These compounds, prized for their potential health benefits, were hidden among a rich mix of plant chemicals that vary dramatically even between just a few strains.
There’s at least part of the motive for US Congress to have outlawed cannabis seeds. It seems they want certain strains for Big Pharma drugs.

Is there any value in redundancy?
They’re no longer legally allowed to discriminate in South Africa, therefore white South Africans are victims. Religion played a dual role in SA, on the one hand, to rationalize apartheid, on the other, for liberation and reconciliation. The US seems to have a similar religious division between liberal and conservative sects.
Don’t forget the Stanford Prison Experiment. The problem is the CEOs aren’t like the psychologist running the experiment who brought it to an end when he realized it went too far.
“Tax scheme” explains why Nunes is moving to “Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board”.
Lawyers deserve lawyers, sir!
The Trump admin talks about the Iran war, and it appears to have been quite real, but it is the people and their laws which seem to be constantly in the Admin’s sights. The people are getting one “bombshell” news item after another where long-settled law is under attack (in this case medical records privacy). Has the Executive Branch been taken over by a hostile economic power, either a foreign government or a corporate syndicate of some kind?
In the facilities shut down, what happens with the patients? They can’t just up and walk out like healthy folks.

What’s the equivalent of this cardio for our ailing brains? A good candidate is reading. Making sense of written text exercises our minds in important ways. We develop what the cognitive neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf calls “deep reading processes” that rewire and retrain neuronal regions in ways that increase the complexity and nuance of what we’re able to understand. “Deep reading is our species’ bridge to insight and novel thought,” she writes. Perhaps consuming a few dozen book pages a day should become the new 10,000 daily steps — a basic foundation of activity to maintain cognitive fitness.
Honestly I think this read-more tactic has gone too far. Install a word counter and start paying attention to how many words are in news articles. I have been doing that, we have a large number of articles around the 5000 word length, with some significantly more. This opinion piece is over 3100 words, shorter than many articles posted. Assuming a 250 words-per-minute reading speed, this article takes 12 minutes to read. We can easily spend the entire day reading the top news stories in their entireties. In the old days, news items almost always had a lede summarizing the article. Today, many stories keep you reading by not having a lede. When we are reading, we do not have time for activities such as going out and holding up a First Amendment grievance sign, or writing a grievance letter to our legislators. We can all too easily get caught up in stories about Ms. Leavitts supposedly-unflattering double-chin photo, a manufactured controversy, simply as a method of wasting our reading time to stories of little importance to our civics-assigned task of being informed citizens.
Article moves from talking about anti-woke being racist, to the US military not refusing illegal orders and the danger of nuclear weapon use. Scary times when the right-wing gets near unanimous control (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial) of the levers of US government power.
