Over time, alcohol could end up becoming taboo
Whatever marijuana’s health risks, it’s always going to be exponentially safer than Canada’s other legal party drug: alcohol. Alcohol puts more Canadians in the hospital every year than heart attacks. Alcohol is also a major contributor to virtually every violent crime imaginable. Half of all murderers had been drinking at the time of their offence, according to a 2014 meta-analysis. Roughly half of all sex assaults also involve alcohol in some form, according to U.S. stats. As social acceptance of pot increases — and as cannabis-infused drinks become more popular — it may start becoming gauche to show up to a party with whiskey or beer.
terms such as “marijuana”.
Is there another reason hiding in plain site as to why this industry will continue to be an ROI leader other than being at the forefront of a paradigm shift towards real health and wellness through reducing and possibly eliminating endocannabinoid deficiency and transitioning from pharmaceuticals such as opioids and transitioning from alcohol to cannabis? As you know, and as a precursor to what may be hiding in plain site, I also warn you to watch out for overly optimistic and promotional pieces on cannabis; however, they are less harmful to an investor than falling for the hucksters running their stock campaigns and boiler rooms looking for you to be the last food standing. So with that, the popular series titled The Sacred Plant may be worth a look at – but keep in mind this is not an endorsement of its content. In that series (I believe in episode 1 of 7 of season 2) there is an overlay of the Acupuncture pressure point infographic of the human body on to an infographic of a human body’s CB1 and CB2 receptors - and they line up. Acupuncture is thousands of years old whereas the discovery of these CB receptors was in the 1980’s.
We also have known for quite some time that Tylenol works. It does. The odd thing is that for so long it was not conclusive as to why or how. Odd?
We also know that there are many alleged adverse side effects that may potentially arise from using Tylenol. In 2014, the answer became known and appears in the published document Tylenol’s Analgesic Effect is Mediated By Cannabinoid Receptors.
Yes, Tylenol works in part because of how it works through the CB1 receptor. For those wanting a more scientific publication on this then this nih published document titled Acetaminophen Relieves Inflammatory Pain through CB1 Cannabinoid Receptors in the Rostral Ventromedial Medulla may be for you.
There are also other interesting tidbits of information contained with Season 2 of The Sacred Plant – all of which you may have already known such as why the US Government rescheduled Cannabis to Schedule 1 where all drugs within that schedule are said to have no therapeutic benefit yet the US government subsequently registered and received patent US6630507B1 titled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants” and containing the following in its abstract:
