Uncovering the Origins: The “Hashishins” and Early Cannabis Use in the Middle East

🌿 Cannabis has deep roots in the Middle East, where it was used widely for both medicinal 🌡️ and recreational 🎉 purposes. One of the most intriguing tales involves the "Hashishins" 🗡️, a legendary group of Persian warriors rumored to have used hashish 🍃 before heading out on their missions. Interestingly, the word “assassin” is believed by some to have evolved from “hashishin,” though historians debate this origin. 🕰️🤔

Whether fact or legend, the story of the Hashishins adds a fascinating layer to cannabis’s role in Middle Eastern history 🌍. It’s a reminder of how this plant has woven itself into cultural narratives around the world 🌐.

Researchers examined data collected from a total of almost 729,000 people aged 12 years and older between 2005 and 2017, including any prior-month cannabis use and any depression experienced over the previous year. By the final year of the study, about 19% of people with depression reported at least some cannabis use, compared with 8.7% of individuals without a recent history of depression. In 2005, about 10.2% of people with depression and 5.7% of individuals without depression used the drug. The proportion of people with depression who perceived cannabis use as risky behavior also fell from 41% to 17% during the study period, compared with a decline from 52% to 33% among those without depression, according to the report in the journal Addiction. "This perception of risk is decreasing more rapidly among those with depression," said Renee Goodwin of Columbia University in New York City, the study's senior author. "Those with depression who perceive little or no risk associated with use have a much higher prevalence of cannabis use, relative to those who perceive higher associated risks," Goodwin said by email. Current cannabis use was highest among people 18 to 25 years old with depression, at almost 30%, the study found. Usage was also common among people with depression who were male, black or unmarried, at around 23% for each group. #cannabisuse #medicinalcannabis #hemplife420 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lerhYJV6O/?igshid=kjaq470yp5mr

Neil Young says his US citizenship application is being held up because he uses marijuana Neil Young wants to become a US citizen and vote in the 2020 presidential election. But the Canadian singer-songwriter says his citizenship application is being held up because he uses marijuana. “When I recently applied for American citizenship, I passed the test. It was a conversation where I was asked many questions. I answered them truthfully and passed,” Young said in a statement on his Neil Young Archives website. “Recently however, I have been told that I must do another test, due to my use of marijuana and how some people who smoke it have exhibited a problem.” According to guidance issued by US Citizenship and Immigration Services in April, an applicant who is found to have violated federal law on controlled substances, including marijuana, could be found to lack “good moral character” — one of the general requirements for naturalization. That policy applies regardless of state or local laws on marijuana use. #policy #policies #jeffsessions #uscitizenship #citizenship #neilyoung #cannabisuser #goodmorals #federal #holysmokestv #holysmokes #holysmokescrafts #oneman #solo #cannabis #reform #legalization #safeaccess #news #ismokecannabis #medicalcannabis #thc #cbd #rawlife #losangeles #california #ca #la #knowledgeispower #knowyourroots (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4zvcMdhy3R/?igshid=1fmxie5ebbnpl

Marijuana Breathalyzers Set to Aid Law Enforcement in 2018

A total of 28 states in the US have already legalized the use of cannabis, both for medical and recreational purposes. Some of these territories are major states such as New York and California, with the latter enacting the legalization of recreational use during the 2016 Elections in November.

But with legalization rightfully comes regulation. Recently, a couple of start-up companies are looking to develop marijuana Breathalyzers to aid law enforcement agencies in controlling the said substance to avoid any form of abuse.

Measuring THC

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or more commonly known as THC, is the substance in cannabis that gives off the psychoactive effect to get an individual high. According to this report, two start-up companies, namely Cannabix Technologies and Hound Labs are the ones that would help manufacture the marijuana Breathalyzerto help public officers deal with drivers who are possibly impaired due to cannabis use.

The two companies have begun to develop their own technology to measure small amounts of THC in a person. THC would be measured in the form of picograms or parts per trillion. According to Hound Lab’s Chief Marketing Officer Jenny Lyn, they were able to develop a working prototype that can already be used at the roadside. They were done with the help of the company’s scientists and engineers.

Cannabix Technologies, meanwhile, is looking to exploit the two-hour window wherein THC remains in one’s breath upon consumption. Within the given timeframe, the device would be able to assesshow impaired an individual is. They will be making use of the latest technology powered by a microchip that will help enhance chemical separations and efficient ionization.

At the same time, users themselves would be able to determinetheir THC levels to notify them if they would be fit to go behind the wheel of a vehicle or enter their respective workplaces.

For ‘Easier Conviction’ After Arrests

The idea of developing a marijuana Breathalyzer was first brought up in late 2016, when law enforcement officers were clamoring for it to make their jobs fairly easier. According to a mid-November report, chemists from the University of California-Berkley were already developing some new chemistry to come up with a method of detecting marijuana-impaired drivers.

Just like how it is done with alcohol, these chemists were trying to find a way to easily spot THC on a person’s breath, despite having police officers unaware about how to spot someone driving under the influence of cannabis. In turn, it becomes more complicated for them to determine such a case, and subsequently make the necessary apprehensions.

At the time, Hound Labs had already put out their very first prototype of their very own marijuana Breathalyzer, but has not made it public yet. They did, however, determine a starting price to be less than $1,000 per device. According to company representative Mike Lynn, it already had drawn “tremendous interest”, both from law enforcement officials and users.

An “arms race” to Development

Other than the marijuana Breathalyzer, there has been no proven method to quickly determine the THC levels in a person’s system. Which is why there was said to be a steep competition between companies that have decided to develop such a product.

Morrow adds that those who are developing such products are already beginning to fight tooth and nail to secure respective patents. But for proving which one would be the most effective, Morrow says it has yet to be backed up by scientific research.

In conclusion

The marijuana Breathalzyer is just one of the many developments that have sprouted out from the US-wide legalization of cannabis. Just like how Morrow pointed out, it can be anticipated for more enhancements similar to this one to come out in the succeeding years.

Just like how a good chunk of individuals chose to make a living on dispensaries and developing new cannabis strains, expect the number of people who would get into the regulation business to exponentially grow in the near future.

Can smoking cannabis really improve your sperm count? Repost @nowthisweed The unexpected finding that men with a history of cannabis smoking had higher sperm counts has been widely reported after it was published in a leading fertility journal. Harvard University researchers tested sperm of 600 men who were currently enrolled at fertility clinics and asked them about their previous drug taking, for the study published in the journal Human Reproduction. Around half of men had tried, or currently used, cannabis and the researchers found just 5 per cent had clinically low sperm counts, compared to 12 per cent of those who had never tried it. But does the drug really improve your chances of parenthood? How could it do this? The authors suggest that this could be a result of cannabis on the body's endocannabinoid system which sends chemical messages in the brain and has been associated with regulating fertility. But because of the way the study is designed, measuring patients past habits and current sperm count, they cannot tell what their sperm levels were before they tried the drug - and therefore prove whether it had any effect. 2.What other answers might there be? The study also found the cannabisuser participants had higher testosterone levels, the male sex hormone that plays a key role in behaviour and sperm production. "An equally plausible interpretation is that our findings could reflect the fact that men with higher testosterone levels are more likely to engage in risk-seeking behaviours, including smoking marijuana,” said Dr Feiby Nassan, who was one of the uthors of the study #medicalmarijuana #kief #staylifted #holysmokes #holysmokescrafts #fueledbythc #fueledbycbd #hightimes #rawlife #rawlife247 #cannabis #oneman #breal #massroots #cannabidiol #cbd #thc #mmj #highlife #highsociety #smoke #smokecannabis #weshouldsmoke #sperm #highlife #cannabislaws #420 #420daily #marijuana (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpKijHBqMD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vkbv2lkyfd3
