Always thought it works that way but the gemara gitin 31a says the opposite, that things shrink in the heat.
Oy vey.

The gemara is referring to wooden items which dry out and therefore become loose. Did you see rashi? I don't understand how you even had a hava amina that the gemara is talking about stam contraction.
Rashi explicitly explains that this contraction is due to the wood drying out.
Like a dried out grape (raison)  is smaller than a fresh one.

Can somebody please explain to me the whole medical marijuana business?
If its a real drug then why isn't it sold in drugstores and pharmacies with a prescription like normal medicine, what's the big deal?

Or even if metal, it's banged into wood.

Yup! Realized and pulled back. But in that context it makes no difference.

Rabbi miller talks about how amazing it is that all (well almost all) elements expand when heated and shrink in cold. One exception is water, it expands when cold, making it lighter than water so it floats on top. If it were to shrink it would become more dense and would sink down, then new layers would be formed on top of that until its all frozen solid killing all fish!

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

They do have it in drug form with just CBD and without the THC. In other words it gives the medicinal benefits without the actual high.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
