re: Women are turning to cannabis for help with medical issues

Don't fool yourself, the vast majority are self medicating their self generated anxiety, and nothing more.
If it's in perimenopause/menopause, it's only self generated in the sense that hormonal fluctuations (particularly decreases in estrogen) can and do cause anxiety.

Yet there was ZERO data in the entire article.
Then that's a failure of the article. Not that data doesn't exist.
Science Direct: Cannabidiol therapy for symptom relief in Endometriosis
Science Direct: Medical cannabis in the management of Anxiety disorders
Because of the lack of legalization in the US, studies here are going to be limited (especially for perimenopause/menopause which have long been swept under the rug for these kind of studies).

I read the source novel and really enjoyed the first movie. It's one of my yearly Halloween movie watches. My question is this....are they completely throwing out the origin of the Owens curse as established in the novel and the first film? According to both, Maria was the first Owens witch and she was banished to a tiny island off the coast of Massachusetts. The description of the sequel says they are traveling to the U.K. to uncover the source of the curse and their magical powers.
That's a reasonable question. In the book Practical Magic you're given the impression that the curse may have been broken (according to the book that follows, its not) but it's treated more definitively in the movie that it is broken.
So I'm also interested in seeing how they handle that part of it because in the books its still the same curse/origin.
As far as why they travel, in The Book of Magic there is a definitive reason they're traveling (that I can't reveal without spoiling quite a bit).
If you enjoyed the first book, I recommend you read the others. It's a good series and adds quite a bit beyond the movie (especially enjoy the prequel about the aunts).

Interested in seeing how closely they follow The Book of Magic (last book in Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic series).

I know in AZ and LA we've had medicsl access for years and I've yet to see any resistance to a physician prescribing it, oftentimes as a first or second option.
The bourbon industry here lobbies pretty hard against THC and several prominent state politicians are in their pockets. Damon Thayer wouldn't even let it come to a floor vote for several years because of it. We'll likely be one of the last states to fully legalize as a result (unless the feds do it).

Did your doctor resist prescribing THC or CBD as a possible alternative therapy?
Medical was just passed here in Kentucky in the last year and its stupidly restrictive.

Which means that their doctors refused to prescribe what Facebook told them that they needed.
As someone with endometriosis (diagnosed with laparoscopy in my 20s, controlled with surgery and birth control), my doctor would prescribe shite like opioids or NSAIDs for pain from the endo. I don't want to be a zombie on pain meds or have my stomach torn up from the NSAIDs (at the strength they need to be to manage the pain). The other alternative is medication like Lupron that puts you in a "temporary" menopause to shrink lesions and reduce pain, but there's a chance you don't come back out of the menopause.
THC/CBD combo works to reduce pain without zoinking me out or causing stomach issues.

Scheffler benefitted from LIV more than anybody else. Dude has won majors without having to face the best golfers of his time.
What majors has he won that the LIV guys weren't playing in?
Masters Tournament wins: 2022 (D. Johnson 12th here), 2024 (DeChambeau was 6th, Hatton was 9th)
PGA Championship: 2025 (DeChambeau was 2nd here, Rahm 8th, )
The Open Championship: 2025 (DeChambeau was 10th here, Hatton 16th, Rahm 34th)
Who is it that he hasn't faced? I'll hang up and listen.

There’s a thread from yesterday where I said essentially the same thing. They’ve done those blind taste tests and the wine snobs couldn’t tell the difference between a $15 bottle and a $500 bottle.
Had a cousin that was a sommelier, he would tell you that the price doesn’t always dictate the quality.

No way to really prove it but I wonder if that’s a function of excess screen time and TikToks of those people with hyper clean homes and organizational methods
If someone has clinical OCD (to where it's diagnosable), it's typically beyond just enhancement by screen time (and we get into the whole obsessions vs compulsions, hoarding, etc. subcategories). It's almost always been lifelong symptoms as well.
Now if you if you want to say your scenario is increasing anxiety, depression (especially when folks are comparing themselves to these people), etc., absolutely.
It's also worth noting the OCD is a pretty common comorbidity with significant trauma-linked diagnoses (think childhood abuse, sexual abuse, etc). And I specialize in working with trauma, so I'm seeing a much higher percentage than population norms.

Talk to the vet. They may be able to find a good placement with a foster who deals with senior cat care if you feel like you can’t manage.
If it’s healthy no reason to put it down.

re: I'm not sure what Lena Dunham is accusing Adam Driver of here

So a few years back, someone with some serious parasocial issues, made a PowerPoint of "evidence" that Antonoff and Lorde had a relationship. And that's allegedly who she's talking about.
Reddit link with a link to the Power Point - So weird
Apparently Lena attempted to contact the person that created the PowerPoint (from your article).

She writes that she was aware of the online discourse surrounding her relationship, particularly one viral PowerPoint tracking Antonoff’s alleged affair with Lorde (which readers can assume is the “teen pop star” Dunham refers to earlier in the book). They were “so convincing that they had me rethinking events that I myself had been present for,” she writes. She DM’d the maker of the PowerPoint, Hillary Benton, prove that “she was in on the joke.” But when Benton asked if she wanted to be on her podcast, she declined.
