Hmm. I use Let's Encrypt, which I don't believe has Symantec in its trust chain. So I think I for one am OK, but thanks for mentioning it.

Are darts really a big thing in the UK compared to the US? I saw a commercial a couple weeks ago about a darts competition that was airing on BBC America; packed stadium with energy.

Not sure they are any more, but you still see dart boards in pubs. I guess since it used to be so popular there's still a big niche audience but it's nowhere near as popular from my experience.

I find this somewhat troubling.

What's wrong with that? I don't know the in-depth economics of the drinks market, but I'd love for them to become more of a thing.

There's a brand named Canna Cola that sells weed drinks for medical users in legalized US states. Those drinks look pretty neat, I'd definitely try them if I could.

Well, we have a certain problem with alcohol as a country. It's a battle to even keep people from drinking and driving. I don't really want the same dynamic to replicate itself with another drug. Although I guess it already has, albeit only among those willing to try something illegal from the black market, so we don't hear as much about it.

i'd pick a high driver over a drunk driver any day. among the positives of legalizing and regulating weed is that it won't be treated as the must-not-be-named spooky drug that needs to be simply discouraged at all costs and instead we can start educating kids about it the same way most schools teach responsibility with alcohol.

Yeah, when you're drunk, your coordination is impaired but you don't feel like it is, which results in you taking a regular step forward and somehow tripping, starting a chain reaction of mysteriously failing to do what you would normally instinctually do to recover, and then falling off a cliff. When you're high, your coordination is actually fine more or less, but you feel impaired, which results in you not being sure how, while feeling like your head is a balloon and your limbs are rubber tree trunks, you apparently just flawlessly climbed that jungle gym and hopped across those slippery river stones. If the driver is both high and drunk off some cannabis alcohol, they'll at least be impaired and feel it too!

Or maybe the driver shouldn't drink and drive to begin with!?

WOW are you really smart? Can you help me diagnose my PC Mac? I downloaded an Adobe Animate from thegovernmentbay and I got a third kidney

[NyaNyaLily]

Okay I help you.
First steps first, download McAffee Antivirus to make sure you're computer is well-secured and optimized before taking any further step.

I wouldn't mind trying a weed alcohol drink but I can bet like normal alcohol does to me now it'd probably wipe me out after one. Yay antidepressants.

I think it's pretty cool! Tried some edibles when I was in Seattle and I was impressed by the price and quality, so I'm curious about this.

As for the risks of increased consumption, just like Keane I'm not too worried about it. A major appeal of cannabis is its illegality, as shown by the fact that people smoke more in France than Holland (well, that picture is a good ten years old but you get the idea).

And as concerns driving... well obviously you shouldn't drink and drive or smoke and drive. I remember driving high as fuck once and I was very careful (probably because I was aware of my condition), but I'm sure the reactions vary among people. I don't recommend it anyway.

If people were smart enough not to drink when they need to drive a car it wouldn't happen.

[PluMGMK]

Unfortunately they're not.
