Shock, horror, disaster! Call the riot boys, summon the G8! Get your placards out! Cannabis causes brain damage!
Well, sort of. Ish. We think. But it's been days since the last teen stabbing and it's a slow news morning, so let's have a moral panic anyway. Cue headlines splashed with the latest drug trials that prove next to nothing about the effects of marijuana on the human brain, as if that were the point.
Let's take an example: alcohol is our nation's biggest drug problem. Now, in tests that have been carried out so far, medium-to-low-level use of cannabis - a few joints a week for a few years, say - has been shown to display no correlation with changes in brain composition and chemistry. Likewise, there has been little evidence to show that a few units of alcohol a week does any permanent damage to one's system.
But the most recent studies on THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, examine people who've been smoking five or more joints per day for upwards of ten years. That, my dears, is one significant fucking habit. It's the equivalent of major, long-term alcoholism. And both addictions, taken to extreme, cause brain damage along with a host of other symptoms. If you're at an equivalent stage of advanced alcoholism, your memory will be dodgy, your sleep patterns shot to hell and your stress levels all over the place, not to mention the fact that you've probably fried your liver and kidneys. Likewise, if you've been smoking five joints a day for ten years all by yourself, you may well have a slightly shrunken amygdala, but your biggest and most immediate problem is probably going to be lung damage.
So let's compare this to another damaging behavior: self-harm. If you carried out equivalent studies on groups of self harmers with a control group, one would probably find that the self-harmers as a whole displayed significantly higher levels of depression and medium- to high-level manic and schizophrenic symptoms than the non-self-harming teenagers. Does this mean that self-harm causes brain damage? Of course not.
Alcohol, self-harm, hard drug use, smoking, unsafe sex, smoking cannabis. All of these activities have been shown to be more prevalent amongst the depressed and emotionally disordered, and particularly amongst the depressed and emotionally disordered young. But they are aggravating symptoms, not the cause of the problem. It's only logical that chemical escapism, offered by these drugs and addictions in their extremes, is a resort likely to be most tempting to those who have most to escape from.
Which is not to say that it's a good idea to spend all of your time stoned. It's a very BAD idea to spend all of your time stoned, especially if you care at all about your lung capacity. But it's no worse for you than, say, mild alcoholism, and there's no reason for it to be criminalised when alcohol isn't. The effect of the continued criminalisation - and, now, of reclassification despite leading doctors' advice - of cannabis is simply to make users more financially and emotionally dependent on illegal drug-dealers, and less likely to seek help when , like young alcoholics, they recognise that their problems have superseded their control.
The trouble with the THC debate is that it tends to be polarised between subjective extremes. On the one hand, there are the hard-liners like Gordon Brown who just hate hippies, stoners and all their ilk; then there are parents understandably blinkered by fear for their children, and conservatives eager to jump on the latest bandwagon condemning the coping mechanisms of any social underclass. (Janine has a brilliant piece today commenting on the continued legality of alcohol at the Henley Regatta).
On the other hand, there are the producers of High Times and their mates, the great semi-washed, stoning masses who may or may not be otherwise useful members of society. Addicts frantic to defend their habit. Endless arguments over late-night spliffs that usually begin with a lazy generalised attack on NewLabour and end when someone starts quoting Bill Hicks. This isn't the whole story either.
The simple fact is that this country has a problem with drugs and drink: period. For Joe average dope fiend and Jill average booze hound, low-level use doesn't often present that much of a problem, particularly if you don't have a Facebook account. But there are heavy users, serious addicts, people who peddle away their lives to the drug, and they do have problems - problems that don't need in-depth psychiatric studies to demonstrate their urgency.
As a nation, we've fostered for several generations a serious weed habit that's growing to form a plausible second option to the nation's favourite hobby: boozing. We're a nation of alcoholics; we've been a nation of alcoholics for centuries. Alcohol is the drug of imperialism. It makes you rowdy, aggressive, navel-gazing, horny and insidious, strips you of humility and moderation, gives you a self-inflated sense of your own importance, psyches you up for a fuck and a fight. Alcohol is something the British have long internalised as a part of their cultural identity. Weed isn't. No stoner that we know of ever colonised Africa; violent stoners laying out gender hierarchies by beating their wives and children is another cultural norm that's yet to be identified. Weed saps away every hypercapitalist drive to improve oneself, to fight and conquer, to produce and to consume on ever more dizzying scales. Joint-in-hand, one is quite happy to spend another evening on the sofa chatting to your mates about the semiotics of 1980s cartoons. Not so the bottle. A drunken British public is something the system has come to accept, despite periodic media panics over the moral health of the nation, usually timed to coincede with periods of relative conservatism and economic slowdown.
We need to have an open and objective national conversation about weed. Marjunana is neither a panacaea nor about to tip us into an immediate cross-generational psychotic break, but it is a national health problem, a problem that needs to be understood and addressed. Increasing criminalisation, victimising the young and the mentally distressed and frantic media scaremongering add nothing useful to the TCH debate. Honest and balanced reportage in non-judgemental conversation with users, healthcare professionals and families alike might just take us one step closer to understanding the real scale of harm that this drug causes. So let's begin it.
Bravo.
You've managed to sum up my opinion on both alcohol and marijuana quite nicely.
Basically, our society developed alongside the booze and beer, weed showed up later and is the new kid on the block, people aren't sure what to make of her yet. Is she a thief and murderer? Or does it just look that way if you don't know her?
Either way, if I ever have a daughter, I'm seriously thinking about naming her marijuana...
Great article, I have never read this kind of article, I hope we get this kind of article from you in feature.

First of all, sorry for my mistakes in English. In this life I am from Italy...
Since when I was a child I always knew that extraterrestrial life was possible. I felt it inside of me as a natural thing. My mama's blood group was O Rh- She died when she was 32 years old. I was just 8. It means that she was not totally from Earth, like Rh+ are!
She was visited by ET beings when she was in the hospital of Milano, because of a bad cancer which lead her to death. Three handsome and kind guys from heaven came into the hospital room without passing through the door nor through the window.
They looked at her and spoke together among themselves in a strange language, then they disappeared in a shot.
My mum told it to my granny and after her death my grandma told it to me, during a speech about UFOs in a documentary.
From that moment I began to try to contact, first my mom from heaven then I tried to call those three Humanoid guys who visited my mom last.
I was with my grand parents during school summer holidays in Piacenza at our holiday house, when I had my first contact.
It was night and I was outside in the garden with my grandpa when I saw a big yellowish glowing light in the sky, right over our garden.
I was very happy and excited so I told my grandpa to look up and say, "Hello!".
He was frightened to death and he directed me to run inside and close the door. I wasn't afraid at all and I tried to tell UFO telepathically to not be scared about me and my grandpa, because I am not scared about them!
Then my grandpa, as I didn't obey him quickly... he caught me by an arm and he forced me to go in.
I lately told UFO, telepathically, that I had to obey, but I wanted to see them back again as soon as possible.
My Grandparents sent me to bed to go to sleep, but I didn't sleep for real, because I felt into my heart that the UFO might come back during the night for me. I waited for them in a fake sleep!
After about one hour, I saw a big glowing light right out of my window. My joy reached the top because I finally was alone with my UFO!
Telepathically they told me to not exit to the balcony, because it was not needed for me to be abducted with all my physical body, because I was already able to move with astral body; but I had just to relax myself and wait.
I was able to make a Zen relaxing breath, to astral travel halfway to my mom in the sky. I made it without any fear. I felt like I was outcoming from my body to reach the garden outside where I found a little Glowing light blue guy waiting for me...
We played together like children... And he taught me to improve my telepathy level and other ESP by just trusting more into myself. Then before leaving, he told me that we would be together again in the future and all life long.
After some years our contacts began again... while I was doing my homework one evening, a gentle voice inside of me told me to shut my eyes and to write down something under dictation. I wrote it down and at the end I had a plenty of coordinates x and y, to be represented into a Cartesian plane. When I opened my eyes and I wrote the numbers, I noticed that I obtained the shape of a UFO!
Then I was informed about a personal coordinate number that enables me to come back to Earth from anywhere in space.
I have been taught to drive it by using cerebral waves and LEVEL 1 telepathic commands - To turn left and right, to land, to take off and to activate other special commands.
I've never been left alone and our friendship has arisen year after year.
Lately, exactly from 2011, I began to attend an astral school on a Mother Ship of The Galactic Federation of Planets. I attended day by day a multilevel school. At night I felt moved to go to school by relaxing my mind and soul and astral traveling to them.
IT OCCURRED THAT SOMETIMES I HAD TO WAKE UP AT 2 or 3am TO WRITE DOWN TECHNICAL DATA ABOUT TELETRANSPORTATION MECHANISMS AND ANTI GRAVITATIONAL LESSONS!
Time is not the same as on Earth... There is no time to school like here... Each time is worthy to have a course. They don't mind if here it is day or night, but also if you stay awake all night to attend a lesson in the sky, the morning after YOU ARE OK! During our terrestrial day, as I am at work, I have been taught to raise up my vibratory level into an awake mode and to be here and there at the same quantum mechanics has had a huge impact on our view of reality, see what we mean with these 25 ways that quantum mechanics changed our view of the universe.
Note: You'll have to go right through to interesting Fact 1 and 2 for direct relevance to this testimony.
Alexa continues ~
I attended Universal Theology, three levels of telepathy, quantum physics and quantum mechanics, the art of self-defense both body to body, with the laser sword, with a steel bar and with a peculiar illusions technique including Materialization-Dematerialization, mirror reflex techniques, enemy projection surrounding (you duplicate your image all around the enemy) and you shoot him from... At this point I don't reveal it, because it's a secret of fighting warriors. Then I learned basic of UFO defense out in the space, just to be able to defend myself if it occurs.
I also learned vibrational healing, and to increase my body energies thanks to faith in God and His energy of love; so actually I don't need a doctor anymore . Those healing techniques I can use them for my family too and to my pets! No need for a pediatrician nor a veterinarian...
I'm always in touch with a lot of benevolent races, because in a Big Mother Ship we are all together without any distinction of race. NO RACISM NO PREJUDICES...
Image supplied
I never felt like I was an abductee: I am just one of them.
In fact, one day after a long time of good relations among us, I had to learn more about myself, such as that I am a Star Seed from Sirius! They gave me a big History Lesson about all races, planets with life in, starting from the origins of the Vega Star in the Lyra Constellation and all about the galactic wars and colonizations... Up to today, and about Ancient ET Civilizations who established on the Earth since a very long time...
My... our story is still developing... But I can't tell you anymore, because I could compromise my Mission here and I can't reveal more...
Just to let you know that finally I became a COMMANDER TOO, A LIGHT WARRIOR, NEXT TO A VERY IMPORTANT COMMANDER WHO, IN 2012 GAVE ME HIS ALLIANCE WHITE BELT and..........
Sorry! Privacy now is required...!
Thanks for sharing a little part of my double life: Here on Earth and up in the sky...
Should you want to know more, pay attention to the signs of the times...
Post Scriptum: Look at the UFOs schedule of sightseeing and compare the L3 MER KA BAH UFO with the two supplied photos... [below]
It's mine and my friend's Merkabah space ship "the little personal MerKaBah ufo", not the Mother Ship!
Enjoy reading...

No link only topics.
Plus this thing is not for visible light range even :-)
ok... so, this article reads:
"... the new device is completely scalable, from near-infrared to terahertz wavelengths."
which, yes... it is not in "the visible light range" for their initial design, but i read further into the 'nano letters' portion of the article..
and it read:
" Simulations are also presented to show that our aberration-free designs are applicable to high-numerical aperture lenses such as flat microscope objectives."
so... perhaps, its only a matter of time until we see one that will work inside of our visible light range... and wouldn't that look wierd?! a non distorted human.. :-)
not yet... their future plan is to cover the whole visible spectrum.
The concept is plausible and well known for at least 15 years now (see e.g. this article), but it's hard to predict at what quality and price this might be feasible to construct for (more than monochromatic) visible light.
Let's hope and dream that technology will one day allow to create cheap 1mm-thin lenses with almost arbitrary properties ;-)
(PS: The say-nothing youtube video is pointless.)
"... the new device is completely scalable, from near-infrared to terahertz wavelengths." Since the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum falls within these bounds, one can assume that visible light is included.
Interesting, but it would be nice to see more detailed info. There are other possible ways to simplify an optical lens systems, for example by making the sensor focal plane curved/adaptive, or by making the lens' optical properties changeable (e.g., liquid lens, or adaptive catoptric and catadipotric systems). Let's see if any of these would become used outside of labs in real-life imaging.
What's the filter size?
@caveport: No, the frequencies of visible light are higher than both Infrared and Terahertz (1 THz == 10^12 Hertz) radiation.
Thus creating metamaterial for visible light is considerably more difficult, as it requires smaller structures. And unlike with microwave or Infrared radiation, a person looking at some apparatus processing visible light will quickly see what quality the result has - so it won't be sufficient to "just somehow bend the waves", making the task of producing lens-like quality metamaterial even more difficult.
It seems that meta-materials are not the only technology being researched to allow for flat lenses: The published article FlatCam: Thin, Bare-Sensor Cameras using Coded Aperture and Computation describes how a tiny array of "pinhole cameras" can be used completely without lenses, reconstructing the image computationally from the many "pinhole" images:.
The same research group now claims to have mastered the art of creating a flat meta-material lens working for the whole spectrum of visible light at once:
If there is no awkward unrevealed catch to this, it will definitely revolutionize how camera lenses are made and sized. However, we should wait for the scientific paper and some real-world examples before becoming too enthusiastic.
Update: The abstract of the (pay-walled) scientific paper at mentions one catch: Their meta-material lens currently transmits only 20% of the light, meaning 80% of the photons going into the lens do not make it through.

NASA will name 1st astronauts to fly commercial spacecraft to International Space Station
On Friday, NASA plans to announce the eight astronauts who will fly either SpaceX's Crew Dragon or Boeing's CST-100 Starliner ships for the first time.".
No.
Maurizio Sarri says Chelsea may make one more new signing
He started every game as Brazil reached this summer's World Cup quarter-finals, where they lost to Belgium. Ahead of the traditional season curtain-raiser, the Community Shield, Guardiola said: "I don't know".
Ferguson, who has been involved from the start in the Starliner's development, flew three shuttle missions as a Nasa astronaut. Boe piloted two shuttle flights. At first, it seemed like a logical idea - private space enterprises are rapidly becoming all the rage in the United States and beyond, with more than one private company already planning their own space stations for the decades to come.
An artist's conception shows SpaceX's Crew Dragon spaceship docking with the International Space Station, plus a cargo-carrying version of the Dragon in the foreground. The four other commercial crew members are still with NASA. He retired from NASA in 2011 and has been an integral part of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner program.
"Safely and reliably flying commercial crew missions for NASA remains the highest priority for SpaceX", Benji Reed, SpaceX's director of crew mission management, said in a statement. The astronauts are (L to R): Victor Glover, Robert Behnken, Michael Hopkins, Douglas Hurley, Eric Boe, Sunita Williams, Christopher Ferguson, Josh Cassada, and Nicole Mann.
The first Starliner post-certification mission, yet to be formally scheduled, will fly NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Sunita Williams..
"It's absolutely an opportunity of a lifetime", said Mann, who was selected as an astronaut in 2013. SpaceX is targeting April 2019 for its crewed demonstration flight, Demo-2. But while the newly announced crews are excited to once again launch from Florida instead of Kazakhstan, they aren't very nostalgic for the hardware of the shuttles themselves. "We had our quarterly [review] this week, and for the first time in years, it felt real".
During the manned tests, the astronauts will be able to use the displays inside the spacecraft, communicate with mission control and practise manual controls during flight. SpaceX's first operational flight to the space station will also be Glover's first flight to space.
SpaceX will launch from Kennedy Space Center on board Falcon 9 rockets while Boeing will send its crew capsule up from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station atop United Launch Alliance Atlas V rockets. Since her selection as an astronaut in 1998, she has spent 322 days aboard the International Space Station for Expeditions 14/15 and Expeditions 32/33, commanded the space station and performed seven spacewalks.
Wilfried Zaha 'tells team-mates he wants transfer to Chelsea'
So who do the bookies have out in front in the race to sign Zaha? An interesting next few days beckon. The probability of Chelsea recruiting a winger this summer is, at the time of writing, extremely slim. | http://personaltechmd.com/2018/08/04/meet-the-first-astronauts-to-fly-the-new-spacex-and-boeing/ | 2018-10-15T16:55:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Demi Lovato shares first statement following drug overdose
Demi Lovato has finally broken her silence after she was hospitalized for a drug overdose last month. Her family, team, and staff members who have been "by her side" through this hard time.
She added that her journey is far from over. What I've learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. "It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet", she wrote on Instagram. "I will keep fighting".
6 that Demi was quietly released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on August 4, and she immediately took a private plane to the rehab facility, which is not in California. E!.
Demi will be advised to get a new phone number and only share it with those who won't use to to tempt her back down a dark path.
Lovato previously was scheduled to appear on Fox game show Beat Shazam the same week when she overdosed. The Disney Channel alum was sent to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she has remained for 12 days.
Fox released a clip of the show that it has since removed in which Demi Lovato's music is a category. "Love you. Not only for your incredible voice, for your incredible music, but for what you stand for and everything you do".
The toxic red tide that’s decimating Florida’s marine life
They say almost 300 sea turtles have died since the toxic bloom began in the fall, that's about double the average number. Respiratory irritation and murky clumps of red drift algae have been reported from Collier to Sarasota counties.
"Love you so much sis", socialite/reality star Paris Hilton wrote.
The 25-year-old musician has struggled with substance abuse and depression. Her fans for their "love and support". "Some of the information being reported is incorrect and [Lovato's family] respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now".
She's now on tour and was scheduled to perform in New Jersey this week. She celebrated six years of sobriety in March but recently relapsed, revealing the news in the song "Sober", released in June..

:
1: Comfort
The day you bring your baby home from the hospital is a day that you will remember forever. To prepare for all of the pictures, you might be tempted to put your newborn daughter in that beautiful gown you found at that upscale boutique, or wrap her in that blanket that your Aunt Mary crocheted. However, when it comes to brand new babies, comfort should be your top priority. Here are a few things to think about in terms of comfort, so that you can protect your delicate little one:
- Fabric Choice: Instead of choosing a fabric based off of the way that it looks, search for an outfit that is soft and breathable. Keep in mind that some fabrics are much easier to clean than others. For example, linen or cashmere might make your baby look incredible, but those fabrics might need to be dry cleaned after that first feeding. Instead, opt for cotton or cotton/polyester blends, which are absorbent and soft enough for your baby.
- Outfit Type: You might imagine taking a bright-eyed, happy baby home from the hospital, but the reality might be much different. The fact of the matter is that most newborns sleep away most of the day, making pajamas the smart outfit choice. Look for nightgowns, long-sleeved onesies, or baby sleep sacks.
- Warmth: You have stores of fat to keep you warm, but what about your baby? Because newborns are so small, it can be hard for them to regulate their own body temperature. Unless the weather is hot—over 75 degrees Fahrenheit—your baby will need several layers to stay warm. Plan layered outfits, such as an undershirt and a diaper covered by a sleeper and a blanket.
If you are having a difficult time deciding between take-home outfits, ask your nurse what he or she thinks. Hospital staff members handle hundreds of babies each year, so they might be able to foresee problems you don't.
2: Accessibility
Those first few days of parenthood will be tough, and you need to be up for the challenge. Unfortunately, if you dress your baby in fussy outfits, it might be hard to swaddle, change, and care for your new child. Accessibility matters when it comes to newborn clothes, and you need to be ready to handle these tasks:
- Diapers: Believe it or not, newborn babies can burn through as many as 10-12 diapers a day. Try to choose outfits that have easily accessible diaper areas, and that have snaps or zippers that you could operate with a fussy, kicking baby.
- Umbilical Cords: Umbilical cords can take as long as 1-2 weeks to fall off, which might mean that you have to deal with a stump of dying tissue for awhile. To keep your baby safe and healthy, your doctor might ask you to clean this area with warm water and soap every day. To make daily cleanings easier and to keep your child comfortable, look for newborn outfits that are loose around the middle.
After you get your child dressed, keep in mind that the outfit they are wearing probably won't last long. If your child spits up or has a diaper blowout, you might need to switch out that onesie in a hurry. To make things easier for yourself, try to choose outfits made from stretchy, easy-to-clean materials.
By choosing the right outfit for your newborn, you can keep your baby comfortable and take new challenges in stride. You can find some great newborn outfit options from retailers like Shop Sugar Babies. | http://petsvacances.com/2015/07/14/packing-for-the-hospital-2-things-your-newborns-first-outfit-should-offer/ | 2018-10-15T17:24:27 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
