If you've been scrolling through the news lately, you might have seen some alarming headlines suggesting that cannabis use leads to dementia. "Cannabis Users At Higher Risk of Dementia," they screamed, likely causing more than a few of us to pause mid-puff and wonder if we're unwittingly destroying our brain cells.
This transformation story isn't unique - it's the standard pattern that occurs when propaganda meets reality. The demonization of cannabis represents one of the most successful mind control operations in modern history, a century-long campaign that implanted false beliefs so deeply into our collective consciousness that even today, with mountains of contradictory evidence, millions of people still carry these mental viruses without question.
Tony Roe was sitting in Circuit Court, surrounded by guards, judges, lawyers, and bailiffs, waiting to hear how many years he'd be spending behind bars, and he decided this was the perfect time to expand his market share. That's not criminal behavior - that's entrepreneurial excellence. That's the kind of hustle mentality that would make Gary Vaynerchuk weep with admiration.
Marko Glisic helps cannabis businesses transition from cash to compliant digital payments by building secure systems that meet regulatory, tax, and reporting requirements.
The wolves are circling the cannabis industry, and they're wearing familiar sheep's clothing. Altria Group, the tobacco giant behind Marlboro cigarettes and a century of corporate malfeasance, is positioning itself to dominate legal cannabis using the exact same playbook they used to capture and control the tobacco market in the 1990s. This isn't just corporate expansion - it's a calculated theft of an industry that millions of people fought to legalize, often at great personal cost.
When I heard about seven-year-old Archie York's death in a cannabis lab explosion in Newcastle, my first reaction wasn't the expected outrage at the "drug dealer" responsible. Instead, I felt a familiar, sickening realization: this child's death wasn't just a tragedy—it was entirely preventable. Archie didn't die because cannabis exists; he died because cannabis prohibition forced production underground, into amateur hands, in residential buildings, without safety standards or oversight.
As I sink into my meditation cushion after a carefully measured dose of cannabis, I notice something extraordinary happening. The usual chatter of my mind begins to recede like waves pulling back from the shore. My awareness expands, and suddenly the boundary between observer and observed feels less rigid. This isn't just a pleasant relaxation—it's a doorway to deeper states of consciousness that humans have been exploring for millennia.
According to the study’s results, the researchers found a more significant increase in consumption among older adults who suffered from chronic health problems. It ranged from heart disease and high blood pressure, to diabetes, COPD, cancer, and more.
Let's be brutally honest about what's driving this sudden Republican interest in cannabis reform. It's not a philosophical awakening about personal freedom or a scientific revelation about cannabis safety. It's cold, hard electoral math combined with the realization that prohibition is no longer a winning political strategy.
American cannabis businesses and manufacturers depend heavily on Chinese parts and products, most especially when it comes to vapes, grow lights, hydroponic machines, glass jars, batteries, cartridges, and so much more. Because of the tariff increases, these basic parts are now much more expensive, so businesses and cultivators have no choice but to increase costs.
