Turns out people have been using coca/cocaine in Europe for 400 years. Forensic archaeology identifies cocaine in preserved brains from 1600s Italy, pushing back our understanding of its arrival in Europe by two centuries sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Finally, judges are starting to see through the smoke of propaganda… if alcohol use and owning a gun are fine, then so is the use of cannabis. #CriminalJusticeReform #WarOnDrugs #PrisonIndustrialComplex marijuanamoment.net/federal-ban-on…

I can’t tell you how sad it is to see what toxins our young men & women have been exposed to. It makes sense that their endocannabinoid system (ECS) would be damaged. That’s why cannabis gives many relief. Photo courtesy of Pixabay. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39241906/#Gulf… #CannabisIsMedicine

I can’t help but hope cannabis legalization played a role as people use the plant instead of opioids. Cannabis (marijuana) was listed in the US Pharmacopeia in 1850 as a treatment for opioid withdrawal & pain. #OpioidOverdose #CannabisMedicine #Addiction npr.org/2024/09/18/nx-…
