Big win for freedom lovers and cannabis patients! The Eleventh Circuit just told Uncle Sam to chill out—medical marijuana users *can* own guns, thank you very much. After years of being lumped in with felons and dangerous criminals, law-abiding patients are finally getting the constitutional respect they deserve. The court said loud and clear: using state-legal cannabis doesn’t make you a threat—it makes you a human with rights.
This ruling could shake up federal policy and send shockwaves all the way to the Supreme Court. If you care about liberty, logic, and the end of reefer madness in gun laws, this is one to watch.

Brain Receptors For Cannabis Could Be Why Some People Are More Resilient : ScienceAlert
Some people are more Resilient it tracks back to your CB 1 Receptions!
Missouri Bans Cannaboids not within their Cannabis Regulation to prepare for Schedule III.
With straight up lies, Missouri sets up cannabis for roll into Schedule III – When it becomes Pharmacy ONLY Cannabis. Missouri will declare (Again) they already have a Handle on it. Cannabis is NOT legal, only Regulated. We need to fight for it to be legal as its SAFE. It’s NOT Toxic, but too many out there pretend it is so the Government can tell you how to handle a vegetable, and flower they call a deadly toxic drug.
“Consumption of psychoactive cannabis products puts individuals at risk for poisoning, unintended intoxication, contaminants and byproduct effects on the body, impaired driving, and more.”
“Marijuana” Recheduling Imminent? Lets See?
There’s another set of whispers again that they may “imminently” reschedule Marijuana. Is Cannabis reform coming? Not that they did it last time. It would be nice if it’s not just another denial of the use of Cannabis as Medicine. The United States Government has Patent – 6,630,507 that shows they know Cannabis deserves more than Schedule 1 (NO USE). Though they always go in circles saying “it needs to be studied more.” When it’s one of Mankind’s oldest crops and medicines… (Check Emperor Wears No Clothes by Jack Herer for all the details – Emperor – JackHerer.com)
So far we’ve only come across silly ideas of Regulation of Cannabis. I’ll skip the rants today on where we SHOULD go, but that information is here.
What’s a rescheduling of marijuana going to do? At another schedule, it’s still ONLY going to be by a doctor’s permission and controlled. In my study, the only reasonable thing that changes is the legality of use. Cannabis will be able to be banked, as if you don’t know it’s generally illegal to store money for what the federal government considers illegal drugs. So, they are forced to deal with cash.
Reschedule won’t help… We need Cannabis Reform. Dig further with Marijuana Movement’s details.

Psychedelic Churches and Outlaw Churches
In my search on cannabis discussions and study of cannabis faithful I ran into Mike Marinacci who has been doing studies the same and has a book he wrote Psychedelic Cults and Outlaw Churches: LSD, Cannabis, and Spiritual Sacraments in Underground America – He wrote this book which includes some churches I am affiliated with such a THCMinistries and The Healing Church. He describes and walks though rituals, pratices and their legal battles.
He also was in a Talk about it a Harvard this year as well.

Glad though there’s some of these companies actually speaking up for all these POWs.
Missouri Bill to put all cannabis products in DHHS Hands.
Republican State Representative Kurtis Gregory from Marshall, Missouri, has introduced a bill to regulate the sale of delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) products. The products, which are used to give people a high, are derived from hemp and are legal under federal law. While some stores and vendors have imposed age restrictions of 21 and up, there is no state or federal regulation of these products. Gregory’s bill would task the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services with regulating these products and require the products to be sold at DHSS-licensed dispensaries. While critics worry that regulating the industry under the umbrella of DHSS would create a “marijuana monopoly”, Gregory’s bill is gaining support from many quarters, including delta-8 businesses, law enforcement, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The bill itself locks down “any intoxicating” cannaboid and makes it so it’s ONLY able to be sold in Cannabis Dispensaries. This will harm the Hemp Industry for sure. If you notice, dispensaries are already selling “Hemp” products as well, high in THC-A but low in THC 9 – the regulated content. You maybe just buying all your hemp products at the Missouri regulated shops in this case.
You can see whole bill on MO’s site – Missouri House of Representatives – Bill Information for HB1328 (mo.gov)

Choosing the Best Cannabis Strain for Your Medical Condition
When considering using cannabis for medical/health purposes, it’s important to choose the right strain for your particular condition. Different cannabis strains have different chemical compositions, and these chemicals can have varying effects on the body. In this post, we’ll go over some tips on how to choose the best cannabis strain for your conditions.
- Determine the Symptoms You Want to Treat
The first step in choosing a cannabis strain for your medical condition is to determine which symptoms you want to treat. Different strains can have different effects on the body, so it’s important to choose a strain that targets your specific symptoms. For example, if you’re looking to alleviate pain, strains high in THC and CBD may be more effective.
- Research the Different Strains
Once you’ve determined which symptoms you want to target, it’s time to do some research on the different strains available. There are many different cannabis strains out there, each with its own unique chemical composition and set of effects. Some popular strains include:
- Indica: This strain is known for its relaxing and sedative effects, and is often used to alleviate pain and promote sleep.
- Sativa: This strain is known for its uplifting and energizing effects, and is often used to treat depression and anxiety.
- Hybrid: This strain is a combination of both indica and sativa, and can provide a balanced effect depending on the specific strain.
Terpenes –
These can differ per strain and really help as well.
Cannabis terpenes are aromatic compounds found in the essential oils of the cannabis plant. They are responsible for the plant’s distinct aroma and flavor, and also have potential health benefits. Terpenes have been shown to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates a wide range of physiological functions, including mood, pain, and appetite. Different cannabis strains contain different terpenes, and choosing the right strain for your medical condition can help you maximize the potential health benefits of cannabis.
A local dispo has some examples of terpenes on their walls:
- Consider the THC and CBD Levels
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a cannabis strain is the THC and CBD levels. THC is the psychoactive component in cannabis that produces the “high,” while CBD is a non-psychoactive component that has been shown to have a variety of medical benefits. Strains high in THC may be more effective for certain conditions, such as pain relief, while strains high in CBD may be more effective for conditions such as epilepsy or anxiety.
- Look for Third-Party Lab Testing
When choosing a cannabis strain, it’s important to look for third-party lab testing results. This will ensure that the strain has been tested for purity and potency, and that the chemical composition is accurate. Without third-party lab testing, it’s difficult to know exactly what you’re getting, which can be dangerous for medical use.
- Consult with a Medical Professional
Finally, it’s important to consult with a medical professional before using cannabis for medical purposes. A medical professional can help you determine which strain is best for your specific condition, and can provide guidance on dosage and other important considerations.
In conclusion, choosing the right cannabis strain for your medical condition requires careful consideration of your symptoms, research on different strains, an understanding of THC and CBD levels, third-party lab testing, and consultation with a medical professional. By following these tips, you can ensure that you’re using the best cannabis strain for your specific needs.

I find it very important to call out news like this. Hemp is supposed to be ‘legal’ but in many places it’s ONLY ‘legal’ with specific authorization from the state. The war on cannabis keeps going. Cannabis is a super food and medicine, it’s “safe” pretending it has a “dangerous” ‘Marijuana’ ‘cousin’ is totally trash. All cannabis we use these days is part of Cannabis Sativa L. It also causes NO deaths and is a super food. Yet we keep allowing our governing bodies to continue to push these horrible laws… Speak out tell your reps, speak up in your areas!
