Suddenly, cannabis revealed itself as a viable alternative – one that provided many of the benefits I had previously sought from alcohol without the brutal physical toll. It was more accessible, more affordable, and enabled me to remain functional in a way booze no longer could. With a philosophical shrug, I re-integrated this old friend into my life, and cannabis has remained a steady companion through the decades that followed.
These rodents have taken a liking to the confiscated cannabis stored in the evidence room. Kirkpatrick humorously remarked, “The rats are eating our marijuana. They’re all high.” However, the reality is grimmer as neglect has led to deteriorating conditions, including plumbing, mold, elevators, and HVAC units. This situation, compounded by rodent infestation and stoned rats, has severely impacted department morale.
The French National Medicines Safety Agency (ANSM) has officially stated that flowers will not be incorporated into its forthcoming comprehensive medical cannabis framework.

Researchers have shown that healthy dogs may safely incorporate cannabinoids like CBD, CBDA, and CBG into their daily routines, demonstrating their potential for long-term use with low risks. This pioneering study was recently published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science.
The latest case involves a man named Diego Costa Silva in Ireland. He decapitated his wife, claiming he believed she was possessed by a serpent due to "cannabis-induced psychosis" - and that he had to remove her head to kill the snake entity. Two psychiatrists backed up his insanity plea, testifying that Silva genuinely suffered delusions and hallucinations from heavy cannabis use, rendering him legally not guilty by reason of insanity for the grisly murder.
Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, pushed state lawmakers this week to legalize and regulate marijuana for recreational use. He emphasized the need to follow the lead of nearby states that have already made this decision. In his yearly budget speech, which included a $48.3 billion spending plan, the governor urged legislators to band together and enact legislation legalizing marijuana, on the condition that the sector be subject to prudent regulation and taxes.
According to research that was partially funded by MGC Pharmaceuticals Ltd. in Australia and published in the journal Cells, the cannabis extract may have the ability to interact with receptors on particular types of melanoma cells, which might make it useful as an adjuvant treatment for malignant melanoma. To fully evaluate its safety and effectiveness, however, more preclinical research is necessary.
A recent study conducted by investigators at the LVR University Hospital in Germany together with Algea Care, a leading telehealth service in Europe focusing on marijuana, sheds light into the efficacy of medical marijuana for treating chronic depression.
