was not embalmed alive, and it was not embalming fluid that was used.

But formalin is highly toxic and can be absorbed quickly through the skin. The gal was conscious after the surgery and it was four days after the surgery that their inability to treat the damage prompted them to transfer her to another hospital. Some time later she was transferred yet again. She died three weeks after the surgery.

It's like the movies that are "Based on a true story," or "Inspired by actual events." More often than not, it means something like there really was a person with that name that fought in that war. Everything else is pure fiction made up to sell the story.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Take the highway past the Dutch village of Jelsum and the road will play you a tune.

Created by strategically laid "rumble strips" as a way of livening up journeys across the flat landscape, the novelty has worn thin for locals who say the constant droning melody is driving them mad.
