Smoking cannabis is less dangerous than consuming alcohol or smoking tobacco whether you’re pregnant or not. However, anytime you burn or combust a plant, be it tobacco or cannabis, you’re creating toxic combustion byproducts. #DeliveryMethodsMatter #CannabisIsMedicine

CBD comes from hemp & cannabis. These plants are bioaccumulators, drawing toxins out of air, water & soil. That’s why the safest & highest quality products are organic & third-party tested. Get your organic, hemp-derived CBD here: bit.ly/DrFeleciaOrg... #CBD #Acne #Psoriasis #AtopicDermatitis

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in America. It is the number one cause of maternal mortality in Georgia. Sadly, we now have to add stalking to the long list of things causing heart disease in this country. bit.ly/WhyWeDIEHowT... #HeartDisease #MaternalMortality #DomesticViolence

“Cannabis and psychedelics were highest-rated for improving ED (eating disorders) symptoms. Prescription antidepressants were rated highly for overall mental health but not for ED symptoms…alcohol, nicotine, and tobacco were rated as the most harmful drugs.” #EatingDisorders #Cannabis #Psychedelics

“If our leaders are serious about building safer communities and supporting people struggling with drugs, they must invest in what works: stable housing, overdose prevention, and accessible treatment,” Maritza Perez Medina, director of federal affairs, Drug Policy Alliance (DPA)… #RiskReduction

Trying to mislead the public and continuing to pretend that cannabis is not medicine when the Department of Health and Human Services applied for a patent in 1999 and received said patent US6630507 in 2003 for “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants”…is just rehashed, reefer madness 2025.

The presence of cannabis does not equal impairment. “The finding of detectable and/or quantifiable THC before cannabis use,” authors wrote, “shows how challenging it is to interpret a single THC concentration measurement in breath with no prior information about THC at baseline.” #DUI #PublicSafety

Despite increasing cannabis legalization, use by young people is not. When you hear about young people being adversely affected by cannabis/CBD products in the news, they most likely came from the unregulated market. #MentalHealth #CannabisIsMedicine #Addiction #SemiSyntheticCannabinoids #Delta8

Driving under the influence when impaired/intoxicated is a lot different than a patient using medical cannabis or pharmaceuticals to manage their anxiety or depression. There is currently no accurate roadside test that definitively distinguishes between impairment & the presence of cannabis.

Now her citizens‘descendants are fighting against drug smuggling into this country… ‘As historian and author Tony McMahon summarized it in Smithsonian magazine: “Queen Victoria, I think by any standard, she loved her drugs.”

Now, that’s how you celebrate Juneteenth! You go Governor Moore!💜💜💜 #Juneteenth #WarOnDrugs #CannabisIsMedicine #PrisonIndustrialComplex

It makes sense. Nixon and Congress made cannabis illegal AGAIN in response to the 1970 Supreme Court decision that overturned the Marijuana Tax of 1937. The High Court stated that the legislation, which effectively outlawed cannabis, was unconstitutional. Congress did it. They can undo it.

So mad.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the cannabis industry (and all businesses) could learn how to serve and earn versus just focusing on profit? We are diminishing this magnificent plant inherited from our ancestors. #PeopleOverProfits #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CannabisIsMedicine #MedicalCannabis

One of several myths debunked in this article… CLAIM: Marijuana is a gateway drug. REALITY: The vast majority of people who have used marijuana never try any other drugs. #CannabisIsMedicine #Propaganda #WarOnDrugs #Gateway

I believe this op-ed’s stance could be applied to much of plant medicine. It also reminds us that moving cannabis to Schedule III will do nothing to change the lives of every day people while it remains federally illegal. It only makes it easier for people with deep pockets to profit.

This excellent study lays out a road map for moving forward w/adult use markets. “In this randomized controlled study, a public health-oriented RCL (recreational cannabis laws) did not lead to an increase in cannabis use…” #CannabisIsMedicine #AdultUse #CannabisUseDisorder #PublicHealth

Though the taxes, in general, remain too high, this is an example of the good that could come out of the legal cannabis market. This begins to address the impact of the war on drugs in poor communities and people of color. #Prohibition #WarDrugs #CannabisIsMedicine #MedicalCannabis

I hope it helps sustain their country as they fight off their aggressors… #Hemp #HempIsMedicine #HempIsFood

Prohibition never works when it comes to adults. If you regulate plant medicine reasonably (as in no excessive taxes), problematic use declines. If you ban it, activities simply go underground, where people use in the shadows and are harmed. #WarOnDrugs #Prohibition #CannabisIsMedicine.

What?! We don’t have enough money for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, scientific/medical research, veteran benefits & support. However, we can find the money to fund a war that has been waged for hundreds of years on our planet & can’t be won. #WarOnDrugs #PrisonIndustrialComplex #Prohibition

It’s encouraging to have another mainstream physician group embrace cannabis as medicine… #CannabisIsMedicine #MedicalCannabis #MedicalMarijuana #ChronicPain

“The establishment” and some healthcare providers state that there’s not enough research on cannabis. Yet only 12 of the states where it is legal on some level are funding research. #CannabisIsMedicine #MedicalMarijuana #MedicalCannabis #CannabisResearch #DeScheduleOrBust #Re-Legalize

An excellent article by High at 9 News’ Rachelle Gordon on the continuing War on Drugs and stigma being perpetrated in the media… #CannabisIsMedicine #WarOnDrugs #MedicalMarijuana #HighAt9News

Of course, you are. You want to double down on the War on Drugs and prohibition instead of improving the quality of life of your citizens. #WarDrugs #Prohibition

Cannabis is not performance enhancing. It helps with recovery and pain management. “Evidence indicates that marijuana use among athletes can improve oxygenation of tissues, reduce muscle spasm, and enhance pain management,” the new research paper says. #CannabisIsMedicine #PostExerciseRecovery

“Our findings suggest that decriminalization led to a reduction in violent crime,” the new report says, “likely due to police reallocating resources from marijuana enforcement to violent crime prevention.” #Decriminalization #DescheduleOrBust #WarOnDrugs #CannabisIsMedicine

And the beat goes on… “The Trump administration is touting its cancellation of federal grant funding for a study examining cannabis use risks among LGBTQ+ individuals, non-binary people and heterosexual women.” #CannabisIsMedicine #CannabisResearch #WarOnDrugs #WarOnDiversity

This is not good. #CannabisIsMedicine #WarOnDrugs #DescheduleOrBust

There is a huge medicinal difference between the entire cannabis flower versus a product with varying ratios of CBD and THC. CBD and THC are just two of over 150 cannabinoids in the plant. There are also a multitude of terpenes and flavonoids within the flower, which all have medicinal value.

The war on drugs has failed for 100s of years. Countries all over the globe, throughout time, have tried to prohibit drugs. Prohibition doesn’t work. It just drives products underground. They must be regulated and reasonably taxed. #WarOnDrugs #DEA #Drugs #Prohibition #ReLegalize #DeScheduleOrBust

When will we learn? Don’t take anything, in any shape, form or fashion from the plant cannabis or hemp to this country… not even CBD. Don’t be a pawn in this geopolitical game.♟️ #WarOnDrugs

In light of the times we’re living in reposting this… I give thanks that my siblings and I grew up having dinner with our parents almost every day.

This is how you speak truth to power…from the same book they claim to live by…

“So we smoked pot. That was OK. You know, neither here nor there,” Yellen said. “I didn’t really do it again for the rest of my life—but within six months, I was smoking three packs [of cigarettes] a day.” That habit followed her for 10 years, she said, until one day she quit “cold turkey.”
