I was in hospital two years ago with a broken arm (at 72). First I was nabbed for bringing my two prescription meds along (I honestly didn't know better). Then I was Indicted and charged with getting off the bed and standing next to it; the bed was wired with an alarm because they had labeled me a "Fall Risk."

I'm a gonna just die rather than go to a hospital again.

Here's the nurse-splainer: Who do you think gets punished when a non-compliant patient falls and breaks a hip in a hospital room? Or when a patient takes a bunch of contraband meds and has to have their stomach pumped b/c it interacted with their hospital meds?? Hint: it's not the patient, since they obviously already know everything. THE NURSE PAYS THE PRICE.

This: "any medical marijuana law would need to be narrowly tailored so people wouldn't sneakily enjoy weed" is the truth. I lived in the Sunflower State for 13 years, and it was a heavy lift to neuter alcohol prohibition in the 1980s-90s. (The state constitution prohibits "open saloons": sorry, Miss Kitty.)

Kansas doesn't do it. I've lived in states with ballot initiatives (Arkansas and California), and it's a mixed bag. In the former, there was an attempt to abolish all property taxes (see Stilley, Oscar). In the latter, it was Prop 8, AKA Prop Hate (see Fundamentalism, Toxic).

I don't blame her. I hope she's getting plenty of palliative care.

He could make the argument that vaping doesn't produce a flame.

It's the same with an automatic transmission: select R to go backwards, D to go forward!
