From Lush's membership selling perspective I can understand the Gold Lounge, but from a member's perspective, gold or otherwise, I don't get it. Maybe I'm just not snob enough.

You recently copied a whole NYT article into a Lush thread. That's not plagiarism, since you didn't claim it was yours, but it's at least a copyright infringement. How stellar is that?

The City of Vancouver released new overdose numbers Friday that reflect a grim and escalating crisis. So far this year, 170 lives have been lost in Vancouver because of opioids. That adds up to 400 deaths projected by year's end.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson pulled no punches in describing how dire the situation has become.

"The near-record number of drug overdose deaths in the fentanyl crisis is a bloodbath in all corners of Vancouver with no end in sight," Robertson said in a statement.

Drug policy advocates say Vancouver's new overdose numbers are a wake-up call for emergency measures to be implemented.

"It's really a disaster that's unfolding. It's a public policy failure of a great extent," said Don MacPherson with the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition.

MacPherson characterized the incremental expansion of treatment and harm reduction services as painfully slow.

"We need that emergency mentality and the creation of a workforce that can deliver these broadly-based interventions," he said. "And [then] we might begin to turn this around."

With all due respect, trinket (which I rarely if ever associate with) didn't advocate that cannabis is the primary cause of psychotic disorders or the root of all evil in this world; she merely mentioned a 'link' between marijuana and schizophrenia. And a myriad of recently published scientific papers actually support her claim.

And before anyone is tempted to dismiss all those findings as scientific falsification and/or conservative lobbying, please be advised that countless of similar reports have been published by completely unrelated health/scientific organizations all around the globe in recent years.

To date, all of the positive evidence supporting the use of medical marijuana in humans has come from studies of the entire plant or experimental investigations of THC. A recent study published in the Journal of Neuroscience (4 May 2016, 36(18): 5160-5169) has shown CBD has significant therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of schizophrenia. These scientists have also identified where CBD likely acts in the brains of schizophrenics, the nucleus accumbens (the brain’s primary pleasure center), and how it is able to produce effects similar to standard antipsychotic medications.

This discovery stands in stark contrast to previous claims that marijuana induces psychosis. Overall, today’s scientists are being more open-minded about the benefits of marijuana and are trying to bring less bias to their investigations. One recent study asked whether marijuana use was associated with an earlier age of onset for the first episode of schizophrenia. The researchers concluded that there was no significant relationship between the onset of illness and marijuana use that could not be accounted for by other demographic and clinical variables. Meaning, once again it is important to take notice of all of the other variables that contribute to developing psychosis.

if the interface changed a little, you could add more branding. Or even have a logo made or whatnot. I made a few to show you.

It wasn't deleted. It was moved. Check the strange/amusing pics section of the forums.

This thread is joining it.

Marijuana has been linked to schizophrenia and it is a fact that it can worsen symptoms.

Yes if someone is going to tell people (especially someone they know has anxiety problems) that marijuana can be helpful for depression/anxiety then I think they are an idiot.

I agree, why should we loose our votes, and comment. I agree that the accounts should be deleted but our views and comments should be saved.

I want to to thank everyone for the advice. We did talk and both decided that we both have relationship issues. He with 3 divorces and me with my one divorce. we both did agree that we allowed the relationship to change on its on but we both really like the "friends" relationship. Don't get me wrong the sex is out of this world. I know that he is afraid of getting hurt again and he doesn't want to hurt me. and Vice versa. So we are just "friends" but agree that we won't date any one else but each other. we know we love each other but we know that what we have can only be in distant that we will never touch or catch.

I don't want to look for anyone else I know where my heart lies and I am okay with just waiting. They say those who wait will win at the end. So I wait.

Thanks again.
