now they're focusing on growth!
The environment is something they will bother themselves with later ...

Let's hope there's still one to bother about when they're ready 🤔

"The Swedish state won't neither be a pimp nor a drug dealer".

Latest political statement regarding getting tax income from certain industries.

If they tax pharmaceutical products or allow pharmaceutical companies to sell their wares technically they are.

Don't the government run your alcohol sales in state shops?

Cannabis has no medical value..

"Cannabis users had better outcomes and mortality compared with non-users,” says the report, authored by researchers at Northwell Health in New York. “The beneficial effect of cannabis use,” it adds, “may be attributed to its immunomodulatory effects.”

There is a UK company selling CBD infused tampons with apparently good reviews so this makes sense.

www.marijuanamoment.net/cbd-vaginal-suppositories-improve-menstrual-pain-and-lead-to-lower-use-of-painkiller-drugs-new-study-shows/?

"Most CBD participants reported at least moderate improvement of symptoms,” authors wrote, with 72.9 percent reporting at least moderate improvement after one month and 81.1 percent reporting at least moderate improvement after two months.

Participants also reported more relief when using the suppositories more often.

“Increased suppository use was significantly associated with greater reduction of symptoms,” the report says, “suggesting a potential dose-dependent response.”

Good on her 😀

www.marijuanamoment.net/texas-house-candidate-smokes-marijuana-while-calling-for-legalization-in-new-campaign-ad/

'Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) “wants to both regulate and ban these products,” Duval said. “It doesn’t take a genius to figure out you can’t do both of these things.”

“Fortunately, we don’t have to choose between safety and legalization,” she said. “We can and should have both—but it’s going to take leaders who know enough and care enough to do what’s right.”

The times they are a changin' as one famous cannabis consumer once sang 🙂

[elystokie]

It's time to follow science in this country too, enough people have suffered and died from illnesses that could have been treated were it not for banning substances far safer than the one most adults use -

www.marijuanamoment.net/harris-should-fulfill-her-promise-on-marijuana-and-also-decriminalize-psychedelics-independent-candidate-cornel-west-says/?

"Brothers and sisters, I call on VP Harris to not only fulfill her promise on cannabis legalization but, in the name of mental health and addiction, to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA, and Ibogaine,” he said.

“The War on Drugs has devastated our communities—we must end it, expunge records, and offer real second chances. Science and compassion demand it,” West said. “Let’s support small businesses and home growers while building an economy rooted in truth, justice, and love. It’s time to hold our leaders accountable.”

Of course if Trump gets in all bets are off, he'll likely bow to pressure from religious loons and the emperor will be completely naked once more.

[elystokie]

I wonder why this would be happening 🤔

www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-use-by-older-americans-has-nearly-doubled-in-the-last-three-years-aarp-backed-study-shows/

"A new study supported by AARP shows that marijuana use by older people in the U.S. has nearly doubled in the last three years—with most saying they use cannabis to relieve pain, help with sleep, improve mental health and achieve other benefits."

Each to their own but even if I didn't have a cannabis prescription I'd certainly rather be in less pain illegally than comply with a ridiculous law that was introduced without any evidence whatsoever 🤷

[elystokie]

Surprise, surprise 😂

Nixon tape uncovered - "Marijuana not particularly dangerous"

That wanker is responsible for millions of years people have erroneously spent in jail worldwide and countless deaths with his false rhetoric and laws.

www.marijuanamoment.net/nixon-admitted-marijuana-is-not-particularly-dangerous-in-newly-discovered-recording/?

"President Nixon, the man who signed the bill into law to put marijuana in Schedule I, who kept it in Schedule I after the Shafer Commission report, and who created the Drug Enforcement Administration through administrative action didn’t believe marijuana was addictive or dangerous,” Hanna told Marijuana Moment.

“Jack Herer declared in 1973, ‘The Emperor Wears No Clothes,’ in his book by the same name,” Hanna said. “Through the release of the audio I found, we now have definitive proof of the Emperor himself admitting in private that he knew he was naked.”

*The Shafer Commission Report was carried out by a group of politicians hand picked by Nixon, he was convinced they'd find the evidence he needed thanks to the views they held.

When they didn't but instead recommended decriminalisation, he completely ignored it.

Wanker.

Once (more) people realise how much safer it is this will happen in this country, largely regardless of what the law says.

Not hard to see (just one of the places) where the objections to legalisation do and will come from..

www.marijuanamoment.net/six-u-s-states-report-setting-new-monthly-marijuana-sales-records/?

"Earlier this month, a separate report from Bloomberg Intelligence projected that increased consumer access to legal marijuana “may extend indefinitely” the slumping sales of wine and spirits, saying that the legalization movement continues to pose a “significant threat” to the dominance of the alcohol industry as people substitute cannabis for drinking."

Big move by the DEA, albeit reluctantly 😀

Not to mention belatedly by around 50 years 🤦

Less people dying of liver failure, less women being beaten up by drunken partners and less fatal drink drive accidents. Seems like a winner to me 🤔

I've been trying to estimate how much, in terms of percentage spend, legalisation would save on the NHS budget 🤔

Obesity is another one, costs society an absolute fortune, you rarely see massively obese weed users, coincidentally they don't tend to drink much 🤷

The NHS should grow their own, the investment would pay for itself many times over.

Rather spookily 🤔

In the US -

www.marijuanamoment.net/nationwide-legalization-of-medical-marijuana-could-save-29-billion-in-annual-health-insurance-costs-study-finds/?

"Although the effect does not begin until seven years post-medical cannabis law implementation,” the authors of that study concluded, “there is a significant and sizable reduction in health insurance premiums” in states that legalize medical marijuana."

Since it's 'so dangerous' how can this be the case 🤔

Time to end the utter nonsense in the UK and save some lives and money.

[elystokie]

Quite amusing and very pertinent

What an absolute hero Dr David Nutt is, no wonder he's an inspiration to the younger generations.

The government commissioned him, as Chief Drug Advisor, to do a study on drugs, unfortunately the evidence didn't match the policies, he refused to lie about it and was duly sacked 😂

Sadly people of my own generation are too brainwashed by 1980s TV adverts and Daily Mail rhetoric to actually see the truth.

www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/wellness/david-nutt-psychedelic-mental-healthcare-lsd-mdma-ptsd-drug-development-b1137630.html

"I was sacked by the Government for telling the truth about these drugs. Of course the world went mad, because everyone had been taught to say that LSD was a very dangerous drug and blah, blah, blah — bollocks!"

Finally.
A 30 mins interview with the Swedish social minister on tv. Two topics: Israel. Drugs.

Israel: The left side is very much about antisemitism, so they shouldn't be a part of an eventual redgreen new government. We see the antisemitism against jews around the world and it's the left side leading the way.
Even if not said word by word: we support Israel 100%.

Drugs: We won't start another investigation about drugs. The Swedish drug policy has been VERY successful in an international comparison. Statistically only half the amount of young people in Sweden compared to other countries (with another drug policy) test drugs.
Even if not said word by word: 474 dead in a year is not our focus. To prevent people testing drugs is the main goal. Drugs is something Satan want us to have to destroy us. Try and you're already lost.

I believe they think from the very first mg or pill your brain will be irreparably destroyed and you will become something else.

We do lot of polls here about everything. Let's see what it says.

Interesting study -

www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-use-does-not-impact-working-memory-and-other-brain-processes-american-medical-association-study-finds/?

'A separate study of teens and young adults at risk of developing psychotic disorders found that regular marijuana use over a two-year period did not trigger early onset of psychosis symptoms—contrary to the claims of prohibitionists who argue that cannabis causes mental illness. In fact, it was associated with modest improvements in cognitive functioning and reduced use of other medications.'

I know a lad in Cambridge that works in a youth mental facility, in the ten years he's worked there they've had no cases of cannabis induced psychosis whatsoever.

More on Nixon and his naked emperor campaign -

www.marijuanamoment.net/newly-discovered-nixon-tapes-expose-the-lies-behind-marijuanas-criminalization-op-ed/?

"Since its inception, the campaign to criminalize marijuana and to stigmatize those who use it has been largely based on hyperbole, stereotypes and outright lies. This fact was reinforced recently by newly surfaced audio tapes showing that Richard Nixon—one of the primary architects of modern-day cannabis prohibition—privately expressed skepticism of his administration’s efforts to crack down on the plant and its consumers."

"You can walk into any store in Florida and buy beer, but you’d be locked up for buying marijuana,” a supporter says in the ad titled “Different” that was released on Tuesday. “It’s actually safer than alcohol, but the government treats it totally different. It doesn’t make sense.”

No it doesn't, in any way whatsoever 🤡

'Walz’s cannabis record stands in stark contrast to former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), who has voiced support for states’ rights to legalize but voted against bipartisan banking legislation that passed in committee. Vance has also argued that states that have enacted legalization should increase enforcement activities, complained about the smell of cannabis multiple times and suggested that its use can lead to violence.'
