I know this to be true from my personal pain as well as both my Ex-Wives have Sciatica back pain. Each I took to pain management and on both occasions the Doctor told us she was doing the best treatment she could. As his page management would not help better than the cannabis and in fact would have to stop the cannabis to be on pain management!
It’s wild, see the whole story at MJ Movement at the link below.
Here are ten verified and mind-blowing facts about cannabis with credible sources to support them:
Sources:
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.

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.

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.

Who would have imagined! (ME) Cannabis hemp is the best material to make your COVID-19 face mask out of. It also seems like it may help fight it. Studies as linked below say that Hemp is best material for being able to breathe and stop germs! It has been shown to be anti-microbial so id expect as much. See the details of the study at the link.
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.
