Research Shows THC Slows Alzheimer's Disease
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can slow the production of beta-amyloid proteins in the brain which are said to cause Alzheimer’s disease. It's a miracle drug. Seems to cure almost everything.
In the Bible, there is something about God giving humans herbs to consume. Someone made that herb illegal. Hope that someone faces God to try and explain. ^^

Seems Like Korean Media Is Always Worried About Companies
President Moon ordered a review of the Four Rivers Water Works Projects that were carried out during the Lee Myung-bak administration, where construction companies (Samsung, SK, Hyundai, and other business conglomerates) colluded in bids to fix prices and were convicted. They were banned from participating in future public projects, but were pardoned by the Park Keun-hye administration. Tens or hundreds of billions of dollars wasted in shoddy and questionable projects. A lot of Koreans want this investigated again. President Moon ordered a review and if there is any evidence of illegalities, then they will be investigated.
Korean media's spin? Construction companies are facing a hard time due to the economy and these investigations could hurt them. They usually add that this would be disastrous for the economy, but this was left out this time.
President Moon ordered a stop to construction of coal fired electrical generation plants. Korea media's spin? You got it! Most of the major construction companies depend on construction of these plants and if construction is stopped, most of them would lose money.
Anyway, you get the idea. I know these types of articles are normal, but when most of the media puts out lots of articles with similar spin, that is abnormal.

Korean Media vs American Media
President Trump pushed for job creation, and the media discussed the topic.
President Moon pushed for job creation, and some of the Korean media report on business fearing repercussions from this type of policy.
There are a few favorable articles, like this one.
Korea Herald: Policy advisory panel calls for greater competition to create more jobs
However, most are somewhat negative in tone, asking if it will be possible to create jobs that way and encouraging negative feelings. Most of these articles are in Korean like the ones below.
Asia Times: 새 정부의 ‘비정규직 제로’ 정책… 증권업계도 가능할까
Sisa Journal: 유통업계 꺼내든 일자리 카드…‘질(質)’도 좋을까
The majority of Koreans seem to believe the media. However, growing numbers are becoming very skeptical.

Cary Grant Used LSD 100 Times For Therapy
He used it when it was legal in the early sixties. He visited Dr Mortimer Hartman at the Psychiatric Institute of Beverly Hills weekly for therapy because he was having a difficult time adjusting to fame. Cary Grant said that LSD cured him and helped him find his goal. Now, there is a movie out about this.

Vermont Gov To Veto Recreational Marijuana
Sign of the times.
Vermont would have become the ninth state to legalize recreational marijuana. And would have been the the first to legalize it through legislation rather than public voting.

Adultery
Used to be a crime in Korea. Several years ago, the courts ruled that it was not a crime, and was a moral issue, if I remember correctly.
