How Marijuana Effects Dreams

They are good for your mental health and most occasionally remember them, here is how marijuana effects dreams.  

Dreaming is a universal human experience involving a state of consciousness during sleep characterized by sensory, cognitive and emotional occurrences. Dreams are stories the brain creates during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Time spent in dream sleep is healthy. REM-sleep dreaming appears to take the painful sting out of difficult, even traumatic, emotional episodes experienced during the day, offering emotional resolution when you awake the next morning. Nearly 11% of people remember their dreams every night. Only 6% of people report never remembering their dreams. About 29% of people report remembering dreaming a few times a week. Not all is happy though, 80–90% of adults have had a nightmare at some point in their lives. Considering how cannabis helps with sleep, here is how marijuana effects dreams.
Marijuana has a complex relationship with sleep and dreaming, affecting various aspects of our nightly rest. Understanding these effects is crucial for both recreational users and those considering cannabis for medical purposes.

Cannabis, particularly strains high in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), can significantly alter sleep architecture. THC is known to decrease the duration of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage where most vivid dreaming occurs. This reduction in REM sleep often leads to fewer and less memorable dreams for regular cannabis users.Conversely, marijuana tends to increase the time spent in deep, slow-wave sleep. While this might sound beneficial, it’s important to note that a balance between all sleep stages is crucial for optimal rest and cognitive function.
One of the most intriguing phenomena related to marijuana and dreaming is the “REM rebound” effect. When heavy cannabis users stop consuming, they often experience a surge in REM sleep, leading to more vivid and intense dreams. This effect is typically temporary, lasting for a few weeks as the brain adjusts to the absence of THC.
While THC is primarily responsible for suppressing REM sleep, CBD (cannabidiol), another major component of marijuana, may have different effects. Some research suggests that CBD might actually increase dream vividness. This highlights the complexity of cannabis’s impact on sleep and dreams, as different strains and consumption methods can yield varying results.
The dream-suppressing effects of marijuana have sparked interest in its potential therapeutic use for certain sleep disorders. For instance, it may help manage nightmares associated with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).
It’s crucial to note altering  the natural sleep cycles can have long-term consequences on cognitive function and emotional regulation. While marijuana can significantly impact dreaming by suppressing REM sleep, its effects are not uniform and can vary based on usage patterns, individual physiology, and the specific cannabis strains used. As research in this area continues to evolve, it’s essential for users to be aware of these potential effects and consult healthcare professionals when considering cannabis for sleep-related issues.

Positive Medical News About Marijuana And Moms

Federally funded medical research reveals marijuana not tied to autism.

Drinking, smoking and consuming marijuana while pregnant is never recommended. Over the course of history, woman have consumed liquor, especially during the period when clean water was hard to find, but child mortality was high. With advances in medicine, it has been discovered some activities, like drinking and smoking cigarettes, can cause harm to the baby. No one is saying expectant women should have booze, buds, or cigarettes. But early on, when a woman doesn’t know she is expecting, she might have engaged in these habits

RELATED: Science Says Medical Marijuana Improves Quality Of Life

One of the concerns circling around cannabis is how it can affect a baby’s development.  While more research needs to be done, two new studies have been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) which provides some good news. The first study  focused on discovering if maternal cannabis use during early pregnancy associated with risk of child autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

This  study included 178 948 mother-child combinations. The children were born between 2011 and 2019 to pregnant Kaiser Permanente Northern California members screened for prenatal cannabis use during pregnancy. Statistical analysis was conducted February 2023 to March 2024. The findings suggest maternal cannabis use during early pregnancy was not associated with child ASD, but additional research should be conducted to replicate the findings.

Another study released this week found maternal cannabis use during early pregnancy was not associated with speech and language disorders, global delay, or motor delay. The investigation into marijuana and childhood development and included 119 976 pregnancies among 106 240 unique pregnant individuals.

A reason for the study is with legal marijuana increased, this is increased discussion around it being a cause of developmental development among babies. But  documented associations between maternal prenatal cannabis use and adverse birth outcomes, including preterm birth and low birthweight have not be in a study. There has been little research assessing the association of maternal prenatal cannabis use and childhood developmental outcomes, this study was done to provide a scientific fact around the information.

More research needs to be done, and like alcohol and cigarettes which are harmful for the body, not one is saying it is good to use why expecting, but it is good to have information grounded in facts.

Can CBD Reduce Age Telling Wrinkles

Wrinkles are part of growing older – but what if you could delay them, especially with your hands?

Botox, chemical peels, fillers and photo rejuvenation are all expensive and major ways to stop the signs of aging – wrinkles. For centuries, women, and men, have tried to turn back the clock by eliminating, or at least reducing the tell tale signs on the face.  Hands are notoriously known for gaining wrinkles early and leaking the secrets of a person’s age. But what if you can slow roll the wrinkles? Can CBD reduce age telling wrinkles. While many over promise what CBD can do, it might be able to help with this problem.

CBD comes from the cannabis plant, but doesn’t get you high from THC. A study evaluating a novel retinol and CBD topical product found significant improvements in various skin quality domains, including visible pores, dehydration, surface roughness, and both static and dynamic wrinkles. Participants reported high satisfaction and willingness to recommend the product, with excellent tolerability

A Close-Up Shot of a Person's Eye

One of the key ways CBD may combat wrinkles is through its potent anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a major contributor to skin aging, leading to the breakdown of collagen and elastin. By inhibiting inflammatory cytokines, CBD can help calm irritated skin and prevent the acceleration of wrinkle formation. This anti-inflammatory action may also soothe skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, which can exacerbate the signs of aging

CBD is rich in antioxidants, which play a crucial role in protecting the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Free radicals, generated by factors like UV radiation and pollution, damage cellular structures and lead to premature aging. By neutralizing these harmful molecules, CBD helps preserve skin cell integrity and promotes a more youthful appearance.
As we age, collagen production naturally declines, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkles. Research suggests that CBD may help stimulate collagen production, promoting firmer and more resilient skin. This effect is partly due to CBD’s ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which can impair collagen synthesis.
Proper hydration is essential for maintaining youthful skin. CBD has hydrating and moisturizing properties that can help combat the effects of aging on skin moisture retention. By maintaining the skin’s natural barrier function, CBD prevents moisture loss and keeps the skin plump and hydrated, reducing the appearance of fine lines

So, yes, done right, CBD can help with wrinkles, even the pesky hand ones. But while the research on CBD’s anti-aging effects is promising, experts emphasize the need for more extensive studies to fully understand its long-term benefits and potential side effects. As with any skincare product, it’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist before incorporating CBD into your anti-aging routine, especially if you have specific skin concerns or conditions.

Musk Supports DeSantis Blocking Marijuana Legalization

The battle for legal marijuana continues and it is pitting the leaders of the GOP against each other…and another player has jumped into the fray

Florida is a battleground state for this election in more than one way.  While the majority of Floridians are pro some form of cannabis legalization, the governor is not and has waged an all out battle with the industry. Now, Elon Musk supports DeSantis blocking marijuana legalization. How is will all end up is anyone’s guess.
In 2013, the group United for Care turned in 745,613 of the required 683,149 signatures, to do a ballot initiative for medical marijuana. The state contensted, but the Florida Supreme court allowed it to move forward. It failed with 57.6% of the vote, short the 60% supermajority required for constitutional amendments in Florida.  Nevada casino owner Sheldon Adelson rode to he rescue with $5.5 million to help fund the opposition campaign.
In 2016, a second attempt was made and the initiative was approved on November 8, 2016, with 71.3% of the vote.
Now a new initiative is on the ballot and has pitted Governor Desanits and Elon Musk against the GOP Presidential nominee. DeSantis has had a testy relationship with the GOP leader since the governor’s failed presidential run. But the nominee seems to have a working partnership with Musk and has suggested creating a new role for Musk of Secretary of Cost Cutting.

DeSantis has struggled in his fight against the popular plant. He is under fire from leaders in his own state for using state resource to fight against legalization. Also, the group DeSantis has  approved to raise funds to stop cannabis has raised less than $20 million. The pro group has raised over $100 million. But now Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), is riding to DeSantis’s rescue.
Faithful & Strong Policies, Inc., made the $500,000 contribution to Keep Florida Clean, Inc. earlier this month, campaign filings show. Keep Florida Clean. Musk has given the organization $10 million. Musk was also a supporter of the Governor’s campaign.
Polls show the initiative stands a strong chance of hitting the 60% to pass. Being a presidential year with other big issues on the ballot is a help to cannabis, but with fresh cash nd Twitter fighting it, only time with tell how it goes. And it will be interesting to see what happens with the three mega personalities of the Republican Party.

Will Porn Decide The Next Election

This is turning into one of the most weird elections. Now will porn sway the election?

The presidential election has been filled with memes, hurricanes, hashtags, misinformation and more. Record voter turnout has already been seen in Georgia and anxiety is up in both parties. But will porn decide the next election? You have the right, the left, moderates, evangelicals, union members, and celebrities weighing in and trying to sway the vote.  But two groups are getting involved via porn and it could actually make a difference.

As of August 2024, Pornhub is the 16th-most-visited website in the world and the most-visited adult website. Which makes it bigger than Amazon, Pinterest, and Walmart. Additionally there are 4 adult sites in the top 50. Which makes it a powerful voice in a moment when people could be open to information about their activity.  Advertising on an adult site is inexpensive and has a huge reach. Plus, the performers have a huge reach…especially with the hard to reach demographic of men 25-44.  So why wouldn’t it become a key focus.

FTW PAC, is a political action committee co-founded by friends Wally Nowinski and Matt Curry. Their plan to reach the hard to grab young men demographic to engage them when they consume online adult entertainment. It mixes up the ad content and their moment’s interest.

They are running ads which starts with a woman enjoying herself on a bed before Donald Trump appears over her, or else a warning that “Trump’s Project 2025 will ban this video.” The ads conclude by telling the viewer, “Enjoy while you can.”  Powerful stuff when men are in a needy moment.

When Louisiana banned porn, which was support by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), demand for VPNs surged by 210%. When Pornhub blocked access to Texas, searches for VPNs by Texas users increased more than fourfold.

Project 2025’s Take On Marijuana

Should the GOP Presidential candidate win the election, the Heritage Foundation will have influence on policy….what’s their stance on cannabis.

The marijuana industry potential survival hinges on the next election. Federal restrictions have hammed mom and pop business and the lack of tax benefits, which benefit other small business, has been brutal. Biden’s slow actions toward is promises have allowed the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to delay their ruling on rescheduling until December, after the election. This gives the DEA some wiggle room on their decision. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is taking Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) role in trying to stop the cannabis industry. He has made it clear to the DEA they should reject any help to cannabis.  So, if the GOP candidate wins, what does it mean for cannabis?  The Heritage Foundation has produced a plan for the future administration embraced by senior leaders, including VP candidate J.D. Vance who wrote an opening statement. So what their Project 2025’s take on marijuana?

RELATED: Vaping Could Have This Effect On Men

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank founded in 1973, has consistently taken a strong stance against the legalization of marijuana. Their position is rooted in concerns about public health, safety, and social consequences. The Heritage Foundation has not stayed current in cannabis research or public opinion, but the plan lays out a clear roadmap of a complete change of government.

The Heritage Foundation And Marijuana

The American Medical Association, AARP, and the American College of Physicians are some of the organizations who believe marijuana has a legal role at the table since it provides medical benefits.  Roughly 90% of the general public believes it should be legal in some form. The Veteran’s Administration has altered policy to support veterans with PTSD. The Heritage Foundation argues marijuana is an addictive substance with significant negative impacts on physical and mental health

While science and data among legal states have disproved the myths including about it being a gateway drug for the young, the Heritage Foundation clings to old tropes. They stand by the argument consumes leads to the consumption of harder, more dangerous substances. This perspective forms a crucial part of their opposition to legalization efforts.

They argue that legalization could lead to increased crime rates. Legal states have disproven this based on data and crime rates. An additional benefit has been the decrease in alcohol as people are relaxing with gummies.

The Heritage Foundation advocates for a comprehensive drug policy with strengthened law enforcement, treatment, and prevention and education.  This align’s with House Speaker Mike Johnson’s stance.

The Heritage Foundation’s stance on marijuana legalization falls in with their broader conservative principles, emphasizing personal responsibility with a dash of government oversight. Their arguments continue to influence the ongoing debate surrounding marijuana policy in the United States.

Kamala Harris’s Evolving Take On Legalizing Cannabis

Presidential candidates relationship with the marijuana industry has involved – now she wants to deliver the winning goal.

The cannabis industry has been nervously waiting for some federal action to let the industry move to the next level. While consumer use is growing and taking a bite out of the alcohol industry, federal resections have put a significant hold on the profitability and growth of cannabis. President’s Biden made a promise to support the industry in 2020, but waited until 2023 to make a move with no noticeable action taking place until 2025. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is making an announcement on rescheduling in the first part of December, after the election. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has leaned in the DEA not to reschedule and made it clear he firmly opposes cannabis. This would go against all precedents as both the Food and Drug Administration and Health and Human Service has said it should be done.

RELATED: Vaping Could Have This Effect On Men

There will be a new president and a new set of rules in December, and the DEA will be watching the political winds. So what is Kamala’s Harris Take on legalizing cannabis? With almost 90% of the country believing it should be legalized in some forms and groups like the American Medical Association, AARP, and the American College of Physicians supporting it, it is not a hot pototo, except for a few in power.

The latest take is Harris proposed legalizing marijuana nationally for recreational use and ensuring Black entrepreneurs have access to the growing cannabis industry. She made the announcement while in California. She has become the first sitting vice president to encourage legalizing it and has become a public champion. This is more open and aggressive than the current Biden administration’s approach. During a wide-ranging conversation on the podcast “All the Smoke” with former NBA stars Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, Harris expressed her belief that marijuana should be legalized.

Harris stated, “I believe we have reached a moment where it is crucial to recognize that we need to legalize it and cease the criminalization of this activity.” She emphasized her conviction that individuals “should not face incarceration for using marijuana”

RELATED: DeSantis Uses Hurricane To Damage Marijuana Initiative

Harris has been critical of the current federal classification of marijuana. During a White House roundtable, she pointed out the absurdity of cannabis being considered as dangerous as heroin and more dangerous than fentanyl under current law. During her 2020 presidential campaign, she expressed support for marijuana legalization and admitted to having used it herself in the past. This shift from her earlier career as a prosecutor demonstrates a changing perspective on cannabis policy.

The $23+ billion industry is full of mom and pop businesses. Democrats have been traditionally been more of ally to the industry. Republican blocked SAFE Banking for 7 times and then the GOP Speaker coup ended any chance for movement last year. Some marijuana industry leaders don’t have faith in Biden or Harris, but the congressional GOP has not be the support to cannabis and the other party.

Christopher Columbus And Cannabis

He is honored for helping open the new world…and a certain plant had helped a quite a bit.

There are so many myths and stories around Columbus. Did he discover North America (spoiler -looked like the Vikings beat him to the continent)? He wasn’t about gold and glory, he was about bringing religion to the world in honor of Catholic Spain. The other big myth is he was Italian, but now it is believed he was Spanish and Jewish, and hid it to avoid being prosecuted. But what about Christopher Columbus and cannabis.

RELATED: Science Says Medical Marijuana Improves Quality Of Life

Cannabis played a significant role in 16th century society, particularly in England and Europe. It was considered the “golden age of hemp”, especially under the reign of King Henry VIII. In 1533, the king introduced a hemp cultivation law requiring landowners to dedicate 1/4 acre for every 60 acres to growing hemp, or face fines. European herbals and pharmacopoeias of the time listed various medical applications for cannabis. The number of reported medicinal uses for cannabis doubled during this period as travelers brought back information from the East. And, it helped make Columbus’s journey possible.

Hemp fiber was in high demand for producing durable sails, ropes, and nets for the expanding English navy…and the Spanish noticed. The sails and ropes of his three ships the La Santa Clara (Niña), La Pinta, and La Santa Gallega (Santa Maria), were made of hemp. The cracks between the planks were filled with hemp to make the ships watertight. No other natural fibre can withstand the forces of the open ocean and the stresses of salt water.

The hold of the Santa Maria, his flagship, was filled with hemp seeds. The ship had a supply of food provisions including salted meats, dried fish, hardtack biscuits, beans, lentils, and cheese, meant to last the duration of the voyage.  And hemp served as a protein-rich source nutritious snack for the crew, aldditionally the hemp seeds could be planted in any newly discovered regions.

The ships’ lamps were fuelled using hemp oil and these lamps lighting the way and most clothes had hemp fiber. But it is doubtful they used the cannabis hemp for fun. The ships were roughly 60 feet long and 20 feet wide. And they had carried around 88 men. So their was a ton of focus in the open ocean…and very little privacy.

Hemp’s contribution is displayed in Barcelona at the base of the statue honoring the explore. It has cannabis leaves.  So this Columbus Day, now the humble cannabis plant helped out quite a bit.
