I found this real interesting.

Wouldnā€™t it be great if Iran and Aphganistan,Lebanon, Hindu Kush in Kashmir were all getting into there landraces and opening up for visits from tourists,
Every time I look at these countries and see how Beautiful they areā€¦with populations that will never reach reach there full potential, because of religion or politicsā€¦it so pisses me of.

Letā€™s all just be friends

IMO itā€™s BS to say cannabis retails is opening on Main Street - only a magazine of the corporate oligarchy would say that. ā€œMain Streetsā€ usually refers to local Mom & Pop businesses and the corporate duopoly has made sure we donā€™t have that, except in Maine and Oklahoma.

only posting because this is tangentially related to cannabis - the governor in my state closed down the cannabis industry while leaving alcohol & cigs open - this is one of several non-partisan reports to find that lockdowns worldwide (and deprivation of civil rights) did nothing to save lives during COVID -

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Policy Responses on Excess Mortality

As a way of slowing COVID-19 transmission, many countries and U.S. states implemented shelter-in-place (SIP) policies. However, the effects of SIP policies on public health are a priori ambiguous as they might have unintended adverse effects on health. The effect of SIP policies on COVID-19 transmission and physical mobility is mixed. To understand the net effects of SIP policies, we measure the change in excess deaths following the implementation of SIP policies in 43 countries and all U.S. states. We use an event study framework to quantify changes in the number of excess deaths after the implementation of a SIP policy. We find that following the implementation of SIP policies, excess mortality increases. The increase in excess mortality is statistically significant in the immediate weeks following SIP implementation for the international comparison only and occurs despite the fact that there was a decline in the number of excess deaths prior to the implementation of the policy. At the U.S. state-level, excess mortality increases in the immediate weeks following SIP introduction and then trends below zero following 20 weeks of SIP implementation. We failed to find that countries or U.S. states that implemented SIP policies earlier, and in which SIP policies had longer to operate, had lower excess deaths than countries/U.S. states that were slower to implement SIP policies. We also failed to observe differences in excess death trends before and after the implementation of SIP policies based on pre-SIP COVID-19 death rates.

hereā€™s another:

Agreed. Governments, state and local turned pot into their very own Golden Goose business. But IMO, sooner or later itā€™s going to back fire as more people learn to grow their own and share or sell to others at an affordable price. (For $309 you can get a complete tent set up including lights, fan etc.)

Turns out that cruel, medieval denial of pain meds to the chronically ill didnā€™t work so well! More of them ODā€™d and committed suicideā€¦

Iā€™m pretty sure I saw dozens of psylocibin shrooms on my dog walk yesterday - of course Iā€™m too scared to try them - I need an expert advisor friend or testing lab or somethingā€¦

These current medical findings seem to indicate cannabis hyperemesis is real, but it is actually caused by an uncommon genetic trait, not by overindulgence in cannabis or by high doses of thc.

Rather, there are some individuals who are not able to metabolize large amounts of thc normally.

Personally I wouldnā€™t rule out pesticides either, but given that more people are smoking cannabis (legally) than ever before, it would be statistically plausible that this phenomena would now be observed more frequently by doctors.

I think the genetic testing idea is very promising as a way to stop the media, medical community, and politicians from using CHS as a way to demonize cannabis users and high potency cannabis.
