The solution to this problem is quite simple. Start by taking out your sim (if you have one) snap it in half. Throw your phone on the ground, and smash it. Now buy a dumb phone. You won't be able to access facebook, but then you won't get adds and if the phone is dumb enough it won't even have GPS capabilities. Problem solved.

You wouldn't steal a baby.

Of course I wouldn't steal a baby! Those things are annoying and needy. Why would someone want to steel one? And downloading isn't exactly steeling. Steeling implies you no longer have it because I took it from you. If I could clone a Ferrari in the same time it takes me to download a movie, you bet your ass I would.

Sounds like we need research into CBD dominant marijuana then. It would be great if we had a time release pill with all those benefits rather than having to smoke it. And if we could isolate the chemicals involved and understand them, we might be able to create more drugs with those specific individual benefits.

Yes we do, only problem, as a few people mentioned already, Cannabis is classified as a schedule I drug under the DEA's narcotic classification list meaning it's right up there with other baddies like: LSD and Heroin. That's seriously limiting the ability for researchers to get their hands on it. Also what pisses me off is that the definition of a schedule 1 drug is: that they: "have high abuse potential, no medical use, and severe safety concerns" I don't know what the safety concerns of Cannabis would be, and apparently components of it have medical uses. So I'm really confused as to why it's still federally illegal.

As long as your smart watch isn't a Gear S2. I swear this thing think I hit my daily walking goal when all i'm doing is sitting and reading a book. The other day it automatically switched to cycling while I was driving my car... at 72MPH. If I could cycle that fast I wouldn't need a car. If anyone tries to get my pin using my watch all they end up with is some weird data: He's not moving... now he just moved marginally downward... now he's accelerated left at 212 MPH..... now he's stopped.... now he's in the next county....
