Medical Cannabis and Pharmaceuticals
What if we had a solution the opioid epidemic? What if we had a solution to drug overdose? According to the Center for Disease Control, in 2014, nearly 2 million in the US abused or were dependent on prescription opioids. I am not a medical professional, but here is some of the research I've done into replacing medications with the more natural option of cannabis. Cannabis is a plant that can be used to replace opioids, as well as anti-seizure medication, anti-depressants, and anti-anxiety medication. Rx drug overdose in 2014 was up nearly four times what it was in 1999 (National Institute on Drug Abuse). With statistics like those, I think it is best to replace pharmaceuticals with cannabis whenever possible.

Why "hurry up and wait" can be so exhausting
If you have ever worked in theatre, the saying "hurry up and wait" is probably not anything new for you. For those of you who may not have heard it before, it means that in theatre, you're generally in a hurry to get to your cue and once it's done, you're waiting for your next cue, and the cycle restarts.
