5 Cannabis Facts


1. Beer & cannabis are COUSINS! Beers hops          are in the same family of flowering
    plants as cannabis. We are family.
                                 
                                     

2. Cannabis has been legal for personal use in        Alaska since 1975, and it’s still legal
    today. Go moose!




3. California was the first U.S. state to ban              cannabis a century ago. Kind of ironic,
    don’t you think?



4. In 1976, an art student changed the                    Hollywood sign to read “Hollyweed” after
           the passage of a state law                               decriminalizing cannabis. That’s more like it.


5. The first thing ever bought and sold across the Internet was a bag of cannabis

CANNABINOIDS VS OPIOIDS, WHICH IS MORE EFFECTIVE AT TREATING PAIN? Opioid medication is frequently prescribed as a means of treating pain conditions. However, this family of medications is often associated with addiction, withdrawal, and overdose. It seems that cannabis may serve as a much safer and effective alternative. Opioids are a class of drugs that span from legal pharmaceuticals prescribed to combat chronic pain to illegal substances like heroin. Opioids work by binding to opioid receptors in parts of the body such as the brain and spinal cord. When opioids act on these receptor sites, they work to reduce the signalling of pain messages from the body to the brain. In doing so, sensations of pain are reduced and relieved.

Potential side effects of taking opioid medicati

Study Shows Cannabis Reduces Headache and Migraine Pain by Nearly 50% TOPICS: Cannabis Pain Management Was   NOVEMBER 25, 2019 Inhaled cannabis reduces self-reported headache severity by 47.3% and migraine severity by 49.6%, according to a recent study led by Carrie Cuttler, a Washington State University assistant professor of psychology. The study,  published online  on November 9, 2019, in the  Journal of Pain , is the first to use big data from headache and migraine patients using cannabis in real time.
