Tears streamed down Claudia Jendron's face this year as her doctor patted her hand and told her, after eight years of failed pain treatments for her spinal fusion-gone-wrong, "This is going to work, Claudia." She was talking about medical marijuana.For “eight years of hell,” Jendron tried opioids, epidural shots and acupuncture in the hopes that she’d be able to sit down or go to her grandchildren’s birthday parties without having to leave and lie down. None of it worked. At one point, she considered checking into an assisted living facility to receive morphine before she tried medical marijuana. Then, early this year, the ...

Congratulations! If you’re reading this, you are among the next generation that could see cannabis legalized across the United States since it was legally demonized in the 1920s. Already 26 states, plus the District of Columbia, have legalized medical or recreational marijuana in some form, with nine of those having gone ‘full rec.’ Perhaps more awe-inspiring, you’ll also likely see the entire nation of Canada legalize recreational cannabis next year. But hold it there, son: You might be among the lucky gen that enjoys legal weed, but you are likely far from properly enlightened about the myths swirling inside The Great Weed Debate.

In 2016, 6.5 percent of adolescents used marijuana on a monthly basis, according to the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health — the lowest figure since 1994. The numbers continue the trend of fewer and fewer teen marijuana users, despite legalization. “This means that approximately 1.6 million adolescents used marijuana in the past month. ...

Veterans returned to the U.S. after fighting in the jungles of Vietnam a half century ago, but hundreds of them may be dying from a silent bullet — a slow-killing parasite living in the men decades after the war, a new study revealed. Liver flukes, parasites that infect a human when raw or undercooked fish is eaten, are being investigated as the cause of a rare bile duct cancer among veterans who served in the Vietnam War. It could take years for symptoms to show up, but when they do, the host is left with tremendous pain and given just a few months to live. The Department of Veterans Affairs this spring commissioned a small pilot study to look into the link between liver flukes and ...

After being shrugged off by the school, Sims decided that she would take matters into her own hands and catch her 9-year-old daughter’s ...

Kennedy’s assassination, there was a struggle inside CBS News about whether to allow the critics a fair public hearing at the then-dominant news network. Some CBS producers pushed for a debate between believers and doubters and one even submitted a proposal to put the Warren Report “on trial,” according to internal CBS ...

Card games have been around for a long time. They’ve existed in various forms for a millennium, having been invented in the Far East. From there, they came West with trading, and in the 1400s the French solidified the 52-card deck and the four suits — spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds — that we use today. While different cultures and nations use different sets of cards, that system is the most widely used around the world. For literally centuries now, friends, families, and strangers have convened around bar tops, campfires, and dining room tables to play friendly and perhaps not-so-friendly games of cards.The Appeal (and Manliness) of Card Games What is it that makes ...

For some reason, the nausea and vomiting of CHS can be relieved with hot showers or baths, which can serve as an important hint for physicians trying to diagnose a patient. The condition is especially puzzling considering cannabis’ accepted reputation ...

On October 6, 2016, Bowers’ family called 911 because Bowers, who they say has a history of mental illness, was having an episode and began behaving erratically and making threats, ...

But we can still celebrate, mourn, and offer thanksgiving for his courageous witness. ...
