One Major Side Effect of Smoking Marijuana, New Study Shows
A new study has found there may be a major side effect to smoking marijuana: Impairment while driving. Researchers from AAA found that people who drank alcohol and then smoked marijuana were more likely to commit violations such as running red lights, speeding and distracted driving. Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss this urgent news: Here's How You Can Catch COVID Even If You're Vaccinated.The Cannabis and Alcohol Combo Can Lead To People "Driving Distracted," Study Finds"If you choose to use cannabis and use alcohol, generally you tend to be the type of person who takes more risk while driving, like running red lights, speeding, and driving distracted," said Skylar McKinley, Regional Director of Public Affairs for AAA Colorado. That's what KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs, Colorado, reported yesterday afternoon. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, in 2019 there were 49 traffic fatalities in Colorado involving someone with THC above the legal limit. The following year, the Colorado Springs Police Department arrested 1,652 people for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol."We think these stories are powerful," said Sam Cole, Regional Communications Manager of the Colorado Department of Transportation. "When cannabis users hear them, we think it may change some perceptions and beliefs, and get them to understand the dangers of impaired driving better."According to the National Institutes Of Health, the use of cannabis has been linked to an increased risk of motor vehicle crashes. "Some people who use cannabis develop cannabis use disorder, which has symptoms such as craving, withdrawal, lack of control, and negative effects on personal and professional responsibilities," the NIH says.This has not stopped several states and localities from legalizing marijuana in the past few months, with the most visible being New York. The New York Times reported this month that New Yorkers are permitted to smoke cannabis in public wherever smoking tobacco is allowed, excepting schools, workplaces or inside a car. In New York City, it is banned in parks, beaches, boardwalks, pedestrian plazas and playgrounds, where tobacco smoking is banned. So use with caution, and to get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

New York Movie Theaters Demand Capacity Rise to 50% by Memorial Weekend
After months of hammering at the door and demanding that they be allowed to increase their capacity limits, cinemas in New York got news from Gov. Andrew Cuomo that COVID restrictions would be loosened from 25% audience capacity to 33% audience capacity starting April 26. But one of the state’s top theater owners and industry lobbyists says that’s not enough. “We’re glad that we haven’t been completely ignored and that a step towards progress has been made, but we have made it very clear that theaters need to have the audience limit raised to 50% by Memorial Day weekend to survive financially,” Joe Masher, COO of Bowtie Cinemas and head of the National Association of Theater Owners’ New York division told TheWrap. “What New York is doing to us right now is simply doing damage to a worldwide industry.” Prior to Cuomo’s announcement, New York was one of the last two states in the country, along with Pennsylvania, to require 25% capacity limits for all of its counties. While some states enforce such a limit on a county-by-county basis — including California, Colorado and Oregon — major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco raised their limits to 50% earlier...Read original story New York Movie Theaters Demand Capacity Rise to 50% by Memorial Weekend At TheWrap

Dr. Fauci Says How Precisely You Can Catch COVID
Despite the fact that coronavirus vaccines are being administered, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has said: "Now's the time to double down" on public health measures "because you don't want to let your guard down thinking that vaccines are going to come to the rescue." With cases and deaths rising nationwide, he's got a point. Read on to see how to avoid COVID at this moment—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss this urgent news: Here's How You Can Catch COVID Even If You're Vaccinated. 1 If You Don't Get Your COVID-19 Vaccine As Soon as You Can, You Could Catch COVID-19 Now every adult who is qualified to get a COVID vaccine is eligible. Once 75% or more of us have it—or so, Dr. Fauci says don't get too hung up on the number—"we'll create a veil of protection in our country that we'll be able to put an end to this outbreak," says Fauci. "So it's a very critical period." Is the vaccine safe, you may be wondering? It was developed so quickly after all. "Was that reckless speed? And is that dangerous?" said Fauci. "And the answer to that is absolutely not because the speed is merely a reflection of the extraordinary advances in the science of vaccine platform technology, which has allowed us without compromising safety and without compromising scientific integrity to do something in a matter of months that would normally have taken years." 2 If You Delay Getting Your Vaccine Because You Worry Over Lasting Side Effects, You Are At Risk Fauci reiterated that the vaccines are safe and effective, with only mild side effects, like a pain in the arm or tiredness, if any, despite the possible connection between the Johnson&Johnson vaccine and blood clots. "If you look at the history of vaccinology, there have been virtually no adverse events that are realized years after you've taken the vaccine," he said. "I mean, it's just unheard of…Before a vaccine is even allowed to be put into someone's arm," thanks to testing, "you're already beyond the point where almost all of the history of adverse events have occurred. So although it's not a hundred percent chance that you're not going to have a late effect in some people, it is extraordinarily that you're going to see that." 3 You Must Adhere to "Universal Wearing of Masks" "The idea about having everyone for at least 100 days—at least—wear a mask. Everyone uniformly, so we don't have disparities where some people are adhering to public health measures and others are not," Dr. Fauci has said of President Joe Biden's desire for everyone to wear masks. Because you may spread COVID even after vaccination, it's important to wear a mask. 4 You Must Keep "Physical Distance" "Social distancing, also called 'physical distancing,' means keeping a safe space between yourself and other people who are not from your household," said the CDC. "To practice social or physical distancing, stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms' length) from other people who are not from your household in both indoor and outdoor spaces." 5 You Must Avoid "Crowds in Congregate Settings" Fauci has wanted against crowds but also groups of people gathering indoors. New York had once capped get-togethers at 10 people. "Ten may even be a bit too much," Fauci has said. "It's not only the number, it's the people who might be coming in from out of town. You want to make sure you don't have people who just got off a plane or a train. That's even more risky than the absolute number."He says indoor dining is still risky. So is travel.RELATED: Most COVID Patients Did This Before Getting Sick 6 You Must Wash "Your Hands as Frequently as You Can" If you touch anything that might have COVID on it, wash your hands. That's more important than washing, say, a bag of groceries. "I do have a bag that I bring into my house. Instead of worrying about the bag, I'll open the bag, and then I'll just wash my hands thoroughly, which is what you should do," Fauci told Yahoo Finance's All Markets Summit. "If you look at the transmissibility, the epidemiology that we have a lot of experience with now, that is very likely a very, very minor, minor aspect of transmissibility. We can't say it's zero, it certainly is real and is finite, but it's minus," Fauci said. 7 How to Stay Safe During This Pandemic "Now we're on the threshold of the vaccine coming to the rescue at the same time, we have a terrible burden of infection and disease," says Fauci. "That's the reason why the one thing we don't want people to say as well, 'vaccines are here, we can just relax public health measures.' You can't—we have to even more so double down now on things….Ultimately vaccines will come to the rescue, but it will take several months before they do." And to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

The Most Healthy Benefits of Marijuana, According to Doctors
It's 4/20, a day that has become synonymous with marijuana usage, so what better time to consider the medical benefits of marijuana, according to doctors (as well as the many risks). "Medical marijuana is available as an oil, pill, vaporized liquid and nasal spray, as dried leaves and buds, and as the plant itself," say the experts at the Mayo Clinic. "The herb is typically used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with cancer treatment, loss of appetite and weight loss associated with HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, chronic pain and muscle spasms. Research on the use of marijuana for specific conditions shows" the following. Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss this urgent news: Here's How You Can Catch COVID Even If You're Vaccinated. 1 Marijuana Might Help Your Glaucoma "Marijuana might reduce the pressure in the eye caused by this eye condition," says the Mayo Clinic. "However, the effect appears to last only a few hours. Some findings indicate that marijuana may decrease blood flow to the optic nerve, increasing the risk for vision loss in people with glaucoma." 2 Marijuana Might Help Nausea and Vomiting Associated with Cancer Treatment "Research has shown that an active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), effectively reduces nausea and vomiting in people undergoing chemotherapy," says the Mayo Clinic. 3 Marijuana Might Help With Your Pain "Marijuana use might reduce the intensity of shooting or burning pain often due to nerve damage (neuropathic pain) caused by HIV, diabetes and other conditions," says the Mayo Clinic. 4 Marijuana Might Help With Your Spasticity "Marijuana use might reduce muscle stiffness or spasms and urinary frequency caused by multiple sclerosis," says the Mayo Clinic. "It's not clear if marijuana effectively treats seizures."RELATED: Signs You're Getting One of the "Most Deadly" Cancers 5 Final Word From the Doctors—"Use Caution" "Evidence has shown that marijuana can effectively treat chemotherapy-induced nausea. It might also reduce muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis and decrease the intensity of neuropathic pain," says the Mayo Clinic. "However, marijuana use can cause cognitive impairment and should be used with caution if you have a mental health condition. In many places marijuana use is considered illegal for any purpose."They note that "medical marijuana use is generally considered safe" but can also cause these extensive side effects:HeadachesDry mouth and dry eyesLightheadedness and dizzinessDrowsinessFatigueNausea and vomitingDisorientationHallucinationsIncreased heart rateIncreased appetiteFor more warnings from the Mayo Clinic, see here, and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Signs Your Illness is Actually Coronavirus in Disguise.

We have lost a brilliant designer, a true gentleman. I was so honored to follow in his shadow on many productions. A light has dimmed in our universe. He taught me so much, and helped me so much. I will truly miss him. Everything was told with a very funny Hollywood story.” The Costume Designers Guild also confirmed the news in a statement Monday on Facebook: “Legendary English costume designer Anthony Powell passed away last weekend. He will be celebrated in a small, private gathering due to COVID restrictions and is survived by two nieces,” A master of period detail, he earned his Oscars for “Travels With My Aunt” (1972), the Agatha Christie adaptation “Death on the Nile” (1978) and “Tess” (1979). He received additional nominations for two more fantasy-oriented films, Steven Spielberg’s 1991 take on Peter Pan, “Hook” and for Disney’s live-action 2000 film “102 Dalmatians.” Also Read: Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2021 (Photos) His feature credits also include “Papillon” (1973), “Buffalo Bill and the Indians” (1976), “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” (1984) and “101 Dalmatians” (1996) and the British spy caper “The Avengers” (1998) with Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman and Sean Connery.
