fuckyeahdrugpolicy:
In 1974 researchers learned that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, shrank or destroyed brain tumors in test mice. But the DEA quickly shut down the study and destroyed its results, which were never replicated — until now.

My co-workers are trying to get me fat!
Okay, maybe not REALLY… but they do always give me food. Everyday. Something delicous. Banana bread. Cinnamon bread. Half of a sandwich. Chicken wrap. Cookies. Chocolates. A bag of chips.

I think society today, specifically the media, puts much too much emphasis on romantic love anyway. There are plenty of other kinds of love to fill your...
