There's an interesting phenomenon happening these days. A generation that came of age as marijuana came onto the scene is now rediscovering it. Marijuana has come a long way, from shady street corner dealers to lucrative businesses.And one of the fastest-growing customer bases has been baby boomers."I smoke every day as my expectorant in the morning because of a lung issue maybe from the pulmonary embolism," Keith Evanovich said, Evanovich is one of the many older Americans flocking to marijuana.A work injury the early 2000s left him partially paralyzed, and his struggles continued as he dealt with other health issues, weighing about 300 pounds at one point."I don't want to be that guy that's going to go 'hey I'm fat - I'm overweight - my waist was like 52 inches.' Being a man and having two boys and being crippled like I was, you can't do a lot," Evanovich said. But since he started using marijuana several years ago, he is in better shape. Evanovich and his wife are now making different types of cannabis products on their own."I mean it's diet too, but I mean you know if you don't exercise. I'm not saying cannabis can cure you like that," Evanovich said. Recent studies show aging baby boomers who turn to cannabis are usually seeking to treat pains and diseases that come with old age.That's true for cancer survivor Cindy Brown. But now, she's using cannabis not just for its medicinal benefits."I also put the CBD and the THC in my coconut oil for my face moisturizer, and I noticed that I have less little tiny wrinkles," Brown said. Others like Bobbie Friedman use marijuana because they can't tolerate opioids."They make me throw up. When you have pain, the last thing you want to do is throw up," said physical therapist Bobbie Friedman.But as older Americans go green in their golden years, significant questions remain: What are the side effects of long term marijuana use, and how does it affect seniors?Dr. Upinder Singh calls this "uncharted territory.""The biggest problem with it is there have been not enough definitive studies. The problem with cannabis is that it is treated totally different than any other regular medicine which comes to the market after being FDA approved," Singh said.That's because the federal government still outlaws cannabis, classified as a Schedule I drug along with heroin, which means it has no therapeutic value."Anything you put in your body can have serious repercussions. people need to be mindful and careful that nothing is without side effects or problems," Singh said. However, those who find relief from cannabis think the benefits outweigh the unknown."It gives me the quality of life. That's what I tell everybody at the gym. Hey man, there's nothing wrong with smoking weed," Evanovich said. 2782

The worst may be over for Alabama — but much of the state will be drenched this weekend in another round of severe weather.Severe storms will unleash heavy winds, rain and thunderstorms on northern parts of the state Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, and will include a "risk of isolated tornadoes," The National Weather service said.The county hardest hit by last weekend's tornado, Lee County, is in the southeast part of the state. Storms forecast across the South Tornado risks and severe storms are forecast across the South. While they will likely not hit areas devastated by Sunday's tornadoes, "you can't rule out the possibility of storms moving into the region," CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam said.Heavy rain and thunderstorms will swipe across the Great Plains on Saturday, according to the 825

There are so many options when a person goes into a supplement store, from vitamins to minerals and protein powders and more.The latest one to grow in popularity? Collagen. At Supplement Giant, owner Adam Watts says collagen powder is a popular product.“Collagen is actually the most abundant amount of protein in our body,” Watts said.Collagen represents 30 percent of a human body’s protein content.“It’s found in animal bones ligaments and tendons again not traditionally part of our diet anymore,” he said.Most brands sell collagen as a great supplement to take to improve a person’s hair, skin, fingernails, and bone and joint health.“If you have a deficiency of collagen in your skin it can decrease you skin health which can cause stretch marks, dark spots, infections,” Watts said.He suggests people age 30 and older take a collagen supplement.“After the age of 30, collagen decreases by 1 percent, so by the time you're 50, you've lost 20 percent of your collagen,” he said. "If you have injuries, collagen is going to help and repair tissue." Registered Dietician Jessica Crandall Snyder said she recommends food as medicine, not supplements."Being active on a daily basis you are actually helping to re-synthesize your collagen," she said, "So supplemental sources from protein powders may not be the way for you to get adequate nutrition."While Adam Watts sells collagen powder at whole sale, other stores start the product at per container.But eggs, wild salmon, tomatoes, pumpkin and chia seeds are affordable foods that aid in collagen production.The experts say collagen powder works, but make sure it’s not your main source of protein. 1668

The suicide of Jeffrey Epstein is bringing attention to what employees say is a broader problem at short-staffed budget-constrained federal prisons where employees who aren't prison guards are doing guard duty and overtime shifts regularly.Attorney General William Barr said Monday that "serious irregularities" were found at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, long thought to be a well-run facility that has been used to house high-profile prisoners who require highly secure conditions.In the case of Epstein, at least one of the two employees on duty at the time was not part of the regular detention workforce but was filling in as a guard, according to a person briefed on the matter. The person's regular position is not publicly known.Budget cuts and hiring freezes first put in place at the beginning of the Trump administration have taken a toll at law enforcement agencies including the federal Bureau of Prisons, employees say.After years of complaints, Barr lifted the hiring freeze in April.But employees say the measures the bureau has had to take to live with budget restraints have taken a toll, including at the MCC.One of those measures used is called "augmentation" and allows for workers who were hired as teachers and cooks to be trained to fill in at posts normally manned by trained detention officers.One of the guards who was on duty during Epstein's death was filling in for regular guards."It's due to understaffing. It's due to not having enough correctional officers," Serene Gregg, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3148, which represents employees at the MCC."They would be performing the functions of correctional officers," Gregg said.The Bureau of Prisons declined to comment and referred to Barr's comments.Push to put Epstein in general populationEpstein's attorneys, who spent as many as 12 hours a day meeting with him, had pushed the prison to move Epstein into the facility's general population, a person briefed on the matter said. One of the arguments they made was that he was doing well and that he could use an improvement in his living conditions.Epstein's lawyers didn't respond to a request for comment.The decision to move him from suicide watch occurred after the prison staff conducted daily psychological assessments and, according to the person briefed on the matter, determined it was safe for him to be returned to the prison's special housing unit, which is a section more restricted than general population.When Epstein was taken off suicide watch on July 29, days after his first suicide attempt, he was returned to the facility's special housing unit, where normal protocol calls for him to be housed with a cellmate and to be checked on every 30 minutes.Epstein's cellmate was moved out on Friday, a day before Epstein was found dead, a person briefed on the matter said. In the hours before his death was discovered, there were no checks made, the person said.Both guards were working overtime shifts, but it's unclear whether that was mandatory. One person familiar with the matter said both employees volunteered. Union officials say that the overtime was mandatory.Gregg claimed it's not uncommon at the MCC for employees to work 17-and 18-hour-days and are not allowed to refuse the mandatory overtimes."A lot of them are working mandatory overtime three or four times a week," Gregg said. "There's no one to relieve you at end of an eight-hour shift." 3477
