Is it possible that the More Good foundation is involved? I know their fundraising increased significantly in 2018, with money donated by private individuals and church entities. The LDS foundation's contribution of 175k wasn't atypical, but they received a million each from Deseret Trust and a priv...

According to a recent meme on exmoreddit, there are 201 men named in the Book of Mormon. There are 3 women named in the Book of Mormon. Thoughts? Clearly this is because the names of those other women are too sacred to speak. I think you're on to something. In fact, If I recall correctly, Hugh Nibl...

Years ago I remember reading a theory about alcoholism that was...sobering. It is simply that cultures with the lowest rates of alcoholism are cultures that have been fermenting the longest. Mediterranean cultures have lower rates of alcoholism than northern countries. So what happens when cultures...

Illegal? Give me a break. DO you think cops bother casual users? San Bernardino officers were told not to even give tickets in that the fine was less than the cost to process the paper work. Speed is illegal and they don't even arrest people for small amounts for pretty much the same reason. It's s...

....When one is 14 to say 17 years old, and you turn to pot, and if you like it and you hang with that crowd...most often you will graduate to harder drugs ..... ....I think marijuana should be illegal because it makes youth that abuse it stupid and lazy...and crushes and r e t a r d s potential......

Mark views MJ as a gateway drug, where folks going off opioids rely on it's properties via various forms of delivery, (smoking/edibles/cannabis-hemp oils) to deal with withdrawal from opiates.
