However, researchers from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas discovered that caraway seeds, a common kitchen spice, can actually help in the development of medications that act similarly to CBD. The UNLV researchers, who worked together with colleagues from New Mexico State University for the study, found that when the primary chemical component of caraway seeds were altered, they were able to produce multiple CBD-like medications that are completely devoid of THC.

A group of lawmakers recently sent Trump a letter urging him not to reschedule cannabis because it would send "the wrong message to the kids." You know what? I actually agree that cannabis shouldn't be rescheduled—but not for their reasons. Cannabis should be completely descheduled, removed from the Controlled Substances Act entirely, because it's not a "substance" in the pharmaceutical sense. It's a plant.

In October 2022, President Biden issued a proclamation pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. He also called on governors to issue similar pardons for state offenses and directed the Department of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General to review marijuana's classification under federal law.

For months, he's been dangling the carrot of rescheduling cannabis from Schedule I to III, teasing it like the Epstein files or his "no new wars" pledge—empty calories for the faithful. A GOP congressional leader even called it "cautiously optimistic," framing it as an opioid alternative to keep the base nodding along. But peel back the foil, and it's clear: this is Pharma's wet dream.

Let me show you what state-sponsored propaganda looks like in 2025. Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau recently published an infographic titled "Understanding Medical Cannabis" that's so packed with cherry-picked data, misleading claims, and deliberate omissions that it deserves a thorough dissection

However, while marijuana and psychedelics are absolutely illegal in Japan, the non-psychoactive compound cannabidiol (CBD) is legal. That said, regulations of CBD are stricter compared to western nations where the legal marijuana market is already mature, or Japan’s Asian neighbor, Thailand. In the United States and in other western nations, CBD with trace amounts of THC, such as 0.3% is allowed, only CBD with 0% THC is legal in Japan.

Integrating cannabis into your winter wellness routine is also a great way to get better sleep. Remember that sleep is critical for a strong, healthy immune system. The human body loves sleep and requires a decent amount for your physical and mental health. If you’re struggling to get some shut-eye, you can count on weed to get real quality sleep that helps your body fight against seasonal viruses better than any medicine.

But fear not, dear readers, for our favorite plant might just swoop in to save the day. Recent studies suggest that cannabis could be the unexpected hero in our battle against these deadly insects. It turns out that good ol' Mary Jane might have the power to slow down mosquito reproduction rates. Talk about a buzz kill!

Here's what really stings: many Americans genuinely believed they were voting for something different. Trump's campaign promises included releasing the Epstein list and reforming cannabis policy. "We'll get the Epstein list public," he said. "We'll reform cannabis," he promised.

The compound is called cannabizetol (CBGD), and it's only the fourth dimeric cannabinoid ever identified in cannabis. When researchers tested it against 84 different inflammatory genes, it showed significantly higher anti-inflammatory activity than any previously studied dimeric cannabinoid. It works through the NF-κB pathway—essentially a master switch for inflammation throughout the human body—and exhibits powerful antioxidant properties that could have applications in dermatology, chronic inflammation, and potentially dozens of other medical conditions we haven't even imagined yet.
