Great post. It'd be nice if both corporations AND unions were explictly banned from participating in elections, but something in me thinks that the OP is just interested in getting right-wing causes defunded. I'm very far to the left, but I hate unions just as much as corporations, and both need to be systematically banned from anything political.

Do you prefer the original Starcraft or the new one?

I loved the first one, could never really get into SCII. As a protoss, the lack of Dark Templar and Dark Archons really annoyed me. No mind control makes me sad, especially in large team games. Curious to know what others think, as there's nobody playing the original game anymore on Battlenet.

Speak them, and listen to them.

Source: Competent in 2 languages (Spanish and Portuguese), native of English, conversational in another (German), can understand Mandarin (father is fluent, and I grew up speaking it with him), can also understand some Italian (Italian family) and French (because after speaking 2 romance languages and being able to understand another, the fourth just comes naturally). I also know a little Japanese, and a few words in Arabic.

Hi Dr. Gupta,

Thanks for doing this! Three questions:

  1. What are your views on the "gateway drug" theory for recreational marijuana use? Have you found anything in your research that can either confirm or deny its validity?

  2. Besides marijuana being federally legalized, what else needs to happen so that people who seriously need medical marijuana can have their insurance pay for part of it?

  3. Have you researched other cannabinoids, or primarily just CBD and THC? If the answer is yes, what are your thoughts on the potential of THCV for medicinal purposes?
