  Knowing the multitude of benefits derived from cannabinoids first hand i've become more  interested in plant based medicine more broadly and specifically p sychedelics. So, i went searching and came across the following article of interest. Rather than summarize i am bringing it here. full stop. Without further ado, from CLN  ... What is the Journeymen Collective magic mushroom retreat? Contemporary shamans Gary Logan and Rob Grover sat down with CLN the other day to discuss what really happens in a psychedelic treat. Is it a type of psychedelic therapy? Not really, says Rob. " It’s more along the lines of personal development. We recognize that there are clinical uses, there are  recreational  uses, and we’re in somewhat of the middle. What we’ve done is we’ve combined about sixty years of experience in personal metaphysical, spiritual teachings, and professional development as well. And we bridged all of those realms together to create what we know as the Jo...

 

Looking at NORMAL this afternoon i ran across the article following. Heavy metals as you know are not good to ingest through any delivery system. So i decided to to bring the article over in hopes of giving it additional exposure.  Marie, MI:  Consumers’ use of certain brands of commercially available rolling papers may result in heavy metal exposure, according to  data  published in the journal of the American Chemical Society ( ACS Omega ).  Researchers affiliated with Lake Superior State University’s School of Chemistry  analyzed  metal concentrations in 53 brands of rolling papers and paper cones.

Today w e feature a guest article by  Eva Benoit . She is a life coach who specializes in helping others who experience the suffering of anxiety. More about Eva in her own words: I began my career as an office manager, which actually started my journey to becoming a life coach.  I was constantly bombarded with employees telling me about their work stress, which naturally turned into a conversation about  everything  — work-related or not — that took a toll on their mental well-being. I found that my most satisfying workdays were those that allowed me to help someone take control over their stress, whether it was something I was able to do in my role as the office manager or just as a compassionate listening ear. It wasn’t long before I scheduled monthly lunch meetings where the entire office practiced stress-fighting techniques and healthy coping strategies. About 6 years ago, I left the office for the last time to pursue being a life, career, and overall wellness co...

US House Approves Cannabis Decriminalization Bill The House of Representatives passed the MORE Act, a bill to end the national prohibition of cannabis. By A.J. Herrington Published on   April 5, 2022 SHARE TWEET On April 1, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to decriminalize cannabis on the federal level with the passage of the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act. Lawmakers approved the legislation with a 220-204 vote, passed largely along party lines by the House’s Democratic majority. “This landmark legislation is one of the most important criminal justice reform bills in recent history: delivering justice for those harmed by the brutal, unfair consequences of criminalization; opening the doors of opportunity for all to participate in this rapidly growing industry; and decriminalizing cannabis at the federal level so we do not repeat the grave mistakes of our past,” Speaker of the House  Nancy Pelosi said  on the House floor before t...

 From: March 24, 2022 Friend, Y es, you read that correctly. After asking you to speak out and to demand a vote in Congress to end marijuana prohibition, your voices have been heard. We just received notification this afternoon that the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act is scheduled for a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives next week! It is incredibly important that we continue building momentum for removing marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and repairing the harms caused by America's disastrous federal marijuana laws, and your continued support is helping us to move the ball forward. Next week's vote will mark only the second time in more than 50 years that a chamber of Congress has revisited the classification of cannabis as a federally prohibited substance. As we head into the midterm elections, this vote will provide us with a record of where our elected officials stand on this important public policy. We still have muc...

Sixty-six percent of respondents in a nationally representative sample endorse legalizing cannabis for adults, with support being strongest among millennials (79 percent) and members of Generation X (76 percent).

  Seattle, WA :   In a public statement issued Tuesday, representatives of the Amazon corporation   offered   additional clarification regarding its rollback of marijuana-related drug screening in the workplace as well as its support for draft legislation offered by Senators Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, and Ron Wyden to repeal federal marijuana criminalization.

The company further announced that it has “reinstated eligibility for former employees and applicants who were previously terminated or deferred during random or pre-employment marijuana screenings.” Commenting on Amazon’s announcement, NORML’s Political Director Justin St...
