Index fund. Just stuff it in an index fund with a Roth IRA if you don’t have any debt to pay off. Ignore it for as long as you can and treat it as your emergency “get out of jail free card” for when life sucker punches you later on. It happens to everyone, so having this in savings for maybe decades first is gonna be worth it.

This. The hemp paper stuff was just the final nail in the coffin. It’s why Hearst got behind a big anti-cannabis propaganda campaign.

Yes legalize. It shouldn’t have been banned to begin with. It makes more sense to ban alcohol than cannabis if we’re just talking from a public safety perspective. It was actually banned because the lumber industry wanted to chop down trees for paper rather than letting hemp take the lead.

Thank you! Very enlightening (heh)

Why not use rechargeable lanterns, like this one?

Happy to help! I love uncommon words and love to see them used correctly

Vis a vis is used in an uncommon way here. It typically means “in relation to”, “compared with” or “regarding”

“The poodle needs more grooming vis a vis most other breeds of dog”

“The poodle needs more grooming compared to most other breeds of dog”

The use of erudite is slightly wrong. It’s an adjective meaning knowledgeable, but you used it like a noun.

“Steve is really erudite”

“Steve is really well-read”

I hear it’s pretty expensive to hire Spiders Georg this time of year, though.
