The same reason some people get scared to fart around others in the bathroom.

I think its a cool idea, thought I dont suffer from it.

So cannabinoids can be absorbed through the butt?

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
Vaginal suppository. It's a way to get around FDA approval since tampons are a medical device and require it. I think they finally approved the first CBD product so it's not exactly easy.

The interest is in finding something other than pills for menstrual cramps and since some cramps are caused by the tampons themselves.

Edit: There are taxes on tampons and female hygiene products in the US, no need to make being female illegal if you're going to do that. I ran into a lot of anger at the cost of products they dont have much choice in using while any mention of it is swept under the rug or painted over since everyone doesnt want to talk about it, thus the educational portion. Homeless women tear up pads and save them because cleanliness is a huge issue, tampons aren't a good fit for them. God forbid you're in a country where menstruation is looked down upon and women can't go to school because of it or resort to dried husks or grass for lack of products/money.

Like I said, a lot of learning about menstruation this quarter!

Have you thought about tinctures? I know that cannabinoids are difficult to be absorbed transdermally, but if its going inside, it might be better? I know the idea is to make it inclusive, but what if the product were a salve or oil instead to also appeal to the people who wear pads. My wife takes CBD for menstral stuff and loves it.

Going to see where the women in the group want to go with it, there's plenty of options just limited resources. We definitely did not start out with CBD in mind so we are moving in interesting directions.

It's really easy to pick out prior military people if you know what you're looking for, unless they're exceptionally good at hiding it and even then. It's a taint that will never leave fully.

I just applied to the honors society for my major because I thought that 2.99 would be taken as a 3.0. Nope. Apparently that .01 counts. What the gently caress?

CU has a good set of veteran student benefits so that if you're attending school there and are using the GI bill for your undergraduate degree you should get quite a bit of money back in the form of grants. This is all provided that you don't have any other source of income that would affect your financial aid eligibility

They also have a veteran services department that also offers a scholarship for veterans with above a 3.0 I think.

Other than that Boulder is a bland rear end town that is expensive to live in. Hiking and snowboarding are both awesome in the area, as is cycling and mountain biking. Generally it's a really nice place to live.

To each their own, I really prefer Montana and Wyoming and Washington foothills/mountains, to say nothing of New Mexico. Colorado kind of soured on me largely as a function of meeting boring potheads (but I’m sure Mines won’t va r that issue as bad!)

I almost did my MS at Mines. If you have state residence its dirt cheap for a master's. I didn't check PhD prices. Also, my undergrad was high stress and male so I think I made the right choice. Otherwise I would have been up in the mountains living with a friend who works at Coors and cutting as much class as possible to be outside.

LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!

I met one guy in community college that checked virtually every box. Field jacket with the stupid-big 1st Cav patch. He had half the class cringing during his turn at "tell us about yourself" the first day.

He never came back to that class again, and I've never seen him again in my life.
