It's not chilly in Region V. Go burn a tire or two, or three.

Not even news. The link is to a blog. What's the likely credibility of a blog?

If we needed some EnZed news we could talk about the breakup of the container ship on the reef. Not that it would have anything to do with Chilly.

Fair point about the blog link. Normally, I wouldn't use a blog as a credible source of information but, in this case, the attribution of the data was the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet. Listed below are links from other sources for this story.

Well... as Sea Wolf said further down, "nothing", or, to to take a potentially random AllChile thread, about as much as the "State of the States" thread has to do with Chile. Or Chilly. It couldn't be that Ozzies and Na'Zilluners have thinner skins than those peeps up north could it?
You are disturbing me. I am picking mushrooms.

It was reported in New Zealand too....
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/artic ... d=10777223

From the traveling I've done, it seems pretty likely to me. Young New Zealanders do smole a lot of pot. They also drink a lot, which is definitely a negative in my book about NZ.

Used to think it might be helpful to learn how to link on the forum. Not so sure now....
