Berlusconi not allowed to go on with possible philandering lifestyle as Italian pimping playboy prime minister.

Apparently camabis law in Califirnia is that it Is allowed for certain medicinal uses, but Federal law forbids it. So you have a conflict . But I learned also about the science history on cNnabis over the past several decades. One Israeli scientist was responsible for identifying the THC in cannabis which is the substance that causes radical reactions , as in rats. That was in the 1960s when cannabis use was wide in the US. The gov't was asking Mexco to spray its marijuana crops with chemicals to kill it. The problem was that some crops were sprayed just before picking and there was a scare in US that products sold had vbeen contaminated. People sent their purchases to labs to determine if their samples were clean. That was the irony. The effectiveness of the spraying did not have to be very effective, but the possibility of taint was what brought people to grow their own pot plants.

Later on that same scientist discovered what chemical the human brain produced which like THC caused particular receptors in the brain to get triggered. These receptors existed in " memoery forgetting" visual, decision making and other parts of the brain.

The amazing detail there was that the brain has a forget trigger . The reasons are likely related to the Radiolab episode about deception. There, equally capable swimmers outperformed each other if they lied to themselves (by personality) about their inabilities. That is, the swimmers who told themselves they were really good were better just for telling themselves this. This also reminds me of the "self actuizers" I have heard about recently . You should write down in text messages tocyouself "I am a confident man" . They do give people results
