Scientists have discovered cannabidiol, a compound in cannabis known as CBD, in a common Brazilian plant, opening potential new avenues to produce the increasingly popular substance. The team found CBD in the fruits and flowers of a plant known as Trema micrantha blume, a shrub which grows across much of the South American country and is often considered a weed, molecular biologist Rodrigo Moura Neto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro told AFP in June 2023. CBD, increasingly used by some to treat conditions including epilepsy, chronic pain and anxiety, is one of the main active compounds in cannabis, along with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC – the substance that makes users feel high. The compound's effectiveness as a medical treatment is still under research.

Aren’t pibbles considered a “nanny breed”? Is an I mixing up the words in this language lol

Yes!

Pibbles were bred to take care of children! But unfortunately, that's also why they get labeled as "dangerous" - part of what makes them such good Nanny Dogs is because they are SO loyal to their humans, and evil humans took advantage of that loyalty and trained them to fight. The pibbles just want their humans to be happy and safe, and they'll protect their humans from danger regardless of their own safety. If they're trained into thinking that fighting makes their human happy, then they'll use that same mindset to go into fights as well.

but every single pibble I have ever met has been the sweetest, most pitiful baby who wants to just cuddle and give kisses. And their Nanny Instincts are still very much intact, making them wanna Mother every small creature they see

Here's a picture of my pibble Daisy, the one who just died of cancer, trying to Mother a frog

(Not pictured; Daisy's tail going wild, and her whining because her Baby is Too Far Away)

Here's Daisy, being lifted up to look into an enclosure where baby chickens were being held temporarily because she wouldn't stop crying until she got to see the Babies

When our bunnies accidentally had babies before we could get them fixed, and Daisy was obsessed with the baby buns. She even alerted us when one of the babies got injured

And finally, one of the best pictures of all time. When we first got Daisy, and she was only a few months old while showing the first signs of her being such a good Nanny Dog.

The child is my cousin, Sydni. Sydni has severe epilepsy(Doose Syndrome) that started when she was about 4 years old. I honestly don't remember how old she is, but even now that she's in her late teens, she still has the mental state of a 4 year old due to having literally thousands of seizures every single day. (shout out to Charlotte's Web CBD for reducing those numbers down to double digits daily. Literally life changing/saving) Syd was having a sleepover with us, we made sleeping arrangements on the floor to avoid risking her having a seizure in the middle of the night and falling off the bed. Daisy, even as a 3-ish mo old puppy, never left Sydni's side and constantly watched over her, like she just Knew that Sydni needed extra care and Daisy was already willing to put in the work to take care of her.

Cannabis: A Multifaceted Plant for a Multitude of Uses

Introduction

Cannabis, a plant that has been a part of human history for thousands of years, is experiencing a resurgence in popularity as its myriad of uses become increasingly recognised. From its strong fibres used in textiles and paper to its nutritional and medicinal properties, cannabis has proven itself to be a truly multipurpose plant. This article will delve into the various aspects of this versatile plant and explore how it has been utilised throughout history and across cultures.

The History of Hemp: A Material with Unmatched Strength

One of the most well-known uses of cannabis is in the production of hemp, a material derived from the plant's strong fibres. These fibres have been used for millennia to create durable cloth, rope, and paper. The Vikings, known for their seafaring prowess, utilised hemp to construct sails for their ships, enabling them to voyage from Scandinavia to Nova Scotia. In the United States, Betsy Ross sewed the first flag from hempen cloth, and the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. Even the now obsolete German currency, Deutsche Mark, were once printed on hemp paper.

The use of hemp extended beyond these applications, as seen in the Netherlands, where windmills were built specifically to crush hemp stalks. This demonstrates the importance of hemp in various industries and highlights the plant's incredible versatility.

Cannabis as a Nutritional Powerhouse

While the strength of its fibres may have initially attracted humans to the cannabis plant, its potential as a food source likely played a significant role in its widespread cultivation. Cannabis seeds, or hempseeds, are packed with essential nutrients such as polyunsaturated fats, essential fatty acids, and proteins. These qualities qualify hempseed as a functional food, meaning it provides health benefits beyond basic nutrition.

For over three thousand years, Asian cultures have utilised hempseed as both a food and a medicine. Despite the prohibition of cannabis products in the United States, hempseed has been allowed for use in food over the last two decades. This highlights the recognition of its nutritional value and potential health benefits.

Cannabis Resin: A Source of Medicinal and Psychoactive Compounds

The resin produced by the cannabis plant is another aspect that has garnered significant attention due to its medicinal and psychoactive properties. The compounds found in cannabis resin, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), have been the focus of breeding efforts to increase their production. These efforts have led to the development of various cannabis drug chemotypes around the world, with some cultivars producing only THC, others producing both THC and CBD, and a few expressing propyl THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) and/or CBDV (cannabidivarin).

The medicinal uses of cannabis resin have been widely researched, with evidence suggesting its effectiveness in treating conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and more. The psychoactive effects of THC have also led to the recreational use of cannabis, which has sparked debates surrounding its legalisation and regulation.

Environmental Benefits of Cannabis Cultivation

In addition to its myriad uses, cannabis cultivation offers several environmental benefits. Hemp plants are known to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, making them an effective tool in combating climate change. Furthermore, hemp requires fewer pesticides and herbicides than many other crops, reducing the environmental impact of agriculture.

Cannabis can also be used as a source of biofuel, offering a renewable and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Additionally, the fast growth rate and low water requirements of hemp make it a sustainable crop, capable of providing resources without causing significant strain on natural resources.

Conclusion

Cannabis is a truly remarkable plant, with applications ranging from textiles and paper to nutrition and medicine. As society continues to recognise its numerous benefits, it is likely that the cultivation and use of cannabis will only continue to grow. By embracing this versatile plant, we can harness its potential to improve our health, industries, and environment for generations to come.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #177

I woke up in a bit of a funk today for some reason. Probably because I forgot to eat yesterday. And probably because I was a bit dehydrated when I woke up. I corrected the hunger and the dehydration immediately upon exiting the bed, but… it took me a hot minute to get the gumption to get myself upright.

I wonder if you have days like that.

Well. I made a tea today. This one was a blend of black tea and rooibos, flavored with vanilla, cream, citrus, cornflower, roses, chamomile, and peppermint. It tastes like a bright, sunny, breezy day outdoors in a garden. I sweetened it with that orange simple syrup and a bit of cream. I'll show you today's swirls:

I thought about playing Dead Cells again. I haven't touched it in some time though, so I'm probably not any good at it anymore. But that's all right. I thought to stream it sometime so people can maybe watch me derp around like a n00b as I relearn the controls. So I got a different streaming platform, because I guess the one I'm using has discontinued support. Oh well. I got so far as getting it set up today, but I didn't do much else.

I ran a few errands after that. I got my medicine, and I got CBD oil for Hoshi (one of my cats) for his epilepsy, and I got them a few new toys from the pet supply store, too. Mogwai is especially fond of the ones with feathers, and the very first thing he did was carry them to the cat-proof outdoor space that J and I built, haha! I'll retrieve them and bring them in before dark.

Along the way, J and I took some pictures of the sky for you, because it was especially dynamic today!! I'll start with some that J took:

Here are some of the ones that I took:

...On a whim, I got some weird ones of the moon, too:

...And a weird one of the sun shining between tree trunks!

None of these were especially difficult to get this time. But I hope you like them anyway.

I came out of the funk shortly after getting out of the house. I imagine that moving around, getting some fresh air, and actually eating and drinking things probably helped a lot. I'm gonna try not to drop the ball again tomorrow.

Hey, Sephiroth? I hope soon you'll get to have fresh air, tasty snacks, warm, soothing things to drink, and exercise that isn't related to you needing to fight for your life. Try to get these things soon, okay? Maybe you'll feel just a tiny bit better. DDR is a good way to get exercise, and so is walking on nature trails in places that aren't dangerous. I hope you'll get to try it out!!

I love you. And I'll write again soon, okay? Please stay safe and take good care of yourself. Please treat yourself like a friend would...

Your friend, Lumine

CBD Oil works WITH your body to ADDRESS YOUR PAIN FROM WITHIN. With the federal ban on CBD lifted, more and more clinical studies are being conducted every day on cannabinoids (CBD). The cannabinoids found in CBD CARE Oils are the SAME compounds that regulate mood and pain in the brain and body.

ORDER FROM HERE

Harvard Medical released an article on CBD and reported that exact same compound that is currently being used in caring for epilepsy, is also widely available to be used as a supplement for anxiety, insomnia, and used as an option for chronic pain. Another study also indicated that when used topically, CBD could lower pain and inflammation due to arthritis. In just days, the cannabinoids in CBD CARE Drops will tune your entire endocannabinoid system (the network of receptors found throughout your body, including your brain, organs, glands).

🚨 “Weed Is Bad,” You Say? Meanwhile, Alcohol Is Casually Ending Bloodlines in 4K 🧪

A Cultural Delusion in 5 Brutal Acts

🧠 INTRO: The Great Cognitive Scam

Every time someone says “Weed is bad,” it’s always with the same energy:

"It makes people lazy, paranoid, stupid, sluggish, unreliable..."

Meanwhile, those same people will raise a glass of alcohol —

The most socially accepted poison on the planet —

With a smile and a toast and zero shame.

But let’s not sugarcoat it:

Alcohol kills.

Weed annoys.

There’s a difference.

And it’s time we face it.

📊 ACT I: THE BLOODY RECEIPTS — Alcohol’s Kill Count

🔪 Drunk Driving Deaths (US, annually):

10,000+ people die each year in the U.S. alone due to alcohol-impaired driving.

That’s one death every 52 minutes.

👊 Alcohol-Related Violence:

Nearly 55% of domestic abuse cases involve alcohol.

Bar fights? Sexual assaults? Unprovoked street violence?

Alcohol is in the bloodstream every single time.

💀 Alcohol Poisoning:

Every day, six people in the U.S. die from alcohol poisoning.

Most of them? Men between 35–64. Grown-ass men drinking themselves to death.

🏥 Liver Disease & Organ Failure:

Alcohol-related liver disease kills 22,000+ Americans per year.

Alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen, just like asbestos and plutonium.

(Yes, you read that correctly.)

Meanwhile...

🌿 ACT II: The Weed Apocalypse That Never Happened

💨 Weed Fatalities (Global History):

Total confirmed overdose deaths from cannabis:

Zero.

📉 Behavioral Risk:

Cannabis may impair short-term memory or coordination in high doses.

But you know what it doesn’t do?

Make you beat your partner, vomit blood, crash into a school bus, or punch a cop.

🔬 Medical Facts:

THC and CBD both show neuroprotective qualities in early-stage studies.

Used for:

Epilepsy

Chronic pain

Cancer treatment side-effects

PTSD

Anxiety disorders

Opioid addiction recovery

But yeah, Karen, go off about how “weed ruins lives” while your boyfriend screams at you drunk because the chicken’s undercooked.

🤯 ACT III: A Little Psychological Trick (That Will Break Their Mental Framing)

Ready? Here’s the framing flip you drop on any "weed bad" person:

✨ “Imagine weed was invented after alcohol.” And both substances had to go through approval today. Which one do you think would be illegal? The one that makes you eat too many snacks and fall asleep watching cartoons? Or the one that kills thousands, causes car crashes, organ failure, violent outbursts, and long-term brain damage?

Ask them.

Let them sit in it.

Watch their gears grind.

Let the hypocrisy do the damage.

😬 ACT IV: The “Weed Bad” Embarrassment Checklist

Let’s play a little game.

Answer honestly:

If you’ve ever said “weed is bad,” but…

⬜ Have blacked out drunk

⬜ Have driven buzzed

⬜ Have had a violent argument with alcohol in your system

⬜ Have made a sexual decision you regretted while drunk

⬜ Have puked in public or private due to drinking

⬜ Have missed work due to hangovers

⬜ Have witnessed violence, harassment, or trauma due to alcohol

⬜ Have casually excused drunk aggression as “just how they get sometimes”

Then congratulations:

You’re not anti-drug. You’re just culturally biased.

And you're probably too deep in the “beer good, weed bad” matrix to notice your own hypocrisy.

🧨 ACT V: The Reason This Narrative Exists

Here’s the kicker:

🤝 ALCOHOL IS PROFITABLE

Advertised during the Super Bowl

$250 billion industry globally

Politically entrenched

Taxed and lobbied to the moon

🧱 WEED IS CONTROL

Weaponized to arrest Black and brown communities

Labeled a “gateway drug” while beer commercials show frat guys having the time of their lives

Only recently being legalized because white entrepreneurs want to cash in

The criminalization of weed was never about health.

It was about control, fear, race, and money.

🧠 FINAL ANALOGY: Alcohol Is the Abusive Ex Society Still Romanticizes

Imagine this:

You break up with someone who:

But society keeps saying:

“Oh come on, they’re fun at parties! They’ve been around forever!”

Meanwhile, a quiet, weird little stoner walks into your life like:

“Hey, I’m not perfect, but I mostly just chill, snack, vibe, and nap.”

And you’re like:

“GET OUT YOU MONSTER!”

See how stupid that sounds?

🏁 FINAL VERDICT: Weed Isn’t Your Enemy. Your Normalized Poison Is.

If alcohol were invented today, it’d be banned before it left clinical trials.

If weed were invented today, it’d be sold at Whole Foods as an anxiety remedy with a mason jar and a hand-written label.

Let go of the programming.

Face the hypocrisy.

And stop pretending that the real problem is the plant that’s never killed anyone.

💨 Reblog if you’ve ever seen someone blackout and destroy their life — and it wasn’t weed’s fault. 🧠 Comment if you’ve caught yourself repeating propaganda without fact-checking. 🚫 Follow if you’re done pretending poison is culture just because it comes in a glass.

⚖️ LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This post is written for the purpose of artistic expression, cultural commentary, and psychological exploration of social and gender dynamics. It does not condone or encourage violence, harassment, or discrimination of any kind. Any references to power, strength, restraint, or critique are metaphorical, symbolic, and rooted in historical and cultural analysis. This is not a call to action — it’s a cultural mirror. If you feel offended, ask yourself if it’s from actual harm — or from seeing something you hoped no one would say out loud.

✨ TL;DR: If you're mad, it’s probably not because it’s wrong — it’s because you know it’s true.

I had a seizure this afternoon. Not a tonic-clonic, but enough that I'm too tired to do much more sewing. I'll be able to finish the quilt top in the span of a couple hours, so it'll be finished tomorrow.

No worries. I'm okay. Remember, I have seizures daily, but rarely thr big ones now because of my CBD+THC edible I take every night for chronic pain and insomnia. My ADHD med is also making a huge difference. Still, my epilepsy will never be 100% controlled.

DO NOT OFFER ADVICE!!! Nor hugs. This is a daily event, I'm fine. Just letting y'all know why there won't be WIP pics.

In other news, I found these yesterday:

Both from the 1930s. The Singer needs major repairs, the Gritzner is $200 and works. The latter is also 100% manual, no electricity is used as far as I can tell. Nope, didn't buy them. It was just a cool find.

Scientists Find Cannabis Compound Inside Totally Different Plant in Brazil

Scientists have discovered cannabidiol, a compound in cannabis known as CBD, in a common Brazilian plant, opening potential new avenues to produce the increasingly popular substance.

The team found CBD in the fruits and flowers of a plant known as Trema micrantha blume, a shrub which grows across much of the South American country and is often considered a weed, molecular biologist Rodrigo Moura Neto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro told AFP in June.

The compound's effectiveness as a medical treatment is still under research.

Neto said chemical analysis had found "Trema" contains CBD but not THC, raising the possibility of an abundant new source of the former – one that would not face the legal and regulatory hurdles of cannabis, which continues to be outlawed in many places, including Brazil.
