Can Marijuana Help Guys Be Better Dads

-

August 16, 2021

Some dads turn to cannabis to get the boost they need to play with their children when they can’t naturally turn it on.

Parenting is tough, the lack of sleep, learning new skills, helping guide a new life forward through multiple stages, sharing your life with someone, it can be stressful and hard. Alcohol is a factor in domestic violence and other issues that add strain to a family and to parenting. So, can marijuana help guys be better dads?

To date, little research has explored the topic at length. However, as is the case with most cannabis claims, scores of anecdotal findings fill the research void for many fathers.

In addition to self-reports, studies focusing on the effects of marijuana allow for dads to deduce for themselves if such experiences may improve their parenting. These are some of the most common benefits consumers claim.

Mood Enhancement

Playtime is an essential, can’t-miss way for dads to bond with their kids.

That said, even the most doting dads may find it difficult to play after a grueling day. With worries ranging from their child’s future to bills on the mind, switching into play mode can be trying at times. Some dads turn to cannabis to find the boost they need to play with their children when they can’t naturally turn it on.

There is little conclusive data to confirm the science, however, some suggest that the neurotransmitter anandamide, an apparent joy and happiness enhancer, could play a part. Others point towards dopamine, which has found increased levels in animals thanks to THC. However, a 2015 review found no link between its use and higher dopamine levels.

Pain Relief

After playing with the kids, your body can feel beat up. The unwelcome sensation can last a few days afterward as well.

Some dads say they find relief in cannabis. With studies backing its validity as a pain reliever, dads are just a small section of consumers turning to marijuana. Through the years, studies suggest cannabis may reduce pain in a myriad of conditions from multiple sclerosis to cancer to chronic pain.

Possible Calming Effects

Parents stand to benefit greatly from the calming effects of cannabis, however, lab studies have clouded that conclusion over the year.

Depending on the study, evidence may suggest marijuana reduces stress and anxiety levels. On the other hand, other researchers have concluded cannabis use increases a parents’ reliance on discipline.

Alcohol Replacement

Dads hoping to cut back on beer may find relief in cannabis. Many have already taken up the practice. A 2017 cannabis consumer group study found that 27% of 40,000 surveyed, or roughly 10,800 people, replaced beer with marijuana.

Vaccinated And Stressed? Tips For Peace Of Mind

COVID-19 stress is back with a vengeance. Here’s what you can do if you’re vaccinated and feeling anxious about getting sick.

The rise of coronavirus cases and stress surrounding the Delta variant is not pleasant. Especially for those people who stopped socializing and hanging out with loved ones in order to keep themselves and others safe. While the vaccine appeared to be the answer to the pandemic, that’s not the case. Vaccinated and stressed? Here are tips for peace of mind.

It’s understandable to feel stressed out and angry after complying with COVID-19 guidelines, getting vaccinated, and still feeling at risk for the disease. While breakthrough COVID-19 is rare, it’s still a scary fact that’s occurring to more and more people.

Act according to local transmission rates

While learning that Florida is dealing with a big rise of COVID-19 cases is informative and important, if you don’t live there, it’s not the most pertinent information when it comes to living your everyday life. Stay informed on your local transmission rates and know that if your community has a low rate of COVID-19 and a high vaccination rate, you’re very well protected.

If you’re an area with high rates of COVID-19 and low rates of vaccine, then the opposite is true. It would be helpful to wear a mask in indoor locations or crowded spaces since you’ll likely be exposed to a variety of people who may or may not be vaccinated.

Attend vaccinated events only

Vaccinated-only events are growing in popularity and are efficient ways of keeping everyone involved safe. While they may be a little controversial for the people you know who are not vaccinated, if they give you peace of mind, make sure that you only hang out with those who have their vaccine.

Know and expect change

If we’ve learned anything from living in a pandemic is the fact that things change fast. For your peace of mind, it’s best to have the mindset that things can change quickly, whether that means masking up or changing plans. In the near future, the virus, guidelines, and expert recommendations will change.

Hope these tips for peace of mind helped.

Does Running Damage Your Knees?

Runners are often linked with having knee injuries, but the evidence is confusing.

Running as a sport experienced a boom during the pandemic. When people wanted to distance themselves from others and carve out a little time for themselves, they turned to running, a relatively private activity that allowed them to get in their cardio, be alone with their thoughts and stay clear of danger. But does running damage your knees?

Running is one of the workouts that are most commonly connected with knee damage. Surprisingly, there’s not a lot of data that supports this claim. Long-time runners are quick to point out that knee damage is likely to occur when people run incorrectly, something that can be very common.

Here’s what we know about knee damage and running:

Running may curb arthritis and strengthen the knees

According to a study that compared runners to non-runners, the former are less likely to develop arthritis in their knees. While not wholly understood, this protection that runners experience might be due to the theory that runners have stronger knee cartilage. This extra tissue adds some protection to runners’ knees and makes it less likely for them to suffer from arthritis, something that non-runners don’t have.

Running poorly can result in knee pain and damage

Still, running incorrectly can result in knee pain and injuries and make it more common for runners to experience more lesions than non-runners. If running is the basis of all of your workouts, and you do it every day, then it’s likely you’ll develop some sort of knee injury or pain. In order to prevent this, you must use the right running shoes, and replace them if they wear out.

Building up other muscles in your body can also help you be more balanced when it comes to your running, preventing further injuries. Strength training over different areas of your body and increasing the intensity of your runs over time are all important elements for preventing injuries and for achieving your running goals.

Holy Smokes, These Nuns Who Grow Weed

The Sisters of the Valley strictly abide by lunar cycles for their work, as they believe this increases the healing powers of the plant.

Article by Marian Venini, originally published on El Planteo

Holy smokes, these nuns grow weed! Although they do not belong to any religious order, the Sisters of the Valley’s devotion is unquestionable. Also known as the “Weed Nuns”, these women are dedicated to growing cannabis and selling medicinal products derived from it.

Based in Merced (which means “mercy”, by the way), California, the organization has been working since 2015 and composed by women of all ages with a very clear goal: to share the medicinal benefits of cannabis and achieve its legalization. In addition, their end is to fight a medical system that has historically oppressed holistic medicine.

All their products are CBD based. CBD, unlike THC, is non-psychoactive so it has no effect on the mind, but it is a powerful pain reliever and myorelaxant. In recent years, crucial research has been conducted regarding the use of CBD to treat many conditions, such as epilepsy, cancer, arthritis, stress and depression, among others.

The Sisters of the Valley strictly abide by lunar cycles for their work, as they believe this increases the healing powers of the plant. According to them, the two weeks following the new moon are ideal for medicinal development. In fact, they even sell cheaper products that they have not been able to create within the corresponding cycle. Their products include oils, soaps, balms, topicals, tinctures, and more.

Activism As A Vow

Not being nuns in the strict sense, they do not take Catholic vows, but they do have some of their own. Not to a religion or a god, but to a particular lifestyle. They are committed to providing services to suffering people, to living simply, and to respecting nature and moon cycles. They also include a vow of chastity, but clarify that this does not necessarily imply celibacy.

One of their most important pledges is the activism vow: the Sisters commit to spending several hours a week fighting for progressive causes in their communities. These causes are not limited to those related to marijuana; the Sisters also lend their voice to feminist and social equality struggles, among others.

This is not at all surprising considering that the organization’s founder, Sister Kate, has been an activist for a decade. In 2011, the United States Department of Agriculture responded to Michelle Obama’s concerns about children’s health by declaring that pizza sauce could be considered a vegetable. Then, Christine Meeusen declared that “if pizza is a vegetable, then I am a nun”, and began to dress as such when assisting protests. She was part of the Occupy Movement in 2011 and earned the nickname “Sister Occupy.”

Having left her job in the corporate world, she is now known as Sister Kate, and she continues to use the habit to emphasize her spiritual commitment to her activity. She has also stated that “we need a new kind of nun”, as the archaic model no longer works.

Sister Kate and her partner, Sister Darcy, aim to create “spiritual and honorable jobs for women.” The only requirements are a strong social and ecological commitment, and the desire to live and work as a community. After working there two years, women can choose to become Sisters and take the vows. Of the current members, only one has a background in the Catholic Church.

An Ancient Calling

Their way of life has often been compared to that of the Beguines. In fact, they were a great source of inspiration for the Weed Nuns.

The Beguines were groups of Christian women that emerged in the 12th century. They engaged in charitable activities, worked independently, and owned land. They also produced literary material, took no vows and were allowed to leave the association whenever they chose to.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, their medicinal practices and their rejection of the Catholic Church caused many to be persecuted and even burned at the stake. The Sisters of the Valley cannot escape this comparison: they know that their rituals, their mission and way of life would have condemned them to fire a couple of hundred years ago. This is why they place so much emphasis on social struggles and applaud the growing cultural and gender diversity in the cannabis arena.

Holy smokes, these nuns grow weed and it is excited!

How To Know When It Might Be Time To Lay Off Marijuana

How To Know When It Might Be Time To Lay Off Marijuana

While marijuana dependence is said to only affect roughly 9%of users, millions of people are going to experience problems in their personal and professional life as a result of cannabis.

By all accounts, marijuana is the most popular drug in the world. Some of the latest statistics show there are somewhere around 35 million regular users all across the United States. It’s an impressive number, too, considering that weed is still illegal in most parts of the country. Right now, some 36 states have legalized it for medicinal use, while 18 (plus D.C.) have taken the concept up a notch and made it legal for adults 21 and older.

No matter how you slice it, there is a load of people smoking marijuana here in the Land of the Free, some of which, we are sad to report, may end up becoming casualties. Because while marijuana dependence is said to only affect roughly 9%of users, that still means that millions of people are going to experience problems in their personal life as a result of cannabis.

Unfortunately, the toll will only increase as marijuana use becomes more prevalent in areas post-legalization. So, for those of you worried about whether you might fall into this category, here are three signs that it might be time to lay off marijuana.

Legal Issues Because of Marijuana

People who encounter troubles with substance abuse almost always, at some point, meet the wrath of law enforcement. In a situation involving marijuana, the user might get arrested for weed during a traffic stop, or they may find themselves caught up in a bust after visiting a neighborhood street dealer. Even in legal states, where cannabis consumers can walk into a dispensary and buy the herb with the swipe of a credit card, there is plenty of room to find trouble.

Cannabis users might find themselves in front of a judge for foul-ups like stoned driving, possession violations, and other offenses — all of which come with their own hassles and hardships. Therefore, if marijuana-related legal woes start to become a regular event in someone’s life, especially in states where it is legal, that’s a pretty solid indication that the herb is occupying too much space in their world. After all, most cannabis users never end up in court because of it.

School Work Is Suffering

Marijuana is quickly becoming more popular than alcohol on college campuses. Some believe this is due to students trying to make healthier choices when it comes to times of inebriation. This shift is just one of the reasons that alcohol sales are reportedly starting to slip in the United States. But the same as alcohol has been known to cause problems for students — making them late for class, causing them to fail courses, lose scholarships, etc. — marijuana can have a similar impact for some.

Most students have no issue honoring their scholastic duties because of an affinity for weed. But when they do, it can be clear that their focus isn’t exactly where it needs to be to find success at school. It might begin with them being tardy for class, and then all at once, they aren’t showing up at all. Perhaps their dedication to the doobie might even lead to disciplinary action. All of these things can be signs that cannabis has become too prevalent in a young person’s life.

Problems At Work

For some, getting stoned after a long day at work is just what the doctor ordered. Marijuana is known for its ability to calm anxiety, lessen stress and just get the user into the right headspace to forget about the job for a while. Very rarely does this use interfere with a person’s ability to earn a living. But it is not beyond the scope of imagination that a person might want to experience the feel-good effects of the herb more than just after the day is done. These people might consume cannabis before work and even on the clock. Of course, in most cases, marijuana use is not tolerated in the workplace.

Showing up high can bring about its own fair share of troubles. It is also possible that excessive cannabis use could hinder a person’s productivity, making them a target for disciplinary action, or perhaps even landing them in the unemployment line. Any person willing to risk their livelihood to stay high, well, they may need to reevaluate everything.

Andrew Cuomo Is Out, Kathy Hochul Is In (And Hopefully So Is NY’s Cannabis Control Board)

Andrew Cuomo Is Out, Kathy Hochul Is In (And Hopefully So Is NY’s Cannabis Control Board)

Hochul has openly pushed for the legalization of adult-use cannabis in New York and emphasized its potential to generate “much-needed revenue for New York.”

Tuesday morning New York Governor Cuomo announced his resignation, a week after a report from the New York State attorney general concluded that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed nearly a dozen women. Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul will be sworn in as the first woman to hold the position of New York’s Governor.

Lt. Governor Hochul stepping in as New York’s governor should have an immediate and, in our view, positive impact on New York’s cannabis industry. We expect to see a lot of developments over the next two weeks, all of which we will be discussing during our upcoming webinar on August 17, 2021 with New York City Council Member Keith Powers (Register here!).

Before we get into the details, a brief refresher on the governor’s power pursuant to New York’s Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act. New York’s cannabis industry (recreational, medical, and hemp) will be in the hands of the Cannabis Control Board, a governing body which we have been waiting to be formed since the MRTA was signed into law on March 31, 2021. The CCB will be responsible for all aspects of cannabis, including the allocation of licenses, licensing regulations and requirements, and general oversight of the industry.

The CCB will be comprised of a 5-member board, with the governor appointing three members and the Assembly and Senate each appointing one member. The CCB’s chairperson will be nominated by the Governor.

As we have previously noted, it is difficult to overstate the importance of the CCB’s chairperson. The chairperson will have an outsized influence on the direction of New York’s cannabis industry. With so much leeway in issuing the industry’s rules and regulations, the chairperson has the ability to actually prioritize social and economic equity applicants, decrease the early head start that could be held by the existing ROs, and establish a sustainable licensing process. The chairperson is also, technically, the individual who makes the preliminary determination as to whether a given license should be issued.

Which begs the question: why hasn’t (didn’t) Governor Cuomo nominated anyone for either the CCB or the Executive Director for the Office of Cannabis Management before the end of New York’s legislative session on June 10, 2021. The overwhelming sentiment is that Governor Cuomo’s expected choice of Norman Birnbaum for Executive Director of the OCM was not going to be approved by the legislature. So in typical fashion, Governor Cuomo took his toys and went home. Here at the Canna Law Blog, we believe that the only reason Governor Cuomo reached a compromise with New York’s legislature on the MRTA as quickly as he did was because he needed a political win during the various political controversies enmeshing him early in 2021.

So where does Lt. Governor Hochul ascension leave us? She has openly pushed for the legalization of adult-use cannabis in New York and emphasized its potential to generate “much-needed revenue for New York.” In public appearances, she has highlighted the importance of an effective social equity program. Crucially, she also hails from Buffalo and has been an ally of Assembly Woman Crystal Peoples-Stokes, one of the sponsors of the MRTA.

There is so much political capital to be gained by swiftly nominating a chairperson for the CCB and getting the ball rolling on New York’s adult-use licensing process that it would be surprising if Lt. Governor Hochul delayed the process. We will continue to keep tabs on news coming out of Albany and again remind you to tune in to our upcoming webinar for an in-depth discussion of the current state of New York’s cannabis industry.

How To Treat A Summer Cold

Summer colds are incredibly annoying, but nothing to panic about. Here’s how to treat them.

Colds are more common during the winter, but they also happen in the summer, when they’re particularly terrible. Summer colds are usually associated with different viruses than the ones we experience during the winter. Still, there’s no need to panic, since colds can be easily treated and made better with the help of a few resources.

These colds are usually caused by the enterovirus, which thrives in hot weather. Here’s how you can prevent and treat a summer cold:

Wash your hands often

Washing your hands is a good way to avoid viruses in general, especially if you’re going out to places and are entering in contact with people and different places. All of the pandemic rules apply: wash your hands for over 20 seconds using soap and water. In the absence of that, use hand sanitizer.

Prioritize sleep

Sleeping is important for recovering from any virus or illness. In order to get your necessary rest, make sure to sleep 7 to 9 hours a night and to nap when your body asks for it. Sleep keeps your immune system functioning properly, helping it fight off any incoming infection.

Drink lots of water

Infections and hot weather make it more likely for your body to dehydrate quickly. If you’re experiencing a fever, it’s even more important to stay hydrated, since these symptoms can drain your body of fluids very rapidly.

Humidifiers and OTC medicines can help a lot

Humidifiers are super useful for getting relieving coughing and a stuffy nose. They can help you sleep better and thus recover more quickly. When it comes to over the counter medicines, these can help you cope with your symptoms, providing some temporary relief as your body fights off the infection on its own.

Make sure it’s not COVID-19

Lastly, it’s very important to get a COVID-19 test if experiencing cold-like symptoms, since you should take extra precautions in order to avoid exposing others. Monitor your symptoms, keeping an eye on fever, chills and difficulty breathing. If you have doubts, get tested at your nearest health center, avoiding exposing others and complications from the disease.

You’re Not Just Tripping: New Research Points To Cannabis’ Psychedelic Potential

As laws change and budgets are allocated, scientists are poised to augment, even rewrite, what we know about the potential of cannabis and its effects.

Prohibition of substances we call drugs, including cannabis, has been one of the greatest barriers to research funding and access, depriving us of their true potential.

Fortunately, that seems to be changing. In recent years cities like Oakland, California, and the entire state of Oregon, are legalizing drugs of all kinds, not only to reduce crime and stigma, but to also be able to study the possibilities for how they affect us.

Cannabis is not really a hallucinogen, though some users have reported experiencing similar symptoms after consumption. New research published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, however, indicates it could very well imitate the sense of “oceanic boundlessness” associated with psychedelics like psilocybin — a feeling of connection and worldly openness that contributes to psychedelics’ antidepressant effects.

The basis of the study was a self reported survey of over 850 cannabis users on their most intense experiences after consuming cannabis; nearly 20% described experiences that meet the criteria for oceanic boundlessness.

As more and more states legalize cannabis for millions of Americans, the nuances of how cannabis can serve patients of physical and mental ailments grows. It’s likely cannabis “could create some of the subjective effects that seem to underlie psilocybin’s antidepressant effects,” said Mick Earleywine, one of the study’s authors, albeit with lower intensity and much lower frequency.

Given the informal nature of the study (participants were not part of a clinical trial nor had their experiences qualified with lab tests), concrete conclusions can’t be drawn yet, but it’s an exciting development that quantifies how many people seek out cannabis for its therapeutic effects. As laws change and budgets are allocated, scientists are poised to augment, even rewrite, what we know about the potential of cannabis and its effects.

These Are The People Who Might Need COVID-19 Booster Shots Most

Many are awaiting for an extra layer of protection against COVID-19, but according to Dr. Fauci, these people could benefit from it most.

As the pandemic progresses and the Delta variant reaches more and more people, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections, appeared on TODAY to discuss the possibility of booster shots. Many are anxious to get these shots, which have yet to be approved.

“No vaccine, at least not within this category, is going to have an indefinite amount of protection,” said Dr. Fauci. “Inevitably, there will be a time when we’ll have to give boosts.”

Despite this, public health officials are only recommending booster shots for people with compromised immune systems. Dr. Fauci said that, according to the evidence that’s currently available, scientists at the CDC don’t believe boosters are absolutely necessary for all people. Per CNN, the FDA is expected to approve booster shots for immunocompromised people as soon as this week.

Those with compromised immune systems tend to produce less protection against the virus due to their weakened immunity, although this doesn’t apply to everyone. Immunocompromised people who developed poor responses to the vaccine might need the booster shot more than anyone else, using the extra shot as a way to help them develop a response to the vaccine similar to the response that the majority of the population had.

When it comes to the rest of the population, the CDC needs more time not only to understand the effect of the vaccine, but to notice any trends that may signal the vaccine is losing its effectiveness. Another factor that could be improved with a booster shot would be a new variant that is no longer protected by the original vaccine. As of now, we should wait more before panicking and making any rash decisions.

Beyoncé To Build Person Cannabis Farm

Beyoncé, the R&B queen and multi-award-winning singer, announced that she is building a cannabis farm to obtain her own CBD.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Beyoncé talked about the benefits of CBD, the non-psychoactive chemical component of marijuana.

“I discovered CBD on my last tour, and I’ve experienced its benefits for soreness and inflammation. It helped with my restless nights and the agitation that comes from not being able to fall asleep”, the star recounted.

In the story, which features her 40th birthday, the singer told how, during the pandemic, she “went from overindulgence to creating positive rituals drawing from past generations”.

In addition, Queen B lived up to her nickname and referred to the healing qualities of honey.

“I am now building a hemp and honey farm – I even have beehives on my roof! I’m so happy that my daughters receive examples of those rituals from me,” revealed the artist.

The Texas native goddess confirmed that she is working on new music and has been in the recording studio for more than a year.

She added: “I’ve been in the studio for a year and a half. Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies”.

Beyoncé is already familiar with cannabis

While this is Beyoncé’s first cannabis venture of her own, the artist is already well trained in the ups and downs of the cannabis industry. In fact, her husband, hit producer and rapper Jay-Z, has his own brand: Monogram, a cannabis, and lifestyle company owned by TPCO Holding Corp (OTC:GRAMF), which is already a resounding success in the U.S., boasting the likes of Chika and Curren$sy.

As El Planteo previously reported, the music industry mogul recently joined a new cannabis company, which is expected to become the largest in California.

The company was formed through a partnership between Caliva, Left Coast Ventures, Subversive Capital Acquisition Corp. (OTC:SBVCF), and Roc Nation, the entertainment company that Jay-Z launched in 2008.

The combined entity has been dubbed “The Parent Company” and Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, will take the title of “Chief Visionary Officer.”

On top of that, the company will take a proactive approach to social equity.

“While we know we can’t completely redeem the injustices created by the ‘war on drugs,’ we can help shape a brighter, more inclusive future,” Carter says. “The brands we build will pave a new path for a legacy based on equity, access, and justice.

“We are creating something people can trust and we are investing in our future, our people, and our communities,” he adds.
