You seize sixteen tons.
What do you get?
Some big watermelons in your L-E-O net.
St. Peter, don't you call 'em 'cause they can't go.
They owe their soul to the cartel store.
It’s a short story from a paperback collection of his early pulp fiction. It’s been too many decades since I read it. I don’t remember the title.
Brave aggregator gives:
"One initiative, based in the United States, is dedicated to integrating medical cannabis into mainstream healthcare for seniors aged 65 and older. This project, founded by entrepreneur and philanthropist Howard Kessler, aims to make cannabinoid-based therapies (CBTs) safe and accessible for the aging population by developing evidence-based treatment protocols and collaborating with healthcare providers, research institutions, and payors. The project has established pilot programs in senior living facilities in Florida and New York, with one study reporting that over 80% of participants showed a positive impact from medical cannabis use, and nearly three-quarters found it more cost-effective than prescription drugs. The project is also working to establish a federal program to accelerate the approval of CBT treatment protocols for older adults and to designate adults 65+ as a federally protected class for medical cannabis access. Dr. Benjamin Caplan, a board-certified family medicine physician and leading expert in cannabis medicine, serves as the Chief Medical Officer, guiding the project's clinical and research efforts"
Something on Howard Kessler. (There are a number) He and wife live in Palm Beach. He has or has suffered from cancer.

(Something legalized dispensaries do provide.)

I am just going to say that I am not entirely comfortable on this. CBD oil might be perfectly good, but also used by the THC side as a trojan horse to expand use of "Recreational" THC which is not good.
There are more different types of trees in Florida than there are ways to cook shrimp. The flat land is boring but there’s always Mt. Dora and it’s 167 foot elevation.

Pete, those are my sentiments exactly.
I would like to know who got President Trump interested in this, and what he thinks of the topic...

There are three “genders”.
It's a good start.
is this a crisis or the reset America needs?
I don't see how it could be a crisis. If any valid "work" is being done....80% of the work is being done by 20% of the people. Then the only work being done by the drones is at campaign time where they are paid by you to work for the RATs.
And take into account all of the "work from home" shlubs and the "no-show" jobs.
