The human body contains a specialized system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), discovered in 1992, which is involved in regulating a variety of functions including sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response. We actually manufacture two cannabinoids, CB1 and CB2 in our body.
1. Relieve Pain: Hemp has been used to treat pain as far back as 2900 B.C.
2. Reduce Anxiety and Depression: Anxiety and depression are common mental health disorders that can have devastating impacts on health and well-being.According to the World Health Organization, depression is the single largest contributor to disability worldwide, while anxiety disorders are ranked sixth.
3. Alleviate Cancer-Related Symptoms: CBD may also help reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, which are among the most common chemotherapy-related side effects for those with cancer.
4. May Have Neuroprotective Properties: Researchers believe that CBD’s ability to act on the endocannabinoid system and other brain signaling systems may provide benefits for those with neurological disorders. In fact, one of the most studied uses for CBD is in treating neurological disorders like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. Though research in this area is still relatively new, several studies have shown promising results. Several studies have shown that treatment with CBD improved quality of life and sleep quality for people with Parkinson’s disease.
5. May Benefit Heart Health: Recent research has linked CBD with several benefits for the heart and circulatory system, including the ability to lower high blood pressure. High blood pressure is linked to higher risks of a number of health conditions, including stroke, heart attack and metabolic syndrome. Studies indicate that CBD may be able to help with high blood pressure.
6. May Reduce Acne: Based on recent scientific studies, CBD oil may help treat acne due to its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to reduce sebum production.
7. Ongoing research on other potential benefits CBD has been studied for its role in treating a number of health issues other than those outlined above. Though more studies are needed, CBD is thought to provide the following health benefits:
Antipsychotic effects: Studies suggest that CBD may help people with schizophrenia and other mental disorders by reducing psychotic symptoms (36Trusted Source). Substance abuse treatment: CBD has been shown to modify circuits in the brain related to drug addiction. In rats, CBD has been shown to reduce morphine dependence and heroin-seeking behavior (37Trusted Source). Anti-tumor effects: In test-tube and animal studies, CBD has demonstrated anti-tumor effects. In animals, it has been shown to prevent the spread of breast, prostate, brain, colon and lung cancer (38Trusted Source). Diabetes prevention: In diabetic mice, treatment with CBD reduced the incidence of diabetes by 56% and significantly reduced inflammation (39Trusted Source). ... See MoreSee Less
The US Dept of Agriculture under Sonny Perdue has proposed that it take over the regulation of GM animals from the Food and Drug Administration. He said this would provide GMO "developers with a one-stop-shop for their products at USDA".
But now the former secretary Tom Vilsack, fresh off the revolving door, is a kind of all-in-one package of what frustrated so many people before. His previous tenure leading the department was littered with failures, ranging from distorting data about Black farmers and discrimination to bowing to corporate conglomerates.It’s unlikely that Joe Biden expected that, of all his cabinet nominees, his choice for US agriculture secretary would cause the most blowback. Yet that is exactly what happened.
Vilsack’s nomination has been roundly rejected by organizations representing Black people, progressive rural organizations, family farmers and environmentalists. If the Biden team was looking for ways to unite the multi-racial working class, they have done so – in full-throated opposition to this pick.
We remember when Vilsack toured agricultural communities, hearing devastating testimony of big ag’s criminal treatment of contract farmers. He went through the motions of expressing concern, but nothing came of it: the Department of Justice and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) kowtowed to agribusiness lobbyists and corporate interests, squandering a golden opportunity to rein in meat processing monopolies. ...

"In Singapore, for example, nights have become so bright that people's eyes now struggle to adapt to real darkness," the article reports.
When the Earth shook the Los Angeles region on the night of January 17, 1994, many houses, bridges and power lines were toppled. At that moment, the brightly illuminated metropolis was plunged into darkness.
People torn from their beds emerged to the reality of having been hit by an earthquake. They also, according to local observatories and police stations who reportedly received phone calls to this effect at the time, emerged to alleged sightings of a "giant silvery cloud" in the sky. What they were seeing was actually the Milky Way and stars which until then, had remained obscured behind the dazzling city lights. ... See MoreSee Less
