Older Adults Increasingly Use Cannabis Medicinally

Image
Interesting article but certainly not a surprise . Older folks often experience muscle skeletal discomfort at elevated levels due to the wear and tear of aging. Cannibis can and does give relief without the dangers of addiction. In short cannabis beats opiods or booze all day long. Every day. All year long. Of course there are a myriad of ailments older people have to deal with and cannabis often is the best and most effective way to treat them. I know as I've used cannabis medicinally for going on four years. Cannabis is very good for improving mindfullness and acheiving a better and fuller understanding of just who YOU really are. In other words cannabis helps you see yourself as you reakky are. Just like Bob Marley said it does. If you do not resist its ability to help you grow and become a better person. When the feds finally decriminalizing cannabis extensive research into the vast benefits of cannabis will explode and we will finally be able to unlock much that has been kept

The Skinny On Delta 8 THC

Image
Delta 8 THC is the new hot cannabis and it isn't illegal under the feds archaic marijuana laws. Not being too familiar with Delta 8 THC we're still in the learning process ourselves so we looked for some detailed info and found it at daily dot .   The article is being reprinted in part here with a link provided to take you to the full article. Delta-8 THC is having a bit of a moment thanks to solving two problems for fans of cannabis. The first is legality. Since the federal government is still punting the ball on the legalization of cannabis with THC, patients have sought out other legal options. Secondly, Delta-8 THC isn’t as strong as traditional THC. So for those of you who love marijuana but have a tough time properly dosing it, well, consider Delta-8 to the rescue. Of course, that’s just the basics. Before you start ordering online, make sure you understand what you’re getting into. From where it’s legal, to how it works, and if it gets you high, there’s a lot to learn. H

The Right's Continuing Attack On Democracy In General and Specifically Cannabis Legalization

Image
  Conservative republicans are now beginning a new front in its War On Democracy.  Their new attack front? Overturning the will of the people through activist conservative courts . IOW the damn authoritarian republicans are giving the stiff middle one to democracy and the will of the people when the will of the people does not fit the conserfative narrative and agenda. Which as we are seeing is always less freedom and individual liberty. It is what conservative republicans so. On to the article. Conservative lawmakers are asking the courts to block the will of the people on pro-legalization ballot initiatives Rolling Stone -   Ken Newburger felt like he’d been blindsided. He knew a legal challenge had been mounted against the medical  cannabis  ballot initiative he’d worked on last year in  Mississippi . He knew the state’s Supreme Court had taken up the case. But the argument against Initiative 65 was so nonsensical that Newburger had zero doubt the court would rule to uphold the meas

Combine Cannabis and Guided Sleep Meditation For A Blissful Sleep

Image
  If you're one who suffers from anxiety and insomnia as I do you know it is both unhealthy and maddening. No question about it! My prior massage therapist Dion turned me on to Michael Seeley and his guided meditations for sleep. A mind, body, and spiritual approach to restful and fulling sleep experience, I've found the recordings to be helpful, however they fell short of consistently giving me the kind of deep restful and prolonged rest I so desperately desired and needed. This got me thinking. Could cannabis, combined with sleep meditation enhance and actually guide me into a deep and healthful 7-8 hours of uninterested blissful sleep? As I hoped for the combination of vaping a favorite Indica at 10:00 PM and then listening to the guided sleep meditation did the trick. I am now sleeping better, and awake more refreshed, than I have in 30 years! Give it a try! Enjoy the bliss!

Mississippi Supreme Court Overturns the Will of the People

Image
We are a nation founded on the principal of self rule . In many ways and in many states that principal is honored and the will of the people is heard and it becomes law. But certainly not in all states and not in every case and every state. Such is the state in Mississippi. Story below. Cannabis Business Executive - Mississippi was supposed to join dozens of other states with medical marijuana programs. People looking to grow and dispense marijuana for medical purposes were making plans, some spending millions on land and buildings. Those eligible under the list of 22 debilitating conditions were counting on it come August. On Friday, the Mississippi Supreme Court flipped that reality upside down. Its  decision to overrule a voter-approved medical marijuana initiative  has sparked outrage from several organizations. Some have started petitions, one coalition called for a boycott of the city of Madison — its mayor filed the lawsuit that was before the court — and another is planning a r

My Kinda Town!

  Taking photos in front of a sign welcoming visitors to Weed, Calif. Credit... Max Whittaker for The New York Times No Longer the ‘Devil’s Lettuce’: How the Town of Weed Embraced Weed . For decades, a rural California city winced at the puns. Now it’s cashing in WEED, Calif. — When they see the signs for Weed, carloads of curious travelers veer off the freeway to stop and gawk. They file into gift shops that sell “Weed Is So Dope” refrigerator magnets and sweatshirts advertising a fictional University of Weed: “A Place of Higher Learning.” For decades, the residents of Weed, a California lumber town an hour from the Oregon border, have felt like the butt of jokes, exasperated from the repetition of the Daily Explanation: No, the town is not named for marijuana but a local 19th-century timber baron, Abner Weed. For years, the town rejected proposals to leverage the name and allow the sale of marijuana. “I did not want a bunch of potheads sitting out in front of the store smoking doob

More History of Cannabis Use

  Ancients enjoyed the myriad health and psychodelic benefits of cannabis.  Hopefully the wisdom of the ancients will take hold of federal lawmakers and the federal prohibition against a plant that is both healthful  and enjoyable will soon end. It has damaged more than enough folks lives over the last 100 years. Scientists Find Ancient Humans Used Weed 2,500 Years Ago, Too Dense patches of wild cannabis grow across the mountain foothills of Eurasia from the Caucuses to East Asia. These plants were photographed growing in the Tian Shan Mountains of Kazakhstan. Credit... Robert Spengler An association between weed and the dead turns out to have been established long before the 1960s and far beyond  a certain ur-band’s stomping grounds in San Francisco. Researchers have identified strains of cannabis burned in mortuary rituals as early as 500 B.C., deep in the Pamir mountains  in  western China, according to a  new study  published Wednesday. The residue had chemical signatures indicatin

Truth Will Always Prevail... Sometimes It Just Takes Awhile

 Good morning, and a wonderful morning is is! While perusing cannabis news this morning we came across a short comment on Quora   and decided to share it with you all. Why has the government/public opinion on marijuana changed so much? Elle Hayes ,  OR medical card holder and experienced cannabis advocate Updated September 9, 2020 Insistence by intelligent people, including those of we Boomers who never did stop using cannabis since the 1950s and continue to do so today, amazingly we weren’t all slovenly homeless people relying on the state to support us. We were, in fact, productive members of society who decided to continue to “poke smot “ our entire lives. I’m always amazed at the “no long term studies” bla bla bla comments..there are lots of long term studies. I tried to volunteer for a long term study when I was in my 60s but was turned down! I  am a living long term study, as are many others of my generation! Here’s an amazing fact. Ready? The government lied to us. I know. It’s
