Looking for some guidance for CBD. My wife has degenerative back issues and would like to try CBD to see if it would provide more relief than her pain medicine. I know several on here have had success and wonder if you could recommend a brand or website. Thanks in advance

Just typical political correctness and social justice warrior stuff. Don't mind them having them but they should not be mandatory.

While I agree that it definitely shouldn't be mandatory, at the same time I can't necessarily blame the university. Unfortunately, it is just a consequence of the overly sensitive quick to litigation times. If they don't do something like this then you can almost guarantee there will be a lawsuit from some social justice warrior cause accusing the university of not promoting an environment that is conducive to the cause.

Here's the link I believe Newt posted yesterday. I'm not sure which of the oils is best, I'd like to know myself.

BigNewt recommended this place.

They did mess up my order but were quick to make it right including calling me to work something out. I ordered the drops in maximum strength as Newt recommended, in goji berry flavor. I received the oral applicator which is super concentrated needing only one drop a day. Downside is it taste terrible. It us a much more expensive product. They let me keep it and sent me the 1 ounce bottle of what I initially ordered instead of the two ounce bottle. I thought this was more than fair.

Is it really the litigation nowadays or is it more the potentially bad PR??

This is true. They have to show they are doing their due diligence. Fact of the matter is, it won't reduce lawsuits. They'll still get sued at every turn. They won't present this in court because it will never get to court. I see it as more placating to the special interest groups. College campuses are the petri dish of liberalism. They want to start them off on the right track. :)

InVol...did you originally intend to order the CBD Oil or the raw Oil?

I wanted the normal drops. They accidentally shipped the super concentrate raw oil. It was like $150 for that product which was a lot more expensive. It goes a long g way though if you can stomach the taste.

There's a macroscopic issue people are missing here...

Freedom is important...

This is America... where you're allowed to have any and all the beliefs you want. You are also allowed to have ethical arguments, bible verses, logic, and any number of other things to back up your beliefs...

BUT...

... there's a point at which your abortion argument (that's generally split 50/50 nationwide) has to invariably supersede the other side before we're at a place this issue needs to be restrictively legislated into a law that takes an option away from any and all of the people.

Having the option, no matter how you skew the reasons for use (selfishness, punishment, financial hardships, irresponsibility, unpreparedness... whatever storyline you're painting)... is a double-edged sword. The same people arguing for anti-abortion are the same people arguing about the government's welfare system. Kids raised by impoverished irresponsible parents have a significantly steeper slope to climb to grow into productive members of society. All that set aside... once there is a law against it, it takes away the option.

Nobody is forcing women against their will to "murder" their babies. That is a choice a mother makes for whatever reasons she makes it. If you don't believe it to be an option, then nobody is forcing you to view it as one.

It's also a catalyst for stem cell research, which anti-abortionists like to paint as evil mad scientists playing God in a laboratory. It's not. My uncle had a rare form of cancer that was treated with stem cells and he's been in remission for 5 years now specifically due to that treatment. That "evil" research has helped a LOT of people, and there are a plethora of other applications they can be applied to that haven't been realized yet.

...Then there's the cutoff date/birth control thing... If you go far enough down that train of thought, condoms become murder... so yes, there is a point at which fertilization of an egg becomes a person, and "we", as a people, will never agree on precisely when that point is... so it's best to agree to disagree and let science determine a feasible point as a cutoff date.

It would do people well to mind their own damned business. I fully realize my opinion on this subject isn't the high road opinion and isn't going to be popular around here, but here's the typical "selfish" case... Some sixteen-year-old girl doesn't want to ruin her life and body because a condom broke on prom night. What gave you the right to force her to?

I've never aborted a child and I doubt I ever would, but having the freedom to make a choice is important to society. Yes, there is another option, adoption, that is held in much higher esteem... and that's just that... another option... that a mother can decide to go with.

As an American, I'll never in my lifetime vote to take away anybody else's freedom... whether I agree with the basis of it or not...

Anyways, there's the Devil's advocate take on it... I don't expect any likes on this one haha

Lol, was just told students in dorms may qualify to have an "Emotional Support Animal". That means you can bring your pet.

If I was still in school, I can promise you I'd be the first one to stumble to the bathroom in the middle of the night and step in an emotional pile of ****...

We'll, my time over here on the UT campus is coming to an end. I think I'll hit the next bathroom and drop a chief on the way out as a parting gift. To flush or not to flush?

Use the sink that identifies as a toilet. It will claim that you are discriminating against it if you don't.
