Definitely on the first part. Interesting assertion on the second part, one with a wealth of contrary evidence that we're not going to debate here.
You go with what works for ya on which data you choose to believe. We'll let the cancer and glaucoma patients go with theirs.
Cheers.
Because I can’t stay in my own lane… The way I read Tom’s reply, he was saying that it DOES have useful medical and health benefits. I don’t think that part was in regards to opioids. But maybe I read it wrong. Anyway… back to my lane…  Thank you for jumping into my lane as I was crashing (had already crashed?) into the wall. I completely misread and what you and nickys read is what it says.
It seems that, on that part, Tom and I are in complete agreement. And I even had sufficient coffee when posting, so can't blame that for my reading deficiency.
When I write something off-target, I do appreciate being slapped in the head, as appropriate.
Cheers.

Can't stand the smell of cigarettes or weed. Definitely not for me.

At the time pot was legalized in California, I worked for a company that did a fair bit of work with the federal government. Within a day they sent out an email indicating that, since this was still federally illegal, it was still considered a controlled substance for us. Very proactive, and on-target response.
Cheers.

Not a slap, I promise. Just me doing my nurse, service recovery, peacemaker thing. I’ve done it so for long, it is a physical effort on my part to mind my own business…  The only person I actually wanted to slap this week was a gastroenterologist who decided to have a toddler tantrum because I asked him to take a patient. I DID want to smack him!  Perhaps HE should be treated for for glaucoma… |

Nah, you had me confused that’s all. I thought you were questioning the evidence for medicinal properties, saw Mindy’s reply and realised you’d probably misread Tom’s post. No slapping intended. 😊 |

But maybe I read it wrong. Anyway… back to my lane…  Clarification...... Opiods as a recreational drug is bad. As a prescribed medicine is good. Opiod addiction and abuse is horrendous. Marijuana as a recreational drug is ok. As a medical use is good and research is on-going finding more medical benefits. Marijuana addiction is real, but not destructive as alcohol or opioids. One facility we designed last year was the only Federal approved research grow facility allowed to sell to all 50 states and Europe. They are not allowed to sell thier products for recreational use, only research. They are standardizing the industry for future research programs, because you need a "base" product that can use nationwide. |

There is a very good YouTube from a doctor that describes what happens to the brain with long term Marijuana use. It is very enlightening. Once I find his name I’ll repost. Need coffee at the moment……

I did not know about the last bit, but it does make sense to have a controlled baseline and to set aside some aspects of this for research into medical benefits as opposed to recreation al use.
Cheers.

Need coffee at the moment…… I've seen some of this, and it's interesting to say the least. It has to be long term pretty heavy use, though. Living in the Bay Area and having worked in the music scene, I know plenty of long term users. But it is casual use and has no impacts that can't be ascribed to the simple facts of aging that impact us all.
I don't actually know any long term heavy users (I mean, I likely do among the people I worked with in the rock field, but they're not people I'm in contact with). I do imagine that there are acquaintances who have not fared so well due to heavier use for a number of years.
Cheers.

Trust me, even relatively short term (several months) heavy use can do irreversible damage. I’ve seen it. Any type of drug (and all medicines are drugs) is unhealthy if used in excess. No judgement, just a public service announcement…  |

The “frat boys” were having yet another highly intellectual conversation in the doctors area, and I was tired of refocusing them. They’re good boys, but I was done for the week!  |

I was thinking about all the times all of us have made two (or more) reservations from two (or more) contracts to make one long vacation - and then suffered the fate of "not one long reservation" and the problems that brings with dining etc. If I were to transfer points from one contract into the other, I could have enough points to just simply make one continuous reservation. Am I seeing this right? Instead of making x-days on one contract, then y-days on another, all the points would be transferred into one contract and you would make a reservation for (x+y) days?
Now there does not seem to be an option for this on the web page, which is a shame, although I suspect 88% of owners wouldn't know how to use it properly without getting themselves into trouble.
But if I called, do they transfer points like that? I know one time I called and they just made two reservations, and after the call I said to myself, "That's stupid; I could have done that."

It's not contracts but memberships that you have to transfer for. I combine contracts all the time at 7 months (5 contracts, but 1 UY so only one membership). But if you have two memberships, then yes, transfer for one continuous stay. |

But if you have two memberships, then yes, transfer for one continuous stay. I have two contracts, or do I call them memberships? They are two different UY. What is the difference between the two? I guess I've always said "contracts" but maybe I'm saying it wrong. What would be the correct words I would say when calling MS? "Hello, I was hoping to transfer x-number of points from one contract into the other in order to have enough points to make a single long reservation" I want to do it myself, online...I wonder if I will ever see that day in my lifetime.

Perhaps HE should be treated for for glaucoma…
