Cannabis Corner Chat Room

The following video headliners are Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders. Two individuals that are working hard to remake the democratic party into an ethical and motivated fighting party that can, and ultimately WILL , take back America from the Trump and Muskovite clans and their billionaire oligarch buddies. The speakers start at the 31 min and 30 second mark.

  Received the below today. Passing it on for those who may be unaware. Legislation is pending -  House Bill 159  - to prohibit employment discrimination based on the legal use of cannabis. If passed, this bill would make it illegal for a business to refuse employment or to fire someone who consumes cannabis during their non-working hours. Support Employment Protections for Responsible Cannabis Consumers According to an exhaustive review by the US National Academy of Sciences, “There is no evidence to support a statistical association between cannabis use and occupational accidents or injuries.” Those who consume conventional medications or alcohol legally and responsibly while off the job do not suffer sanctions from their employers unless their work performance is adversely impacted.

Yet this legislative session, lawmakers from both parties are placing cannabis consumers in their crosshairs. In Republican-led states like Montana, Nebraska, Ohio and South Dakota, lawmakers have sought to either repeal or significantly roll back voter-approved legalization laws.

Assuming it will be? At any rate... Treatment for chronic pain still relies heavily on opioids. While effective, they are highly addictive and potentially deadly if misused.    In the quest to develop a safe, effective alternative to opioids, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Stanford University have developed a compound that mimics a natural molecule found in the   cannabis plant , harnessing its pain-relieving properties without causing addiction or mind-altering side effects in mice.
