John Scott-Railton: As we are all wondering where QAnon is headed, let me direct you to an *excellent* twitter thread/syllabus of readings by Prof. @AmarAmarasingam. Highly recommended. 👇👇👇

1/ Was making a QAnon reading list for a journalist friend of mine, and thought the rest of you might find it useful as well – especially this week. Enjoy.

2/ On origins, @QOrigins did a good summary piece a few weeks ago:

Bellingcat Investigation Team (2021). The Making of QAnon: A Crowdsourced Conspiracy. bellingcat. 7 January https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2021/01/07/the-making-of-qanon-a-crowdsourced-conspiracy/, accessed 23 January 2021.

3/ On spread outward, great piece by @BrandyZadrozny and @oneunderscore__

Brandy Zadrozny and Ben Collins, 2018. "How three conspiracy theorists took 'Q' and sparked Qanon," NBC News (14 August), at https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/how-three-conspiracy-theorists-took-q-sparked-qanon-n900531, accessed January 23, 2021.

4/ On mainstreaming:

Lisa Lerer, 2020. "The QAnon Caucus." New York Times (June 18), at https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/18/us/politics/qanon-candidates.html, accessed January 23, 2021.

5/ On mainstreaming, by @AlKapDC:

Alex Kaplan. 2020. "In 2020, QAnon became all of our problem." Media Matters (December 31), at https://www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspiracy-theory/2020-qanon-became-all-our-problem, accessed January 23, 2021.

6/ On QAnon as a security concern, by me and @_MAArgentino:

Arnath Amarasingam and Marc-André Argentino (2020). The QAnon conspiracy theory: A security threat in the making? CTC Sentinel, 13, 37–44. Retrieved from https://ctc.usma.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/CTC-SENTINEL-072020.pdf, accessed January 23, 2021.

7/ Cross-platform analysis of QAnon online, by research team at University of Amsterdam:

de Zeeuw, D., Hagen, S., Peeters, S., & Jokubauskaite, E. (2020). Tracing normiefication. First Monday, 25(11). https://doi.org/10.5210/fm.v25i11.10643, accessed January 23, 2021.

8/ Analysis of QAnon content on Facebook, by the team at @ISDglobal:

Ciaran O'Connor, Cooper Gatewood, Kendrick McDonald and Sarah Brandt. (2020). "The Boom Before the Ban: QAnon and Facebook." Institute for Strategic Dialogue (December 18), at https://www.isdglobal.org/isd-publications/the-boom-before-the-ban-qanon-and-facebook/, accessed January 23, 2021.

9/ Trend analysis of QAnon from 2017 to 2020, also by the @ISDglobal team:

Aoife Gallagher, Jacob Davey, Mackenzie Hart. (2020). "The Genesis of a Conspiracy Theory: Key Trends in QAnon Activity Since 2017." Institute for Strategic Dialogue (July 24), at https://www.isdglobal.org/isd-publications/the-genesis-of-a-conspiracy-theory/, accessed January 23, 2021.

10/ Looking at QAnon as a new religious movement, by @_MAArgentino:

Marc-André Argentino (2020). "The Church of QAnon: Will conspiracy theories form the basis of a new religious movement?" The Conversation (May 18), at https://theconversation.com/the-church-of-qanon-will-conspiracy-theories-form-the-basis-of-a-new-religious-movement-137859, accessed January 23, 2021.

11/ Also on QAnon as a new religious movement, by @_MAArgentino:

Marc-André Argentino (2020). "In the Name of the Father, Son, and Q: Why It's Important to See QAnon as a 'Hyper-Real' Religion," Religion Dispatches (May 28), at https://religiondispatches.org/in-the-name-of-the-father-son-and-q-why-its-important-to-see-qanon-as-a-hyper-real-religion/, accessed January 23, 2021.

12/ A recent broad overview of several issues related to QAnon, by @ncri_io:

Network Contagion Research Institute (2020). "The QAnon Conspiracy: Destroying Families, Dividing Communities, Undermining Democracy." (December 15) https://networkcontagion.us/wp-content/uploads/NCRI---The-QAnon-Conspiracy-FINAL.pdf, accessed January 23, 2021.

13/ Finally, on movement survival even after predictions repeatedly fail, by me and @_MAArgentino. Might be something to read going into inauguration. lol

Arnath Amarasingam and Marc-André Argentino (2020). "QAnon's Predictions Haven't Come True; So How Does the Movement Survive the Failure of Prophecy?," Religion Dispatches (October 28), at https://religiondispatches.org/qanons-predictions-havent-come-true-so-how-does-the-movement-survive-the-failure-of-prophecy/, accessed January 23, 2021.

14/14. As always, if I missed anything, please post as reply here.

15/14 Oh, and not an article, but @QanonAnonymous has been covering the ins and outs of this long before most. Here's a great episode with @elspethreeve about the Capitol Hill storming.

The Qanon Anonymous Podcast Episode 125: Coup Anon feat Elle Reeve & Eleanor Janega, Sunday 10 January 2021. https://pca.st/6oji9qk2, accessed January 23, 2021.

16/14 Yes. This also. Loved this piece.

To use, or be used by social media, that is the question.

Figure 1: What is the Major Impact of Social Media? (Simplilearn, 2019)               

The best way to describe my relationship with social media is through the biological concept of symbiotic relationships that are divided into three types, namely; mutualistic, commensal, and parasitic relationships.

Most of us find ourselves in a commensal relationship with social media. According to the editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica (2017), commensalism is defined as a biological relationship between individuals of two species in which one obtains benefits from the other without harming or benefitting the latter. One such example the use of Instagram as a self-help tool. I follow an Instagram account run by a Canadian Certified Counsellor who’s currently a doctoral student at Sigmund Freud University studying Psychotherapy. This “Instagrammer” posts about different psychological issues that can occur in our everyday lives in a relatable manner. Following this account allows me to gain wholesome insights and relatively accurate advice on how to cope with stresses I may encounter in everyday life. This, in turn, boosts my overall mood and productivity, hence positively impacting me.

A mutualistic relationship is defined as an association between two different species in which each benefit (Britannica, 2018). This is explored in a research paper by Dwivedi et al. (2015) on social media marketing and advertising. The authors write that social media has gained fame as an extraordinarily effective and impactful channel of communication for companies to their consumers. One form of communication is presented as advertising where companies pay social media platforms for the rights to use the platform to advertise their company. In this relationship, both the platform and the company benefit from the connection through an increase of revenue and greater brand exposure, respectively.

Speaking of exposure, social media also exposes the individual using it to many toxic posts. This toxic relationship is best represented by a parasitic relationship, defined as a relationship between two species in which one benefits at the expense of the other (Britannica, 2019). We are all guilty of following “Instagrammers” who we look up to, be it for their perfect fashion sense or picture-perfect lives. Observing their friend- and fun-filled experiences create an unrealistic standard of living, which may result in making us feel more lonely. As seen from an article by Medical News Today (Railton, 2018), reducing your use of social media makes you feel less isolated. The report states that it’s due to how easy it is to conclude through social media that other people’s lives are better than ours. The issue is that we do not see that it’s called “picture perfect” for a reason. The posts we like are curated to be what the “poster” want us to see: The perfect highlights of their lives.  

For many, especially those from “Generation Z”, having examples of these types of relationships in our own lives is quite common. Depending on the content, our mood and a myriad of other factors, our relationships with social media constantly evolves. Hence, I believe that our relationship with social media is highly dependent on our choices of who we follow and who we allow to follow us as well as the kind of activities we partake on the platform.

It’s in our hands, what will YOU choose to do? To use, or be used by social media, that is the question.

US intelligence bill takes aim at commercial spyware makers

A newly released draft intelligence bill, passed by the Senate Intelligence Committee last week, would require the government to detail the threats posed by commercial spyware and surveillance technology.

The annual intelligence authorization bill, published Thursday, would take aim at private sector spyware makers, like NSO Group and Hacking Team, who build spyware and hacking tools designed to surreptitiously break into a victim’s devices for conducting surveillance. Both NSO Group and Hacking Team say they only sell their hacking tools to governments, but critics say that its customers have included despotic and authoritarian regimes like Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

If passed, the bill would instruct the Director of National Intelligence to submit a report to both House and Senate intelligence committees within six months on the “threats posed by the use by foreign governments and entities of commercially available cyber intrusion and other surveillance technology” against U.S. citizens, residents and federal employees.

The report would also have to note if any spyware or surveillance technology is built by U.S. companies and what export controls should apply to prevent that technology from getting into the hands of unfriendly foreign governments.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) was the only member of the Senate Intelligence Committee to vote against the bill, citing a broken, costly declassification system, but praised the inclusion of the commercial spyware provision.

Commercial spyware and surveillance technology became a mainstream talking point two years ago after the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, which U.S. intelligence concluded was personally ordered by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto leader. A lawsuit filed by a Saudi dissident and friend of Khashoggi accuses NSO Group of selling its mobile hacking tool, dubbed Pegasus, to the Saudi regime, which allegedly used the technology to spy on Khashoggi shortly before his murder. NSO denies the claims.

NSO is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Facebook for allegedly exploiting a now-fixed vulnerability in WhatsApp to deliver its spyware to the cell phones of 1,400 users, including government officials, journalists and human rights activists, using Amazon cloud servers based in the U.S. and Germany.

In a separate incident, human rights experts at the United Nations have called for an investigation into allegations that the Saudi government used its spyware to hack into the phone of Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos. NSO has repeatedly denied the allegations.

John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at the Citizen Lab, part of the Munk School at the University of Toronto, told TechCrunch that the bill’s draft provisions “couldn’t come at a more important time.”

“Reporting throughout the security industry, as well as actions taken by Apple, Google, Facebook and others have made it clear that [spyware] is a problem at scale and is dangerous to U.S. national security and these companies,” said Scott-Railton. “Commercial spyware, when used by governments, is the ‘next Huawei’ in terms of the security of Americans and needs to be treated as a serious security threat,” he said.

“They brought this on themselves by claiming fo years that everything was fine while evidence mounted in every sector of the U.S. and global society that there was a problem,” he said.

ACLU: When You Have Data, They Will Come

When You Have Data, They Will Come Security expert Jon Callas breaks down the fatal flaws of a recent proposal to add a secret user — the government — to our encrypted conversations.

Note: This is part two of a four-part series where security expert Jon Callas breaks down the fatal flaws of a recent proposal to add a secret user — the government — to our encrypted conversations. Part one can be found here.

A recent essay by technical leaders of Britain’s GCHQ proposes a law that would require software companies to enable the secret addition of an extra user — the government — to spy on an otherwise securely encrypted conversation, thereby destroying the confidentiality and privacy encrypted communications provide us. The essay claims that this exceptional access proposal would only be used by “responsible law enforcement” and “democratically elected representatives and judiciary...and certainly doesn’t give any government power they shouldn’t have.”

This is a fantasy. When I build software and hardware as a software engineer and security specialist, I am never naïve enough to think that my customers would only be surveilled by good governments, any more than I was naïve enough to think my tools would only be used by good people. In fact, I build my systems presuming that even I’m not to be trusted with my customers' data. I’m not alone by any means in this. Those of us who build services know that we make outright mistakes, do favors we shouldn’t have, and never understand the whole picture. So we accept that we are threats, too, to the safety of our users. We remove our own privileged position every place we can and make sure that not even we can decrypt our users’ information.

The GCHQ authors understand this, too. They should know better than to suggest that the genie will only grant good wishes made by good people, and that those people will only use their wish only for good once granted. The now-fictional GCHQ “ghost user” technology would provide access for democratically elected representatives inevitably will also be used by non-democratic, unelected, unrepresentative, and autocratic governments.

China will demand status to use ghost users. China already mandates its own standards for encryption, networking, network security, and cloud services.  It will certainly demand that it be allowed to use the ghost user backdoor, too — and will use its substantial economic power to pressure companies to comply. There's no way around this. Messaging services will be forced to either offer China the same access they give to the UK, US, and any other imaginary club of “good countries,” or forego Chinese users. Employees of services that resist and decide not to operate in China would be wise to never travel to China nor to countries that have extradition treaties with China, because they may be at risk for refusing to facilitate Chinese surveillance with their “good guy” backdoored products. Once the ghost user technology is built, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and other nations will require access to it as well.

Emboldened by U.S. and U.K. technology regulation, these nations will push for additional security compromises as well as data retention and other privacy-invading practices.

The Indian government has a history of fighting WhatsApp — the unnamed target of the GCHQ proposal — over its encryption. India has proposed changes to its laws that would require services to break encryption for the government and to retain data about users’ conversations. The proposed changes to Indian law would require access to messages if there is a court order from any country.

Thailand, where insulting the king is illegal, has also proposed laws mandating that its government be able to access private communications. So has Vietnam.

Singapore has proposed a “Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill,” that uses the problem of misinformation as a reason for many restrictions.

For now, tech creators and civil liberties organizations have managed to push back on most exceptional access requirements, and we shouldn’t discount the moral and persuasive force of being able to point to the absence of such requirements in the US and the UK. Should mandatory “wiretappability” be required in the United States and the United Kingdom, other countries will take advantage of the feature, or make it be a requirement to do business there as well.

Today, governments that want to spy on political opponents, activists, and journalists generally have to resort to commercial malware and spying tools sold by unscrupulous contractors such as the NSO Group and Darkmatter, which supply turnkey spyware developed in Israel and the UAE respectively to Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Turkey, and many more countries. These tools have been used to spy on public health scientists promoting childhood obesity prevention and taxes on sodas, are connected to the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and to a reported campaign to intimidate Washington Post-owner Jeff Bezos.

Currently, oppressive governments have to pay for the services of these hacking companies. They have to hope that their targets are using vulnerable software or that they click on malicious links in phishing emails. And they have to avoid detection by investigators at groups like Citizen Lab. But if the GCHQ proposal worked, doing all of this bad-guy hacking would be so much easier. Governments could just call Facebook and demand access to the conversations of any of WhatsApp’s 1.8 billion active users. These demands may or may not be accompanied by whatever legal papers are required under local laws.

As co-founder of PGP and Silent Circle, it was never far from my mind that if my product wasn’t secure, oppressive governments would use it to spy on my customers. We didn’t want to be a part of Mexico undermining health advocates, and we knew that eventually our companies would be put to the test by oppressive regimes.  It is a fantasy to think that companies, even those based in the U.S., can define a club of “good” countries and only respond to legal demands from those governments, or that so-called “good” countries would only put the technology to “good” uses. So we built our products to securely encrypt user data. It would have been irresponsible to vulnerable communities, human rights activists, and journalists that depend on secure encryption for their physical safety for us to try to just wave away the thorny details of the inevitable tide of international exceptional access demands.

Of course, we nevertheless had to be ready for international demands for whatever data our products did generate. When you have data, they will come. As a provider of communications tools and services, you are the intermediary ensuring that investigators get the data they are permitted to, but no more. There are real dangers — to public relations, privacy, and security — to mismanaging these demands.

Rather than grapple with the reality of these difficulties, the GCHQ proposal seems to just trust that technology providers will magically be able to sift between deserving and undeserving governments demanding ghost user access. It would never be that easy and creating such a mechanism would open the door to vast abuses around the globe. The ghost user capability should never be created.

Part three, which addresses the GCHQ authors assertion that adding a secret listener to a conversation is just like attaching “crocodile clips” to a phone wire, can be found here.

When You Have Data, They Will Come

Security expert Jon Callas breaks down the fatal flaws of a recent proposal to add a secret user — the government — to our encrypted conversations.

Note: This is part two of a four-part series where security expert Jon Callas breaks down the fatal flaws of a recent proposal to add a secret user — the government — to our encrypted conversations. Part one can be found here.

A recent essay by technical leaders of Britain’s GCHQ proposes a law that would require software companies to enable the secret addition of an extra user — the government — to spy on an otherwise securely encrypted conversation, thereby destroying the confidentiality and privacy encrypted communications provide us. The essay claims that this exceptional access proposal would only be used by “responsible law enforcement” and “democratically elected representatives and judiciary...and certainly doesn’t give any government power they shouldn’t have.”

This is a fantasy. When I build software and hardware as a software engineer and security specialist, I am never naïve enough to think that my customers would only be surveilled by good governments, any more than I was naïve enough to think my tools would only be used by good people. In fact, I build my systems presuming that even I’m not to be trusted with my customers' data. I’m not alone by any means in this. Those of us who build services know that we make outright mistakes, do favors we shouldn’t have, and never understand the whole picture. So we accept that we are threats, too, to the safety of our users. We remove our own privileged position every place we can and make sure that not even we can decrypt our users’ information.

The GCHQ authors understand this, too. They should know better than to suggest that the genie will only grant good wishes made by good people, and that those people will only use their wish only for good once granted. The now-fictional GCHQ “ghost user” technology would provide access for democratically elected representatives inevitably will also be used by non-democratic, unelected, unrepresentative, and autocratic governments.

China will demand status to use ghost users. China already mandates its own standards for encryption, networking, network security, and cloud services.  It will certainly demand that it be allowed to use the ghost user backdoor, too — and will use its substantial economic power to pressure companies to comply. There's no way around this. Messaging services will be forced to either offer China the same access they give to the UK, US, and any other imaginary club of “good countries,” or forego Chinese users. Employees of services that resist and decide not to operate in China would be wise to never travel to China nor to countries that have extradition treaties with China, because they may be at risk for refusing to facilitate Chinese surveillance with their “good guy” backdoored products. Once the ghost user technology is built, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and other nations will require access to it as well.

Emboldened by U.S. and U.K. technology regulation, these nations will push for additional security compromises as well as data retention and other privacy-invading practices.

The Indian government has a history of fighting WhatsApp — the unnamed target of the GCHQ proposal — over its encryption. India has proposed changes to its laws that would require services to break encryption for the government and to retain data about users’ conversations. The proposed changes to Indian law would require access to messages if there is a court order from any country.

Thailand, where insulting the king is illegal, has also proposed laws mandating that its government be able to access private communications. So has Vietnam.

Singapore has proposed a “Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill,” that uses the problem of misinformation as a reason for many restrictions.

For now, tech creators and civil liberties organizations have managed to push back on most exceptional access requirements, and we shouldn’t discount the moral and persuasive force of being able to point to the absence of such requirements in the US and the UK. Should mandatory “wiretappability” be required in the United States and the United Kingdom, other countries will take advantage of the feature, or make it be a requirement to do business there as well.

Today, governments that want to spy on political opponents, activists, and journalists generally have to resort to commercial malware and spying tools sold by unscrupulous contractors such as the NSO Group and Darkmatter, which supply turnkey spyware developed in Israel and the UAE respectively to Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Turkey, and many more countries. These tools have been used to spy on public health scientists promoting childhood obesity prevention and taxes on sodas, are connected to the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and to a reported campaign to intimidate Washington Post-owner Jeff Bezos.

Currently, oppressive governments have to pay for the services of these hacking companies. They have to hope that their targets are using vulnerable software or that they click on malicious links in phishing emails. And they have to avoid detection by investigators at groups like Citizen Lab. But if the GCHQ proposal worked, doing all of this bad-guy hacking would be so much easier. Governments could just call Facebook and demand access to the conversations of any of WhatsApp’s 1.8 billion active users. These demands may or may not be accompanied by whatever legal papers are required under local laws.

As co-founder of PGP and Silent Circle, it was never far from my mind that if my product wasn’t secure, oppressive governments would use it to spy on my customers. We didn’t want to be a part of Mexico undermining health advocates, and we knew that eventually our companies would be put to the test by oppressive regimes.  It is a fantasy to think that companies, even those based in the U.S., can define a club of “good” countries and only respond to legal demands from those governments, or that so-called “good” countries would only put the technology to “good” uses. So we built our products to securely encrypt user data. It would have been irresponsible to vulnerable communities, human rights activists, and journalists that depend on secure encryption for their physical safety for us to try to just wave away the thorny details of the inevitable tide of international exceptional access demands.

Of course, we nevertheless had to be ready for international demands for whatever data our products did generate. When you have data, they will come. As a provider of communications tools and services, you are the intermediary ensuring that investigators get the data they are permitted to, but no more. There are real dangers — to public relations, privacy, and security — to mismanaging these demands.

Rather than grapple with the reality of these difficulties, the GCHQ proposal seems to just trust that technology providers will magically be able to sift between deserving and undeserving governments demanding ghost user access. It would never be that easy and creating such a mechanism would open the door to vast abuses around the globe. The ghost user capability should never be created.

Part three, which addresses the GCHQ authors assertion that adding a secret listener to a conversation is just like attaching “crocodile clips” to a phone wire, can be found here.

The Benefits of a Plant Based Diet

Now that I have made it clear of all the problems that factory farming are causing our environment, I would like to describe the easiest way that the average person can contribute to making a difference. I myself have been eating a vegan diet for the last 3 years, not only for the environmental impact but the health benefits as well. However, understanding how adjusting to a vegan diet can be difficult, I know that it is not a possibility for all people. There are several ways to change your diet that can change our society’s climate change contributions for the better.

The easiest change that can be made is adopting a “Meatless Mondays” diet. This is exactly what it sounds like- not consuming meat on Mondays. Denis Hayes, author of Cowed, a book on the impact of cows on our environment declares that "The amount of carbon dioxide that is given off per pound of beef is, in fact, greater than burning a gallon of gasoline." If the average American stops eating meat, specifically beef at least one day a week, this number could be dramatically reduced. Farms will emit less greenhouse gases from the lowered demand for meat. Transferring to consuming plant-based protein contributes far less to greenhouse gas emissions because the production of fruits and vegetables is much less harmful in this aspect. Furthermore, the unnecessary use of large amounts of water will be lowered. Plants consume less water than animals do, meaning we are keeping our water supplies more open not only for ourselves but for our entire planet. It takes 425 gallons of water to produce a quarter pound of beef which equates to 6,800 glasses of drinking water. Less beef produced=more glasses of drinking water for us humans. Additionally, we waste a significant amount of fossil fuels in the production of beef. According to Meatlessmonday.com, the amount of toxic emissions coming from the production of a quarter pound of beef is equivalent to driving 6.7 miles. The goal of this Meatless Monday approach is to reduce demand for these products, therefore lowering the supply and in turn the harmful climate change contributors.

This is a simple and easy way to make a positive impact on our climate. In addition to having environmental benefits of changing your diet, there are many health benefits as well. An entirely plant-based diet can dramatically lower your risk for heart disease, high cholesterol, and even diabetes. A nutrition study completed in 2018 by Medical News Today confirmed that people living in the Netherlands who consumed less animal-derived protein were at a much lower risk of developing coronary heart disease later in life. The same results were concluded from a study done in Brazil, as well as one in South Asia. Limited consumption of animal-based proteins opens up your diet for much richer, more nutritious sources of protein. Plants contain lots of fiber and iron in addition to protein.

Collectively, whether you decide to cut meat out once a week or entirely, you can make a positive impact on our environment and on your body. Emissions of greenhouse gases would be reduced and water would be saved. If each person makes a conscious effort to change, our minds, bodies, and environment will become cleaner and healthier places. Although we still see many issues in the lack of regulations surrounding farming as well as marine fisheries, there IS an easy change that can be made by ANYBODY to make a difference.

cannabis cancer blog are developed to intensify specific characteristics of the plant, or even to differentiate the strain for the purposes of marketing or even to make it far better as a drug Variety names are usually chosen by their growers , and frequently represent properties of the place such as tastes, color, smell, or the origin of the variety. As people become a lot more open about their tastes in intake of marijuana for therapeutic purposes and cerebral stimulation, researchers continue to improve their knowledge on cannabis microdosing. As the name shows, this OG Kush relative originates from California's San Fernando Valley. But that doesn't mean the government views weed and heroin as evenly dangerous drugs or that this considers cannabis to become more dangerous than meth or cocaine. As a matter of fact, most state governments had their own retail shops to market these drugs. High doses of THC are notoriously linked to the development of quick psychotic reactions, even in people who don't have schizophrenia, as well as symptoms of psychosis including depersonalization, worries of dying, irrational stress and paranoid ideas, although these symptoms often quickly abate soon after the consequences of marijuana have died. According to Railton (2018), People have used marijuana, or cannabis, to take care of their illnesses for at least 3000 years” (p.1). You can find such a stigma attached to marijuana, and it's mostly due to the fact that there surely is still insufficient research conducted by the opposition. Each year since 1981 charges have been presented to reclassify cannabis as a Plan II medicine, which would enable it to be prescribed for medical use and more easily researched , or even to completely avoid it from the set of controlled substances; none have ever made it out of committee. But you gotta undertake it every day.'), Arrested Development (Banana Stand Kush, recommended for a 'œbig yellow joint'), Chelsea (Vodkush, for the 'œadvanced botanist'), Sophistication And Frankie (Peyotea 73, an 'œuplifting sativa cross types'), Sweetheart Dynamite (Sassafrass OG, with 'œthe electric power of 1 thousand pug snorts'), Santa Clarita Diet (Baka Bile, to 'œreally crank up your appetite'), Orange Is The New African american (Poussey Riot, for 'œkicking it with someone, chatting, making mad ridiculous jokes'), and Unknown Knowledge Theater 3000: The Return (Moon 13, not too strong, which means you can 'œkeep your sanity, no robot friends required'). A recent study shown that regular weed use reduced the knowledge of low self-worth and the incidence of major depressive episodes in depressed people. Cannabis proponents were dealt a beat in Vermont in 2016, when its House defeated a Senate-approved plan for legalization , also scrapping an alternative plan to lower punishments for ownership. as well. Even rural area people increase weed using their livelihood. From the national government's perspective, this is actually the same as brought in ivory or heroin or any other illegal chemical or good. Despite its numerous physical and mental benefits, weed is still unlawful in most places and stigmatized credited to pharmaceutical and internalized racism. At the same time it is clear the current prohibition in New Zealand has had the undesireable effects of criminalising often law-abiding people, and concentrating on individuals coming to public attention for other reasons, resulting in men and Maori coming to increased risks of arrest and conviction for the ownership of cannabis. Combine problems like this with the fact that scientists working for the National Institute on SUBSTANCE ABUSE are frequently limited to studying cannabis that has been seized by police , and you get started to see the patterns that may lead to faulty conclusions: The weed examined in confirmed year also would have mostly result from a single region, or a specific grower, in so doing skewing the THC results, as when officials were sampling a Mexican tension with THC levels that hover somewhere within 0.4% and 1% - fairly weak grass. As the administration is still winding down two international wars that maimed quite a few citizens - including a few current lawmakers from both people - followers say now could be the perfect time to test weed treatment on vets, especially those working with PTSD or relying on a heavy opioid cocktail to cope with chronic pain. Around 60 percent of People in america now reside in the 28 areas and Washington, D.C. where medical cannabis is legal under talk about law. Acheson, the Iraq Warfare veteran and ex - area farmer, says he supports the state of hawaii Senate charge authored by Erpenbach, D-Middleton, to legalize medical weed in Wisconsin.
