Yes, typically hybrid or indica-dominant strains of marijuana. I can dig up some receipts if you want more specifics.
Yes, in February 2023. Acute effects lasted roughly 4-5 days, consisting of strong fatigue, fever, coughing, runny nose, body aches. Fever died down in about three days, then the fatigue lasted a little while longer, maybe 14 days all told.

Speaking from the US, I've known some Catholic Workers Movement people here and there. There aren't many, but they mean well.
There's a church out in San Francisco called GLIDE that used to be a part of the UMC. They're certainly not revolutionary socialists, but they do some genuinely good work. They have one of the largest soup kitchens in the US, as far as I'm aware. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and give out literally hundreds of meals a day, every single day. They also do clean needle exchanges and quite a lot of other programs.

A colleague of mine is Lebanese and last week told me that they're (hopefully) going back to see their kids for a few weeks this summer. I tried to keep the conversation away from politics or current events, but they eventually made it clear to me that they are very anti-Hezbollah. Could you say anything about the general feeling in Lebanon towards Hezbollah?
This person is in the US and doing STEM, so that will definitely impact their perspective, but I'm curious what the broader opinion might be.

What makes people freak out about molotov ribbentrop is the agreement to partition states.

Made even "funnier" given that the Munich Agreement ALSO included a partition agreement: Germany got the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Truly just hypocrisy to single out the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact like they do

The framing of China and Chinese people as some puzzle or enigma to be figured out and analyzed is so bizarre. Some choice quotes:

The government reported 5.2% growth last year, which โ€” surprise, surprise โ€” was right at the target that they were aiming for. But there are economists that say the economy did not grow that fast. It was probably two or less than 2% even.

Lmao who are these economists? How many say that? Why do they say that? come the fuck on dude.

And while they were on the far side of the moon, their little lander hoisted a Chinese flag, which their media said was a first.

Ok well was it or was it not?? Also the condescension of "their little lander" like this jackass has ever landed anything on the moon.

There is unease with it, [though] when it comes to the government's use of data or collection of data, people are quite practical. There's zero that they can do about it. And so they get on with their lives. As you've seen, you go to any intersection in a city in China and there are 10, 20, 30 video cameras pointing in any given direction and an unknown number of other sensors that can pick up cell phone signals and analyze them.

Dawg, the NSA listens to literally every phone call made in the United States. Google and Zucc know more about me than I do.

There's still some reverence for the U.S. in a way as a country that is, first of all, richer than China on a per capita basis, and secondly, has freedoms that China doesn't have.

Just comical.
