Legal to over 50% of the country and used by millions across the country.  While they are the most commonly used cannabinoids, the cannabis plant contains many other medically beneficial cannabinoids including THCV. Although THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) is similar to THC, it contains its own unique benefits.

What’s Next For Legal Marijuana

Going into 2025,  the cannabis industry will have to be more limber. 

The election is done and Donald Trump will be returning to the White House and Republicans having greater control in Congress. The election showed the majority of people want recreational in Florida, Nebraska will finally have medical marijuana, and cannabis wasn’t a deciding factor in swinging votes. With the House firmly in Republican hands, Mike Johnson has greater power to battle legal cannabis, but don’t count the industry out yet.

Nebraska, passed two ballot initiatives to legalize medical marijuana and regulate the industry on Tuesday. A whopping 67% of the public said yes, which is great for a traditional lyconservative state.  Nebraska was one of the few holdouts for medical marijuana. The legality of the ballot initiatives is being questioned regarding discrepancy over fraudulent signatures and fraudulent notarizations. It is a civil case with a ruling expected after the election is cleared up. The Governor spoke out against cannabis. Those arguing on behalf of the petitioners said there was no “clear and convincing evidence” of fraud, and throwing out entire petitions would punish thousands of Nebraskan voters. If the cannabis backers and voters win the civil suit, medical marijuana should start by the end of 2025.

While the initiative failed to reach the 60% of votes needed in Florida, it garnered an impressive 56% of public support. Showing the population of the sunshine state is for fully legal weed, but could be 4 years until it is available. There are issues are Governor DeSantis use of public assets to combat the issue, so my legal wrangling in Florida.
A portion of the industry supported the incoming president, but the biggest industry influence for the upcoming administration will be alcohol and pharmaceutical companies.  Alcohol alone is probably one of the biggest investors in the industry with over $13 billion. Wana Brands, which is partial owned by Constellation, launched hemp gummies that can be sold in most states and are as effective as THC gummies. A smart expansion of their products.
Cannabis is popular with the public with Pew Research saying 88+% of the population supporting legalization in some form.  Even the traditional AARP has come around to extoll the medical and wellness benefits of the plant.  A clearer pathway will be laid out in December with the DEA rescheduling.

Is An Old Fashioned Or A Gummy Healthier

Cocktails, beers, vapes, and gummies are all staples of social gathers – but is the cocktails or the vape better?

Alcohol has long consistent hold on society. Having been part of India, the Middle East and more, it has played a part in medicine, religion, intimacy and recreation for thousands of year. Yet alcohol has become the modern accepted intoxicant.  But is an old fashioned or a gummy healthier in today’s world?  Moderation is the key for both, but science comes down clearly on one side.

Cannabis and alcohol are two of the most widely used recreational substances, but their health impacts differ significantly. While neither is without risks, research suggests that cannabis may be the healthier option overall when used responsibly.

Alcohol consumption carries substantial health risks, especially with heavy or long-term use. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that excessive alcohol use leads to approximately 88,000 deaths annually in the United States. Alcohol is linked to liver disease, cardiovascular problems, and increased cancer risk. It can also exacerbate mental health issues and contribute to accidents and violence

Cannabis, on the other hand, has a lower risk profile. There have been no reported deaths from marijuana overdose, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. While smoking cannabis can have negative effects on lung health, alternative consumption methods like gummies, tinctures and oils avoid this risk. Cannabis is also less addictive than alcohol, with about 9% of users becoming dependent compared to 23% for alcohol.
Both substances impair cognitive function and motor skills in the short term. However, alcohol tends to have more severe immediate effects, including the risk of alcohol poisoning. Cannabis typically does not cause the intense hangover effects associated with alcohol use.
Moderate alcohol consumption may have some cardiovascular benefits, according to some studies. However, cannabis has shown promise in pain management and as a potential alternative to more dangerous opioid medications. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that researchers continue to explore.

While both substances carry risks, the available evidence suggests that cannabis is likely the healthier choice when compared to alcohol. It has a lower risk of overdose, less severe long-term health consequences, and potentially more medical applications. However, it’s crucial to note that the healthiest option is always moderation or abstinence from both substances.

DEA Delivers Gut Punch To Marijuana Industry

The DEA has worked hard to keep marijuana illegal – despite almost 90% believing it shouldn’t be.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has work diligently to turn the tide of legal marijuana. An agency built on the “War on Drugs” is doing everything to stop cannabis being available to the population and undercutting a vast amount of their efforts. And now again the DEA delivers gut punch to the marijuana industry. The agency is swimming upstream in the process as it is being recommended by Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration to them to reclassify cannabis in part do to the medical benefits. This goes along the American Medical Association and  the American College of Physicians encouraging the federal government to change based proven, science based medical help to a variety of patients including cancer, chronic pain, inflammation and more.
The  delay until post-election is do to the DEA’s inability to coordinate the next steps so they pushed the in-person testimony for the upcoming marijuana rescheduling until early next year. DEA director Anne Milgram is seen as anti-marijuana and more inline with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). When the current administration announced the move to reschedule, Director Milgam had a meeting with key DEA Leaders with “no note taking” and off the record. The DEA not rescheduling would go against the norm as they have always followed HHS and the FDA recommendations.

 

While both presidential candidates have expressed support for marijuana, a YOUGOV poll has indicated more people have faith in Harris to support the industry. The surprise is the fact is both Democrats (65%) and Republicans (31%) believe her administration would follow through. Pew Research, who has followed the mainstreaming of cannabis, has it at 88+% of the population is for some form of federal legalization.  Even AARP has moved toward legalizing marijuana, a key voting block for both parties. But, it seems, the DEA, is against the move and is hoping there is a change of heart in policy making.

In another slap to the cannabis industry, Milgram and the DEA have tried to stack the deck against cannabis. NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano said that he was disappointed but hardly surprised by the DEA’s decision to disproportionately include groups opposed to marijuana policy reform as designated participants. “The fight to end our nation’s outdated and failed cannabis prohibition laws has never been fought on a level playing field,” he said.

Can Cannabis Help During Flu Season

The cold weather is arriving and with it comes flu season…but maybe a type of cannabis can help.

The days are getting shorter and the weather a bit more difficult. Which drives people indoors and provides a great chance of catching something – like the flu. People packed together along with cold, dry air, which can weaken resistance, make it easier to catch the virus. But can cannabis help during flu season? As interest in natural remedies grows, many are exploring cannabis as a complementary option for managing discomfort during illness.

Studies show cannabis contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, which some believe could help alleviate flu symptoms. It can also help manage flu symptoms like pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. A key factor is how to consume and the dosage amount.  Smoking, including vaping, can aggravate the virus and the lungs.  The most soothing way would be via edibles, like gummies, or tincture/oils.

Pain Relief – Cannabinoids like THC and CBD have analgesic properties that may help alleviate body aches and headaches associated with the flu. By binding to pain receptors, cannabis can reduce the perception of pain and provide comfort.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects – The flu triggers inflammation as part of the immune response. CBD, in particular, is known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, This may help reduce swelling and discomfort in the respiratory tract.

Sleep Aid – Getting adequate rest is crucial for recovery. Cannabis, especially strains high in THC, can have sedative effects that may help those struggling with flu-related insomnia

Appetite Stimulation – The “munchies” effect of cannabis could be beneficial for flu patients experiencing reduced appetite. Maintaining proper nutrition is important for the body’s healing process.
Interestingly, some research indicates that cannabis may offer temporary respiratory relief.  It might help with bronchodilatation. Infrequent cannabis use has been shown to open airways for 15-60 minutes, potentially easing shortness of breath. Cannabis may act as an expectorant, helping to clear phlegm from the lungs and throat.

Cannabis may offer a natural approach to managing some flu symptoms, particularly pain, inflammation, and sleep disturbances. However, it’s not a replacement for proper medical care, hydration and rest. As research continues, there will develop a clearer understanding of how cannabis interacts with the immune system during viral infections. Always talk with a health professional if you have flu or flu like symptoms.

Did You Know Cannabis Is Part Of Diwali

It is the festival of lights and one of the most popular festivals for Indians, but diid you know cannabis can play a part?

From Mumbai to Texas, Diwali is a major Indian festival celebrated around the world. Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is a major festival celebrated primarily in India and by Hindu communities worldwide. It is often referred to as the Festival of Lights and symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

Did you know cannabis is part of Diwali? The festival has a complex relationship with cannabis that spans ancient traditions and modern concerns.  It is a part of 5 days of celebrations, light, reflections and feasting.  Homes and business put out rows of diyas to invite prosperity and dispel darkness.  It is customary to do a good clean of hte house and light it all up to bring light in home and life.

Cannabis, has deep roots in Hindu mythology and religious practices. The ancient Vedic texts mention cannabis, sometimes referring to it as “Vijahia” (source of happiness) or “Ananda” (laughter-provoker). Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, is closely associated with cannabis. According to the Rudrayamal Danakand and Karmakand, Shiva tells his consort Parvati about the benefits, elevating its status to a sacred plant. The use of cannabis in India dates back to ancient times, with evidence suggesting its presence as early as 1000 BC. The Atharva Veda, an ancient sacred text, refers to cannabis as a “liberator from sin” and “heavenly guide”. This long-standing cultural acceptance has led to cannabis being integrated into various religious and social practices.

Cannabis is an element of Diwali celebrations for all participants. Yogis or sadhus along with other Hindu mystics have been known to smoke a mixture of cannabis sativa and tobacco in order to enhance meditation. In Hinduism, it’s believed drinking bhang during religious rites can cleanse sins, unite one with Shiva, and avoid hell in the future. Priests, mystics and everyday Indians have been known to consume.

Bhang is an Indian edible preparation made from the leaves of the cannabis plant. Bhang is part of the ancient Hindu tradition and custom in the Indian subcontinent. In some parts of rural India, people attribute various medicinal properties to the cannabis plant. If taken in proper quantity, bhang is believed to cure fever, dysentery, and sunstroke, to clear phlegm, aid in digestion, increase appetite, cure speech imperfections and lisping, and give alertness to the body. Because the country’s legal definition of ‘cannabis’ does not include the leaves of the cannabis plant, it preserves the legality of bhang. Important festivals such as Holi and Maha Shivratri have traditionally seen people consume bhang.

Pace Yourself
Drink slowly and alternate between alcoholic beverages and water. This helps your body process the alcohol more efficiently and keeps you hydrated.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water after every alcoholic beverage. This practice helps counteract alcohol’s diuretic effect and reduces dehydration.
Avoid Mixing Drinks
Stick to one type of alcohol throughout the night. Mixing different types of drinks can increase the likelihood and severity of a hangover
