Reply to comment by clashmt in At CBD:THC ratios most common in medicinal and recreational cannabis products, no evidence found that adding CBD protects against the impairment or subjective effects of THC/cannabis - a randomised double-blind trial with 46 people. by drdrugsandbrains

Ok all science based study mathematics aside, if it was really ok to study something on just 46 people and then conclude how all of humanity would react to it, the fda would have been able to clear the Covid vaccines in an afternoon. I understand where you are coming from but the ask from this sample group is unrealistic for the claims

Thank you, I really appreciate the response. This actually will help me. I’ve had a lingering suspicion that if I can’t get excited about something I really just need to reevaluate it’s relevance to the plot.

I have a really specific question about writing a novel. I’ve personally been working on one for many years. I have a really good story and have outlined it down to what actually happens in each chapter. Now I’ve got 50% of it written but have the rest of the book to basically fill in with content. I feel like I’m just writing trashy filler for these parts. There are essential plot points that take place over these filler chapters, but the feel of them doesn’t seem to have any soul, whereas the rest of the story I have written has all only come when I’ve felt particularly inspired. I’ve also written and rewritten the half of the book I have finished several times, because honestly every time I get into a new author (for my personal reading) it seems to change my writing, so when I go back and reread what I have written, I decide it’s crap and rewrite it in my new more blended style.

So I guess, how do you write the boring parts of your book. How do you still make them good? Do you just simply wait for inspiration, because that’s pretty much what I’ve been doing so far. I love my story so much, I don’t think there is justice in just rushing it for the sake of finishing it…

Actually was going to say that if there ever is a problem in the air, it’s likely pilot error is the cause, or at least involved. Just didn’t want to sound morbid

That’s a pretty close call, and microbursts are still one of the perils of flying today, unfortunately. That being said, it’s still by far the safest form of travel.
