When you're sent for a CT scan for a suspected tumour, pace anxiously for two weeks while you await the results, then visit the specialist this morning and find out you're in the clear... #Relief#EndorphineRush#health
#TrickleDownEconomics holds that #taxes should be cut for the wealthiest #Americans & biggest corps, that public investments in… #education, #infrastructure & #HealthCare should be shrunk, & good #jobs shipped overseas. It has exacerbated #inequality & systemic barriers that make it harder for #Black Americans to start a business, own a home, send their children to school & retire w/dignity.
…We’re taking on housing discrimination & increasing #Black homeownership. To date, we’ve invested >$7B in historically Black #colleges & #universities to prepare students for high-growth industries. We’ve approved >$116B in #StudentLoanDebtCancellation for 3.4M #Americans so that #borrowers receive the #relief they deserve. And a new #StudentDebt repayment plan is helping Black #students & #families cut in half their total lifetime payments per dollar borrowed.

“Cannabis, Alzheimers, TBI and Invisible Disability"
Click here 🧠 to expand.
Cannabis can still be a controversial topic. The medical benefits for those with physical and invisible disabilities are no secret. People with Invisible disabilities, such as brain injury and PTSD, can be afforded great relief from symptoms by the flower.
Israeli Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, is a well known cannabis research pioneer who has been studying the plant for decades. Read about some of his work in the link below.
Other Research indicates that individuals living with Alzheimers and Dementia may also benefit with less risk and damaging effects than other drugs currently used.
Findings from another Israeli Researcher, Dedi Meiri, argue that there may be benefits to these individuals as well.
"There is a large and growing body of anecdotal accounts of the efficacy of cannabis for treating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The shortcomings ... life-threatening dangers...with... frequently prescribed pharmaceutical treatments... makes cannabis a particularly compelling option – especially considering its solid safety profile."
Even more research from the National Library of Medicine (PubMed.gov), speaks about the neuroprotectant antioxidant qualities of the herb. The PubMed link below contains several links to other studies on cannabis and it’s benefits for people with disabilities.
The human body is said to have CBD receptors "built" in. I am neither condoning, nor condemning the use of “Natures Pharmaceutical"; nor am I suggesting it's use. I am merely presenting medical findings.
According to laws in many places amidst these findings, the jury is still out on the subject.
