By Yves Smith A couple of years ago, when Lambert would talk about professional pundits and official Democratic spokescritters behaving as if they were trying to stoke civil war in the US, I thought he’d been spending too much time on Twitter and might benefit from a dose […]
This is actually a good thing. These drugs are mostly less dangerous than alcohol, both to self and others. Katie Camero, Miami Herald College students smoke weed; it’s all in the data. But now a new study shows they are lighting up at the highest recorded levels since […]
