Exactly how marijuana is used might be a factor. Smoking gets you lots of combustion byproducts: carbon monoxide, etc. Vaporizers and edibles do not. I'd like to see the breakdown, and maybe compared with cigarette smokers as well. Maybe it's the THC that is causing the effect reported, but maybe not.

I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Either Trump is in the pay of Russia, or he's a dangerous nut who will start a war with Russia. It can't be both. But the Hillary campaign is flailing wildly as she loses, so they will claim anything, no matter how contradictory.
Here's a thought how about the DNC replaces her with someone who has NOT attempted to break the law? Failing that how about someone who doesn't have a paper trail showing they tried??????
Too late. Ballot deadlines have passed. I believe early voting has started in some places. The DNC just can't call up 50 states and tell them to change the name on the ballots.
What a catastrophe! Now, nobody who reads tech blogs will buy an iPhone 6 in the next 24 hours. Imagine the earnings hit. Apple will now go the way of Osborne.
I'm glad most posters here weren't fooled by this obvious stunt. It's like cutting aluminum foil into the shape of a gun, putting it in your airline luggage, and then crying "Racial profiling!" when the TSA pulls you out of the line for questioning. "Help, help, I'm being oppressed!"
That is what the voting booth is for. With generalized vote-by-mail, we would see much more vote buying and small-scale intimidation such as “vote for my stepbrother if you want to keep your job”.
Another issue is that the elderly in nursing homes and elsewhere are often "helped" to vote by people who actually mark the ballots according to their own preferences.
Indeed, the "people who've been caught doing exactly the same thing as she did" were Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell and I haven't heard of anyone asking for them to prosecuted for these "crimes".
Another b.s. talking point, long demolished. Rice and Powell did not set up their own email servers. They did not send Top Secret material via insecure email. They did not destroy government documents. They did not lie about it.
So, it turns out that borders matter after all! And that First World citizens don't like being flooding with Third Worlders who don't necessarily want to assimilate, and in fact seem to want to make their new country more like the hellholes they escaped from. And that opinions that are criticized do better in the privacy of the voting booth than in polls. (See: "shy Tory effect" or "Bradley effect.")
Now we have Trump, who at least talks a good game about loving his country, vs. Hillary, who wants to "fix" and "improve" it by doing things like importing more Muslim refugees and restricting gun rights. Many people are going to be shocked when Trump wins.

This may be a bit out of left field as a suggestion, but How to Lie With Statistics by Darrell Huff is short, funny, enlightening, and teaches a lot about the presentation of technical information. It's a painless introduction to the subjects that Edward Tufte goes into in far more depth.
As one might expect, familiarity levels with the candidates was high – between 7.7 and 8.5 on a scale of 10. We predicted that our manipulation would produce a very small effect, if any, but that’s not what we found. On average, we were able to shift the proportion of people favouring any given candidate by more than 20 per cent overall and more than 60 per cent in some demographic groups. Even more disturbing, 99.5 per cent of our participants showed no awareness that they were viewing biased search rankings – in other words, that they were being manipulated.
Not that "murky." Hillary was under a sworn obligation to keep classified material secure. She had at least 22 Top Secret documents on her email server. Those things don't just get accidentally forwarded from a secure system. Somebody went to some trouble to move them from a classified system to an unclassified one. That is a federal crime right there. It's also a crime to handle classified materials in a negligent manner.
Mass freight is cheap and efficient so I don't know what you're complaining about.
The last I checked, environmentalists considered ocean freighters to be sources of energy usage and air and ocean pollution.
The "placed end to end" measurement is a dramatic but silly way of measuring plastic cups and metal foil. I suspect the total mass and energy footprint of all K-Cups is pretty trivial, but I can't find a reference to their empty weight.
So, people who say they "care about the planet" insist on drinking a beverage made from beans grown thousands of miles away, but the real problem is the way they make their beverage, after those beans are shipped thousands of miles to them...?
They block new housing development, so there is a shortage. Then they throw a fit because rent keeps going up. Even if there wasn't a tech boom, this is the expected result when you strangle the supply. Have they stopped teaching basic economics in our schools?
"Politics is the mindkiller." There are a lot of bright people here, but the politics is left-wing to the point of idiocy. We also finance what local wags call the "homeless-industrial complex" to the tune of $150-$200 million a year, and wonder why the problem never seems to get any better.

Now that's comedy!

Very insightful. Too bad I don't seem to get mod points these days.
That if HRC doesn't win in November, she'll be in jail a year from November?
You're assuming she'll survive her Parkinson's or whatever it is she's got.

A drone-expert friend tells me that it's a commercially-available toy, not some super-duper cutting-edge technology.
You sure it wasn't simply a NYTimes article that passed through the wrong set of hands and ended up being Classified as due course?
Emails from Hillary Clinton's home server contained information classified at levels higher than previously known, including a level meant to protect some of the most sensitive U.S. intelligence, according to a document obtained by NBC News.
Indeed, the "people who've been caught doing exactly the same thing as she did" were Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell and I haven't heard of anyone asking for them to prosecuted for these "crimes".

Facebook (especially) has the power to use the Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME) to influence what people see, and that has been proven to have a strong influence on how people vote:
Nobody has presented public evidence that ANY were clearly classified at the time she sent/received them.
Zilcho.
Irrelevant, and false: Dozens of Clinton emails were classified from the start, U.S. rules suggest
Plus, some things are "born classified". They do not need "clear markings" to be classified, and she knew this.
Oh, and then there is the email in which she ordered someone to strip the classified markings from a document. Quote: "If they can't, turn into non paper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure." That's a smoking gun in my book. If you or I did that, we'd be in federal prison right now.
Not that "murky." Hillary was under a sworn obligation to keep classified material secure. She had at least 22 Top Secret documents on her email server. Those things don't just get accidentally forwarded from a secure system. Somebody went to some trouble to move them from a classified system to an unclassified one. That is a federal crime right there. It's also a crime to handle classified materials in a negligent manner.
In addition, the Japanese had organized the Patriotic Citizens Fighting Corps, which included all healthy men aged 15 to 60 and women 17 to 40 for a total of 28 million people, for combat support and, later, combat jobs. Weapons, training and uniforms were generally lacking: some men were armed with nothing better than muzzle-loading muskets, longbows or bamboo spears; nevertheless, they were expected to make do with what they had.[53][54] One mobilized high school girl, Yukiko Kasai, found herself issued an awl and told, "Even killing one American soldier will do. ... You must aim for the abdomen."[55]
I am guessing that groups like the KKK are monitored by federal law enforcement.
At this point, most of the members are probably FBI agents.
Could such hacking muck with ongoing investigations?
Yup.
BTW: what has the KKK done in the last 50 years? A few pointless marches?
Indeed. This is just pointless if not counter-productive moral preening by SJWs high on over-hyped racism/"white supremacy" bullshit. It's the modern version of '50s McCarthyites seeing a Commie under every bed. It's the same mania that recently led college students to mistake a priest with rosary beads for a KKK member with a whip.
