The best purchase I've made since moving to springfield is a $3 air chuck that I keep in my car and can screw onto any of the hoses that have had theirs stolen

A coworker of mine had that shit going off all the time.

I've had my phone set to vibrate since like 2005 - When I hear Ron Fucking Hearst shouting at me from someone's crotch... I just don't understand why anyone would want that.

You should be able to find a list of covered providers on your insurers website or app.

I had bad experiences there

Man, we went on Sunday and there was no line at any of the ticket booths when we arrived. In and out and didn't have to pay the $40 convenience fee the website wanted.

So did you end up finding your Chiefs gear?

I believe Rt 66 still doing free delivery on orders of $70+. Pretty sure it is $10 delivery fee on lesser orders but not certain.

I work in housing and my old company had an apartment complex in that area. Storage shed was broken into too many time too count.

I think my favorite was when they planted a bunch of flowers to improve curb appeal and they were all stolen by the next day.

I had never encountered a diverging Diamond before visiting Springfield the first time. I was white-knuckling it the whole way through but at least decided to just follow the guy in front of me.

tbf most of the new rec users don't know one from the other. Greenlight is visible.

Approvals came early

I got an alignment and new tires from them. Within 2 months, the front tires had to be replaced due to the awful alignment job.

I've had good experiences with Aasby though I've only used them a few times.

I would absolutely avoid Bohannon.

Those are the only two garages I have used in town.

Not just STEM

He asks what kind of work you're looking for and you say something with a decent paycheck. He asks what you consider a decent paycheck and you say it depends on the kind of work.

Lol is this how you answer questions in a job interview?

She gets me one every year before Christmas but once I eat all the little chocolates out of it, it's worthless to me.

Because you could hear my truck coming down the road from a block and a half away lol. Squeak squeak squeak

I've been driving an 01 Toyota Tacoma for my entire adult life and it has been a really wonderful vehicle. Will get passed down to my stepson in another year or two.

I had the suspension replaced about a year ago because it started to creak, but the engine has been rock solid despite the extreme neglect I showed it early on.

Nah bro it's in front of the other side

I'm not religious at all but it's insane that you are being down voted for giving a genuine suggestion.

Well decriminalizing heroin would probably reduce opioid prescriptions somewhat!

Congrats on the sobriety! My partner has been sober for 7 years now. Springfield has a really robust AA community and that was a great help to her especially during the difficult times. I obviously don't know your personal situation, but you never have to be alone in recovery unless you choose to be. Sobriety gets easier the longer you stick with it, so much easier.

This study notes that they saw this trend of fewer opioid prescriptions specifically in states with legalized medical marijuana compared to states without.

Assuming that a growing reluctance to prescribe opioids was/is relatively uniform across the nation, you can still attribute the reduction in opiate prescriptions to legal MMJ according to this one study.

While this one study makes a convincing case about marijuana legality affecting the rate of opioid prescriptions, there could be other factors involved that are not being controlled for. For example, it is possible that those states with legal MMJ also have differing social policies overall that could affect the rate of opioid abuse. I completely agree with your point about correlation vs causation; we absolutely need much more research on all aspects of marijuana to draw those lines with full confidence.

It's insane that we are only now starting to ramp up scientific study of a substance vast numbers of Americans have been using for generations.

Is the 6% on top of our regular sales tax, or is weed just taxed at a different rate?

Here is a study that shows that legalized MEDICAL marijuana reduces the number of opiates prescribed amongst the general population. It states that recreational marijuana did not have the same effect though, probably because those recreational states have pretty much all legalized medical first, so there was increased access for actual patients already.

Although this study does not factor in illicit use of opiates, only the number of valid prescriptions being filled. I would imagine illicit recreational opiate use would decrease with increased recreational marijuana.

It's all certainly worth more study.

I mean, he is describing an extremely common tactic in Congress. There isn't any clairvoyance required to see it.
