OT: 2018 OT Non-Ski Resort Thread

[PM]

I remember talking to you about this before. It wasn't Hudl, but some kind of service similar? Possibly a recruiting/training service for up and coming athletes, something like that?

A little bit different. We work with companies like Hudl, they are actually on my sales force pipeline although we don’t currently work with them. I can’t really explain it any more without completely giving it away. But my clients include the AHL, CHL and ECHL. Those are the clients I enjoy working with, unlike some other jerks. I actually have an AHL media pass that I unfortunately rarely get to use.

For any footballs fans out there, Seahawks owner (and Microsoft co-founder) Paul Allen has just died of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 65.

A sad day. He saved the Seahawk franchise and was an outstanding owner. I only wish we had an owner like him in Vancouver.

Allen never married, and had no children. The control of the Seahawks and the NBA's Trailblazers (which Allen also owned) now rest with his sister Jody. However, it appears that Jody isn't really interested in being a sports owner.

Looks like the Seahawks and the Trailblazers could eventually be put up for sale.

So we allowed to freely talk about pot in here now or what? Someone at my work just asked me how to buy pot from a store... he said do I just ask to buy one weed? I said yes, say exactly that.

Really shouldnt be legal imo its still a gateway drug. And if people dont know what that means its means it leads people to harder more dangerous drugs like cocaine, heroin, fentanol, etc

I'm not going to include the link but the outlet being run by BC Liquor is a good start. Site is an easy find.

Take some time to educate yourself. Fast food (McDonalds etc) and poor dietary habits, and what the pharmaceutical companies push on the public have a wider ranging negative impact than cannabis.

I'm not going to go into details as to my first hand experience in being a caregiver for people close to me but I have witnessed how it's an effective means of pain management for people with MS and cancer, alleviates appetite suppression, and helps with things like anxiety and depression.

Go to sites like ClinicalTrials.gov and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) run by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and search for cannabis related research, either specific to something like a form of cancer or just generally.

This isn't the place for me to preach about cannabis, dietary practices and nutrition, and alternative and complimentary medicine but I'm extremely pleased with the path I've chosen.

Weird, I’ve smoked for a decade and have NEVER felt the urge to do any harder drugs. In fact, the amount of liquor I regularly consume has dropped considerably (odd beer here & there. Plus now #ShotgunJake) & the amount of pharmaceutical drugs I’ve taken is basically nill as well... but yeah! Reefer Madness!!!

My family friends 15yr old kid Logan Stankoven is debuting for the Kamloops Blazers Friday Night, going to the game should be fun.

Ok i will, thanks for the response. I have been raised i guess Conservative and the whole pot thing has always been seeing pretty negatively even tho like 3/4 of the people at school have tried it or do it regularly - but then a lot of them also do harder drugs now too so Ive seen that and the gateway thing is for real

Speaking of pot.....Kamloops Blazers.....hmmmmmmmmm.

 

[GetFocht]

anyone who says pot is a gateway drug or think its negative is viewed as a r e t a r d in my eyes. I will never have any interactions with that person.

Correlation =/= Causation.

The only reason this is true is because drug dealers push other shit onto their customers. My brother went down that f***ed up path.

If you're buying from a store that can't exactly happen.

Pretty much every drug should be legal to possess anyways IMO but some shouldn't be openly sold in public stores and should exclusively be sold online. It'd sure as hell end the dark market of people lacing your drugs.

Hahah funny, considering Kamloops opened the very first recreational Pot shop in BC today!

I mean I disagree that every drug should be legal to possess. We don’t want people walking the streets on heroin/meth/coke etc. Those aren’t natural drugs.

re: Pot and being raised "Conservative". Don't see how this is an issue unless you were also raised to totally abstain from all forms of alcohol and/or cancer sticks.

Don’t know if any of you got a chance to hear this on 1040 earlier but here’s a gem for you NBA/Raptors fans
