Anyone else oberserved these fascintating - and little understood - creatures the dwell in the amniotic fluid that can be found on the surface of our eyes?
😂 "Eye-worms." I like that a helluva lot better than what the eye docs call them: floaters. What you are seeing are strings of actual, loose cells floating around in the vitreous humor - the fluid inside the eyeball. These cells come from the inner cellular lining of the eyeball.
"Eye-worms." I'd trademark that. Great term.
AC: you make an important point that a lot of people (myself included) missed: the difference between the effect of THC, per se, on the mind/body, and smoking the weed. Bringing smoke into the lungs - especially habitually - is never a good deal; and THC has demonstrated positive medical uses. Unfortunately (as I and others keeping pointing out) many (and with all due respect) young people are not gonna smoke MJ responsibly, especially if you have an addictive personality.
I still feel the greatest "irony" is that the legal drugs are among the most dangerous (alcohol has worse DTs than heroin). But "irony" is being kind. It wouldn't surpirse me if the reason pot isn't legal is because it isn't physically addictive, so there's less guarantee of a "captive" market.
