Another reason pot should not be legalized except for actual, real, bonafide medical usages. Yes, I know some of you will yowl about this, but from the perspective of a 1970s pothead, there is NO good recreational use of marijuana. And before you compare it to alcohol, read the FACTS: people typically do not drink alcohol to get drunk; they drink it because the like the taste. People smoke pot to get loaded -- it has nothing to do with just the taste . . . Indoor Marijuana Ops Are Consuming a Staggering Amount of Energy Indoor marijuana growing operations in the U.S. use more energy than all outdoor agriculture combined. ​ The high energy consumption is due to lighting, temperature control, and the current legal framework requiring in-state production. Despite awareness of the issue, no significant action has been taken to reduce the marijuana industry's energy footprint.​ https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Indoor-Marijuana-Ops-Are-Consuming-a-Staggering-Amount-of-Energy.html

Get out of the sweet-drink habit. It takes about a month. Try plain green tea, or sparkling water. Scientists Quantified The Harm of Sugary Drinks, And It's Devastating: https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-quantified-the-harm-of-sugary-drinks-and-its-devastating

Sugary drinks are a major contributor to chronic health issues. A new study from Tufts University in Boston suggests that approximately one in 10 new cases of Type 2 diabetes and one in 30 new cases of cardiovascular disease are linked to sugary drinks. They found that from 1990 to 2020, sugary drinks caused 5 percent of all Type 2 diabetes deaths and 2 percent of all cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/sugary-drinks-linked-millions-new-diabetes-and-heart-disease-cases

The new analysis, published in JAMA Pediatrics on Monday, found that fluoride exposure exceeding 1.5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) was associated with reduced intelligence among children. The study, conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP), took nine years to complete and is the largest meta-analysis to date on the health effects of fluoride. The studies reviewed measured fluoride levels in drinking water and in urine. The authors used urinary fluoride as a proxy for total fluoride exposure. Among the 74 reviewed studies, 64 found that higher levels of fluoride exposure were linked to lower IQ in children. The strength of this association is considered moderate to large. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/conspiracy-fact-higher-fluoride-levels-linked-lower-iq-scores-children-new-review-finds

The government is gearing up to encourage, or even mandate, poultry and dairy farmers and their workers, and maybe even cattle ranchers as well, to be vaccinated. Of course, all hospital and medical care professionals will be mandated to comply. The elderly and immunocompromised will also be encouraged to vaccinate against the HIGHLY PATHOGENIC (to birds) avian flu. NOTE: there has not been 1 case of human to human transmission -- NOT ONE. Now even if you've woke up and refuse this one, there is still the probability that mRNA vaccines will be given to all cattle so if you want to continue to consume beef and drink milk SAFELY, find a local farmer . . . https://lumennews14.substack.com/p/bird-flu-fearmongering-as-cdc-finds

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to announce a decision in the next few weeks on whether to revoke approval for the dangerous artificial food color Red Dye No. 3 (Red 3) due to its allegedly carcinogenic properties. There is a resounding demand from consumer advocacy groups and lawmakers for federal regulators to ban the use of Red 3, a dye that infuses popular candies, foods, and drinks with bright red colors. Synthetic dyes became available in the 1900s. Early artificial colors were called “coal-tar” colors because the base materials were derived from bituminous coal. Today, most synthetic coloring comes from petroleum or crude oil. https://activistpost.com/2024/12/why-are-we-feeding-our-children-food-made-from-petroleum.html

Scientists have uncovered a new chemical compound lurking in U.S. drinking water, potentially exposing one in five Americans to an unidentified health risk. Researchers at the University of Arkansas have identified chloronitramide anion, a previously unknown byproduct of water disinfection that could have implications for public health, according to a new study published Thursday in Science. The newly identified compound, chloronitramide anion (chemically expressed as Cl–N–NO2−), is an end product of inorganic chloramine decomposition. ​While its toxicity remains unknown, researchers are concerned about its prevalence and similarity to other toxic compounds https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/researchers-find-unknown-chemical-drinking-water-posing-potential-human-health-concern

Canada should follow the U.S. lead in removing fluoride from drinking water! President-elect Trump’s appointment of Robert F.
