Spring is Bringing Rain, Floods and CBD Oil

I don’t think it’s a secret a good number of Americans have pushed for the legalization of marijuana for quite some time.

During my college (state university) days, one could sit in the student union working on homework and detecting the smell of pot wafting through the student union. That was many many days ago. Yet in spite of what appeared to be at the time a desire by the American people to use pot, there continued to be draconian laws penalizing anyone caught smoking or possessing marijuana.

Many lives have been ruined by the enforcement of these laws.

States are now legalizing (mostly via referendum) the usage of pot. Some of the laws only allow for some sort of medical use and others are making recreational use legal. States are moving in this direction, even though the federal government continues to be against any law liberalizing pot usage. 

I have often thought how could a government of the people on the federal level get it so wrong. The government and its various agencies continue to harass the very people who put it in power. State governments see the handwriting on the wall and are bending to the will of the people.

Now moving on to a product many folks believe is related to marijuana … CBD Oil (a dietary supplement) is taking the country by storm. Americans (young to old) rushing to use CDB oil for all kinds of reasons.

I can’t give you specific cites, but going from memory as the news articles fly by … CBD oil is becoming an ingredient in many products … I see it offered up in jelly beans, alcohol products, etc. The American people want it so badly that they are rushing to purchase products with the oil being a necessary ingredient. Plus, they’re even buying the oil and taking it straight. Imagine that? LOL

Maybe, it’s good for you, then again perhaps it's not. It kind of reminds me of watching old westerns where they feature a medicine man coming into town offering up a product that cures everything. As it stands now, the CBD medicine man acts a lot in the same way.

Be that as it may …

What we are seeing is that the American people want marijuana & CBD Oil so intensely they are running and jumping to the arms of anyone who satisfies this need and desire.

Hey, you government folks who think you are supposed to control our lives and force us to do what you think we should be doing … 

We, the people are doing what we want to do, NOT what you think is best. FREEDOM is something you should read up on.

SO BACK OFF!!!

Hospitals, Hospitals & MORE Hospitals

Finished reading an article regarding a new medical research center being built by “Children’s Mercy Hospital” in Kansas City, MO. It’s going to be a beautiful building & one of architectural significance from the looks of it. I dare say that it most likely will be pretty expensive to build . Having not too long ago moved back to Kansas City from Houston … there, they are building new architecturally significant hospitals right & left … there appears to be no end in sight as to the building spree. I am not sure there is any more room left in the Houston Medical Center District. Some of my reading has implied that these facilities are of a high tech nature with all the bells & whistles necessary to deliver state of the art medical care to a generation of folks who are demanding such services. I can’t help but believe that all of this will ultimately be reflected in higher health care costs to us the end user. Our insurance rates in reality go up significantly e...

Net vs Brick-and-Mortar

A market battle is raging NOW between brick-and-mortar stores (Walmart) & the net (Amazon). I suppose the perception is such that an internet store can do it better, have a broader selection & be more responsive to the needs of the consumer. It’s possible that the internet store is more convenient & easier to use. Plus, maybe less expensive. The struggle for the internet store is that they have to figure out how to get the product to the end user …. the “last mile” they would say. Shipping costs can be significant. I recall not too long ago, planning on purchasing a product, where it was being offered something like this … “Buy 1, Get 2nd FREE”, the only thing needed to pay on the second one was shipping & handling. The free turned out not to be so free, therefore I couldn’t even buy the first one because of the shipping/handling cost. The collection of sales taxes used to be a big deal, but that is quickly disappearing as an issue & the playi...

We REALLY Ought to Talk With Each Other

more than we do. It is hoped that we at least have heart to heart conversations with those close @ hand, but even then all kinds of emotional feelings stand in the way of truly communicating … thus very little progress is made in understanding the struggles & needs of another. Coincidentally, I was made aware of the plight of a family in our community. I have been so caught up in my own struggles that I hadn’t even bothered to give thought to others that may be going through similar stresses. As of late, ALL I have been able to focus on has been my problems, my concerns & my needs. SO, WE should TALK more (with everyone) ... & perhaps WE should LISTEN & Truly Care , but WHAT THEN??? Actually, I don’t really know “WHAT THEN?” I will say this. As result of the above knowledge, I don’t feel so alone … I don’t feel so desperate & above all else I am not quite as focused on me me me. Who knows how this will effect my actions tomorrow, BUT … I’m sensing tha...
