Extremely low doses of THC may protect the brain from long-term cognitive damage in the wake of injury from a lack of oxygen, seizures or toxic drugs, one study in mice published in the journal Experimental Brain Research found.
Another mouse study concluded that CBD might help stop alcohol-related brain damage.

Some marijuana experts, like Mayo’s Bostwick, think this tight regulation is harmful because all the marijuana used in studies come from the same place — whereas in the real world, the plants can vary widely, leading to different effects for different people.

His friends said he was agitated after eating the brownie — one side effect of edible pot that’s not usually seen when the drug is smoked. Edibles are also more likely to make an individual paranoid and dizzy, Franson said at the AHCJ conference.

There is “absolutely no comparison” between the safety of marijuana and tobacco smoke, Dr. Tashkin added, noting that the latter is the top cause of preventable deaths in the United States. No one has ever overdosed on marijuana, and no major studies have found a significant increase in lung cancer risk from the drug.

There are known carcinogens in marijuana smoke the same that’s in tobacco smoke. We also know that there are pre-cancerous changes in the [airways] of heavy marijuana users who don’t smoke tobacco.”

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the active psychedelic ingredient in cannabis, has known anti-tumoral effects, Donald P. Tashkin, M.D., a pulmonologist at UCLA who has studied marijuana for more than 30 years, told weather.com. “It’s been shown by a large number of investigators to [reduce] growth of brain, lung, breast, prostate and thyroid cancer cells in animal models,” he said.

But research on its long-term medical effects — and its impact on healthy individuals — has been hampered by the federal government’s stance on its legality, he continued. “Pharmaceutical development has been thwarted by the federal government’s seeming unwillingness to have new scientific discovery supplant long-standing ideology.”

While 12K is very pricey for a M1911 pistol, the buyer would be paying for the novelty. These limited edition pistols are printed by 3-D printers. Also of note, unlike many other printed guns, these printed models seem to work well having survived thousands of test fire round.

When I first read the article, I though it would take some sensitive mics but, quoting the article
"Here, we describe a new acoustic cryptanalysis key extraction attack, applicable to GnuPG's current implementation of RSA. The attack can extract full 4096-bit RSA decryption keys from laptop computers (of various models), within an hour, using the sound generated by the computer during the decryption of some chosen ciphertexts. We experimentally demonstrate that such attacks can be carried out, using either a plain mobile phone placed next to the computer, or a more sensitive microphone placed 4 meters away."-

While this sounds like a great idea which could empower the consumer to make more informed choices (health care and energy use were specifically mentioned in the article), there seem to be many issues with getting the consumer data in a usable form.

The newly deposit is about 3,000 cubic miles, or about the volume of Lake Superior, and holds enough carbon dioxide to nearly double the mass of the Martian atmosphere. Mars' atmosphere has a surface pressure less than 1 percent that at Earth's surface at the lowest altitudes. The air on Mars is 95 percent carbon dioxide, while that on Earth is less than 0.04 percent CO2.
