Do you really think I freak out when I see people smoke cigarettes on the street? At this point, marijuana does not cause the amount of deaths that tobacco does. Personally, I don't worry about things...

The possession of marijuana is illegal per federal law and in 46 states. If you caught with it, you can be put in jail. Also, all males above the age of 18 must register for selective service. We...

I don't have to see footage of it, I live here. Seeing people smoking on the street is very common and it really doesn't bother me. Sure, I don't want to see minors smoke it. However, I don't think it...

Do you really think it was hard to find pot prior to the state regulating it? Legalization is a much better way to restrict access to minors. The marijuana vendors in this state card and make sure...

So let me ask you, would you rather threw people who smoke marijuana but otherwise cause no other problems, in jail? Remember that it cost over $25,000 a year to house and feed an inmate. The state...

Where is it legal for minors to smoke marijuana? I come from Colorado, one of the American states that has very liberal marijuana laws, and you can't smoke it until you are twenty-one. I think you are...

I think I was completely justified in showing hostility toward Parakeet. There is a possibility, albeit very small, that she might be my nurse one day. I was just putting her or anyone else who thinks...

What I did not see on this site is any proof that transgender people are better off being forced to live as their birth sex. Just a bunch of anti-gay and anti-trans

This post right here, shows that you are completely ignorant of transgender issues or how the surgery is done. In M2F sugery, the member is not simply cut

People who are transgender are not automatically mentally ill. It's possible to be trans* and be perfectly happy and well adjusted, especially after one transitions and starts living in the proper...

I also wanted to address the people who said that they would have issues referring to me with feminine pronouns or who would use my former name (deadnaming in trans* slang). You do this at your own...
I hate unrealistic expectations. For example, family members who blame us because their 98 year old mother who broke a hip is not able to walk 2 days after surgery. Puke is pretty gross

This is a great article. As a nurse, who happens to be transgender, I can't emphasize enough to not make assumptions. No two transgender people are the
