Study: states without access to legal cannabis are fatter

The vast majority of South Dakotans are in horrible physical shape: obesity, addiction to opioids, teen binge drinking, sexually transmitted infections...yada, yada, yada.

Want to take a bite out of the American obesity epidemic? Legalize medical marijuana. Researchers from San Diego State University and Cornell University found that at the state level, passing a medical marijuana law (MML) “is associated with a 2 percent to 6 percent decline in the probability of obesity.” So if medical marijuana reduces pain, it may be allowing those patients to be more active — and hence, burn more calories.

A study of the efficacy of cannabis on children with epilepsy is beginning in New York. Effectiveness to reduce symptoms of autism have already been documented.

Obese SDGOP blog bully, Pat Powers embraces usury and thinks skin cancer is okay but cannabis prohibition is not nanny-statism. He has kids suffering from autism yet he decries an effective therapy for the afflicted.

Wild Horses of Red Rock

After consulting with the Horse Shelter and an equine veterinarian Donnamarie and Larry have decided that the best way to protect ten free-roaming horses is to keep them in their care. Forage is scarce and the only water available is from wells on their property so the four mares that will foal very soon will be safe, well cared for and as wild as possible. About fifteen acres is fenced with horse-safe wire but the gate is always open so the herd can come and go as they please. The couple has been buying hay and so far that is working but the three stallions need to be gelded and that is expensive so we're asking you to pony up to help defray the cost.
