By Ricardo Baca, The Cannabist Staff If you live where recreational weed is legal, is smoking pot in front of your kids any different than drinking a few beers in front of them?
That’s the question one Redditor asked recently, and he was met with a chorus of jumbled answers — everything from “yes, it’s O.K.” to “no, you should still hide it” to “It’s this kind of shit that makes me want to repeal (legal pot).” New York Times: “The federal government should repeal the ban on marijuana” For reals.

They have a great cause– but many seem to be misinformed about Locks of Love‘s exact mission. Once upon a time, I was an eleven-year-old with Leukemia. My family and I turned to Locks of Love to secure a wig for me.

Eventually, we got a letter back. Rejected. If you actually take a close look at their website, Locks of Love does specify that most of their wigs go to kids with alopecia. In kid time, though, even a year of hair loss feels pretty darn long-term. To be clear, alopecia is a devastating condition, and those who suffer from it absolutely deserve wigs. The problem is that Locks of Love does not do an adequate job of correcting the widespread false perceptions about the organization. In their ‘Who We Service‘ section: Farmers Insurance Sues Local Governments For Ignoring Climate Change.

The suits allege that the localities did not do enough to prepare sewers and stormwater drains in the area during a two-day downpour last April. In what could foreshadow a legal reckoning of who is liable for the costs of climate change, the class actions against nearly 200 Chicago-area communities look to place responsibility on municipalities, perhaps spurring them to take a more forward-looking approach in designing and engineering for a future made different by climate change. “Farmers is asking to be reimbursed for the claims it paid to homeowners who sometimes saw geysers of sewage ruin basement walls, floors and furniture,” reported E&E News. Insurance companies are becoming increasingly concerned, and more vocal, about the rising costs of climate change.

Students Invent Nail Polish To Detect Date Rape Drugs - FOX13 News, WHBQ FOX 13. PHOENIX (KSAZ) - When women choose a nail polish, the color is usually the most important decision.
But now a group of young inventors say their nail polish could keep you from becoming a victim of a date rape. They say it can detect if your drink is spiked by simply dipping your finger in it. This nail polish is not yet on the market but already the college students who invented it are getting a lot of attention and a lot of money to get this product on store shelves. They say it's a simple and discreet way for women to find out if their drink has been spiked with a date rape drug. An experimental nail polish called "Undercover Colors" can tell you if your drink has been spiked with a date rape drug.
You simply dip your finger into a drink, and if the polish changes color, it means someone has slipped you something. "It is a good measure of prevention, however the message we should be sending to people is not to rape each other," said Kat Hoffland. Tempe Police Lt.
