It’s more or less the European version of American Idol, so I can see the protests being a sizable thing

And life-long immunosuppressants with the constant mortal fear of a cough or runny nose. Sepsis is no joke and can easily develop in a matter of hours if you don’t have a healthy immune system.

Just like those charlatans peddling water with baking soda-err… I mean alkaline water.

Poor kids

The very least, he should have been banned. Instead, just a slap on the wrist

Or both…

For people curious, here’s a complete video. I skimmed through it and it looks like it starts to really devolve a bit after 40 minutes.

Hmm… A special pager…

InB4 BOOM

Aren’t nuclear and volcanic winters the only things that could reverse climate change?

Just increase the size of our seed vault/s.

There should be a paint can in the scene.

Russia is also already instigating it with having North Korean troops in the combat zone. It’ll just be a tit-for-tat response.

I’d more call it politicism, as it’s more criticizing the political state and not someones origin/heritage.

I’m gonna hazard a guess it’s supposed to be something like “Kick me,” but with a bit of it unintelligible, I could be way off.

Overhead?

They don’t really mention if it’s illegal or not to their reasoning. They only use three parameters for the decision.

They argue for points 2 (health risk) and 3 (commonly abused), both of which cigarettes and alcohol fit right in, but are unrestricted.

That would make sense if they were looking for CBD, which is the chemical that causes the relaxing effect of weed, not THC which more or less just gives the “high” feeling. You can easily get CBD from hemp and WADA actually removed it from their ban list in 2019.

There are also plenty of allowed substances that can help you relax, even prescription-only. They would have to ban things like; alcohol (never gonna happen), dramamine (antiemetic), diphenhydramine (antihistamine), gabapentin (anticonvulsant, Rx-only), etc… These, while primarily used for other purposes, all are occasionally used for their sedating effects and to my knowledge are all allowed.

There was also the argument that while yes, it does help with relaxing, it will actually decrease performance on the whole.

Meanwhile Sha’Carri (US running) was DQ’d previously for having THC in her system. Still trying to wrap my head around how pot can help you run faster.

They weren’t concerned about CBD or anything else, just the psychoactive THC.
