Marco Rubio Still Needs Water – Won’t You Please Help?
Two years ago, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) announced his arrival as the Republican Party’s next big thing by delivering the GOP’s response to President Obama’s State of the Union address, a job that has become more of a curse than a blessing in recent years. For Rubio, it became a nightmare of parched oratory and comically inept hydration, as he made his now-legendary lunge out of frame for what was apparently Frodo Baggins’ bottle of Poland Spring.
On Monday, Rubio announced his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, and true to his party’s form, appears not to have learned the lessons of history. Oh, sure, there was his promise of a “new American century” that, given his economic and regulatory policies, sounds a lot like the 19th Century, but in short order, Rubio’s obvious case of desert-mouth became the most interesting thing on the stage. second only to the two sips of water he took during the speech, from the tiniest Solo cup produced in the western hemisphere.
As a public service for Marco Rubio, and every public speaker, I’ve cut together every time Marco Rubio licked his lips during his presidential announcement, including the two sips of water the poor parched soul allowed himself. For the love of all that is good and holy, get this man a beer helmet with a couple of liters of Dasani in it…READ MORE

Have you ever wondered why using cannabis causes your mouth to go dry?
This problem is typically referred to as “cottonmouth”, as it feels about the same as shoving a bunch of cotton-balls into your mouth, and then trying to lick a stamp.
It was once thought that dry mouth was merely a side-effect caused by the hot smoke that is inhaled when smoking cannabis. However; it is actually not that easy of an answer at all.
Over the years it has been found that cannabis consumption will cause dry-mouth, even when it is not ingested in the smoked form. The mere fact that even when eaten or consumed in a liquid beverage, cannabis will still cause dry-mouth, means something else must be at play here. We simply can not blame cottonmouth on the smoke.
Now, knowing that any form of ingested cannabis – weather eaten, or smoked, will cause cottonmouth – we have to look further into how cannabis works with our body, in order to figure out just how and why, our mouths get so damned dry, when we consume this wonderful herb.
