All three victims were taken to Stroger Hospital for treatment.

POPE DIES--88

(ZH)Vatican News reports that Pope Francis died at the age of 88 at 7:35 a.m. local time (1:35 a.m. EST). Earlier this year, he experienced a severe health crisis that resulted in over a month of hospitalization due to double pneumonia.

GRA:As forecast here. The human body--at his age--cannot tolerate the high doses of anti-biotics required to
get rid of double pneumonia. Let's hope for a replacement Pope who is more conservative in his religious and political beliefs.

REGULAR MARIJUANA USE CAUSES MANY PROBLEMS,INCLUDING A HIGHER RISK OF DEMENTIA

GRA:I can count on one hand the number of times I smoked pot--not multiple counts on that hand either.

(CNN)Sunday was 420 day, when lovers of marijuana got together to celebrate their fondness for weed. Yet research shows that regular users of marijuana are at risk for serious conditions, including strokes, heart attacks, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure and myocarditis, which is an inflammation of the heart muscle.

Now, an increased risk of dementia can be added to the list, according to a large study of more than 6 million people published April 14 in the journal JAMA Neurology.


More frequent marijuana use may damage an important memory skill

“Someone who has an emergency room visit or hospitalization due to cannabis has a 23% increased risk of dementia within five years compared to someone who was at the hospital for another reason. They have a 72% greater risk compared to the general population,” said study coauthor Dr. Daniel Myran, an assistant professor in the department of family medicine at the University of Ottawa in Canada.


“Those numbers have already factored out other reasons for dementia, such as age, sex, mental health or substance use, and whether or not you have chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease,” Myran said.

Earlier research shows marijuana users are nearly 25% more likely to need emergency care and hospitalization than nonusers.

“However, this is not a study that anyone should look at and say, ‘Jury’s in, and cannabis use causes dementia,’” Myran said. “This is a study that brings up a concerning association that fits within a growing body of research.”

GRA:And they can't drive for s**t.
