Why can't this cult, just occasionally, tell the fucking truth? 😡 www.marijuanamoment.net/theres-no-evidence-of-widespread-fentanyl-laced-marijuana-federally-funded-study-finds-as-jd-vance-again-sounds-alarm-to-the-issue/?'There’s “no evidence” to support the idea that there’s a widespread trend of illicit marijuana being laced with fentanyl, a new federally funded study concludes. But Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the GOP vice presidential nominee, is continuing to peddle that claim.' “This study’s failure to identify cannabis as a significant risk factor for inadvertent fentanyl exposure is reassuring. That said, concerns that marijuana sold on the unregulated market may be of variable quality and purity are valid,” Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML, said. “However, the best way to address these concerns is by taking cannabis products off street corners and placing them behind the counters of licensed businesses, where they are lab tested and labeled accordingly.” |

Common sense, didn't see it coming this soon in Ireland, Dame Caroline Black did a drugs commission in the UK several years ago, ludicrously, suggestions of legalisation or decriminalisation were vetoed prior to it being carried out by the government 🤦🤡 www.marijuanamoment.net/legislative-committee-in-ireland-calls-for-marijuana-legalization-and-decriminalization-of-all-illicit-drugs/?'Indeed, many of the 59 recommendations from the special committee focus on shifting the paradigm around drug control from one of punishment and stigma to one of health and harm reduction. That’s the core of the first six recommendations laid out in the committee’s description of its interim report, which includes findings that “the stigmatisation of drug use and the shaming of drug users are a source of significant harm” and that “the goal of drug policy should be to reduce harm and eliminate stigma.” To that end, it says, “the decriminalization of possession for personal use should apply equally to all illicit drugs.” And while “people should be offered all supports and health resources that are required,” it adds, “no person should be criminalised for not availing of a supportive intervention.” When it comes to marijuana, the committee is calling on health and justice officials to “undertake a body of research into how a regulated drug market could operate in Ireland beginning with cannabis, and how Ireland can incorporate and implement the learnings of other jurisdictions that have taken positive steps in this regard.” 🍀💚 |

Another study confirming teen cannabis use has steadily reduced since States started legalising. www.marijuanamoment.net/teen-marijuana-use-dropped-in-u-s-as-states-enacted-legalization-new-study-using-federal-data-shows/?'A newly published study tracks what it calls a “significant decrease” in youth marijuana use from 2011 to 2021—a period in which more than a dozen states legalized marijuana for adults—detailing lower rates of both lifetime and past-month use by high-school students nationwide. 'The findings run contrary to claims from legalization opponents who said the policy change—first enacted in Colorado and Washington State in 2012—would lead to skyrocketing cannabis consumption by teens.' So the prohibitionists were wrong 🤔 Again. |

How many people suffering immense pain from fybromyalgia could be helped if we got rid of this ridiculous law thats been proven to be based on nothing but racism and hyperbole? Fuck the Daily Mail  www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c87g5qjz8jxo"I used to think cannabis was terrible, illegal... my view's definitely changed," said Barbara Northall, 53 and from Stourport in Worcestershire, who has been using medical cannabis for more than a year. 'The holistic therapist uses it as pain relief for fibromylgia, a condition that causes pain all over her body.' ""Long-term it’s helped me to come off my opioids medication... it's a shame you can't get it off the NHS doctor." It's also a shame folk aren't allowed to grow their own, in their garden, over the summer, using zero power, helping the environment, the NHS, the taxpayer, in fact pretty much everybody except drug cartels and pharmaceutical companies would benefit  |

Current guidelines and restrictions often limit access to certain medications that could help manage pain and improve quality of life for those with fibromyalgia. If these laws were relaxed, more patients might have access to a wider range of treatments, including those that have shown promise in other regions but are not widely available in the UK due to regulatory constraints. |

It would also be far easier to carry out research to help with other illnesses. Fibromyalgia is caused by an endocannabinoid deficiency, we'd know which combination of cannibinoids worked best, for all patients, or individually by now, were it not for the efforts of the Daily Mail and the like. The problem is a plant is not patentable so there's no money to be made, patients, with a little guidance, could grow their own medicine and that simply wouldn't do 😡 |

I definitely don't think giving weed to kids is a good idea. I think they should legalise it tomorrow though. |

We can carry on as we have done, listening to the absolute bollocks spouted by the likes of the Daily Mail, or we could take notice of a qualified expert that's researched the matter in depth 🤔
I'm pretty confident which would give us the better outcome.

According to a report yesterday the Swedish local police found a joint at the airport near Stockholm. What was more interesting about it was the fact it was held by a person with dark skin whose intentions were to smoke it right there close to one of the walls sitting down.
They called for back up and one van from their special forces came to rescue. Hopefully everyone survived ...

Interesting study - www.marijuanamoment.net/cannabis-treatment-reduces-chronic-nerve-pain-with-minimal-to-no-side-effects-new-scientific-review-finds/?“The potential benefit of cannabinoids is that they are naturally derived drugs that have already been shown to have the potential to effectively decrease chronic pain with minimal side effects as compared to the standard drugs being used,” the review concludes. “The ability of cannabinoids to provide pain relief with minimal side effects and concurrently be a naturally derived product may potentially be a life-changing alternative that the pharmaceutical market is in dire need of.” Many, many people could reduce or eliminate their need for pharmaceuticals and cut down on alcohol, I know more than one person that combine the two to get relief. They could also grow medicine for themselves, their family and their friends. And that's what some people with considerable political/media influence will try and make sure we don't get in this country, once we do they know we won't be going back. Duplicitous wankers. |

The last info there doesn't make sense, legal for you should be allowed. Historically very little makes sense when it comes to cannabis law, the law is/was one big con. Thankfully little has changed in Thailand on the weed front and according to the owner of the cannabis dispensary I went to last night it's not likely to anytime soon 🙂 Hooray for common sense. |

On chronic pain alone, £4 billion a year could be saved by the NHS. Instead let's lock people up for growing it 🤦 www.cicouncil.org.uk/medical-cannabis-could-save-nhs-4-billion-each-year/'The research found that when a patient was prescribed medical cannabis for chronic pain, instead of alternative treatments, this saved the NHS £729 each year, as well as improving health outcomes.' I doubt anyone will be reading this in the Daily Hate anytime soon 🤔 |

Had a good chat today with a Singaporean chap who owns a cannabis cafe here in Bangkok.
He previously owned a chain of 13 candy stores spread over Asia but covid saw him lose the lot.
Best weed I've found so far in terms of both quality and price.
Another of a seemingly growing number of people I speak to that think sugar is a cause of cancer.
He actually said - "I used to cause cancer, now I cure it" 🙂

Of course, too much sugar in other biological aspects isn't good either and sugar from real fruits is much better. Adding is never a good thing. Pure stuff is better. |

It might be the refining process, I'm not sure tbh, either way it's the refined stuff that the vast majority people are consuming and what's causing a lot of obesity and other health issues. So it's a terrible drug even without the cancer link, it needs taxing heavily and the public need to be better advised. |

marcusoscarsson.se/ovantad-upptackt-supervanligt-livsmedel-ska-undvikas-forsta-tre-aren-i-livet/I know, it's in Swedish. But I was inspired by what Elystokie just wrote about sugar. You could perhaps copy and paste and run some of the text in google translate or something to get a fast translation to English. Or feel satisfied with my short summary here: If you eat sugar during your first 3 years on Earth you will increase your risk of getting diabetes 35% later in life and there is also a 20% higher risk of getting high blood pressure later in life. The study was conducted at the McGill University in Canada and at the University of California, USA. There were limits regarding the sugar consumption after the war, 40 gram per day and when the limit was gone 80 gram. Naturally, you start wondering, did I consume sugar back then? Hmm. Not that much, I think. 80 gram sounds much to me. When they talk about "sugar" here, I suppose they mean the refined white version and not the natural sugar content in milk and fruit for example.

Most people back then had 2 teaspoons of sugar in their cup of tea and, in my family anyway, drank copious amounts of it. |

I'm sure I never got that anyway, since I never used a baby bottle. My parents tried to give me a pacifier once, they told me, but I just kept throwing it away. I always went for the real deal. I did have a long distance relative though who got a sweet orange drink in his baby bottle. |

Most, if not all babies, prefer the real deal, breast milk contains large amounts of anandamide, which is a cannabinoid we all produce and which has a very similar chemical structure to THC and acts on the same receptors. There is in fact a strain of cannabis called 'Mother's Milk', I doubt it's a coincidence 😉 |
