The U.S. Senate just gave the hemp industry a temporary stay of execution, delaying by one year a catastrophic ban that would have obliterated a $28 billion economic engine overnight. But don't celebrate yet - this isn't mercy, it's political theater designed to give the appearance of reasoned deliberation while the same prohibitionist forces that brought us the War on Drugs prepare to crush an industry that accidentally proved cannabis legalization works perfectly fine.
Most studies of cannabis and Parkinson’s Disease focus on the use of non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD), which is hailed for its excellent anti-inflammatory properties as well as neuroprotective qualities. It has been found to be effective in calming down tremors caused by this condition, as well as reducing sleep problems.
Trump’s ICE raids are not about law and order—they’re a grim performance of power, echoing the Gestapo’s fear-driven tactics while serving corporate interests over people.

In fact, scientists have just discovered a brand-new cannabinoid in the marijuana plant while studying existing cannabinoids that were known for their promising anti-cancer properties. Researchers in South Korea were successfully able to isolate a novel cannabinoid, cannabielsoxa and in the process, they learned a great deal of valuable medical information.
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.
