❌ "Governor @GovernorVA @SpanbergerForVA's veto is a profound disappointment to the many Virginia voters who believed her when she said on the campaign trail that she supported establishing a regulated adult-use cannabis market. It is also a slap in the face to the years of serious work undertaken by lawmakers, policy experts, advocates, public health stakeholders, and regulators who spent more than half a decade researching, debating, and carefully crafting this legislation." 🔗Read more: norml.org/blog/2026/05/19/vi…

EXCLUSIVE: Canada Pauses Deportation of Trucker Jaskirat Sidhu, Who Killed 16 and Injured 13 Chris Joseph, father of Jaxon Joseph, whose life was lost along with 15 others in the Humboldt Broncos tragedy, says he will not stop his quest for justice and his fight to have the man responsible for the tragedy deported back to India, which was part of his sentence. “I honestly do feel like my son Jaxon would be right behind me saying, ‘Go get him, Dad,’” Joseph says, promising he will not stop until Jaskirat Sidhu is deported, after a federal court paused the deportation at the eleventh hour, when Sidhu was scheduled to be deported the next business day. “Being deported back to India, although not anybody’s favourite choice, is not a death sentence,” Joseph, the former NHL hockey player, says. “What we have is a death sentence,” he adds, pointing out that the last time he ran his fingers through his son’s hair was in a morgue. Joseph says Sidhu was ordered deported by everyone: the judge, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the Court of Appeal, and the CBSA, yet he is still fighting on humanitarian grounds to avoid being separated from his family in Canada. “His family can go to India with him. If my wife or I were deported, we’d be at each other’s side,” Joseph says, adding that forgiveness is irrelevant. “Deportation was part of his sentence. Forgiveness doesn’t mean he gets to be more special than any other criminal,” he says, emphasizing that people are deported every day for much less.

Obama and Biden could have done it, but didn't. President Donald Trump has rescheduled cannabis and here is why that is a good thing for America #420 stonezone.com/the-great-cann…

Canadians bought more cannabis, less alcohol in January theglobeandmail.com/business…

“In Canada, now you guys have legal marijuana too. Which they should have in America. It's so ridiculous. They just recently decided to make it schedule 3. It's legal in a lot of states, but it's still not legal federally. It's goofy. If alcohol is legal, marijuana is far safer. It should be legal. It's ridiculous. It's also a personal freedom thing. Leave people alone. No one's robbing banks, smoking weed, fucking killing neighbors. It's crazy. It's not heroin. It's not opiates. Maybe you shouldn't do it if you have mental health problems. But there's a lot of people that just take a pot gummy and go to bed and it makes them sleep better. Leave them alone. Leave people alone. Let people have a glass of whiskey. Let people have a glass of wine with dinner. Leave them alone.” JRE 2470 with @PierrePoilievre @joerogan @joeroganhq @MikeTyson @KushDesai47

CANNABIS KILLS OVARIAN CANCER CELLS Big Pharma might not like this one. In a new lab study, scientists found that a 1:1 combo of THC and CBD - the two main compounds in cannabis - wiped out ovarian cancer cells without harming healthy ones. The study tested both chemo-sensitive and chemo-resistant cancer cells. On their own, THC and CBD slowed growth. But together, they were lethal to cancer. The weed duo also shut down a key cancer survival pathway (PI3K/AKT/mTOR), which helps tumors grow and resist treatment. Most ovarian cancer is caught late and comes back after treatment. The current drugs are brutal. This combo showed minimal toxicity - meaning fewer side effects, less suffering. But don’t spark up just yet - all testing was done in petri dishes, not in humans. Researchers say much more work is needed before clinical trials. Still, it’s a big green flag. Nature’s most controversial plant may be packing serious firepower against one of the deadliest women’s cancers. Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology
