Drug Rehab San Antonio TX
Start Recovery Today with Drug Rehab in San Antonio
Too many people suffer silently and unnecessarily from drug addiction because they think it is supposed to be a secret, or they don't know the way to get help. Even in the event that they don't let anybody know, many people try to quit abusing drugs or alcohol by themselves, however substance addiction is a disease that cannot be beat with strength of mind alone. Drug Rehab San Antonio, TX's skilled substance dependency professionals possess the experience and compassion to address substance dependency effectively, utilizing medically-proven rehab methods. Drug Rehab San Antonio, TX objects to the popular misconception that substance addiction is a decision, instead, treating it as a disease.
What's Drug Addiction?
If substance dependency isn't a choice, what is it? Substance abuse disorder (frequently called substance addiction, substance abuse, or substance dependency) is known to be a life-long illness by medical doctors and counselors, and as such it has to be controlled and monitored, but never 'cured.' Many different illnesses, like hypertension and diabetes, can't be cured which is similar to addiction because, even though people don't consciously choose to have these diseases, they often don't exercise or choose good foods. So, even though an addict might decide to begin taking an addictive substance, this substance modifies their decision making skills in ways that remove choice, replacing it with wild and illogical desires.
Consequences of Substance Abuse Disorder
Substance abuse disorder includes any abuse of legal or illegal substances, like pharmaceutical medication, drugs, and alcohol. The physiological and medical consequences of drug addiction can be equally deadly (disorders of the nervous system, blood-borne illnesses, immune deficiencies, multiple organ failure, brain damage, and so on), but it's important to take into account that the mental and social consequences can also be dangerous. Substance dependency commonly results in the addict participating in unsafe activities, such as driving while intoxicated, criminal activities, preventable injuries, and dysfunctional behaviors that lead to unhealthy relationships with family, in the workplace, and in the larger population.

Thirty boats crossed the start line of the 2008-2009 Vendée Globe but only 11 completed the gruelling round the world race. One of those was 34-year-old Sam Davies aboard her IMOCA 60 Roxy. After 95 days, 4 hours, 39 minutes and 1 second, Davies was the third sailor to cross the finish line at Les Sables d'Olonne after sailing an epic 27,420 miles. (Davies missed out on the podium by just over one hour following the time compensation given to Marc Guillemot for diverting to assist in the evacuation of an injured competitor.)
Sam Davies has been deeply involved on the professional offshore sailing scene for many years. Perfectly at ease at sea, she took on her first Vendée Globe with relish and stole the hearts of sailing fans the world over through her daily video, photo and journal reporting. The extreme hardships of the race place enormous demands on the skippers and Davies demonstrated prudence when required but also a steely determination to attack the race course. Davies was one of the few sailors who covered more than 400 miles in one day and on 18 December she diverted her course to go to the aid of fellow competitor Yann Eliès who had suffered a broken leg.
Since finishing the Vendée Globe, Davies has teamed up with rival skipper Dee Caffari and an all girl crew to claim the Round Britain and Ireland monohull record aboard Aviva in 6 days and 11 hours. She has also joined the Artemis Ocean Racing team and faced her first test as skipper in the notorious Rolex Fastnet Race. Leading the IMOCA 60 fleet around the Rock, Davies and crew were narrowly beaten to second place.

It's a big season for Everton's Shane Duffy. Captain of the Irish U21 side, the Derryman is eyeing a gap in the Toffees' back-line and a return to Giovanni Trapattoni's Republic plans. Having suffered a life-threatening injury on international duty, Duffy knows all about comebacks.
The man at the centre of a tug-of-war between Northern Ireland, whom he had represented at under-age level, and the Republic of Ireland, it was Duffy's case that prompted the IFA to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The judgement ultimately went in favour of the southern neighbours and Duffy has remained in Giovanni Trapattoni's thoughts.
After joining Everton in 2008 as a youth-team player, the defender made his first team début versus AEK Athens in the UEFA Europa League in December 2009, coming on for the injured Sylvain Distin.
The boy who had played with Foyle Harps in Derry seemed to have the world at his feet. Then came the dream call from Republic boss Giovanni Trapattoni to report to the Irish training camp in Malahide in May 2010
Aged just 18-years-old, Duffy was involved in a freak collision with the goalkeeper in a practice game at Gannon Park which saw him suffer life-threatening damage to his liver.
FAI team surgeon Professor John O'Byrne and doctor Alan Byrne attended to Duffy on the pitch before he was rushed to the nearby Mater Hospital in Dublin for emergency surgery.
"Shane was very frightened. He thought he was going to die," said Byrne afterwards.
"Shane collided with a player in a way that you would see thousands of times in football matches. It was a freak injury that in another 100 years of medicine, we may never see again."
An emotional assistant manager Marco Tardelli commented at the time of speaking with Duffy's father Brian as his own son was around the same age.
Brian told the BBC: "We knew there was something wrong when Shane didn't get up. There was serious concern that we could have lost Shane in the ambulance – he was in severe pain."
"I should have been burying my son as the doctors and professors say they have never heard the like of it."
Duffy suffered a severed artery near his liver and required an emergency operation to address the problem. At one point there was 3.6 litres of blood in his abdomen, but the procedure was a success.
Duffy made a full recovery and was back in action within ten weeks playing in a reserve friendly versus Sligo Rovers. Loan moves to Burnley and Scunthorpe followed before he made his Premier League début at White Hart Lane on 11 January 2012, and marked his first start three days later against Aston Villa.
In February 2012 Duffy was called up to replace Richard Dunne in the Irish squad for the friendly with the Czech Republic.
He made three substitute appearances for Everton last term but was an ever-present on the bench. He has admitted himself it was a difficult period in terms of game-time but with new manager Roberto Martinez in charge, it could prove a big season for the Derryman.
Fellow defender John Heitinga, who made 30 appearances last year, has expressed a desire to return to Holland. The 29-year-old admitted he had a poor season with many calling for Duffy to replace him early in the campaign. The Irishman is knocking on the door but earlier this year he confirmed he could consider leaving Goodison Park in a bid to get games.
The Toffees don't have much cash to splash but with David Moyes now in place at Old Trafford, it's a chance for Duffy to impress under the new man in charge Roberto Martinez. Under Moyes, Everton reached the qualifying stages of the Champions League and have consistently pushed for a top-four finish. Last season they ended in sixth place and despite the Scotsman's departure, betting sites at www.bookmakers.co.uk still place the Toffees as strong contenders for the European spots.
For the moment Duffy looks like biding his time to see how Martinez beds in. The former Wigan manager is actively seeking to bolster his squad and the Irishman is under contract until 2015 having signed a new deal in 2012.
Still just 21 years of age, Duffy is captain of the Irish U21 team. Last May he skipped club-mate and international exile Darron Gibson's stag party to lead the side in a friendly against Denmark. Noel King's squad is preparing for the UEFA Championship qualifiers later this year but if Duffy can force his way into the Everton first team ahead of the new season, with an August friendly with Wales to come and question marks over Richard Dunne's future, Giovanni Trapattoni could look again to the comeback kid.

Population, the State, and National Grandeur. Demography as a political science in modern France
Population, the State, and National Grandeur. Demography as a political science in modern France
Paul-André Rosental, Population, the state, and national grandeur: Demography as political science in modern France, Peter Lang, coll. Population, Famille et Société / Population, Family, and Society, Bern, 24 déc. 2018, 376 p.
Only in France is demography essentially the population science: it is taught at school, newspapers feature the evolution of fertility rates in their headlines and the subject sparks ideological debates in the media. How did demography become a national identity issue?
The French exception is attributable to a political history that reached fulcrums during the Second World War under the racist Vichy regime and then after the Liberation, with the development of population policies and the creation of the French National Institute for Demographic Studies (INED). The book is the first to retrace its controversial genesis and analyze its ramifications for the following decades. It shows how theories, institutions and demographic policies developed simultaneously in France. Its reflection on the links between ideologies, science and the state offers a model that could be applied to the history of many other scientific disciplines.
Paul-André Rosental's indispensable study examines the emergence of demography as an autonomous discipline and its association with the state in mid-twentieth-century France. Demography's success in the immediate post-war years came in part from its dual concern with both "science" and "action," which allowed policy makers to claim both knowledge and expertise in addressing social problems. Rosental's measured tone hides a provocative argument that should serve as both a model and a foil for others working in the history of the human sciences.

The Nito Nito no Mi is a non-canon Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that gives the user the abilities of nitroglycerin, making them a Nitroglycerin Human (ニトロ人間 Nitoro Ningen?). It was eaten by Bürst.[1]
"Nito" comes from nitoro (ニトロ?), the Japanese way of saying "nitro".
Strengths and WeaknessesEdit
The fruit allows the user to sweat a nitroglycerin-like compound, which detonates on impact. This allows him to create explosions merely by clapping his hands.[citation needed]
Aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses, there seem to be no known weaknesses to this power.

Wireless sound speakers are a great, fairly originality that conserves a bunch of sorrow in both the house and also the office. Utilizing wireless speakers combined with public address (PA) systems allows listeners to link to live alerts in modular as well as short-lived settings without a great deal of problem. We check out the growth of such trends in this short article.
Administrators like wireless sound speakers since they can pay for to allow the interaction procedures that they have with workers and also others to advance over time. Even if this means a reconfiguration of the audio devices, the expenses are very little due to the fact that the potential concern of passing on sound speaker wire doesn't participate in the equation.
Public address systems appear to have actually started mostly in institutions. There was a should upgrade pupils every day in order to scheduling changes, tasks they might want, as well as upcoming events. Calling settings up every early morning was one alternative for doing this, but in placing a closed-circuit sound broadcast into each class and office made a lot more sense time-wise or even money-wise.
The setup involved laying wires from a central location (the college office) per individual space and also linking a speaker there. Amplification and the microphone were at the central area, and there was a switch for turning the system off and on. This design worked the same for years; class were dealt with and reused for similar objectives time after time.
In addition, P A systems simply really did not exist in apart from educational settings. But soon the status quo began to be discovered desiring. Many sort of businesses saw the value being used a public address system for interacting within the company, or even colleges saw the should be more versatile with their audio devices.
Companies recognized that, despite a couple of messages being individual and also therefore exclusive in nature, the majority of the alerts that needed to be made were public as well as took care of to the mass target market. Sending out a gofer around to provide such interactions was wasteful when audible shipment was right available. Companies likewise saw the possible to extend acoustic messaging into various other areas such as announcing breaks or move modifications and signaling emergencies.
At the same time, lots of schools experienced certain difficulties that influenced the old means of supplying public addresses, consisting of development into short-term (manufactured) structures, improvements, or even reorganizations. They began to reuse and/or reconfigure rooms including auditoria for many different purposes. The proceeding have to connect publicly anywhere suggested that the boost to modularity and also the framework of cables were in problem.
An additional facet of just how the PA system functions is synchronization. Colleges have to have all their bells synchronized, or changing courses would certainly be disorderly. Not just would the logistics obtain screwy however the slightly out-of-sync noises would certainly also be rather perplexing.
This carries over right into playing noises over scores of speakers that typically aren't dramatically far in addition to one another. If one audio speaker is slightly ahead or behind the next one, a resemble creates that makes it extremely difficult to hear the message content. So all the sound speakers need to be specifically synchronized, just like the bells are, for points to function effectively.
When transmission is done over wires, asynchrony is not an issue because the time distinctions are at a lot of in microseconds. Yet if wireless transmissions run into data transfer issues, the asynchrony is obvious.
Just what this indicates is that with the fad to wireless clock systems and PA systems, discomforts must be taken to make sure precise synchronicity of all equipment. Transmission capacity can not be allowed to go out. Interference as well as disturbances could not be enabled to happen.
Exactly what about universality? Up to now the presumption has been that the statements go to every person, in every area. However lately there has been the desire for selectivity.
It may be important that a space or division not be interrupted, as an example. Nevertheless, control over this typically resides back at the sound source, not with each individual speaker. So, as use of public address systems has actually progressed and spread out into many different company settings, their operation has actually expanded in complexity together with the wish for tweaking them to collaborate with a variety of company models.
Complexity could typically be compensated for with adaptability. As well as a cordless interconnectivity is far more flexible than a wired one. This holds whether the transmission is of control signals (such as integrating the clocks) or of audio.
It is currently commonplace to experience P A system usage in health centers, flight terminals, and also various other company setups. A wired setup for medical facilities is reasonable due to the fact that sound needs to be piped almost everywhere whatsoever times. But airport terminals need more versatility as a result of continuous construction and/or moving around, and wireless links make sense for them.
These evolving trends maintain pioneering of technological opportunities. It'ses a good idea to be proficient and also nimble, prepared to adopt the most up to date approaches of operating. We are certainly visiting remain to experience public address systems, however a growing number of they will certainly be attached to wireless sound speakers.

: Fronting Monte Carlo's Strip entrance, this vibrant two-story Mexican-style cantina features a fiesta-like ambience. The centerpiece on each level is a mammoth bar with TV screens. The menu offers traditional south-of-the-border specialties, plus an array of imaginative dishes. Among favorite starters are the baked queso fundido with roasted tomatillo sauce, topped with guacamole; and the chicken tostada salad served in a tortilla bowl with grilled chicken, mixed greens, red cabbage, black beans, cilantro, sour cream and vinaigrette dressing. Diablo's jumbo prime wood-grilled burger, which comes with tomato, lettuce, sliced pickles and Louie sauce, is a winner, as is the carne asada "fajita" sandwich with grilled seasoned steak, sautéed peppers, onions and pepper jack cheese. Among entrée choices, we like the mesquite-grilled salmon with fresh vegetables and green rice, as well as carne asada steak with chipotle-chimichurri marinade. The "ultimate" (huge) brownie banana split is worth the splurge.

Ok, stop! Back the choo choo up.
I'm a girl. I don't do automotive repairs. I don't like grease or dirt, or sweating, or dirt (did I say that already?). So I said "what are you talking about? Me? Get under there and kill myself trying to change a tire? What if the car falls on me?" He said "don't put your body under the car, Love. It's a tire, not an engine. What other choice do you have? I can't leave work, you're gonna have to figure it out or call a friend to come and get you where you need to be". Well, that was just fine and dandy! Now I've got to change a tire? No, no - first, LEARN to change a tire, then change a tire. Never mind that I've been fasting for the blood work and I'm starving. Never mind that by the time I get to the lab, I'll be wasted away. (insert rediculous whine here).
Well, there was nothing to be done. I had to face the giant. So, see above for the hilarity that was my adventure in a tire changing experience.
After it was done, I actually felt proud of myself. I was kind of...beaming. I strolled into that tire joint and told the service man all proud like "I had a flat". He just stared at me. "I mean, I had to put the spare on, by myself, and I've never done that before, but what can you do, right? I mean, it's gotta be changed!" Stupid giggle here. A slight nod from the man. "That is to say, I hope I did it right" (giggle snort here). One side of his mouth slightly curves as he tries to give me a half-hearted "lady, please shut up" smile. I let out a nervous cough. "So, I'm hoping it'll be ok? I couldn't find a nail or anything obvious.." "We'll look at it", he tells me. A half hour later, I'm still beaming. It's like my whole day is better because I got to do something new and challenging and I'm proud of myself, which doesn't happen too often. (unfortunately)
I go back to the desk when my name is called and he hands me my keys. "You're all set", he tells me. I am? "Well, what was wrong? Nail? Glass? Hard metal object embedded in the side?" Now he smiles - the big kind. The kind that says "brace yourself, stupid". "Your air cap was loose". Eh?? Come again? "Your air cap...it was unscrewed...the air just drained out". Say what, now? "So there was nothing wrong. We checked it all over. The tire is fine and you're good to go". At which point he hands me the keys and says "no charge" and smiles that irritating smile again. I wanted to punch him in the face. But my hands were still tired from the tire changing episode. Talk about letting the "air" out of my tire! Well! I just smiled politely and said "wow...thanks then...I guess...for that...(cough)." And there you have it.
When I called AB and told him what had happened to the tire, he said "well, you could have just pumped it up in the garage. We have a compressor, you know?" Really? Do we??? What the frig is a compressor??? How would I know that? How could I have known that a flat tire, FLAT, was only the result of the air being let out and not a nail, etc. Well, now I know! And apparently, we have a compressor. Yeah.
I'm still proud of myself. I still think it was a good lesson to learn. Now I know what to do and yesterday I didn't. Now I wouldn't dread it as much if I were on the side of the road somewhere with a flat. Now I feel slightly more empowered than when I woke up this morning. Now I know to check the frigging air cap every now and then. And that we have a compressor (!*&$#(*&!*(&@(*&@!#!@@).

Review Identifies 140 Controlled Clinical Trials Related to Cannabis
Scientists have conducted over 140 controlled clinical trials since 1975 assessing the safety and efficacy of whole-plant cannabis or specific cannabinoids, according to a new literature review published in the journal Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences.
A pair of German researchers identified 140 clinical trials involving an estimated 8,000 participants. Of these, the largest body of literature focused on the use of cannabis or cannabinoids in the treatment of chronic or neuropathic pain. Authors identified 35 controlled studies, involving 2,046 subjects, assessing the use of marijuana or cannabinoids in pain management. In January, the National Academy of Sciences acknowledged that "conclusive or substantial evidence" exists for cannabis' efficacy in patients suffering from chronic pain.
Cannabinoids have also been well studied as anti-emetic agents and as appetite stimulants. Researchers identified 43 trials evaluating marijuana or its components for these purposes, involving total 2,498 patients. They also identified an additional 14 trials examining the role of cannabis or cannabis-derived extracts in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
Researchers also identified several additional trials evaluating the use of cannabis or cannabinoids for Crohn's disease, Tourette's syndrome, Parkinson's disease, glaucoma, epilepsy, and various other indications.
A 2014 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that new drugs typically gain FDA approval on the basis of one or two pivotal clinical trials.

Thank you Paul.
To those of us becoming familiar with the technical terminology, "controlled" studies are not only vital to FDA approval, (one of the biggest "controlled" agencies by Big Pharma to maintain prohibition, if I may bend the context of the current definition), but "controlled" studies are absolutely necessary to fight propaganda from Big Pharma and Project SAM by citing sources of marijuana's medical efficacy in individuals separated from alcohol, tobacco and prescription medications.
This library of controlled studies can be found on this website with a click on the options tab (top right) and we need to share this information with our state and federal politicians frequently and continuously. Please take some time to copy the links in this data and paste it into our next letter to our Congressman, which can be found clicking on the green "Act" tab here on this website.
Now, to those of us who either frequent this blog or have achieved a unified mental, spiritual and physical understanding and identity concerning marijuana and whole plant medicine, and are just visiting, check this out:
This is a Youtube video of Gabriel Maté, M.D. during his recent presentation "From Jungle to Civilization: How Plant Medicines Can Promote Health in a Toxic Culture," at the M.A.P.S. Psychedelic Science 2017 seminar.
The principle of his presentation is essentially that we live in a toxic culture where we treat acute pain wich intends not to cure underlying chronic pain (for predatory profit) and provides a dissasociation from our present self identity and "esscence" by failing to treat or "cleaving" the mind and spirit from treatment to the body.
Whole plant cannabis treats all three simultaneously.
But are current times less barbaric? As consumers of private insurance and patented single-molecule prescription medications we participate in the toxicity of our culture. Our smartphones provide us an endless venue of escape from dealing with our supressed emotions. Weve never needed marijuana more to confront our hidden inner selves and heal our fractured identities.
And thats what is changing: What is new about the message and circumstances of Dr. Maté is that more American consumers in states with legalized marijuana are replacing prescription medications, especially synthetic opiates, with whole plant cannabis for chronic pain, depression, addiction, disease and mental illness where synthetic prescription medications have failed.
What is new is that we are finally hearing a professional correction of the meaning and context of the words "toxic" and "medicine," so we understand how to moderate dosage and balance mental and spiritual well being with our physical health. Marijuana is reconnecting us not only to our supressed identities, but to eachother and nature. If we grow a marijuana plant, why not some tomatoes, compost, save the base cut of lettuce, place it in a cup of water and start a sustainable garden?
As we legalize whole plant marijuana we experience a reconnection with our common roots, our heritage and spiritual identity; a divergence from escapism and a return to the healing social activity and diversity of sustainable gardens our ancestors cultivated for us, rather than the industrialized model of profit over patients or the agricultural monoculture that threatens the fabric of coexistence with humankind within our planet.
42 years ago crossing the Indian ocean in rough seas I became violently seasick, I am talking serious dehydration not able to hold down a drop of water for days. The ships medical officer gave me some motion sickness pills, these came right back up along with the dry heaves. To hurry this story along, a friend produced a joint, we smoked it, 10 minutes later I was feeling way way better, 20 minutes later I was eating and rehydrating, 30 minutes or so after that I laid down and slept for hours. The next day I was a little weak from the ordeal but pretty much cured, I could really care less if anyone believes this or not, let them be sick if they are too ignorant or hard headed, besides this happened 20 years before I even heard the term MMJ.
A few years ago i took some antibiotics made from sulfur crystals and had a violent reaction were i lost my top layer of skin,i was vomiting real bad and tried dramamine ,benadryl, to stop the vomiting but could not keep anything down, Was starting to dehydrate and couldn't keep water, pedialyte or gatorade down. But after smoking some cannabis about 10-15 minutes later i was able to drink some gatorade, and eat a few crackers and get start to get rehydrated.
Hey, everyone. This article IS slightly at least related to this article. I lost my password on my Yahoo! account, and I was not able to comment on this ridiclous article that I am posting, so if you want to leave comments of protest, here is the article. It is an article which I things assumes too much on the negative side. I was irritated reading it, but it is still an important article. Thanks, and hope you keep my post up, NORML, I know this is a somewhat different article but it is relevant to our cause. Stay strong, all, opinions like this one we should resist. And Rosenburg is wrong. Peace.
oh, and sorry for the extended replies here, but forgot to say, another reason I posted on this article is because I was so irritated I did not want to wait until the morning, lol. So I hope NORML moderators keep it up 🙂 Thank you.
What would it mean for the unconstitutional and unchangeable doctrine written by crooks that created and supplied the everlasting "drug war"?
@ Joel: the other Joel,
This is our dilemma.
For those who respect truth and reason, we've already won the argument, years ago, when Jack Herer pointed out that "the emperor has no clothes." But for those who only respect power and money, this will mean nothing, and they will continue to spew their violent propaganda onto the rest of us. The innocent and the gullible will buy their propaganda, and will become witless foot soldiers in the war against us.
Yet, we must promote the truth, even more so. I believe facts are mightier than alternative facts, don't you?
Lol… its "The Emperor Wears No Clothes," Mark. 🙂
If he "has" no clothes it would be less of a statement of the perception of hemp and more of a basic humanitarian issue.
Of course Im being an @$$.
All respects due to the late Jack Herrer. His investigative links from Mellon, Anslinger and Hearst are still a source of "conspirital" contention. Just because racism and beaurocracy were the major origins of prohibition does not mean that Dupont and the rest of the timber and petrochemical industry werent terrified their patents would never compete nor profit from a fairly taxed and legaly regulated domestic hemp economy. The most fascinating fact of the Marijuana Stamp Act of 1937 is that poor white farmers had no idea that the "Mexican Marijuana" prohibition law they were supporting would not recognize the difference from the hemp that sustained their farms.
But to answer Joel's question, this evidence means nothing to our prohibitionist enemies so long as Vermont or any state is delayed from legislatively legalizing marijuana and our Federal Courts determine "Congress does not have to be right."
Its up to us to get the right people into our state and federal legislatures.
Better get that $#!+ right if Im going to correct you! 😉
@ Mark Mitcham
I agree it is our dilemma.
By discerning the holistic meaning of the federal definition of marijuana that is consistent with the findings needed for its Schedule 1 status from within its conflicted sentences which are literally misinterpreted as an omnibus, and stating that meaning clearly, then this reform of that definition can be presented to the lawmakers as an alternative that upholds the Constitution before being rescheduled (note the minor update):
Sec.802.(16). The term "marijuana" means all parts of the smoke produced by the combustion of the plant Cannabis sativa L. which is, as are the viable seeds of such plant, prohibited to be grown by or sold by any publicly traded corporation or subsidiary company.
This reform means that the versatile cannabis plant will be de-scheduled, while the accurately defined "term" retains its Schedule 1 status until its medical value is officially recognized.
Tell every one of them.
Well if it aint ol Yearbait the Great, building your smokeless Tower of Babble.
Einstein once said "If you cant explain it to a 4 year old you probably dont understand it yourself."
Except I think you know damn well that hidden in your labrynth of dead-end definitions you are advocating the arrest and continued prohibition of marijuana consumers simply because they "smoke" whole plant marijuana, aren't you?
And you also know damn well that by advocating smokeless ingestion of cannabis that this avenue of policy will NOT lead to "descheduling" but "REscheduling," which means quasi-prohibition where synthetic pharmaceutical patents from mass-murderers like Insys Therapeutics control the market.
Im just a self employed construction contractor trying to keep my kids healthy and out of jail when they get busted smoking weed after a Friday night football game.
Who do you work for Yearbait? Project SAM? GW Pharma? Insys? C'mon, spill it or kill it.
Your rigorous monitoring of the blogs is commendable. Thanks for including a "Reply" link. It shows that you are fair. While the original reply was to Joel, the other Joel, your hostility was prefigured. Nevertheless, I persisted. Would that we could be cordial.
Fibers and cannabinoids from cannabis are just the things that the reformed definition will re-legitimize. When the results of the study "Medicinal uses of marijuana and cannabinoids" are officially recognized – then from marijuana too (but not for kids).
Try explaining, or even reciting the current definition to a 24 yr. old. He will probably just stare at his cell phone below the table. Explain the reform to them, and they might just contact their members of Congress.
De-scheduled cannabis will re-inform us of the reasons for the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. Luckily, people in 29 states are also being re-informed. The enlightenment of/from cannabis led to our heritage's foundation, but the unreasonable prohibition of cannabis stoked by the hyperbolic fear of the poorly defined substance called marijuana is causing the problems. I just volunteered to be a problem solver.
Alright Year, let us be cordial but answer eachother clearly. No dodgeball.
First, Im flattered you think Im "fair" but we have no control over the "Reply" button on this forum. It runs out after the fourth or fifth reply, so you will have to reply to my previous post and write "@Julian."
Second, you did not answer my most important statement and question… that by advocating the redefinition of prohibition limited to "the smoke of" we are still condemning Americans to incarceration, especially those with less income and in states without voter initiatives. Also, this redefinition would much more likely result in Rescheduling, not DEscheduling, leading to a continuance of prohibition under schedule II with an oppressive synthetic patenting of marijuana. How do you reconcile this line of policy with your relentless to persuit of redefining the goal post? Dont you feel your method of federal rescheduling and redefinition is distracting us from persuing better efforts to respect states rights?
What about bongs? Would that have helped Tommy Chong when he was prosecuted by the government for selling glass and/or plastic pipes?
I wonder if there is such a book titled, The Metaphysical Arguments About Marijuana and how to understand it without the help of that wonderful weed.
So youre a "problem solver" huh Yearbait?
Solve THIS problem:
Florida legislature just banned smoking marijuana even though it was written into the voter-approved Constitutional amendment to allow smoked marijuana in their state medical program.
Same bull$#!+ that happened to Pennsylvania when Big Pharma got involved. Sure, its going to court, but continuing to incarcerate people who smoke their medicine while others vaporize is another way of Big Pharma trying to hide the "magic" of possession of whole plant cannabis and hide synthetic patents in oils and vaporized forms of ingestion.
Im trying to be cordial with you but youve got a lot of answering to do because I was tired of this war on whole plant weed bull$#!+ since conception.
The answer to your question is literally in the text of the reform. The term "marijuana" is listed in Schedule 1 with the "h" spelling, not the term "cannabis". By being specific in its meaning, the reformed definition literally de-schedules the plant, and I think you are correct in that it would likely result in the rescheduling of marijuana – the smoke. Rescheduled smoke would be legal smoke, probably with restrictions like for tobacco smoke.
Primarily, it is the enforced conflation of the two terms permitted by its unspecific riddle of a definition that makes people think cannabis is in the Schedule. A clear definition is important because that will remove the conflation, and thereby conform to the Necessary and Proper clause.
Attempts to reschedule the current definition have always failed because that definition violates the Constitution. That is its "trick". If the current definition was rescheduled, its format would still violate the Constitution, and that would likely become more apparent. In an earlier blog, I saw how some States, like Texas, define marijuana to be the plant. See how they joined in effecting the "trick"? When redefined at the federal level, then the Supremacy clause would put an end to their trick.
Cannabis can then be controlled, but not prohibited, by the States as per the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, and its smoke (marijuana specifically) can then be rescheduled to acknowledge its medical value, as well as its nuisance value. THC has already been effectively rescheduled except when within marijuana. That is why the medical studies are so important.
I really dont know now whether you are baiting us into a rescheduling trap or youre just tilting at the Windmills like Don Quixote, or both.
Marijuana will be prohibited under its current scheduling whether we spell it with an "h" a "j" call it cannabis or whatever the Hell "booty juice" or any of the other so-called slang terms are listed on the DEA's website.
CONGRESS HAS TO DESCHEDULE MARIJUANA by CLEARLY stating it has been REMOVED from the Controlled Substances Act. As Ive said before, simply redefining all those smoke and mirrors is just a long road down Reschedule-ville.
And where do you get the idea that Rescheduling the "smoke" of marijuana would make it legal as "tobacco"? You do realize tobacco- even though it kills 450,000 Americans per year and marijuana kills none- isnt even on the CSAct's scheduling list?
NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano has written plenty of articles on how rescheduling marijuana is still prohibition. And if you want to see what a failure it is to legalize even medical marijuana while prohibiting the smoke, you wont have to wait long because the Florida legislature just did it. And its already going to court.
As for the Supremacy Clause taking on the whole plant definition in Texas, check out the next blog. I dont know what you expected it to "take care" of but right now at least it doesnt apply to private cases. Even if the Supremacy Clause challenged a state definition of cannabis it would STILL be prohibition!!
A weed by any other name would still smell as sweet. And prohibition by any other scheduling or definition still stinks. And the Texas definition is more honest about what Big Pharma wants to do, although it is preposterous to prohibit or patent an entire plant. While were at it I patent the horse, potatoes and some jalapeños and prohibit anyone else from their possession. Wish me luck.
When we break it all down THC is not profitable by itself because its the synergy of cannabinoids that make whole plant cannabis medically and recreationally safe and effective. Its part of marijuana's unpatentable charm. Any attempt to synthesize and redefine marijuana prohibition to patent its molecules has failed because our medical synthetic patenting system has failed. Synthetics make us sick and give us side effects. Synthetic heroin is a growing pandemic. Synthetic marijuana kills and its NOT whole plant cannabis, no matter what we call it or how we the public, the DEA or the FDA define it.
You can call marijuana whatever you want just roll me up and smoke me when I die because Im not going to stop smoking the plant unless I choose to.
What about you, Year? How do you consume your herb? And have you clicked on the Act tab to protect states rights and take action so I can call you by your proper moniker?
Keep these European Vacation articles coming.
It sure would be a nice bit of progress in Manchester if Colin Davies finally got to open a cannabis coffeeshop like in the old article what I dug out of the archives.
I'm all for non-cooperation with the prohibitionist feds.
Crackdown on legalization would backfire:
EVERYONE! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah if this happens!! Let us hope so, even if Trump pushes another prohibitionist, at least this would be a delay! YES!!
Holy $#!+!!
Sessions just asked Trump to resign and Trump refused! The President is blaming Sessions for recusing himself of the Russian investigation for the appointment of Special prosecutor Mueller. Sessions knows that testimony from tomorrows hearing with former FBI director Comey will be an historic damnation of a greater scale than any President in US history. (Nixon didnt even have evidence of direct tampering in surveillance or elections… he simply ordered others to do it. Not so with the big mouth on the Trump chump).
So what does this mean for marijuana policy? The Cole memos were still under "review" but Sessions has ordered a scaling back to mandatory minimums and private prisons. For now, we in the marijuana legalization community can rest assured the USAG is too preoccupied to give his full attention to Drug War III. We can sit back, pop a few medibles and listen to Mueller's testimony tomorrow and feel the tremor of the collective squirming of spines in Washington when Sessions' name is mentioned at the hearing. So much for fake news: $#!+'s about to get real.
I totally agree with you, Julian, on how I too have noticed this is a huge ditraction that will serve to our benefit, the Comey and Russia affair, you are right on, and I await the proceedings today as well.
I see my letter to Director Henderson was deemed inappropriate and discarded.
I will comment that Florida just finally is convening on medical. Hope NORML posts something of value on the subject.
Oh, btw, I attempted a donation on here but debit did not go through, I wish it had, but it worked for MPP.
Right on, as so frequently, Julian. I can't wait. I personally think if Sessions steps down it is Guiliani coming up next, Christie's career is tainted goods,but you are so right, again, about this whole affair being a distraction. Should have seen the major mainstream media networks last night. Massive Comey inquiry coverage, how he went to Sessions…his convos with Trump, the disagreements between the two….sad for America, indeed. But I do hope he resigns, we shall see what happens.
My fight now, however, is primarily in DEFENSE of the states that have fully legalized. Expansion is supposed to be our priority, but I think now is the time to defend against fed. interference and other measures. Conn. looks promise on expansion. Few others, at the moment. Thanks, Julian.
I must apologize to NORML as I see my long post to Director Henderson is still awaiting moderation before being posted. I am very sorry about this, I need to pay closer attention to time zones….well, I only request it still be posted..and I will pay closer attention as a guest of this site in the future. My post was not discarded, and I apologize for saying that it was. I just did not notice it was still under moderation. Norml, sorry about that, I will be more careful in the future. I hope you will still consider posting, I at least do feel it is entirely app. and a very cool post, I was really feeling the passion at the time. Also, I did want to mention, perhaps NORML, in the end of the week notices, do not forget Florida.
If you have heard, they just convened for the first time on medical, MPP sent me an email notification too. I will be back on tomorrow. Again, I am sorry for not noticing my post was, in fact, still under moderation, and not "deemed inapp. and discarded." I just failed to notice it had merely not been approved yet. So I will be more careful in the future for certain. :)—Matt, and in solidarity
and one final point, lol, one thing that was true, I did attempt to donate on here, sigh, my debit card did not go through, but as soon as I figure that out, I would be more than happy to make that financial donation. MPP did get a donation though, so at least that went through. 🙂 Matt
What I find hilarious is not only that apparently Sessions has been begging the President for months to resign but this whole explanation that the reason Trump is angry with ol Beau is because Trump believes Sessions betrayed him by recusing himself of the Russian investigation. When in fact, Sessions was doing the correct procedure to keep suspicion away from the dumb box of orange rocks we call our President.
Now Sessions is on Trump's hitlist and he wont let him resign so he can be sure to throw him under the bus when the heat picks up this summer. The funny part is Sessions was trying to help cover up Trump's tracks. Thats what he and every Trump supporter gets for being a wipe-@$$: A federal indictment and the unemployment line. Life is like a box o chocolates, aint it ol Trump-Gump-Sessions?
WHAT Rudy Guliani is going to do us….to minorities…broken windows…stop and frisk..black man with a white wife……
this is a nightmare
Appointing Guliani is not going to be easy, and the lack of appointments in General is art of an anarchist strategy from Chief Grim Reaper Bannon:
More likely, Rosenstein will become AG if Sessions gets the can. Leafly's new political Haymaker column points out that Rosenstein stopped prosecuting cannabis cases when he was top prosecutor in Baltimore after Maryland legalized mmj, meaning he respects states rights.
Whats going to be interesting is Rosenstein already has to recuse himself from investigating the Russia-Gate since he appointed a special councel and he himself is under investigation. Trump got neutered and theres nothing he can do about it or fire his way out of it.
Besides, Guliani wouldnt pass confirmation and I dont think even he wants the job anymore. Who wants to work for a sociopath who cant even distinguish a supportive ruse of a disagreement from disloyalty?
My response to Law Director Henderson as a former Ohio resident:
Your proposal to ban, outright, the distrubution, cultivation, or sale of medical marijuana in Perrysburg is not only a tragedy, but an absolute joke, which flies in the face of not only the inevitable future of legalilzation nationwide, but for the patients who desperately request marijuana rather than the use of powerful and addictive opiods.
You apparently heard from noone at the city council meeting recently, the public forum, well, now you are hearing from me. I don't think you seem to realize that medical marijuana is legal in about 28 or 29 states now, but, perhaps based on a "fear for safety of the community," or the typical talking points of those living in fear and suspicion of the unknown, you want it BANNED. Perhaps, if you could go farther, use itself would also be banned as well, perhaps it already is. I commend your neighbor, Bowling Green, for rejecting a ban on medical marijuana.
The tide toward the legalization of this wonderful plant is clearly shifting in this country, and even a federal crackdown will not stop the inevitable future. I commend the states who see the FUTURE, and have not only permitted legal medical use, but have woken up to reality, and allowed full and total recreational marijuana use, enjoyed by many, from many professionals, educational backgrounds, functions in society, and walks of life.
I really encourage you, Mrs. Henderson, to wake up to reality and see that your ban will, even if it passes will one day be tossed aside by those who see a better way, and use common sense rather than remaining stuck in the past. This ban is a bad idea, and is ignorant of the reality of all the other cities who permit for said distributing, culitvation, and selling of BOTH medical and recreational use, and who reap the benefits. If you want Perrysburg to remain stuck in the past, the proverbial Dark Ages of Prohibition, be my guest. I was done with confused and backwards Ohio a long time ago. Perhaps you joined Prosecutor Dobson or others who might have opposed Issue 3, I too felt the law was badly written, but it was a start for Ohio to embrace the inevitabe future.
That future WILL see both medical AND recreational use of marijuana come to every city, and every state, including Perrysburg, whether you yourself or those who support your proposed ban like it or not. Let me repeat, medical marijuana WILL come to Perrysburg one day even if your ban becomes law. It is such a shame that you are even proposing this when others choose the opposite and prosper as a result. Wake up and see reality. Legalization and the distribution, cultivation, and selling of medical and recreational marijuana are coming to Perrysburg one day, regardless of the council's proposed ban. It is just sad, but at least I know I am right, and I stand with the other municpalities and states that have embraced FULL legalization and prosper as a result, both the patients and citizens.
I encourage you to wake up and realize legalization is inevitable nationwide and around the world, Canada is slated for next year alone, and MI has not only medical, but is once again collecting signatures for recreational use for next year as well. Perrysburg City Council needs to wake up and get their heads out of the sand. Perhaps the police who favor the ban as well. Legalization is coming, Perrysburg. Pass all the bans you want, but one day, those bans will be eliminated, and legalization will ensue.
Please consider checking out norml.org,, mpp.org, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), the Marijuana Majority, and all of us who are fighting every hour,, every single day, to legalize in every city, in every state. I see the inevitable future, Director Henderson, and I encourage you to do the same.
Thank you,
Wish to remain an anonymous citizen

Latest Boise Weekly
This is last week's illustration for "The Boise Weekly". The article deals with how media consolidation is forcing beat reporters out of work, leaving their beats (specifically local government offices and departments) to communicate with the public on their own (typically through web-based tools). I decided to focus on the scarce or extinct beat reporters themselves. Being a newspaper ex-pat myself, I can sympathize with the difficulties within the field. The archaeologist is based on Howard Carter, the man who discovered Tutankhamen's tomb.
To date, this is probably my favorite Boise Weekly illustration. Aesthetically, it's in a style I've been working on lately (one between cartoonish exaggeration and a more graphic novel-style approach). I even like the drawing itself, which is very rare. Overall, it was a fun and exciting assignment.
1 comment:
I really like this one. I also think that the skeleton is reminiscent of Victor Frankenstein in his coffin. Great job!

Jkaptive is a simple captive portal without RADIUS (and thus without total security, but at the same time without too much hassle). The reason behind this is because a lot of site administrators don't need tight security; their site is just a café that offers free Internet access on an unsecured WLAN access point connected to the Internet, and they need a ticketing system to make it cumbersome for average people to use this offering without actually buying a single coffee. Jkaptive itself just presents the login page and checks the token. The blocking of unticketed traffic is done through Linux' netfilter. As no proxy server is involved, jkaptive has no performance penalty, nor does it create problems with non-HTTP traffic. Once the token is accepted, jkaptive is out of the way of any network packets completely. For presenting the login page, jkaptive has a built-in Web server, so no additional Web server application is needed.

How London and other British cities were built up (literally) after the war by a new breed of smart, canny speculators and developers is the subject of this brilliant book, the subject of this month's Bricks & Words. Towers, shopping centres, offices are all covered, in the capital and elsewhere, with key chapters on the late Harry Hyams (mastermind of Centre Point), Joe Levy and more. If you care remotely about why London looks the way it does today, read on…
This is the inside story of the post-war commercial property market in Britain but with a firm focus on London. It covers all the major deals, including the Hilton on Park Lane, the Euston Centre and Elephant & Castle, as well as the Bull Ring in Birmingham. Exactly how the developers found the road to riches is explained in detail, as is the secrecy under which the prevailing legislation allowed them to operate. The 1989 reprint adds a retrospective commentary by Marriott, a former journalist and now board member of investment company Shaftesbury. As forensic as a lawyer's brief, as gripping as a thriller, it's indispensable.
'The Property Boom' by Oliver Marriott (H. Hamilton, 1967; reprinted with new introduction, 1989)
Chris is one of more than a dozen specialists whose essays fill this fresh examination of the charms of Paris, which is edited by John Flower. Looking at the French capital's history, culture and districts, each item can be read in just half a minute and is beautifully illustrated with its own collage-style spread.

Long-Term Performance of Enhanced Anaerobic Bioremediation and the Occurrence of Sustained Treatment at Chlorinated Solvent Sites
Burcham, Mike
Bedient, Philip B.
Master of Science
The objective of this research was to evaluate the long-term performance of enhanced anaerobic bioremediation (EAB) at chlorinated solvent sites and the occurrence of sustained treatment following EAB. A database of groundwater concentration versus time records was compiled for 25 sites with at least three years of post-treatment data. The median post-treatment monitoring period for these sites was 5.2 years, with a maximum of 11.7 years. Long-term performance was evaluated based on concentration changes from before treatment to the final year of post-treatment monitoring. Results indicate that the median concentration reduction for all 25 sites was approximately 80%, just under 1 order of magnitude. Sustained treatment, where concentrations remain suppressed after ceasing active treatment, was evaluated using a lines-of-evidence approach including analysis of rebound, statistical concentration trends after treatment, and decay rates from before and after treatment. Results indicate that sustained treatment is occurring at a majority of the sites.

Looking for Military Schools or Boot Camps for Troubled Boys in Tupelo, Mississippi?
While you search for military schools or boot camps in Tupelo, Mississippi, perhaps you will look at a residential program for boys that offers better results, without the drill sergeant and harshness of a boot camp or military school. In fact, he will really like it here while he gets back on track in life.
Treasure Coast Boys Academy, located near Vero Beach, Florida, is a residential program and school specifically designed for at-risk boys. It is part of the nationally acclaimed Teen Challenge program. Instead of the harsh environment of military schools and boot camps, Treasure Coast Boys Academy shows boys the right way to live through example, lessons, counsel, mentoring and team exercises. Also, removing distractions and detaching from problematic situations is what helps to open the door to break destructive patterns of behavior. Unlike military schools and boot camps you may find near Tupelo, MS, we believe that relationships are what make a long-term difference in a boy, not more anger, yelling and force.
Families register their sons at Treasure Coast Boys Academy from around the country, including from Tupelo, Mississippi, both to let them spend time in a new environment and to experience the loving and fun environment they find here. Enrollment is year-round.
You are Seeking for Military Schools or Boot Camps in Tupelo, Mississippi Because You Likely See these Troublesome Signs that Something is Wrong with Your Boy's Behavior:
- Profound changes in his style of clothes, hair, and music
- Hanging out with a bad crowd (a different crowd than they used to)
- Falling grades and disinterst in things he was once interested in
- Isolating from family and clinging to new friends
- Negative changes in attitude and personality
- Changes in sleep patterns (up all hours of the night, sleeping during the day)
- Eating way too much food, or way too little, or binging at night
- Paranoia – thinks everyone in authority is out to get him
- Dilated, red or glazed eyes
- Outbursts of anger
- Deception and cover-ups!
- Major mood swings
- Uncontrolled spending or money from the home disappearing.
Treasure Coast Boys Academy enrolls 50 teenage boys at our residential boarding school on a 30-acre parcel in working ranches and orchards. During our program, we work to develop character, integrity, hard work, and respect. We promote an environment of positive peer pressure. Boys learn through work projects, designed to teach them a work ethic and how to manage their own time and resources. We want to see residents mature in their faith in Christ, and we provide worship, chapel services, bible studies, discipleship, retreats and mission trip opportunities toward that end. Boys also stretch and support each other in their faith. Would any of that happen in a military school or boot camp? That's unlikely.
A Better Option than Military Schools and Boot Camps for Boys from Tupelo, MS
At Treasure Coast Boys Academy, we keep boys physically active and challenged. Our recreational and sports facilities include a well-equipped gym and a professional array of weight machines, soccer field, baseball diamond, basketball court, pool, game room, fishing ponds, and horses. We often go fishing on the Florida waterways and out in the ocean. The highlight of the program is a breathtaking wilderness experience in the mountains of North Carolina during the last month of the boys' stay. Whitewater rafting, hiking, camping, and other adventures demonstrate that life can be simultaneously adventuresome and constructive.
While we offer individual, group, and family counseling in traditional settings, we find that most life-changing experiences tend to occur during outdoor activities and during ordinary situations. Counseling takes place frequently during the day, in all settings, through conversations and mentoring during activities and group settings. We place great importance on mentorship, providing the boys with positive male role models during their enrollment with us.
Our on-campus academy is in session year-round to give boys the opportunity to fulfill any missed credits. We have on-campus teachers who facilitate the boy's education and tutor individual boys. Boys from Tupelo, Mississippi quickly catch up on missed coursework or work ahead.
— understanding that Jesus Christ has a purpose and a plan for each individual's life. Through biblical studies, engaging chapel services, the daily discipline of chores, and regular attendance in our private school, Treasure Coast Boys Academy offers a once troubled teenage boy a second chance at a promising future. Again, unlike military schools and boot camps, our emphasis and main tool is a change of heart, not fear or breaking of the spirit.
"At Treasure Coast Boys Academy…our son received love, discipline, forgiveness, and persistent mentoring from dedicated staff members. This was a God-send for our broken family…restoring our relationship with our son. It is a place of hope, a place of love, and a place of renewal." — Parents of a Treasure Coast Boys Academy students share heartfelt gratitude for the transformation they witnessed in their son.
To hear more of what parents and students are saying, and to find out more about how our boys ranch can offer restoration in your family, we invite you to read our website, then use our inquiry form or call us today.

Three Cheers for the SFCDA & Keep Those Photos Coming
The photos are also being used as evidence in a suit filed by the Taxi Paratransit Association of California (TPAC) against the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) violation of the California Environmental Protection Act (CEQA).
Barry Korengold says,
"This data base has been an invaluable tool in our efforts to demonstrate the number of these vehicles and the negative impact that they've had on the environment."
Unfortunately, many drivers have recently eased off in sending in the photos. I confess to being the worst. I mean, it's a pain in the ass to keep the camera always ready to shoot whenever these miscreants turn up ... and they turn up endlessly. Cab driving is exhausting anyway. But there are more and more "S.H.I.T.S."(Smartphone Hailable Illegal Taxi Services) out there. There are an estimated five or six thousand active "tncs" woking every weekend and we need to document that fact.
The photos also help environmentalists understand that rather than taking cars off the road they are actually creating congestion and greenhouse gases.
So please keep the photos coming. For those of you who are new at shooting evil, contact Trevor Johnson at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how to upload the photos properly.
The important thing is to capture both the license plate and the symbol in the same shot – be it the pink mustache, the Uber U, the Sidecar sock or whatever.
I think it's past time to give the SFCDA the credit that they deserve. In my 30 years in the cab business I've belonged to or dealt with several cab driver organizations and the SFDCA has been by far the most effective and the most persistent of them all. They've fought for the cab drivers at the SFMTA, at the CPUC and now at the State Legislature.
So I want to give special thanks to Barry Korengold, Trevor Johnson, Jeffery Rosen, Francoise Spiegleman, Jam Khajvandi, the late Tori Lansdown and the rest for all the work they've done over the years without getting paid for it.
Three cheers! If we're still in the game we owe it to you guys.

Uber's Phony Surcharges or the Trickery of Travis
- It's illegal for them to drop at the airport.
- An airport fee is for picking up at the airport.
- Uber failed to inform the customer that there was going to be a surcharge.
Therefore, Travis as in travesty, when are you going to pony up?
Just as interesting is your $1.00 safety fee. Is this to protect the customers from your drivers?
- Like from the one in NYC?
- Or the one in Washington D.C?
- Or the one who needed the 5 star rating?
- Or ... I could go on
Are you going to take care of that stuff, Travis? Is that what that one dollar is for?
Let me emphasize that last paragraph,
"In the email, Kalanick blamed the media for thinking that Uber is 'somehow liable for these incidents that aren't even real in the first place.' Kalanick also stressed that Uber needs to 'make sure these writers don't come away thinking we are responsible even when these things do go bad.'"
