Why Have No States Legalized Marijuana Use For Pets?

Medical marijuana has been legalized, in some form, in 30 states across the U.S., but those laws only apply to humans. The legislation that allows doctors to prescribe patients marijuana to treat their ailments says little to nothing about using cannabis or CBD to treat pets. As a result, veterinarians have remained reticent to even discuss cannabis-related solutions to owners regarding their pets.

Dr. Jeffrey Powers is the chair of the American Veterinary Medical Association’s subcommittee on cannabinoids. He told Reuters that vets are fearful engaging in cannabis-related treatment could jeopardize their professional license with federal authorities. In fact, many vets have been instructed by their state veterinary boards not to even mention it as a treatment option, according to Reuters.

That includes a cannabis-friendly state like California. In a statement, the state’s Veterinary Medical Board told Reuters “veterinarians are in violation of California law if they are incorporating cannabis into their practices.” While conversations have started about introducing a bill in California that would legalize vets including cannabis as a treatment option since early this year, progress appears to be slow moving.

Instead, owners are currently responsible themselves for using cannabis or CBD to treat their pet. Colorado State University veterinary medicine researchers surveyed 1,068 dog owners nationwide this years, and nearly 80 percent admitted they purchased hemp and/or cannabis products for their pets. In addition, pet owners reported that pot products were nearly 44 percent more effective for a dog’s pain relief and 41 percent more effective for anxiety than conventional medicines,” writes Reuters.

Last year, Project CBD interviewed Dr. Gary Richter, DVN, who is an integrative medicine veterinarian based in Oakland and believes that cannabis is part of the holistic approach to animal medicine. He discussed how those interested in treating their pets with cannabis products should proceed.

“If at all possible talk to a veterinarian,” Richter said. “Cannabis is medicine and its dosing should be carefully calculated. It’s important to know the concentration of THC and CBD in milligrams for one’s pet. Once you have that information, you can look for a product that suits your pet’s needs. When in doubt, err on the side of under-dosing because you can always slowly increase the dose and monitor the effect.”

Because CBD and cannabis products are readily available for patients to use on their pets, and pet owners report them being more “effective” and are probably cheaper than going through a vet, there isn’t the same activist push for legislation. Until that happens, not much will change, as both the federal government and state veterinary boards oppose its usage on animals. There are vets fighting on behalf of rescheduling cannabis for pets other than California, but human usage has taken the priority in cannabis legalization activism for now.

Microsoft’s Underwater Data Center Live Broadcast!

In true Microsoft form, the company has a dramatic way of storing its data — inside an underwater datacenter that’s located near the Scottish coast. The datacenter was sunk in June 2018 with a pair of cameras that provide a live view on the structure and the fish that swim around it. Now is seems Microsoft’s underwater data center live broadcast for all to hear!

This data center is part of Project Natick, a study that’s being conducted in order to determine the feasibility of subsea data centers powered by renewable energy. According to Microsoft’s site, Project Natick wants to improve the quality of the Internet for populations that live near large bodies of water, predicting that future demands of the internet will be larger and people will need to have data resources located close to them.

Project Natick’s data centers plan on using green energy, which cause no harm to the water or sea life that surround them. “A Natick datacenter co-located with offshore renewable energy sources could be truly zero emission: no waste products, whether due to the power generation, computers, or human maintainers are emitted into the environment,” states Project Natick’s website.

The live-feed of the center shows nothing crazy and has no purpose besides showing the world some cute fish swimming around a big structure. Occasionally, a large fish will pop up, but that’s pretty much it. For a relaxing and a kind of “wow-technology-is-crazy” experience, check out the live feed on Project Natick’s website.

So when you are bored, you can tune into Microsoft’s underwater data center live broadcast.

India State Moves To Decriminalize Drugs

India State Moves To Decriminalize Drugs

In a surprise recently, India state moves to decriminalize drugs as they face a crisis. Sikkim chief minister Pawan Chamling in an official release announced that the state would no longer prosecute drug users, but rather look at them as patients to encourage treatment options instead of utilizing the current punishment of incarceration and a fine. Traffickers and dealers, however, will face even harsher penalties.

In an effort to engage youth, Chamling also said that he was in the process of reaching out to Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt to come to Sikkim and energize the message of resisting drug dependence.

These moves come at a time while India is facing its own opioid epidemic. In 2017, while the top two substances that were most popular in India as a whole were ganja then hashish, the next two most popular were opium and then opium’s mean derivative, heroin. Heroin may not have been as abundant as weed, but its use in India has experienced a sharp spike along with prescription opiate based pills.

India has a rich history in cannabis, starting thousands of years ago and in religious settings. When the 1961 international treaty Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs put marijuana in a category with hard drugs, the Indian delegation balked at the narrow mindedness of the idea and the lack of respect for their culture and religious practices.

The traditional ganja laced drink bhang was then left out of the bondage by which cannabis and other drugs were tied. In 1985 the Indian government passed the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Bhang was still excluded from being considered a drug, though regional bans did ensue over time.

As India as a whole works to re-legalize cannabis, this move by Chamling to decrim all drugs is a step in a similar and good direction. Using Portugal as an indicator, decriminalizing drug use means fewer cases of HIV/AIDS, fewer deaths and a better relationship between the government and its people.

Though the U.S. seems to be a long way from decriminalizing drugs, there are ways to get involved and spread the message that incarceration for victimless crimes is not the answer. Contact your local representatives, join forces with the Drug Policy Alliance and remember the wisdom in Sikkim’s government action. Though prosecuting dealers more harshly likely won’t do much to deter use, fewer people will be in jail and more will be getting treatment.

India state moves to decriminalize drugs and time will tell the success.

Why George R.R. Martin Can’t Help Killing ‘Game Of Thrones’ Characters

Everyone remembers where they were and who they were with the first time they witnessed the Red Wedding. “The Rains of Castamere,” recently rated by The Ringer as the third best episode in TV in the 21st century, marked a turning point for anyone watching “Game of Thrones.” If Ned Stark’s execution was a warning shot, the Red Wedding represented how real the stakes were in this show, regardless if you were a book reader or show watcher.

Give credit — or perhaps, blame — to the story’s author, George R.R. Martin. The writer has almost become a meme for his willingness to kill characters and inability to “finish the books, but he assigns inspiration to another highly-praised fantasy storyteller, J.R.R. Tolkien. As Martin revealed during The Great American Read, an eight-part PBS series around America’s 100 favorite novels, Tolkien was a huge influence on the type of bold storytelling choices found in A Song of Ice and Fire.

Martin encountered Lord of the Rings for the first time in junior high school, and “by the time I got to the Mines of Moria,” Martin said. “I had decided this was the greatest book that I had ever read.”

Via PBS:

…and then Gandalf dies! I can’t explain the impact that had on me at 13. You can’t kill Gandalf! I mean, Conan [the Barbarian] didn’t die in the Conan books, y’know. Tolkien just broke that rule, and I’ll love him forever for it. Because the minute you kill Gandalf, the suspense of everything that follows is a thousand times greater. Because now anybody could die. Of course that’s had a profound effect on my own willingness to kill characters at the drop of a hat.

California Carr Fire: When Cannabis Crops Go Up In Smoke

California Carr Fire: When Cannabis Crops Go Up In Smoke

Cannabis Cultivator Hilary Clarkson witnessed smoke encroaching from the fires up north about a week before they reached her. One morning she woke up at 7 a.m. in the San Lorenzo Valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains to see ash falling everywhere. Since Clarkson was off the grid, her family was not evacuated. She had to drive through 3.5 miles of flames to get to safety. Now, a year later, additional California fires rage on, threatening and burning a whole new harvest.

At the time, Clarkson was the operations manager of Old School Farms, a licensed medical marijuana farm formerly in Santa Cruz Mountain Organic Growers’ Service. Half of her cannabis crop, even though it didn’t burn down, was destroyed by smoke damage.

“We had already harvested and were trimming. We saved at least half of our crop because it was already encapsulated in storage tubs when we evacuated,” says Clarkson.

During the week-long evacuation, meth-heads who knew there was abandoned cannabis in the area attempted to loot the farmers’ harvests. Cultivators who were defending their property fired gunshots to ward off looters. “It was pretty harrowing,” says the self-described, peaceful “hippie chick.”

Clarkson was so traumatized by last year’s California wildfires that she packed up and relocated to Maine. Some of her friends and fellow farmers remained.

Redding is currently being devastated by the Carr Fire. Many residents blame the fires on climate change, which has prolonged the fire season.

“Whenever you’re near a California wildfire, you run the risk of losing power for multiple days. We’ve had our plants in the dark for several days, which caused our plants to have major stress-created pollination and minor mold issues,” said Ray Schiavone, CEO, and Co-founder of Tahoe Hydroponics.

Tahoe Hydroponics are collaborating with their friends over at Alien Labs to raise money for families who are negatively affected by the Carr fire.

“Nothing is more heartbreaking than hearing about people losing their lives, especially the children in the Carr Fire. We send condolences to everyone who has been negatively affected,” says Schiavone.

At press time, they have raised almost $8,000 so far, via a GoFundMe account.

IDRIS ELBA RESPONDS TO JAMES BOND CASTING RUMORS WITH CRYPTIC TWEETS

 

On Sunday, the star posted a series of cryptic tweets in which he poked fun at the idea. The first was a heavily filtered selfie of the top half of his head with the caption, “my name is Elba, Idris Elba.”

Hours later, the star got even more vaguer firs sharing an image of the rap group Public Enemy followed quickly by one of their lyrics, “Don’t Believe The HYPE…”

https://twitter.com/idriselba/status/1028552314183999488

As previously reported, director Antoine Fuqua discussed the possibility during a conversation with producer Barbara Broccoli who said “it is time” for a “non-white actor” to play the iconic character. Fuqua allegedly said the move “will happen eventually” and Elba is reportedly the first choice to take on the role.

MEGHAN MARKLE’S DAD CLAIMS HE HUNG UP ON PRINCE HARRY DURING CALL ABOUT STAGED PAPARAZZI PHOTO

 

In a new interview with The Mail on Sunday, published on Saturday, the Duchess of Sussex’s 74-year-old father claims that he lied and “hung up” on Meghan’s now-husband after a phone call about his photo scandal.

“Harry told me that I should never go to the press. That it would end in tears. He said, ‘They will eat you alive,’” Thomas says, admitting, “He was right.”

Harry reportedly called Thomas to ask if the reports of him staging photos were true, to which Thomas claims that he lied to the Prince, telling him that he “was being measured for a hoodie.”

After the news broke, Thomas says that the couple called him again while he was recovering from a heart attack and that Harry reportedly told him, “If you had listened to me this would never have happened.”

Thomas then claims he replied, “Maybe it would be better for you guys if I was dead… then you could pretend to be sad,” and hung up on Harry.

“I’m not mad at Harry. I’m not mad at Meghan. I love them. I wish them well,” he said. “But as for the rest of it, f**k it. I’m done.

Facts Before Indulging In A Marijuana Edibles

There is a significant uptick in “unexpected highs” among inexperienced marijuana consumers, especially when it comes to marijuana edibles.

As more and more cannabis-infused foods enter the legal marijuana market, a new study suggests there is a significant uptick in “unexpected highs” among inexperienced marijuana consumers. So here are some facts before indulging in a marijuana edible.

The study from RTI International and published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence, finds that some novice marijuana consumers are unable to figure out a satisfactory dose and wind up having a negative experience.

“Marijuana users who reported using new marijuana products or edibles were at greater risk of experiencing an unexpected high, regardless of their age, gender, education, mental health status, or amount of marijuana consumed in the past month,” said Jane Allen, author of the study.

“States that have legalized marijuana for recreational use are thinking about how they can prevent negative public health outcomes,” Allen said. “One way we can help them do that is to study consumer perceptions of marijuana, including product packaging, required warning labels, and consumption advice so states can refine how they communicate marijuana information to the public. Effective communication should help to reduce unexpected highs.”

According to the study, most research subjects merely slept off the uncomfortable sensation. The research highlights an important point as more Americans are exposed the edible cannabis: Eating weed has a totally different effect than smoking it.

Here are some handy tips for the novice:

Do Your Homework

A smart newcomer to cannabis should take the time to study up on edibles. Most states require dosing guidelines limiting one dose to 10 milligrams of THC. There is a reason behind the regulation. For many experienced consumers of edibles, 10 milligrams may not be much at all.

But for the beginner, 5 milligrams may be just what the doctor ordered. If you are buying from a reputable retailer, the edible will be properly packaged with labeling information. Read the label. Know what the dose is.

Eat Before You Eat

On an empty stomach, edibles will pack a more powerful punch. Make sure you have something nutritious in your system before eating a medicated brownies or any other edible. You know when you have a prescription that recommends that you take the medicine “with your meal”? Think of edible cannabis the same way.

Get Comfortable

Find a relaxing location that has a comfortable place to sit. And be prepared to stay in the same place for a while. When medicating with edibles, time is your friend. First of all, it will take 45-60 minutes for the edible to kick in. And once you start feeling the intoxicating effect, plan on the experience to last a few hours.

Start Small

This goes back to Rule 1 and the Homework Clause. There is no need to take a full dose right off the bat. If you are new to the experience, it’s best to gradually introduce THC into your system. Begin with half a dose. Microdosing cannabis the first few times is a great way to figure out your optimum dosage. Just a two or three small bites from an edible may be all you need to start feeling the effects.

Don’t Mix With Booze

Combining alcohol with edible cannabis is not recommended. Sipping a beer while toking on a joint is one thing, but introducing booze to an edible session is a no-no. For most beginners, the result is an uncomfortable spinning sensation. Drink water or fruit juice instead.

Listen To Your Body And Remain Calm

Even if you do everything correctly, you still may feel jittery or anxious. Remember: This is not uncommon and it is not something to get concerned about. If you are feeling out of sorts, try to relax and remain calm. Drink some water, sit down, close your eyes and take a few breaths. Remind yourself that nobody had died from a marijuana overdose. If you are uncomfortable, know that the experience will be over soon.

Medical Impact Cannabis Has On Eyes And Vision

Medical Impact Cannabis Has On Eyes And Vision

Although cannabis cannot cure eye diseases, it can help provide significant relief and improve one’s quality of life.

At an early age, most of us are taught that we have five senses, and vision is one of those. However, as of recently, some scientists believe that humans have anywhere from 14-20 senses. Overall, though, each of our senses are our main contact to the environment we live in. The most essential sense is our vision, especially because we perceive up to 80 percent of all impressions and occurrences through sight. What is the medical impact cannabis has on eyes and vision?

Although our vision helps us in more ways than we might realize, there are several eye issues that can occur at any time like glaucoma, neurodegenerative blindness, and diabetic retinopathy. Despite how serious these eye diseases are, alternative forms of medicine, like cannabis, can help.

Eye Diseases that Cannabis Can Help Treat

Cannabis is a powerful plant that can help treat various medical conditions including different eye diseases. Some of these diseases include glaucoma, neurodegenerative blindness, and diabetic retinopathy. Below is a breakdown of how cannabis can help treat these three eye diseases.

Glaucoma

For those who don’t know, glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve. Unfortunately, glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness on a worldwide scale.  As far back as the 1970s, researchers have been examining the impact cannabis has on glaucoma. One experiment found that among sixteen human subjects, when cannabis was inhaled, intraocular pressure was reduced (IOP). This is significant because intraocular pressure contributes to both degeneration and pain associated with glaucoma.

After cannabis usage, several of the subjects experienced relief for three-four hours post-consumption. Also, subjects who had glaucoma and high blood pressure experienced the longest lasting and most significant outcome. Then, research that was conducted in 1980 and 2000 confirmed these findings.

Neurodegenerative Blindness

In addition, regarding neurodegenerative blindness, research findings from 2014 proposed that cannabis-based medicine could slow down degenerative blindness. The research that was conducted in 2014 focused on rats as test subjects, and they were administered a synthetic cannabinoid over a three-month-time span. Once the cannabinoid administration ended, it was found that the treated rats had 40 percent more photoreceptors than the non-treated subjects. This indicates that cannabis-like therapies and cannabis-based medicine could slow down the speed of ocular degeneration in neurodegenerative blindness.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Cannabis can help treat diabetic retinopathy, but this disease is different than other eye diseases. Diabetic retinopathy is a side effect of diabetes, which causes damage to the retina’s blood vessels. The retina is the light-sensitive part of our eyes, and in cases of diabetic retinopathy, the eyes’ nerve cells start dying, which significantly impacts the individuals’ eyesight.

Fortunately, though, a 2006 preclinical study discovered that Cannabidiol (CBD) could help protect diabetics’ eyes. Since CBD is a strong antioxidant, it’s believed that this cannabinoid can reduce some of the retina’s toxicity, which usually contributes to degeneration. Also, additional studies discovered that cannabis including Cannabidiol contains effective neuroprotective antioxidants, which could help treat different age-related conditions besides just bad vision.

The Role Our Endocannabinoid System (ECS) Plays in Eye Health

Moreover, it has been found that cannabis can affect every organ in the body, which includes the eyes. In general, preclinical investigations indicate that the ECS plays an essential role in our vision. Cannabis counterparts like cannabinoids can effectively tap into the body’s ECS, which is sometimes referred to as a cellular communication network. Then, different cannabinoids interact with the ECS through the engagement of a cannabinoid receptor. Thus far, it has been discovered that the eyes express high levels of the cannabinoid receptor known as CB1.

Additionally, the brain’s vision processing centers include an abundance of these receptor sites. Cannabinoid receptors are more powerful than one may think though, especially because researchers found that cannabinoid receptors can moderate the eye’s response to light. This finding was pulled from a 2016 primate study, which found that the manipulation of cannabinoid receptors alters the way electroretinographic waves pass through the eye’s retina.

However, the exact ways that cannabis impacts our eyesight requires additional investigation and examination. Regardless, the research findings that have been released thus far offer a significant reason to investigate cannabis and its cannabinoids for the treatment of different eye diseases.

Other Ways Cannabis Can Impact Our Vision

On another note, after consuming cannabis, the following can occur: red eyes, allergies, enhanced night vision, and visual processing. So far, it has been found that cannabis can lower one’s blood pressure. As a result, the eye’s capillaries and blood vessels dilate, which leads to red eyes. The wider the capillaries, the more blood flows into the eyes, which reduces intraocular pressure. Individuals with glaucoma and other painful ocular conditions could benefit from this though, especially because the eyes relax after cannabis usage.

Other experiences that can occur after consuming cannabis is an allergic eye reaction. This could be due to several factors including a triggered allergy to smoke, residual molds, or perhaps the cannabis strain itself. A few signs of allergies includes redness, inflammation, itchiness, tearing, and dryness.

Regarding night vision, according to laboratory research, cannabinoid receptors were found to help the eyes respond to light. The engagement of cannabinoid receptors is believed to enhance the eyes’ ability to see in low-light conditions. In the last three decades, various researchers reasoned that cannabis could improve night vision. Then, after a 2004 small scale-study was performed, a dose-dependent relationship between cannabis usage and improved night vision was found.

Related Story: Did You Know That Marijuana Can Give You Night Vision?

Lastly, cannabis has an impact on visual processing, especially due to recent evidence that proposes that the ECS adds to visual development within our brain. Specifically, one 2015 study discovered that babies who were subjected to cannabis in utero tested much higher in visual processing exams. Also, babies who were exposed to cannabis were found to possess improved global motion perception. This finding isn’t meant to promote cannabis usage during pregnancy. But rather, this finding goes to show that cannabinoids and the body’s ECS can help our eyes and brain make better sense of visual information.

Overall, aside from cannabis’s ability to help treat different eye diseases, this powerful plant can also improve our night vision and visual processing. Although cannabis cannot cure eye diseases, it can help provide significant relief and improve one’s quality of life. Rather than taking your eyes for granted, appreciate the vision you have, and remember that cannabis is there to help in a natural and effective way.

Marijuana, also known as cannabis, has seen a significant shift in its legal status in recent years. All of Canada and parts of  the United States has seen growing legalizing both medical and recreational use.

This change in legislation has led to the emergence of marijuana dispensaries, where individuals can legally purchase cannabis products. Here is an overview of what marijuana dispensaries are and how many exist in the US and Canada.

What are Marijuana Dispensaries?

Marijuana dispensaries are establishments that are authorized to sell cannabis products to consumers. These dispensaries can vary in their offerings, ranging from medical marijuana dispensaries that cater to patients with specific medical conditions to recreational dispensaries that serve individuals looking to use cannabis for non-medical purposes. 

These establishments provide a regulated and legal means for individuals to access cannabis products.  The number of legal dispensaries in the US is constantly changing.
