Educate me...

 
A few days ago, the subject of CBD (Cannabidiol) came up on another blog site.  To be honest, I had never heard of CBD before; or if I did, it didn’t register with me.  I know that must be hard for some to believe, but I’m not, nor have I ever been into, or around, recreational drugs.  I have nothing against them as long as used responsibly (doesn’t endanger others).  Unless I heard wrong, recreational marijuana is supposed to be on the Ohio ballot this year.  If so, as an Ohio voter, I will vote to legalize it.  If booze can be legal, so can marijuana, IMO.

Anyway, back to CBD, I’ve been researching it a bit.  But rather than clicking on potentially nefarious commercial links in the wide world of search engine Ad Marketing, I’m looking for some “street smarts education” here.  I want to hear what all you others have to say about CBD, straight from the (my fellow bloggers) horse’s mouth’s, before I try to buy some.  How do you feel about it?  If you are familiar with CBD, what should I look out for and why?

Probably the first question you’d have for me is what do I want it to do?  Well, to help me sleep better for one thing.  Relieve the occasional aches and pains of senior citizen hood for another (I'm 72).  I don’t want to have to get addicted to something unless being addicted to “not having any pain” counts. ;)  I don’t want to hallucinate or get high from it.  I don’t want to ruin my lungs with smoke, so forget that (either want gummies or capsule form).  What’s the right dosage for beginning users?  If you've used it or know someone who has, did CBD give you/them any bad side effects?  Have you ever heard of it being dangerous or harmful to the body?  Will it interfere with my nightly vice of wine drinking (2 glasses of Cab)?  Now that, I’m addicted to. ;)

Go ahead, advocate (and send a link if possible) for your favorite brand.  I will consider it if/when I buy some.

Thanks for posting and recommending (literally).

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
