From The FDA To Facebook, Why Shopping For CBD Oil Is Confusing

December 12, 2016 By Gunhee Park 1 Comment

Shopping for CBD oil is quite a sketchy experience.

Brands use overly vague language on their sites, like “CBD helps with homeostasis” or “daily wellness.” You’ll find it extremely hard to find what benefits hemp extracts actually offer. They won’t tell you how much CBD to take (or even what’s recommended).

Most sites don’t even use the term CBD on their pages because they could get in trouble. Rather, you’ll find substitute terms, such as hemp extract, hemp oil, or even phytocannabinoid oil being used.

But before diving into why these issues exist, let’s first explore what CBD is and why it is still so controversial.

2016: Trump, Meths & Heroin — The White Man’s Burden

January 12, 2016 By David Seaton Leave a Comment

If World War Three doesn’t break out in the Middle East (a big if), 2016 may well feature the increasingly grotesque and tragicomic banality of American life.

Not long ago in these pages, I wrote about the massive addiction of white Americans with only a high school diploma or less to the stimulant, methamphetamine.

Now this same demographic group appears to be “hooked” on Donald Trump, who has a real chance of becoming the next POTUS.

Today’s America Is A Class Act

December 30, 2015 By David Seaton 5 Comments

In today’s America are the working class fated to end up like the women in the photographs, fated to take methamphetamine in order to be able to stand the strain of working 60-plus-hour weeks at minimum wage without any unions or medical coverage?

Is there only to be a future in America for knowledge workers?

If so, we as a people are in deep, deep, shit.

Because that is not really in our DNA.
