Suddenly, cannabis revealed itself as a viable alternative – one that provided many of the benefits I had previously sought from alcohol without the brutal physical toll. It was more accessible, more affordable, and enabled me to remain functional in a way booze no longer could. With a philosophical shrug, I re-integrated this old friend into my life, and cannabis has remained a steady companion through the decades that followed.
The latest case involves a man named Diego Costa Silva in Ireland. He decapitated his wife, claiming he believed she was possessed by a serpent due to "cannabis-induced psychosis" - and that he had to remove her head to kill the snake entity. Two psychiatrists backed up his insanity plea, testifying that Silva genuinely suffered delusions and hallucinations from heavy cannabis use, rendering him legally not guilty by reason of insanity for the grisly murder.
As Marijuana Moment first covered, this study, published in the journal Current Alzheimer Research, reveals a significant reduction in cognitive decline among non-medical cannabis users, challenging the long-held belief that cannabis invariably impairs cognition. Instead, the findings suggest that cannabis may offer protective benefits against cognitive decline, a notion that runs counter to the stereotype of the "dazed and confused" stoner.
Michigan is considering establishing a specialized lab dedicated to testing marijuana. The primary goal is to ensure the accuracy of information provided by existing testing labs. Termed a " reference lab," its responsibilities would include scrutinizing results from other labs, investigating the potential entry of illegal marijuana into the legal market, and assisting in product recalls if necessary.
Carl Cameron, a co-founder of ACC, denounced the administration's reference to "cannabis pardons," claiming it's just hyperbole with no practical significance. Because Biden's October 2022 pardon did not release any prisoners and did not have jurisdiction over state-level drug charges, the ACC believes it was unsuccessful.
"The problem is we’ve funded this research that pretty conclusively shows that the THC concentration in the blood is not particularly well-correlated with impairment for driving," said Frances Scott, a DOJ physical scientist, on a recent podcast. "Maybe what we need to do is kind of get away from that idea that we can sort of have a number when it comes to marijuana and have that mean that you’re impaired."

The term "stoner" has journeyed from the fringes to the forefront of cannabis culture, undergoing a remarkable transformation along the way. Once wielded as a weapon to insult or demean, it has been reclaimed and now proudly serves as a badge of honor within the community.
This video cut the cannabis industry deeply because it violated human trust and a sense of "teamwork" among smaller operators as they try to navigate an already tough industry. While the violators may try to distract and lay blame on the illicit market, their actions, human to human, business to business, are despicable and when repeated over and over, destroy businesses and lives.

Greed ends up hurting everyone involved, those small mom-and-pop vendors relied on untrustworthy and people with poor character and got burned.
To put it simply, tetraploid seeds have four sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two. Creating tetraploid seeds isn't about genetic modification in the sci-fi sense; it's achieved through meticulous and labor-intensive cross-breeding techniques. By applying certain treatments to the cannabis plants, breeders can encourage them to develop this extra set of chromosomes.
