The research, which tracked 1,428 Canadian adults over five years following nationwide legalization, found that while overall cannabis use increased slightly, problematic misuse actually decreased. You read that right—more people are consuming cannabis, but they're doing it more responsibly.
Ever wonder why some cannabis strains smell like a skunk's revenge while others evoke fresh citrus or earthy pine forests? The answer lies in a fascinating molecular symphony that's far more complex than most people realize. A groundbreaking new scientific review has peeled back the curtain on cannabis aromatics, revealing that the distinctive smells and flavors we associate with different strains result from an intricate dance between genetics, cultivation methods, and environmental factors.
The survey by Fabrizio, Lee & Associates (whose principal, Tony Fabrizio, served as pollster for Trump's 2016 and 2024 presidential campaigns) found something that might shock the mainstream media narrative: GOP voters are "even more supportive" of allowing states to set their own cannabis policies without federal interference (72%) than the general voting population (68%).
While autistic people are generally less likely to use recreational substances than the general population, those who do use drugs are nine times more likely to be self-medicating for autism-related symptoms and mental health conditions. This isn't a story about drug abuse - it's a story about medical abandonment and the predictable consequences of leaving vulnerable populations to fend for themselves.
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. The death of a farmworker, the detention of children, and the terror gripping communities reveal a president who campaigned as a reformer but governs for Big Pharma and surveillance giants like Palantir.
A unique clinical trial conducted by researchers at the New York University together with the Johns Hopkins University around a decade ago, involved administering psilocybin to clergymen in various religions. The participants included a Catholic priest, five rabbis, a Muslim leader, and a Protestant minister. The results were just published last month by Kathryn Post of Religion News Service, which was discussed in NPR.
On June 24th, 2024, the cosmos delivered what might be interpreted as a cosmic joke - or perhaps a pointed message from Mother Earth herself. The Nyx capsule, carrying the cremated remains of 166 humans and cannabis plants destined for space research, crashed spectacularly into the Pacific Ocean when its parachutes failed to deploy.
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.
