Yeah except it's just being used not for the best interest of the patient, but for hospitals and cost cutting.

Because we let religion have too much say on politics.

Ashfield has a nice fall festival in October. There’s a fun corn maze in Charlemont. Definitely check out MassMoCA in North Adams and The Clark in Williamstown.

It was considered part of New Hampshire and New York, and there was a dispute between the two colonies as to who had control of the lands of Vermont..

Not clear if it is zoned properly tor a dispensary. May have to go to town meeting to change the zoning to Commercial Industrial, where dispensaries are allowed.
Transfer of license is a shot in the dark, and at a new location, new owners, so a complete regulatory review is required.

It's a slippery slope... How long do you really think it's going to take our for-profit health system to go from assisting suicide, to recommending or pushing it to save $.
I'm probably in the minority but if you want to leave the earthly plane that badly, it's not too hard to take care of it yourself. Definitely not difficult enough to make me want to consider opening up that can of worms to our health insurance companies.

By lost I meant got conquered. I know there’s the debate over whether or not we won or if it was a tie, but we definitely didn’t get conquered.

I'd prefer a scumbag like you not to decide the fates of others.

Shelburne has a lot ,the bridge of flowers.
Check the scenic Mohawk trail for the 35 miles of scenic byway from the Shelburne are to the hairpin turn in North Adams.
Northamton has great restaurants ,anything you fancy really.
If you take the Mowhawk trail east (rt.2) you get to the Quabbin region ,also wonderful.
Take I-91 N to Brattleboro VT and spend a dat there too

I agree. Forcing someone to die of hunger/thirst is torture. The state should not mandate that people must be tortured to death.
I had an aunt slowly pass for ten days in hospice. What I saw can only be described as torture. I was amazed that her husband and children (adults) had been convinced by the medical people that everything was fine and this was normal and peaceful. Bullshit.

Not even for full custom covers... apparently just art painted onto them. Paint that I'd have to assume is going to wear off in time.
As cool as it is that the town wants to give a nod to them, that doesn't sound too financially reasonable, imo.

It is a whole regulatory process. Not simple, not easy. Nor guaranteed there would be a transfer.

Nope, guess again.
bodily autonomy is the the ability to free yourself of a parasite leeching off your body.
Slamming the downvote doesn’t change that, btw.

While I’m pro choice myself, a fetus isn’t a ‘parasite’ if that’s what you’re trying to say. It’s a fetus. You can justify abortion without using such extreme language.
