blahyawnblah··on The efficacy of duct tape vs. cryotherapy in the treatment of the common wart (2002)
I had a plantar wart that just would not go away. Frozen off and came back 3 times. Did the duct tape thing consistently for about 10 weeks. Worked great. It didn't go away quickly but after the 10 weeks I just kind of stopped doing it and at some point a while later just randomly noticed it was gone.

blahyawnblah··on Oregon is recriminalizing drugs, dealing setback to reform movement
I disagree.

Making drugs readily available in grocery stores, even with regulations, could lead to increased accessibility, potentially attracting more users, including those who might not otherwise consider trying them. The act of selling drugs in stores could normalize drug use, leading some to underestimate the inherent dangers. Full legalization does not guarantee a decrease in addiction rates. Addiction is a complex issue with various contributing factors, and readily available drugs could easily lead to increased dependence and associated health problems. Sampling programs, especially for highly addictive drugs, raise ethical concerns and could introduce individuals to substances they wouldn't have tried otherwise.

Even with legalization, a black market might still exist, offering unregulated and potentially more dangerous substances at lower prices, especially for those unable to afford legal options.

Increased drug use could have broader societal and economic consequences. It might lead to decreased productivity, increased crime rates, and strained family structures.
