“[A]ny act of speaking the truth can cause incalculable transformations in social consciousness. And we all have this power. It's a moral act to use this power. You may or may not achieve the results that you wanted, but there is eternal beauty in trying to find truth, in risking everything you've got for what's right, stop calculating your profit and just taking a leap of faith.” – Nadya Tolokonnikova
“Cannabis, Alzheimers, TBI and Invisible Disability"

Cannabis can still be a controversial topic. The medical benefits for those with physical and invisible disabilities are no secret. People with Invisible disabilities, such as brain injury and PTSD, can be afforded great relief from symptoms by the flower.
Israeli Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, is a well known cannabis research pioneer who has been studying the plant for decades. Read about some of his work in the link below.
Other Research indicates that individuals living with Alzheimers and Dementia may also benefit with less risk and damaging effects than other drugs currently used.
Findings from another Israeli Researcher, Dedi Meiri, argue that there may be benefits to these individuals as well.
"There is a large and growing body of anecdotal accounts of the efficacy of cannabis for treating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The shortcomings ... life-threatening dangers...with... frequently prescribed pharmaceutical treatments... makes cannabis a particularly compelling option – especially considering its solid safety profile."
Even more research from the National Library of Medicine (PubMed.gov), speaks about the neuroprotectant antioxidant qualities of the herb. The PubMed link below contains several links to other studies on cannabis and it’s benefits for people with disabilities.
The human body is said to have CBD receptors "built" in. I am neither condoning, nor condemning the use of “Natures Pharmaceutical"; nor am I suggesting it's use. I am merely presenting medical findings.
According to laws in many places amidst these findings, the jury is still out on the subject.
#JoeRogan has A LOT of influence.
Why doesn’t he use his platform to do good, validate #science & #Truth or is bothsidism more profitable? What’s his deal? Lack of empathy? Greed as a guiding principle? Ignorance? What a putz.
Step back! The #MAGAts are doing #science! LMFAO 🤣 Grand juries comprised of #Florida citizens don't determine scientific #truth. That's not their job, and they are utterly lacking in the requisite knowledge, education, and expertise to evaluate scientific claims. And these are the same people who don't believe the NY grand jury is capable of returning an indictment on #Trump. But, I guess this is how dem Florida MAGAts do the science and book learnin'!
For some a stressful week has ended well, #justice having been served at the ground level, even as Sir #TrumpVirus claims vindication (pre retribution) - while attacking the jurors his attorneys chose.
(Wonder if they'll be paid now!)
But the verdict resulted in lots of new contribution$, driving the #DJT stock up.

Shieber’s “Nietzsche Thesis” posits that our true aim in conversation is self-presentation and social standing, not necessarily truth-seeking.
(...)
In other words, we accept or reject statements based on utilitarian goals, not on their truthfulness. In Nietzsche’s words, we will accept and look for truth only when it has “pleasant, life-preserving consequences.” Conversely, we are hostile “to potentially harmful and destructive truths.”
