“Cannabis, Alzheimers, TBI and Invisible Disability"
Click here 🧠 to expand.
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.
There is a false confidence, and a true one. False confidence involves pretending to be who you are not, and acting as if you know things you don't know. Real confidence comes from unabashedly being yourself.
In any search for truth, there comes a moment when something is suddenly clear -- the clouds roll away, the sun breaks through, and you see something that was always there, but you are only now aware of it.
Interesting essay on #SocialMedia that may resonate with other #Mastodon users. It left me wondering why I post at all and whether to vacate the #SocialWeb
“Academics Soroush Vosoughi and Deb Roy, both of the MIT Media Lab, along with MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral, recently conducted a study that reached the conclusion that false news spreads faster than the truth. Their research, published in Science, found that #misinformation is ’70 percent more likely to be retweeted on #Twitter than the #truth,’ and that the #FakeNews ‘reached 1,500 people about six times faster than the truth.'”
The National Centre for #Truth and #Reconciliation and the #Aboriginal Peoples Television Network will host a 90-minute multilingual #commemoration event on #Parliament Hill Sept. 30, the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
#Indigenous people on-reserve are not given postal codes from #Canada Post (a crown corporation) which excludes them from obtaining house insurance. That is a colonial policy that robs people of the opportunity they need to insure they have a place to live amid record #wildfires.
#Mastodon is probably the only social media platform at the moment where most of the people are real (no fake profiles and scammers). This is my view at the moment. On FB and Instagram I block everyone who contacts me and whom I don't know. Sorry #American Captains and Doctors and Sergeants who are kind and humble and REAL! 🙃🙃 I don't believe in unicorns. And I don't believe in you. #confession#truth#trustissues#suomimastodon#finland#usa
"In the degrowth literature, a caricature of the typical economist is presented as believing in unlimited economic growth, and that growth should be pursued regardless of its environmental impact. This is a straw man. It would be a naïve economist who did not recognise that constraints exist. And economists usually limit their projections to a few decades to come, rather than to the infinite future, in which they supposedly believe in unlimited exponential economic growth. Certainly, there are theoretical economic growth models which portray the possibility of exponential growth into the infinite future, but economists have had enough common sense not to assume stylised theoretical models are the be-all-and-end-all when it comes to public policy."
Then why, Mr. Tunny, is it so hard to find an economist who can tell us when the economy should stop growing?
And, by the way, there is no such thing as a #NobelPrize in Economics. The phony award was first given out by the Bank of Sweden in 1969, LONG after the 5 #NobelPrizes were established in 1900 as stipulated in the Last Will and Testament of chemist Alfred Nobel.
