Bloody clever apes, hope they checked the plants they were using weren't illegal 😀 hightimes.com/news/orangutan-observed-using-medicinal-herb-to-heal-wound/'Wild animals have been seen eating cannabis, but it’s unclear why they are attracted to it. In the wild, mice and rats eat germinated hemp seeds, while moles, rabbits, foxes, deer, and dogs have been seen eating hemp leaves and stalks. And this doesn’t include insect pests that regularly chow down on cannabis leaves.' Wonder why 🤔

A reasonable guess but cannabis leaves don't contain large amounts of the trichomes that contain cannibinoids. Most cannabinoids are concentrated in the flowers of the plant which they seem to leave well alone, to produce edibles that are psychoactive for human consumption the flowers need to be 'decarboxylated' anyway, probably the same for all mammals. It's more likely imo that they found some health benefit, same with hemp seeds, birds and fish just love them, they're probably one of the most nutritionally valuable foods there is from what I've read. Deer (and I think foxes) and the amanita muscara mushroom 🍄 is a different matter entirely, they definitely eat them with the intention of getting thoroughly twatted 😀

Making a point of banning a legal drug, alcohol, from an event promoting legalisation of a currently illegal drug seems a bit of an odd thing to do. Unless I'm missing an underlying message. And I fully agree with their approach to the war on drugs as in its failed and its time to look at a new way forward.

Thailand to revert to medical use only, I'm guessing things will carry on as they were and local police will enforce a 'tax' like they do with gambling 🙂 Still very disappointing. hightimes.com/news/thailand-prime-minister-aims-to-re-list-cannabis-as-narcotic-by-end-of-2024/A quote from the opposite viewpoint - "Prasitchai Nunual, secretary-general of Thailand’s Cannabis Future Network, argued that moving to recriminalize would hurt the economy, small businesses, and consumers. “Many people have been growing cannabis and opening cannabis shops. These will have to close down,” he told Reuters. “If scientific results show that cannabis is worse than alcohol and cigarettes then they can re-list it as a narcotic. If cannabis is less harmful, they should list cigarettes and alcohol as narcotics too.” Well that would exhibit far more common sense tbf 😄

Marijuana prohibition the greatest scientific fraud of the last century? I'd say in terms of damage to the planet, lives ended prematurely unnecessarily, years of life lost to unjust incarceration and lives impacted by illness and disease needlessly, that it's by far the greatest scientific fraud ever. cannabis.net/blog/opinion/why-marijuana-prohibition-is-the-greatest-scientific-fraud-of-the-last-century'When it comes to cannabis researches, let’s allow the facts to tell the story. 85% of all the researches on “drugs” is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). This should give an indication as to where these researches will be directed towards. You can be sure that the major focus of the NIDA is towards marijuana prohibition when it comes to research on cannabis. Analysis has shown that between 2000 and 2018, $1.56 billion has been directed by the US, UK, and Canada into cannabis research. Over 50% of this funding has been directed towards the negative effects of cannabis. The NIDA is the largest funder with over $1 billion but this has been majorly directed towards exploiting misuse and the negative effects. On the account of these researches, bodies like the NIDA can continue to promote cannabis as a harmful drug as opposed to the beneficial drug that we know it is.'

The results of this study were congruent with the prior unpublished studies of a hemp extract containing significant percentages of THCV, CBDV, and CBD,” researchers concluded.'

I've only searched headlines on Google but I can't seem to see any Daily Mail reports on this historic announcement 🤔 Maybe even they are beginning to glimpse a naked emperor 😳 Anyhow, it's obviously causing quite a stir in the real world. www.marijuanamoment.net/lawmakers-advocates-and-stakeholders-react-to-bidens-marijuana-rescheduling-announcement/?'But the action is being largely praised as a historic step in the right direction, with the federal government recognizing for the first time in over 50 years that cannabis has accepted medical value and a lower abuse potential than other drugs in Schedule I such as heroin.'

www.marijuanamoment.net/frequent-marijuana-use-doesnt-make-people-less-motivated-or-cause-paranoia-study-finds/“Much of this myopia comes from its historical criminalization, preventing a neutral and clear-eyed evaluation of cannabis’s harms and benefits alike,” they wrote. “This led to a distorted view of cannabis and cannabis users, to the point where contemporary ethicists seriously claim that recreational cannabis use is unethical, morally illicit, and never warranted. Such moralization helps clarify why cannabis users are stereotyped as lazy, uneducated, and possibly criminal.” Spot on 👍

I dont get the munchies now like I used to for some reason.Maybe just an age thing . There is probably a medical explanation for this, as with everything else. When you get older your metabolism gets down and your blood pressure gets up - very very generally speaking, ok. What happens (among other things) when you smoke cannabis (generally speaking again, it depends also on amount and type etc) is that your metabolism gets up, and that's why some (most?) want to have some biscuits, candy afterwards, called munchies (just like a shop I found online). Studies have shown that the blood sugar is just marginally affected (lowered). So if you don't feel these munchies that much these days your normal state probably is a somewhat lower metabolism than you used to have. What cannabis smoking does is also lowering the blood pressure during the time when you're smoking it. By age your blood pressure gets higher. Therefore not so many fainting attacks among the somewhat older smokers during the smoking if standing up all of a sudden, since the blood pressure is already somewhat higher among them. Namely, a body must get to a certain level when it comes to blood pressure and metabolism to feel it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know how the political parties in England would answer the question legalizing cannabis or not, but here is what ALL our Swedish political parties believe in, both within the government and the opposition parties. Source: our grand Valkompassen, facts prior to the EU Election in Sweden, SVT (our national tv).
: Very bad suggestion!
C The Center Party We in the Center Party want each country to decide for themselves on social issues, such as care, school, health and the labor market. The Center Party does not support the legalization of cannabis in Sweden.
KD The Christian Democrats We want a drug-free society. We say no to drug liberalism and the legalization of cannabis and other drugs. Sweden, and most other countries, have joined the UN General Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which limits drug use to medical and scientific use. We also safeguard the national responsibility to develop criminal law and the definition of drug offences.
L The Liberals The Liberals do not want to legalize cannabis in Sweden, and the issue should not be handled at EU level either.
M.P The Green Party The Green Party does not want to legalize cannabis, as we believe it would increase the availability of cannabis in society. In order to reduce the abuse and dependence of cannabis and other drugs, it is important to have preventive social efforts as well as helping people out of addiction.
M The moderates We stand behind the Swedish legislation and are against legalizing cannabis. Each member state chooses whether or not it wants to criminalize its own use of cannabis.
S The Social Democrats We do not want to see any loosening of legislation or legalization of drugs.
SD The Sweden Democrats The Sweden Democrats stand behind the Swedish drug legislation. We do not believe that the EU should have the power to liberalize drug legislation in the member states, but that this is a matter for these countries to decide themselves.
V The left party The Left Party believes that the EU should not interfere in Swedish drug policy. Allowing drugs that are currently illegal only means that the market expands and that more people are at risk of becoming addicted to drugs.
🤠
Almost not a single fuck wants to legalise any drug in this country; we must be the most anti drug country in this world. If you'd suggest such a thing here, anyone would shake their head

It makes no sense to treat a plant you can grow in your back garden more or less the way we do. And as ely has highlighted many times the loss we've had in medical research because of this approach will eventually be exposed and we'll hang our heads in shame eventually...
