From a certain perspective I agree, and though I am a free market capitalist to my core, the free market doesn't preclude an organization behaving in a communist fashion; the free market simply doesn't require it. I very much encourage things like this.

If startups were making progress this slow on things like self-driving cars, we'd be very underwhelmed. At this rate, we'll all be dead before the majority of cancer treatments are successful.

Well, it's because our government published official diet recommendations (look up the Food Pyramid) and told us we should be eating more grains than absolutely anything else. Science on sugar has been repressed in our country, and the corn industry has exerted pressure in various ways to put corn syrup into absolutely everything. When I grew up, everything I had ever learned told me it was normal and healthy. I have more recently learned to avoid it.

It sounds like something I'd name my dog. I don't like Jenkins, either. Clearly it's just personal taste, but I prefer either completely made up names, or names of inanimate objects. I think Rust is great, for example. I don't like "Travis". This is all just my own, subjective, personal opinion though. I apologize if my comment came off harshly.

What you just said is far more creepy than "S3XY".

informal exciting; appealing. "I've climbed most of the really sexy west coast mountains" synonyms: exciting, stimulating, interesting, appealing, intriguing, slick, red-hot "a sexy sales promotion"

I think the volume and your preference for the music matter a lot. Some places I visit, I love the music and it makes me want to stay longer and come back. In other places, I hate it and want to avoid it.

As someone who has to take a LOT of supplements under supervision of a doctor, this would be great. Unfortunately, of the 7 supplements you offer that I actually take, you can't even get them in a high enough concentration to replace any supplement that I'm taking. I guess these are just for healthy people without any actual deficiencies? B12 for example, is basically impossible to overdose on but your 100mcg is useless to me when I inject about 2CCs of it a week, and your 100mg of Vitamin C is useless to me when I take 2 grams a day. Can't take the B9 because my MTHFR problems make me require Folinic Acid instead. I take 5,000IU/day of D3, and I have no idea how much "0.05 mg" is since D is measured in International Units.

The other, less common supplements I take like Acetyl-L-Carnatine, L-Arganine, and R-Alpha-Lipolic-Acid, you don't offer.

What? I mean, if YOU are overseas and send a Snapchat, sure. But it's no different from any other data. Sending a MMS picture or video to someone else who is overseas, could be expensive. Snapchat won't incur any fees that all other data wouldn't, such as uploading the picture to Facebook.

It is nothing like functional alcoholism. Marijuana does not cause someone to become overconfident and make stupid decisions and take risks, and it doesn't cause any significant change in reaction time when used regularly. But, of course, a functional alcoholic would probably drive drunk slightly more safely than someone who rarely drinks. But the direct CNS effects of alcohol make alcohol a pretty direct safety risk in ways that marijuana is not.

Also, do you support the .08 legal limit for alcohol? That's about two drinks for most people. If you do, do you think Marijuana should be any different? Why could I have two drinks, but not two joints?

Depression, yes; see http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/06/marijauna-depressio... .

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that OP has "just been lucky". There is also no evidence to suggest that OP is a threat to him/herself or anyone else; they simply noted that they had previously been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Also, Bupropion is an anti-depressant, not an anti-psychotic. And Xanax is a strong Benzodiazepine and also not in any way an antipsychotic. So the conditions that OP was treating were basically depression and anxiety, which scientific evidence shows Cannabis has positive impact on both.

Now, this should provide all of the evidence needed to contradict your ridiculousness, but, in case it doesn't, YES, certain constituent compounds of Cannabis DO INDEED treat schizophrenia (and, again, your insinuation that anyone claimed it /did/ treat schizophrenia is a bit illogical for reasons above). See here for more info: https://www.projectcbd.org/schizophrenia

CBD is a potent anti-psychotic and antianxiety/anticonvulsant. Granted, it's present in small relative amounts to THC in most strains, but CBD supplements are available in all of the Medical states. I take them almost daily for anxiety and anti-inflammatory reasons.
