    THC toxicity

    I used edibles for sleep after my husband died. It worked like magic for several years but gradually I built up such a tolerance that it did not help much and I felt it was contributing to, rather than helping with anxiety. Since I discovered Trazadone for sleep, I don't use edibles any longer...

    Broader Discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Carried Over From Another Thread

    I've got to butt in - you made so many false assertions. Hamas is not an oppressed political faction. That is because Netanyahu supported and elevated Hamas so that his government could weaken Palestinian unity...

    [W:165] Where are you? all those who care for the Palestinians???

    You DO realize that Netanyahu supported and strengthened Hamas, Right? You don't have to listen to American liberals, listen to what Israelis report. Meanwhile, no one here has said that they mourn the demise of the individuals who perpetrated the massacre of Israeli citizens. They question is...

    [W:165] Where are you? all those who care for the Palestinians???

    Well, it certainly would be an about face for Israel to support a secular Palestinian leadership. Of course the reason that BiBi has been supporting Hamas for years is that he and his religious extremist supporters wished to avoid any kind of talks w PLO that might lead to a Palestinian state.

    [W:165] Where are you? all those who care for the Palestinians???

    You should ask yourself- Why did Netanyahu empower Hamas these many years if the organization was such a threat? How do you kill bad ideas? My guess is that among the children who survive the Israeli onslaught, many will comprise the next generation of killers -whatever name they want to...

    My 4th Medical Marijuana card just arrived from Harrisburg

    What medical condition are you trying to treat? I am in Oregon. where its been legal for awhile. My husband had some medical marijuana when he had cancer. I accidentally discovered that it worked, like a miracle, for my insomnia. Unfortunately, I have developed a tolerance so I use it sparingly...

    Biden’s Role in Hamas Attack on Israel

    Nice. You just dodged addressing the many failures of Netanyahu- where the responsibility lies quite squarely.

    Biden’s Role in Hamas Attack on Israel

    It is well known that Iran provides funding to Hamas and Hezbollah, but Hamas has funding from a variety of sources: the Jerusalem Post https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-769721 The Gaza Strip is one of the poorest places in the world, but the Hamas regime in Gaza is quite rich. Since...

    Biden’s Role in Hamas Attack on Israel

    Oh please. Even the Hamas leadership living in other countries had no clue about the plan Hamas operatives within Gaza carried out against Israel. Isreali intelligence would have picked up any communication. Did it require funding you believe came from Iran? Doubtful. By rights, Iran would be...

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    All these things are a result of history. You should study more about this topic. The right wing in Israel has been empowering Hamas for years- ask former Israeli P.M. Olmert if you don't believe me! The ultra conservatives in Israel didn't want peace! They have made sure that the P.L.O...

    pro or contra Israel?

    Well, how is that going to occur when Israel has gobbled up so much of the land, water and resources of the West Bank? Anton Chekhov once noted that the worst thing that can happen to human beings is to experience humiliation. I think this is particularly true in the Muslim world...

    pro or contra Israel?

    Since you are speaking of Islam as a monolith, which 'nations' are you referring to? Its instructive to recall that many of these "nations" were created by the British and French. Israelis love to argue that there is no such thing as a "Palestinian". In that case there is no such thing as an...

    pro or contra Israel?

    Personally, I think all religious dogma is a menace. Have you spent any time in the Ultra orthodox Jewish community? Speaking of democracy-did the U.S. support democratically elected (non -fundamentalist) leaders in places like Iran? Wouldn't you agree that the Abrahamic religions are...

    When you think of a possible second Trump victory - how do you feel?

    What is interesting to me about Dark Wizard's responses to you is that he claims to be Jewish. Okay. But Israel loosened its abortion laws after Roe v Wade. Jews have never regarded abortion as murder as far as I know. Trump's alliance with Netanyahu is the affection between two would- be...

    When you think of a possible second Trump victory - how do you feel?

    How does this reinforce your ridiculous position that migrants are "merely economic migrants'???? You seem to have made my point. I agree that there is no answer- so why demonize them and blame Biden for a drug and immigration problem that originates with the U.S. demand for drugs and the U.S...
