I know, I need to really jump our here and fully incorporate cannabis into my diet. Cannabis is an amazing SuperFood and should be in your diet. I have a goal to get cannabis into my diet more but we need more access. Cannabis is an amazing superfood and gives your body essential nutrients to survive.

Amendment 3 to make Marijuana Recreational is on the ballot. Sadly many will see it as a great thing and “Making Cannabis legal” it does NOT do such a thing. It really just shuffles prohibition around so adults can “legally” carry more. No protections if you get up and drive the next day or month! The THC will still be in your blood when you get in an accident, and it will go towards you – even if not your fault. No considerations of that are taken in.
This regulation really only goes to assist in the moving the Cannabis profits to a system they can try and regulate.
Expunging past offenses get us NO WHERE as it only moves your offenses to a system “physically and electronically segregated“!
Costs on cannabis go up, taxed to add 6% more and another 3% if the locality it’s in wants in too.
Punishment for having this SAFE plant get added – it is safe as FOOD, in fact, is a superfood! Even though maybe medical necessary and is safe penalties get ADDED! – “Purposefully possessing amounts in excess of twice the legal limit shall be punishable by imprisonment of up to one year and a fine of up to two thousand dollars as an infraction under applicable law.”
Another makes a fine for making concentrate in your home! What if this is medically needed? You’ll have to not DIY and take it commercial instead! “$1000 FINE FOR PRODUCING CONCENTRATES IN YOUR HOME“
This isn’t real legalization, its a total shift for the dispensary business and NOT in favor of the cannabis consumer. A Fellow advocate breaks it down much better detail and links to the details of the law he made for the state. We need to free cannabis, restore it back to the time before 1937 when it was a free commodity.

An older clip, but for sure shows some silly Harassment from Christians for involving cannabis and bible study! Why?!? Cannabis is in the bible, this rejection has scares people off – often I find it also a hard thing for Christians to swallow, why?!? would you reject your ‘stoner’ friends and family? In the most you’d see it as a “sin” (which I disagree with and feel is provable) and they would need help, not rejection. Gets me… Stoners, Weed Smokers, God Loves you. Non “Users” – should study the great wisdom God has given us with cannabis – primarily in Israel! It’s in the Holy anointing oil and burned in the 
Holy of Holies… What are you trying to call evil? Looks like God made all Herb GOOD for the use of mankind!
I read today a take from Leafy discussing the use of the word “Marijuana” and does it end up being racist to use?
I was glad to see this article and their perspective. I often run into this and prefer to not use “Marijuana” often if I can help it. I tend to less see it as racist, but a jab to fog up the meaning of the word and give a negative spun perspective. As mentioned in the article, many under 20 or so know and use the word, while those 50 and older would prefer to avoid the word.
I prefer to use the words Cannabis or Hemp as they are the same plant and important to our history and health. Prior to 1937 Cannabis and Indian Hemp we’re the terms used for Cannabis in a Medicinal form!
Infact the other day I picked up a Stedman’s Shorter Medical Dictionary and found it listed there:
(It also lists it’s in the U.S.P which is the United States Pharmacopeia (official medicine sourcebook)
Anyways, enough on my tangent. It’s just important to me that Marijuana has been a word to confuse as those who used medicine knew what cannabis was. We now today pretend it’s a cousin. If you want to learn the history of cannabis I recommend reading Emperor Wears no Clothes by Jack Herer and http://antiquecannabisbook.com as well to see the history of cannabis.
Well check the link below for Leafly’s input –

I’m often telling people about the amazing power of cannabis. It’s a super food and an essential product to our bodies.
Now further research shows both the “Marijuana” and “Hemp” forms contain acids that attack and stop the SARS COV-2 from being able to enter the cells.

HempMyLife comments:
I know from efforts in my community that Cannabis can be checked with a Spectrometer. It appears now we’ve got a hand held portable
Raman spectrometer that can check your Cannabis for THC now. It used to be a big machine that could do it in a lab. Now you can bring it with you!
I think this is a good thing for the part that we’ve had so many people trying to move cannabis CBD/Hemp products and getting nailed and detained as they can’t figure out it’s not ‘Marijuana’ (0.03< THC really only difference). They are both a superfood and amazing for you. If the feds will allow the ‘Hemp’ variety the be used while we’re sorting the medical laws we should be able to access it. Hopefully this helps that plight.
Ben served in Iraq. His time in Fallujah etched itself permanently into his consciousness.
Like so many Veterans, Ben is still at war… though now, the fray rages largely in his mind and his dreams.
Post traumatic stress is not a “syndrome”. It is an injury…
When physical and/or mental trauma exceeds one’s tolerance, a wound is suffered. That wound more than likely will go untreated, because its unseen by most, and, more often than not, misunderstood by the one afflicted.
Cannabis has proven itself to be therapeutically essential to so many afflicted with Post Traumatic Stress.
Cannabis is nontoxic. Cannabis is food. Cannabis is the single most important medicine of the 21st century.

SS SCS HCS HB 2034 — INDUSTRIAL HEMP
Missouri is got a new law to address Cannabis “Hemp” and its use in Missouri. Making it the 40th state to take on some “Hemp” in Agriculture laws.
New Hemp law:
A great associate of mine has produced new legislation for Cannabis. One that would set cannabis free restore it back to where it was before it was added to Schedules called “Marijuana” and attacked.
We’ll be supporting this act and you can see full details on his site – cannabisrestoration.org
Trump and Congress signed the farm bill of 2019.
With this Hemp is legal and can grow nationwide! This will be massive.
However CBD is still being fought about as FDA claims its illegal! 🤦♂️ As its a ‘drug component being added’!
