We can do much better? What the hell does that mean? More drug prohibition? Yeah, that's been working out just peachy.

Portugal's decriminalization of all drugs has led to a sharp drop across the board in drug usage and an increase in effective rehabilitative outcomes.

I think it could be safely assumed that vaporizing nicotine and propylene glycol would lead to some negative health implications. Still, great job by the researchers in building precident.

That being said, I'm personally curious above the health implications of dry herb being vaporized at a controlled temperature, that prevents any combustion, and controls the release of carcinogenic materials like Benzene/ammonia.(produced at around 400 degrees by marijuana vaporization)

Think of a scenario like this: what if one uses a Volcano Vaporizer with dry herb (marijuana). What are the negative health implications there at certain, controlled temperatures? What about the beneficial implications? Do they cancel out?

Or are the negative health implications on par with the sensationalized articles about eating cured meat giving you a whopping 2% overall increased risk of cancer? Basically, I'm very curious if there is a way to drastically reduce the risk of vaporizing with the controlled vaping of dry herbs vs. these e-liquids containing nicotine/other nasty things.

Cool news! I'm curious though, couldn't a quasar possibly cause the gravitational redshift that was observed?

Currently? Correct, hence I'm referring to a network properly scaling in the future. Ethereum currently has difficulties processing a image-based cat game, nevermind actual transactions.

If a decentralized cryptocurrency platform could properly scale in the future, likely with a stable cryptocurrency for currency usage, then this scenario will become a thing of the past.

No worries, soon enough we'll be rid of the horror that is "human interaction". I'm sure that this will have 0 widspread social implications.

Ah, just what I paid for as a taxpayer! Instead of having something freely available as a public good, the government can use it to generate a paltry amount of revenue....woo?

Agreed, it's getting absurd. Practically every post from an official cryptocurrency team's Twitter account gets numerous replies from an account designed to look just like the official account.

Typically, they post a poster stating that there is an Ethereum giveaway, and to enter: one simply needs to give a small amount of Ethereum to the wallet address in the poster. This is supposedly to have the wallet address made known to the "staff" and in turn: the user will receive several times more Ethereum back.

It's clearly still roping in people and is highly prevelant. I'm shocked that Twitter's staff hasn't taken much evasive action. These spam/scam accounts keep springing up left, and right with no end in sight.
