Today's thoughts on two issues

I like it when people send me news articles to look at. It exercises my thought process and requires me to look at an issue in a logical manner. I received two articles this morning from a friend.


The video is a must watch. My opinion on the use of CBD in medical situations? Absolutely. I have seen firsthand the effects of opioid use and how a person who uses CBD to alleviate chronic pain instead of the opioids. I have seen how the use of medicinal marijuana is used effectively for PTSD. I know the use of CBD in epileptic seizures if amazingly effective. Why wouldn’t you want to use a method of treatment that works?


While I tend to disagree with the ACLU on a variety of issues they represent, I applaud their advocacy on this issue.

"This case is the first chance to start to set reasonable limits applicable to requests for these kinds of digital-age records by making clear that a warrant will sometimes be required," said Nathan Freed Wessler, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer opposing the government in the case.


It is amazing to think that a governmental agency can do a massive sweep of all the private calls and text messages I send. I hope the SCOTUS opinion leans towards freedom and not Big Brother.
