As a person who isn't a picky baby who only eats one kind of thing, I like all sorts of bbq from Korean to Texas to Memphis dry to the Carolinas and beyond. Well, maybe not that poo poo Mr. hootington posted a pic of. But that might not legally have been food.

mdemone posted:I've done effortposts on this before, but 30 days is a serious overestimate. The vast majority of smokers are clean in far less time. The "30 days" canard comes from a single subject in a single study, whose THC levels kept mysteriously spiking throughout the study so that it took him more than a month to get clean. All other users were clean within two weeks, even long-term heavy smokers. (The NDCP did a meta-study on this and found the same thing, unfortunately I can't find that paper right now.) From personal experience, two weeks is a much more reasonable timeframe for heavy users, and one-time users are clean within a week and possibly within 48 hours they could beat a simple immunoassay that only tests to ~25 ng/mL (but not GC/MS which can get to ~5 ng/mL). The THC-metabolites hang around in fatty cells, but not nearly as long as you think, and I've seen heavy users hydrate/creatinine their way to being clean within a span of several days. I was smoking once a day for an extended period of time, got a new job that required a test, abstained for about 25 days and still failed two practice tests I got from CVS. Ended up having to smuggle clean piss into the lab. If the job hadn't required a background check as well, which took 30 days, and instead required me to drug test immediately upon being offered the position, I'd have been straight up hosed.

It's just a bit too coincidental that none of these changes affect Boomers at all, and smash Gen X/Y. What? Their premiums are going up, too. Hell everyone's premiums are going up. I have an employee-sponsored plan, for example, and there's more than a good chance that my premiums are going to go up by 20-30% next year because out state budget is such a disaster. Healthcare costs, in general, are going up because it's more expensive than ever. Having more sick people (and more older people) on medicare means that the cost of the program has gone up. Where the hell do you think the revenue for that is going to come from? Also Medicare is literally only for disabled individuals and retirees, so it's not "smashing Gen X/Y." Medicaid is for low-income individuals. BI NOW GAY LATER fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Oct 28, 2015 |

How are u posted:I was smoking once a day for an extended period of time, got a new job that required a test, abstained for about 25 days and still failed two practice tests I got from CVS. Yeah, the at-home tests are notoriously difficult to read correctly, and also have a pretty high failure/false-positive rate (~10-20%). My wife just went through basically the same thing, similar timespan and everything. She passed one at-home test, failed another one taken the same day, and the next day her official immunoassay was flagged as "possible positive" at the lab, only for it to come back full negative after further testing (GC/MS). Essentially the immunoassay style of test is riddled with problems throughout the process of testing and reading, and has a high false-positive rate (even the best labs will admit their THC immunoassay has a ~5-10% FP rate). Obviously the best course of action is to abstain for at least a month, while trying to hydrate and get exercise -- and also you can eat a high-fiber diet and poop out those metabolites in the fat cells!

You're trying to make an argument that is virtually impossible to make (1) and (2) trying to blame "boomers" when, really, healthcare /costs/ have skyrocketed for a lot of reasons. here;s an example: my prescription coverage -- through an employer based plan -- went up around 6-7% as a result of adding hep c vaccination coverage -- because they cost, individually, something like $25k if you don't have insurance.
