Presumably Paulson would have had to do that in the past, working for the Reagans and all.

Don’t get why anti-cannabis people never talk about the actual, studied, psychological affects of cannabis. Depersonalization and all of those other lapses in mental health are documented and do genuine harm. The selling of spice also is very useful in showing that manufacturers could temper with the chemical makeup to save costs while retaining the look of cannabis, spice causes convulsions.

I was just reading the debate, thought of putting my two cents.

Dr. Edwards, my GOP congresswoman who endorsed Porter, brought up the paranoia on Twitter; and Prendy briefly mentioned harmful psychoactive effects in the debate.

That should be the argument, it’s good for manufacturing and the economy but the other negatives are too much of a burden. There are costs to mental issues as well, if looking through an economic standpoint.

I don't really have the time to do such lengthy analysis for the 538 thing rn and since the summer has mostly been calm for LA and KY, and nothing has happened for MS, the post will be more polls focused and less wordy.

I don't know why but the atmosphere around this debate feels a lot more convivial today, it's very pleasant.

They probably have the most strong and stable relationship in the RP despite the gulf of political differences between them.

Looking at you on that one, Eliza.

What's she doing in the Bahamas? She's meant to be in MAINE. Eating LOBSTER. Making PAPER. Making non-committal statements on Roe v. Wade. Such is the way of a Mainer Republican Senator.
