they should, cannabis has 10 times the tar of cigarettes and ingesting any combustion products are detrimental to the public health, or hasn't the popular medical science publication 'proved' it yet?

Why are you on a pot site then? Do you use suppositories?

I am concerned with it. I need to get my edibles going.

I wonder about the ratio of pot smokers to eaters; edibles are a different experience, but some people take them for health and not to get high.
Suppositories are supposed to give a smoking like effect, a different experience than eating it. The feds limit the THC content of edibles in Canada, and I figure the ones you get from online dispensaries are full of pesticides and are made from outdoor grown pot.

In my 40+ years of outdoor growing, I've never sprayed pesticides on a single plant.
Here a list of what health Canada tests for and permits from LPs.

I'm talking about the concentrates you find on illegal online dispensaries and many who grow for profit don't give a shit what they use, if the bud is not tested for pesticides or fungus. LPs are another matter they are regulated, and government dope you buy at the liquor store is tested, the stuff you buy online from MOMs and at the local res is not tested for pesticides or fungus. If you wanna use concentrates it is best to grow your own and make your own or contact out the Co2 extraction to a specialist.In my 40+ years of outdoor growing, I've never sprayed pesticides on a single plant.

China defends buzzing American warship, Canadian frigate in Taiwan Strait
China's defence minister defended sailing a warship across the path of an American destroyer and Canadian frigate transiting the Taiwan Strait, telling a gathering of some of the world's top defence officials in Singapore on Sunday that such so-called "freedom of navigation" patrols are a provocation to China.
In his first international public address since becoming defence minister in March, Gen. Li Shangfu told the Shangri-La Dialogue that China doesn't have any problems with "innocent passage" but that "we must prevent attempts that try to use those freedom of navigation [patrols], that innocent passage, to exercise hegemony of navigation."
U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin told the same forum Saturday that Washington would not "flinch in the face of bullying or coercion" from China and would continue regularly sailing through and flying over the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea to emphasize they are international waters, countering Beijing's sweeping territorial claims.
Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand said Canada would continue to sail where international law allows, including the strait, and that "actors in this region must engage responsibly."
On Saturday, a U.S. guided-missile destroyer and a Canadian frigate (HMCS Montreal) were intercepted by a Chinese warship as they transited the strait between the self-governed island of Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, and mainland China.
The Chinese vessel overtook the American ship and then veered across its bow at a distance of about 140 metres in an "unsafe manner," according to the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
Additionally, the U.S. has said a Chinese J-16 fighter jet late last month "performed an unnecessarily aggressive manoeuvre" while intercepting a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea, flying directly in front of the plane's nose.
Those and previous incidents have raised concerns of a possible accident occurring that could lead to an escalation between the two nations at a time when tensions are already high.
He accused the U.S. and others of "meddling in China's internal affairs" by providing Taiwan with defence support and training, and conducting high-level diplomatic visits.
"China stays committed to the path of peaceful development, but we will never hesitate to defend our legitimate rights and interests, let alone sacrifice the nation's core interests," he said.
"As the lyrics of a well-known Chinese song go: 'When friends visit us, we welcome them with fine wine. When jackals or wolves come, we will face them with shotguns."'
In his speech the previous day, Austin broadly outlined the U.S. vision for a "free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific within a world of rules and rights."
In the pursuit of such, Austin said the U.S. was stepping up planning, co-ordination and training with "friends from the East China Sea to the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean" with shared goals "to deter aggression and to deepen the rules and norms that promote prosperity and prevent conflict."
Li scoffed at the notion, saying "some country takes a selective approach to rules and international laws."
"It likes forcing its own rules on others," he said. "Its so-called 'rules-based international order' never tells you what the rules are and who made these rules."
By contrast, he said, "we practise multilateralism and pursue win-win co-operation."
Li is under American sanctions that are part of a broad package of measures against Russia — but predate its invasion of Ukraine — that were imposed in 2018 over Li's involvement in China's purchase of combat aircraft and anti-aircraft missiles from Moscow.
The sanctions, which broadly prevent Li from doing business in the United States, do not prevent him from holding official talks, American defence officials have said.
Still, he refused Austin's invitation to talk on the sidelines of the conference, though the two did shake hands before sitting down at opposite sides of the same table together as the forum opened Friday.
Austin said that was not enough.
"A cordial handshake over dinner is no substitute for a substantive engagement," Austin said.
The U.S. has noted that since 2021 — well before Li became defence minister — China has declined or failed to respond to more than a dozen requests from the U.S. Defence Department to talk with senior leaders, as well as multiple requests for standing dialogues and working-level engagements.
Li said "China is open to communications between our two countries and also between our two militaries," but without mentioning the sanctions, said exchanges had to be "based on mutual respect."
"That is a very fundamental principle," he said. "If we do not even have mutual respect, than our communications will not be productive."
He said he recognized that any "severe conflict or confrontation between China and the U.S. will be an unbearable disaster for the world," and that the two countries need to find ways to improve relations, saying they were "at a record low."
"History has proven time and again that both China and the United States will benefit from co-operation and lose from confrontation," he said.
"China seeks to develop a new type of major-country relationship with the United States. As for the U.S. side, it needs to act with sincerity, match its words with deeds, and take concrete actions together with China to stabilize the relations and prevent further deterioration," Li said.

The helmets and small arms are of more use in Ukraine right now and the Russian won't be attacking NATO any time soon. We can make up for it when the demand for arms and equipment is reduced. NATO doesn't need that much shit right now since a lot of it is being used in Ukraine killing and pinning down Russians and when the Ukrainians are done with them, they will be fucked for a decade at least.
I'm pretty sure I know where the equipment and arms went and that it won't be required for a while to fend off Russia.

I ran out of my Export "A" Green, (The Green Death!), on a trip to southern Oregon in '92 and was dead broke too so started smoking Camel filter 100s at a buck a pack and smoked those suckers for years after getting home to BC. I was only 3 miles from the Aldergrove border crossing and from there was about 8 miles to the little picturesque Dutch town of Lynden, WA. Come to think of it about 20 years prior I came down here to go skydiving. I'd like to do that again.
Every 2 weeks after payday I'd scoot down there for a couple cartons of smokes and hide them under the back seat of my chevy. On the way back was a dairy where we'd stop for cheese, milk etc at about half price as home. Ice cream cones for the kids so when we pulled up at customs I'd declare the dairy stuff, at 1% duty, and get waved thru . . . most times. 3 times over about a 5 year period we got pulled aside for 'further inspection'. Some stories about how that worked out but they never found my smokes or liquor.
Got all sorts of cool Camel stuff cashing in the Camel Bux and having everything shipped to my uncle's addy in Oregon. Mom would go down there 3 or 4 times a year in the motor home and bring it back for me. 2 huge beach towels, fishing vest, tyvek jacket, etc etc.
Now tobacco here is a buck a gram FFS and the wife and I are working up the courage to quit ASAP. $20 for a 25 pack at a gas station!
At least all the taxes I've paid on smokes over the years will let me feel less guilty about what it's gonna cost for that new set of lungs.

That's my gig the last decade or so. I'll have maybe 3 or 4 single hits in a pipe in the evenings but take a good dollop of hi-cbd oil a couple hours before I want to go to bed. Damn near out so time to wash some pot with icy cold ISO. My vacuum attachment and other glass goodies is in but at a friend's post office as she has an addy in town but I only have a PO box and they wouldn't deliver to that. Just goes to MY post office and I go pick it up like she's going to have to do now. I may have to be there as ID from the addressee has to be shown F'n BS. They got their money so WhyTF do they care where it goes if it's going by post anyway.
Same with some wheels I ordered for my boat from them. Oh well. $30 cheaper than amazon and free shipping too. Exact same set of wheels so I can get my boat in the water easy on my own.
