US Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra said the agency has recommended that marijuana be changed from a "Schedule I" to a "Schedule III". This would ease restrictions and reduce or eliminate criminal penalties associated with marijuana. It also opens the door potential legalization by states that prohibit it.

What's the difference?
Schedule I drugs – "have NO CURRENTLY ACCEPTED MEDICAL USE in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse."

Schedule III drugs – “have a potential for abuse less than substances in Schedules I or II and abuse may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence.”

“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.

This is an actual 2006 election billboard that encouraged Colorado voters to legalize the "Devil's Parsley", aka cannabis.

Achtung:
Don't drink and hunt... or try to run a government.

Don't operate heavy legislation while under the influence of alcohol.

The little graphic I created below a few years ago, also is not an indication of support or use. According to laws in many places amidst these findings, the jury is still out.😉
