Respectfully, I’ve never met a great investor or business person who speaks with such confidence and certainty about things without the benefit of actual data. The great investors/business people I know, are always thinking critically and aware that they have their own biases, which may affect the lens thru which they see things. Otherwise, you end up being one of those people that are “often wrong and never in doubt.”
Sorry to spoil the party But I’ve never met a successful person who smokes weed. Why? Successful people have a drive in them that they are addicted to They would never jeopardise this eternal drive Weed is a threat on drive. #420day

In addition to the fact that veterans can’t access this important medicine, which the FDA recently recommended be rescheduled, these veterans are also disqualified from owning a gun if they are using cannabis w a doctors authorization in any of the states that have legal medical cannabis programs. Why isn’t the gun lobby working to protect their rights? @NRA
Add VETERANS to the list of groups pushing Biden to ease federal cannabis restrictions “We hope that in treating the wounds of war… our servicemembers & veterans would have access to the widest array of possible treatments.” Letter obtained 1st @NBCNews nbcnews.com/politics/white-h…

An apology made on behalf of another institution, citing someone else's responsibility, while instructing MP’s to try and wipe the parliamentary record is not an apology. #cdnpoli – at Ottawa, Ontario

If a female founder is assertive, they're "aggressive." If a male founder is assertive, they're "confident." Who would you invest in?
