Sorry, good concerned person, I am going to disagree. We need to have faith in people to engage in conversation and figure out, "Oh wait, I am being hoodwinked." I don't care whether they are being manipulated because corporate media is manipulating us constantly.
Once we get into dangerous ideas of how we should regulate free speech, whether funded by outside organizations or not, then that is when we are no different than them.

I would assume that it's from people thinking "why not just read the article and find out?". But I wasn't actually asking, and was instead just trying to point out the ambiguous title.

Seriously. Remember the last big powerball drawing not even two months ago? They postponed the drawing for almost a full day because of an error with one state's lottery system being out of sync.
Any possible irregularities will launch so, so many lawsuits. They run an extremely tight ship to prevent that nightmare scenario.

Don't know why you're being downvoted, this is an objective viewpoint to have and a sane approach to the issue of Marijuana health benefits, downsides, etc.
And I support legalization.

Not necessarily. If these are authentic beliefs based on correct information, then sure, even bad opinions are part of Western democracy. OTOH, if these are based on foreign disinformation, governments need to do a better job shutting that down. And the organizers themselves should have a counter-intelligence investigation done on them, because some of them are literally paid by the Russian government.
​
A US based example is Wyatt Reed, who is funded by the Russian government's Sputnik news, and "coincidentally" spoke against support for Ukraine at an "anti-war" rally. People have a right to express their opinions, but they don't have a right to engage in psychological warfare on behalf of foreign powers.

For me, it's not anti-Biden so much as anti-war.

You don’t have to buy anything. I’m literally explaining why they do it lol
Not all states have that rule but some do and this is why. Google lottery fraud sometime and read about the many, many times it’s happened.
Edit: lmao, okay bro. Downvote me because you don’t “buy” a state law and the stated reason for having it. Are you saying lottery fraud having been perpetuated in the past is not the reason some states have that law? Or that lottery fraud has never happened? Either way.. 🙄😂😂

Full disclosure...was at the local dispensary the other day and the 'seemingly' knowledgeable sales associate was telling me that edibles high in THCV had a 'focusing' effect ad that users had told him that they had actually given up use of adderall. So, lot's of hearsay. This store is pretty particular about the brands they carry and this particular edible was made by a brand called Garden Society. Here in California...the whole bag was $16.

I don't buy that argument. I live in an anonymous state and have never heard a single person wonder about the legitimacy of the lottery. IMO it does more harm than good.
Of course there are anomalies like McDonald's, but that doesn't outweigh the burden it places on the winners.

Smart moves on Biden then. The more he can get the far-right to outwardly be Pro-Russian, the more they push Independents (who are largely anti-Russia) and even some moderate Republicans towards backing Biden.
Such a dumb wedge topic for R’s to get behind.

You keep linking this study and making claims without understanding 1) The effect size was small and couldn't be isolated from confounding factors and 2) BP is not the same as cardiovascular disease.
