Cannabis Corner Chat Room

  CLN - Cannabis has been consumed for millennia in various parts of the world because of its health benefits. Modern science and medicine have rediscovered their efficacy in treating inflammation and chronic pain and have been coming up with new ways to utilize the plant. One of the most common ways of extracting cannabis’s active chemical compounds, CBD and THC, has been smoking it. The  legalization of marijuana  for medical (and in some cases even recreational use) in several jurisdictions has prompted an upsurge in people using cannabis. Unfortunately, many people are reluctant to smoke it, largely because of the ingrained stereotypes in their minds of cannabis users. Others, like those with respiratory conditions, can’t consume cannabis via smoking.  Smoking also presents risks to people in good health, including respiratory, head, and neck cancers, and long-term lung ailments including bronchitis, emphysema, and COPD. What do you do if you still want to get all of cannabis’s be

  It is time for President Biden to educate himself on cannabis benefits, understand his egregiously outdated knowledge of cannabis, and his unjustified and immoral support for the 1994 crime bill that resulted in the explosion in the prison population for the non violent crime of smoking weed. An activity that hurt NO ONE.  If Biden refuses to pull his head out of the darkness then congress and the senate should force his hand. Get a law to decriminalize and legalize out of both houses and see what Bisen does. Hopefully he actually places his trust in the America people as he so often said he does. It is time to PROVE it. On to the article... Anyone surprised that Joe Biden would scrutinize the weed-smoking habits of his White House staff hasn't paid attention to one of the more consistent policy threads of his decades-long career. He’s just not ready to embrace cannabis. Despite a shift in public opinion toward legalizing marijuana over the past 30 years, the president’s more con

  How the Mormon church unlocked medical pot for deep red states “They did everything that they could to fight this until the people had spoken," a former state lawmaker said of the church. POLITICO -  SALT LAKE CITY — On a Thursday in October 2018, a handful of Utah’s top lawmakers, representatives from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and medical marijuana advocates filed into the   Gold Room , an ornate space in the state Capitol. They were joined by the Utah Medical Association and law enforcement groups to announce a deal to legalize medical marijuana across the state. Everyone was there in large part because the church had decided they would be. “You could just almost hear the teeth grinding of the law enforcement — and some of the other people that were sitting there — having to play nice and say 'Oh yeah … this is all kumbaya.' Because, it wasn't,” said former Republican Utah state Sen. Mark Madsen, who worked to pass medical marijuana legislati

  Harry Kelso is guilty of smoking weed. For which he received a 10 year sentence. A non violent activity that hurts no one got him ten years. Weall know why.  Yet when a president of the USA, donald j. trump, incites an armed insurection at the Capitol on 01/06/2021 he receives NOTHING .  We've got one F'ed up justice system in America. On to the article. Harry Kelso, of Virginia, spent nearly nine years in prison for marijuana-related offenses. He's pushing for restorative justice for others who were imprisoned for marijuana after the state legalized the drug for recreational use. ABC NEWS -  In 2001, Harry Kelso left his hometown of Roanoke, Virginia, for the big city of Richmond and the promise of an education at Virginia Union University. “I was gonna go to school and get my degree and get out and find a technology job and have a family. … I just had dreams … [of] just having a normal life,” he told “Nightline.” But Kelso, like many college students, smoked weed. He sa

  America's reason the the will of the voters are suppressed, ignored, and or rejected. Conservative Republicans and little if anything else is the reason . They simply hate democracy and the will of the people. Even when it is good for the people, the nation, and the overall health, serenity, and peace of the people. It ain't gonna get better or change any time soon. Unless the people vote the conservative republican authoritarians out of office. Which as we know would be a spectacularly good thing! On to the article. Forbes - . ..  Recent polling suggests more than two-thirds of Americans want adult-use cannabis legalized. And though polling isn’t the most reliable indicator of voter behavior, legal cannabis’s undefeated record at the ballot box last November is a strong signal that with weed, citizens’ choices in the voting booth reflect the desires voiced to opinion-takers. Elected officials and the courts are a different matter. In five states where voters have either pas

  Study: For Some Symptoms, Medical Marijuana With THC Is Better Than CBD A recent study conducted at the Unversity of New Mexico showed that    tetrahydrocannbinol   (THC) is more effective and produces relief faster than   cannabidiol  (CBD). So, while CBD offers many healthful benefits partaking of THC in flower form offers increased benefits and faster relief. If CBD is the Chevy of cannabis then THC is the Cadillac. On to the article. Forbes -  The cannabis plant has hundreds of “active ingredients,” but the two most prominent—and the only two most people have heard of— are THC and CBD . Despite “medical marijuana” laws specifically allowing people to access cannabis products containing THC, over the past few years, one line of conventional wisdom goes something like this: THC is the molecule that gets you high; CBD is non-psychoactive and promotes healing. Since federal law allows CBD but still bans more than a minute amount of THC, in some circles, the dichotomy has devolved fu
