It's a disgrace the government has zero plans on the legalization of even the most safe, risk-free recreational drug. That lobby organizations exist to campaign against this based off of rare side effects normally induced by a combination with alcohol.

thejournal.ie/legalising-can…
Where's the lobbying to outlaw alcohol? Alcohol can be linked to ~2.8 million deaths each year, 40% of all violent crimes are linked to alcohol, offenders are far more likely to be under the influence of alcohol than any other drug.

It has NO health benefits whatsoever, as opposed to Cannabis: nap.edu/resource/24625…

And LSD: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Does this mean they are perfectly safe and should be consumed by everybody? Obviously not, but when the government happily monetizes high-morbidity substances like alcohol and cigarettes but deigns to put you in a cage for consuming the above, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

The only difference between most illegal drugs and legal drugs like drinking alcohol/smoking tobacco is that white middle-class families in the US rebelled when one was banned, but due to propaganda celebrated when the other was banned.
Most narcotics were banned in the 20th Century because the US government found it a useful propaganda technique to maintain power. It has historically been a club which the Government would use to stigmatize factions/minorities (Mexicans/weed, hippies/psychedelics, blacks/crack)
This article is a great read on the topic and exposes the lies that have been told over the century. If you don't think it's a method of maintaining power then you have to ask yourself why Governments repeatedly ban legal, safe, alternative highs.

Worst thing about leaving cert results is the 1% of people who screw up school/college and still end up successful just use the day as an opportunity to do some serious humblebragging
Now I did screw up school/college and end up doing very well for myself, however I attribute 80-90% of that to pure luck and had several horrible, draining years where I tried to figure out what the hell I was going to do without proper qualifications.
With a good degree and good results I could have achieved the same thing (maybe better) without having a major early-life crisis which I wouldn't recommend to anyone...

It's good to know that over-doses and sudden deaths from taking drugs mostly comes from what they are cut with, not the drugs themselves.

The average street purity of a bag of cocaine in Ireland is 15%, the other 85% can include: hairspray, petrol, speed, fentanyl, GHB
Phenactin (banned analgesic medication), Levamisole (deworming agent for dogs), Methamphetamines, Lidocaine (anesthetic), Acetaminophen (increased risk of liver failure through nose), Sugar, Lead, Caffeine and pretty much whatever the fuck the dealer wants to put in the bag
Ever wonder why there aren't mass overdose or sudden death issues in the countries that produces the drugs? It's primarily because they are more likely to get actual pure forms of the drugs. The drugs are dangerous because they are illegal, not illegal because they are dangerous.

Meet JuIia Reifkind.

She works for the lsraeli Embassy in Washington & is connected with several other pro-IsraeI groups, including AlPAC.

She does surveillance on college campuses & engages in deceptive propaganda operations, essentially serving as a spy for a foreign state.
In addition to bringing college faculty on board with pro-Israel politics, funding them & providing them with resources, in order to use them as allies in crushing BD$, Reifkind served a key role in demonizing students involved in the BD$ movement at UC Davis.
The pro-IsraeI groups knew they weren’t going to win the BD$ vote on campus, so they staged a walkout & used the media to deceptively push their message.

“We went into it knowing we were going to lose, so our strategy was how to ultimately win while losing the vote.”

14. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

Thread about .@ICEgov

Did you know that besides keeping our border safe and participating in the removal of illegal aliens, ICE has another important role.

What is the role?

Battling pedophilia

ICE is on the forefront of battling pedophilia and breaking up sex trafficking
You may think the border is the only issue of why some people may want to abolish ICE

Certain individuals have a vested interested in their abandonment

As propaganda intensifies against .@ICEgov officers remember their core mission. To keep Americans safe and to stop pedophiles
There is an active propaganda campaign against ICE. It’s being pushed by several interest groups.

The open borders crowd
The cheap labor crowd
Pedophiles
Drug cartels
The Democrats

Weakening ICE benefits those interests

I am writing a thread for supporters PM Narendra Modi .
I am a professional , a Doctor , with no intention to join active politics but I take interest in politics to support the efforts of PM Narendra Modi. It doesn't make me supporter of any political party including Bjp! 1/n
After yesterday's defeat of my Prime minister's party Bjp in 3 Assembly Elections, I am too feeling low but in view of larger battle of 2019 for my PM , I am seeing silver lining in the cloud vis a vis yesterday's mandate that I would like to share in this thread . 2/n
One cannot ignore the fact that Bjp had incumbent Governments for last 15 years in Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh & for last 5 yrs in Rajasthan with same term for incumbent CMs.Anti incumbency was natural in these states & especially in Rajasthan, people were unhappy with CM.3/n

1/ In honor of Monday: A review of key academic research relating to modern portfolio mgmt—the foundation of everything we do—in tweet.

In the beginning there was darkness, Harry Markowitz speaks: Portfolio Selection (1952). math.ust.hk/~maykwok/cours…
2/ Markowitz (1952, 1959), father of modern portfolio theory (MPT), expresses behavior w/in portfolio context, establishing the use of mean-variance assumption (MVA) and st. dev as the definition of risk

Many people respond (Roy, Porter, &etc); we rarely cite their names.
3/James Tobin (1958) adds risk free rate and derives the efficient frontier and capital markets line based on the works of Markowitz.

He is also rarely mentioned.
