POPSsome legal drugs are less safe than illegal drugs This is one such posting about recent studies that highlight the hypocrisy of our various world governments & the attitude of people regarding drugs. If we tolerate smoking & drinking then individuals should have the right to get high or drop a tab or experience euphoria from EX in the same manner. According to this study, it is not only less harmful to the individual, but also has fewer ill social effects. The real issue is that too many people in this world are hypocrites that subscribe to the belief in circular logic. Drugs are illegal, so they are bad. Because drugs are bad, they ought to be illegal. People need to mind their own god damn business and not worry about what others do tjust to ease their own conscience and make themselves feel morally superior. Specifically, lets let doctors prescribe cannabis to cancer & aids patients to help ease the pain, side effects of treatment & to give them an appetite. *sigh* =(

This article is an intimate look into the experimental process.

POPSGreat Anti Meth Campaign What a great PSA campaign....really done well & drives home the message....only thing that would make it better would be to highlight that meth is a sure fire way to get AIDS.

POPSJackalopes are real, the root of the legend http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~hollidac/jackalope.html This is a site dedicated to the legend of the Jackalope....however....it also has photos of rabbits suffering from tumor like growths that probably account for the original legend & running joke at tourist traps nationwide. Poor Bunnies!

POPSFogo De Chao Churrasacaria a Fogo De Chao is opening up in Minneapolis (in the old Copeland's Space in City Center)....my thought is that it could be either very good or a train wreck?!? Whenever "all you can eat" is involved you attract a certain element that can quickly turn a nice place into a trough for slopping pigs....however...If it is priced to provide appreciable quality rather than quality, it becomes more about sampling variety than seeing how much you can stuff in your gut to get the most bang for your buck. I love buffet concepts because it does allow you to sample SMALL portions to learn what you like, to try new things and simply to have what looks good & fits your mood. Has anyone been to one of these? Good, bad, mediocre? And What's the general price range for lunch...or dinner? Cocktails or just wine? I am excited to have something new that isn't an olive garden!
