And let’s not forget the irony of the Chevron Doctrine dying, throwing the entire legal framework into disarray. It was the year that federal policy reached peak confusion—a contradictory mess where even the lawyers couldn't figure out if we were winning or losing. And if you think 2026 is going to be any different, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. The chaos isn't slowing down; it’s just shifting gears. We’re entering a new phase where the only constant is unpredictability.

Medical cannabis prescribing in Australia operates through competing business models. Some clinics charge consultation fees for each appointment. Others eliminate these fees entirely through subscription-based delivery systems. Reddit discussions across r/MedicalCannabisOz, r/MedicalCannabisAus, r/MMJ, and regional forums reveal how patients evaluate these different approaches.

But sarcasm aside, this matters. Because now we have scientific confirmation—published in a peer-reviewed journal—of what rational people have been screaming into the void for 54 years: the Controlled Substances Act is not based on science. It's based on politics, racism, corporate protection, and authoritarian control.

There's a disturbing amount of noise on Twitter right now about the U.S. conducting military strikes in Mexico against drug cartels. Americans who've apparently learned nothing from history are cheering for drone strikes, Special Forces operations, and full-scale military intervention as the "solution" to the fentanyl crisis.

I decided to find out by diving into a Reddit thread on r/AskConservatives titled "Do any conservatives here oppose legalizing cannabis and why?" The responses were illuminating—not because they showed unanimous support for legalization, but because they revealed something much more interesting: genuine nuance, thoughtful debate, and perspectives shaped by lived experience rather than corporate talking points.

And now, as we enter 2026, we're facing what can only be described as an existential threat to cannabis legalization. Multiple states are considering rolling back their legal markets entirely. Federal rescheduling turned out to be a corporate giveaway rather than real reform. Hemp bans are crushing a thriving industry. The propaganda machine is working overtime with "scromiting" scares and heart attack fears.

How much do I actually need to grow to keep myself supplied year-round? Today, we're going to do the math. We'll figure out consumption rates, grow timelines, yields, and create an actual calendar showing you how to maintain a perpetual supply of homegrown cannabis without ever running out.

It starts with the basics. Grow your own food. Create a corporation with a group of people you trust. Use their own corporate laws against them. Buy land out in the middle of nowhere and begin developing. Use the corporate system to create privately owned neighborhoods and connect via an independent communications network. Create "off the grid" solutions and connect with other "off the grid" communities. The technology is there—mesh networks, solar power, cryptocurrency—use it. Build a world inside their world that they cannot touch.

GOP Senator Thom Tillis recently voiced his opposition to Trump's Schedule III rescheduling order, dusting off that old faithful propaganda chestnut: marijuana is a gateway drug. You know, the theory that smoking a joint inevitably leads to shooting heroin in a back alley while your life crumbles around you.

Researchers analyzed HIV patients—one of the most medically vulnerable populations you can study—and found that cannabis use was not associated with heart abnormalities. Let me repeat that for the people in the back: not associated with heart abnormalities.
