1. Nursing student taking drugs

   OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

   Perhaps we aren't really disagreeing, then. As for drug companies controlling the supply, I don't think thats relevant, as I don't believe that drug companies should have a corner on the market. In my opinion, that is part of the problem. The current...

   Again, nodoby was talking about that, and nobody cares. Even if MJ has a teratogenic effect [which it probably does], this is irrelevant to legalization, as alcohol and nicotine also preduce birth defects.

3. Nursing student taking drugs

   OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

   I think you're just way off on another tangent, more than anything. We were just talking about general studies done on marijuana. No one mentioned anything about official FDA trials. I know how those work, and I was talking about academic research, w...

4. Nursing student taking drugs

   OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

   Ha! I love how we're pretending that America is the only country capable of doing credible research.... There are so many things wrong with this post, its not even funny. First of all, most marijuana sold in the USA is "pure", as you call it...we're ...

5. Nursing student taking drugs

   OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

   And yet, so many people would rather stay way up on their moral high horse than actually, you know, take the time to look at actual facts.....

6. Nursing student taking drugs

   OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

   Exactly. BabyLady, you are forgetting that there is a difference between simply being illegal, and being a criminal offense. For example, parking tickets result from an illegal action, but it is not a criminal offense, so you can get as many parking ...

   I think I'm putting Paris on my list as well...I'd like to go back for a couple of weeks. The food was amazing, even the cheap casual stuff was good. A friend of mine and I would stumble back from DiscoQUEEN at 5 in the morning and stop at this hole ...

   ...just one more reason my MJ is safer than narcotic pain meds. Even chronic users do not develop a tolerance.

9. Nursing student taking drugs

   OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

   I've wondered about that....If you have a legitimate prescription for MJ, and you get caught in a drug screen at work, can the BON take action against your license? I know that MJ is federally illegal, but the state says its OK. Since the BON is a st...

10. Is cleanliness cultural?

    OC85 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I was just referring to smell. People think those other things about Americans because we generally do make crap cars, overfeed ourselves [super Size Me, anyone?], and make some terribly unrealistic movies filled with deplorable violence [b...

11. Concorde vs. American Career College

    OC85 replied to joliemolie's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm really sorry, but thats not what I meant. I meant if you are a native speaker and , after 12 years of school and speaking the language every day, couldn't learn grammar well enough to pass the English section, then you are obviously in need of re...

12. Requirments for graduate nursing increasing?

    OC85 replied to pdaddy's topic in General Nursing

    ...that makes me kind of sad. NP is something I was seriously considering as a final goal, but there's no way I'm going to make it by 2012. Almost every single person I know who has a Doctorate tells me the same thing: "If you can get by with a Maste...

13. Is cleanliness cultural?

    OC85 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    This is a point I was going to bring up. What some people consider BO may not be due to a lack of hygiene. Certain foods really do seem to come out of your pores and affect your body's natural scent. I remember a former neighbor of mine once shared a...

14. Concorde vs. American Career College

    OC85 replied to joliemolie's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I wouldn't worry, the English and math entrance exams for most private LVN programs are an absolute joke. Basically, if you are a native English speaker, you should pass easily [and if you don't, then you have no business applying for nursing school ...

    OC85 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Hence, the fairly biased opinion. Personally, I prefer German. As a total package, I'm partial enough to BMW that I chose to buy one. However, when you take an objective look at the car's capabilities, and the technology behind it, even I'll admit th...
