Cannabis goes legal in Canada today… I should
order a pizza!

The law is strict about smoking and driving: zero tolerance. But
smells do linger. Is there a test for c-intoxication, or am I being
picky?

Read an interesting short yesterday, on Cyberpresse, about lactose intolerance. 

Worldwide, 60% of the population still finds it hard to digest milk products but, among

European populations, this is a mere 10%.

With a little more digging, found out that l-intolerance is not an absolute

thing, but exists in degrees. It all comes down to how much of the digestive

enzyme lactase one’s body is able to produce.

For the intolerant, though, life can be miserable. There are milk by-products

in quite a few products, soups, crackers and so on. Other than by the severity

of symptoms, one can ask for a diagnostic test for hydrogen on one’s breath

a few hours after eating dairy. If hydrogen levels are high, it has built up in

one’s intestines; that is the discomfort of intolerance.
