I’ve asked three perfectly reasonable questions about marijuana on Y!A over a long period of time and they were all reported and taken down. I appealed one and got denied. I normally don’t bother to appeal because of the threat of being penalized points if they disagree.
Does Yahoo Answers discriminate against marijuana as an alternative medicine?

I’m 20, studying medicine (first year) and im korean. I met this Malaysian (chinese) girl and is now completely in love with her.
i told my parents and they went ballistic, saying i have enough work to concentrate on and that i wont have time for girlfriend. They are even more angry by the fact that she’s chinese malaysian, and they are going on about how culturally different marriage will destroy the entire family and that their grandchildren wont be able to speak korean, and that they wont be able to communicate with my girlfriend as they are “not good at english” (but they are good) and all that bullshit. im really upset now, and also feel really bad for my girlfriend as well. they are saying they dont even want to meet her…..what can i do about this?? any advice please??

I’m currently 25 years. I was working 3 years until I got fired, after that I got unemployment help for about a year and it ran out. Now 3 years later I haven’t found a job and worst part is I got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis which is making it impossible for me to even really work. I’m trying to figure out if and how I could get benefit from government because I’m not able to work or even look for the job that I want to work. I’m taking medications for my condition and trying to get better by trying different herbs from Chinese doctors, last resort is deadly surgery but for now I need some help, in the last 2 years I was just living of the money I had saved up and I have also sold away many of my belongings just to survive. Long story short is, can I get disabled benefit after not being employed for over 3 years, my disability started now and not during time period of previous work.

My spectales number is -8.0 & -7.0. Doctors suggests to use contact lenses. Alternative is Laser treatment. But please tell me other than this is there any treatment in Ayurveda atleast to reduce some….. I am staying in Bengaluru.
