"We" are not talking about milk; nor is the OP. He seems to want to talk about illegal drugs. I hope that I'm wrong.

Cannabidiol is not an illegal drug stateside & has acknowledged benefits worldwide.

Just taking a gulpful of milk has gotten rid of my hives.

I buy CBD oil at a local natural foods store. I don't think it's illegal! You just walk in and buy it. The guy even advertises on TV. And we do not have a medical marijuana law in my state.

The jury is still out here. I think it might give me a little bit of initiative to get started on projects, but I'm not sure. I may be taking too low a dose to be effective.

I love milk, though I drink it rarely, so as not to cheapen this love. The most recent event that made me cherish it was knowing that my former boss (for some values of boss) is lactose-intolerant.

Previously, I paid substantial attention to milk when I learned that no aqueous solution can be white. True solutions are homogeneous, so they can only refract, reflect and absorb light. For something to be white, it needs to scatter almost all incoming light, rather than letting it continue travelling in one or a few well-defined directions. Milk, therefore, is not an aqueous solution; only one of its constituents is. The rest of its mass is made of droplets of fat and proteins suspended in the solution. All the constituents are transparent, but light is scattered because it experiences countless haphazard refractions and reflections on the boundaries between the solution and the droplets.

When you're obese, like me, you usually drink only skimmed milk, which had its fat droplets removed, leaving only those of proteins to scatter light. You grow used to its duller taste and appearance and they become your new normal. If you then see some whole milk, you can tell its gorgeous whiteness is different, fuller and livelier, and you can smell its alluring fat. It tastes unmistakably like cream, and you wonder how this heavenly quality could be lost on your younger, thin self who could drink it every day without worrying about his weight.

I've actually stopped drinking skimmed milk, but since I drink any milk at all so rarely, this effect endures.

I'm pretty skinny & I go for 1% or skim although I have no problem with 2% or whole. Actually there's a fair chance I'd be calcium deficient without it. I also eat veggie unless it's fish.

Milk is pretty awesome. Even though I'm lactose intolerant I take over the counter pills to allow me to drink milk. That's how much I like it.

Long live milk!

:D

Interesting I am not lactose intolerant, but I just don't drink milk anymore. IDK just came to the conclusion I don't really like it I mean anymore I prefer to get almond milk for cereal or I am curious to see how coconut milk would be for that but the thing is I like those alternatives more than actual milk. I also really want to get my hands on some of that laboratory grown meat, seems like at tasty alternative to factory farmed meat.

Oh yeah cheese is important stuff. I took a break before posting this for some gorgonzola.

Wrong. Cannabidiol is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, and is therefore illegal under federal law. State laws, however, may vary. Why risk arrest?

But it's not so much the mere discussion of an illegal drug that's against the rules as it is any possibility of attempted advertising or sale of an illegal drug through this website.

So we're going by Jim Crow laws again? CBD is sold as a prescription, available to children, immensely helpful to people like us & not really dangerous whatsoever. You would have to be allergic. I didn't see any of that either. If someone's trying to sell you a natural medicine they're just being a good capitalist, not a drug dealing spammer. Give OP a break, he's not the love guru bot.

False analogy. "Jim Crow Laws" were emplaced to keep black folk repressed and fearful. They had nothing to do with Cannabidiol.

Advertising or selling a federally-defined class-1 substance through a social website could get that website shut down by the feds. Do you really want that to happen here?

No. If it was up to me, he would have been banned from the git-go, and his threads sent to the Illuminati forum. I would have done this to protect access to this website for the rest of us.

As it is, he seems to have lost interest in  pushing illegal drugs  posting about illegal drugs on this website. I hope it stays that way.

In the United States, cannabidiol is a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This means that production, distribution and possession of CBD is illegal under U.S. federal law.

The OP previously tried to promote websites that sold this product. It looks like he's now trying something similar. I hope that he's read the rules of this website by now.
I buy CBD oil over the counter at a health food store in my area. It is not illegal. It is expensive but very available at stores.

What is the address of this "health food store"? If it's anywhere in the United States, then it's illegal under federal law. If it's in Canada or Amsterdam, then maybe not.

I live in PA. They sell several brands of CBD oil. I also know the rep of the brand that I get. Many stores carry it.
