Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.

the most consistent all-pervasive problem in her field.

Not much of a mathematician here, but the basic pi facts are a stimulating metaphor/model.

And this honest-to-god Leftie likes our honest-to-god centrist President, too, perhaps because I am by nature, and always have been, a process oriented person.

But I knew a couple of guys in college that devoured a very large jar of mayo one night when nothing else was left in the fridge.

But as long as there's some Funyuns around that almost never happens.

and the stories that have actually not panned out.

No, there are no stories about pot smokers eating any people's faces off.

And they still get to advertise that shit on TV. I used to like those commercials that showed a young child with their parent enjoying time together. And then they would say how some drunk driver killed the kid not long after the video was made. The reality of drunk driving needs to be out there more than their fucking alcohol commercials.

while pot mostly, from what I've experienced and witnessed, brings on more of a sense of caution. Many people just want to stay where they're at until they come down. You are more self aware. A delivery maybe, and eating what's in the fridge. I forget where I read recently--cops suspect people of being stoned when they're--extra careful driving, obeying the speed limit exactly, ect.

But alcohol makes people too careless, a feeling of being invincible and overestimating what is possible. Like being able to handle more substances. I agree with this assessment. And bravado is acceptable in our society--it is worked into it.

Alcohol mixed with prescription drugs is another study that needs to be done, but will not find too many sponsors these days.

There are way too many mixed messages when it comes to herbs and drugs. I think the entire educational system needs a major re-boot and start over from scratch.

“By delaying the onset of alcohol initiation, rates of both licit substance abuse like tobacco and illicit substance use like marijuana and other drugs will be positively affected, and they’ll hopefully go down"

That makes no sense. Either they WILL be affected as the first half of the sentence says, or they'll 'hopefully' be affected as the second half says. He actually has no idea what would happen if they delayed "alcohol onset initiation".
