Pioneering research from Columbia University in New York suggests that psilocybin, the key component in magic mushrooms, may help people with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The study, published in Psychedelics, looked at how psilocybin affected brain activity in BDD patients, and it found significant alterations in brain connections that might help lessen the disorder's obsessive thinking patterns.
A groundbreaking new study, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggests exactly that. The research, published in the journal Parenting: Science and Practice, offers compelling evidence that cannabis use might actually enhance positive parenting behaviors.
Most recreational cannabis consumers look for a high THC content when shopping around for weed strains.

It's a twisted irony - in a country where wine mom culture is celebrated and kids are medicated for ADHD at the drop of a hat, a mom who uses cannabis to unwind or manage chronic pain can lose everything. The same system that's supposed to protect children is being used to traumatize them, all in the name of a plant that's less harmful than alcohol.
In a significant move that could reshape the landscape of cannabis regulation in the United States, a new bill has been introduced in Congress aimed at banning synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) nationwide.

A study examining biblical texts suggests that Jesus Christ and his apostles might have used anointing oil made with cannabis to heal individuals suffering from debilitating diseases. Evidence points to cannabis likely being a central component of anointing oils during biblical times, supporting the idea that Jesus may have harnessed the plant for its healing properties.
I recently came across a story out of Missouri that made my blood boil faster than a dabbed-out teenager's parents.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will persist in pursuing tax payments from marijuana businesses that have taken deductions in anticipation of a potential federal rescheduling, according to a federal agency attorney.
