after MKUltra and COINTELPRO and Salvador Allende and who knows how much other crap our intelligence agencies have pulled …
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’.”
—Isaac Asimov, “A Cult of Ignorance”, Newsweek (1980-01-21)
It’s bizarrely complicated in the way that lemmy handles it
D gets to look over the fence and see how much fun A and B are having without them and regrets their antipasto attitude?
yeah, I don’t know – personally think a ostracism metaphor would be a better match for federation – once A defederates from D, not only do they block anything incoming from D but they also don’t send anything out to D – D has to patch together posts from thirdhand federations …
heads up, there’s a reason I labeled them “stories” (certainly not something you can confirm through the church) – most of the stories come up as “secret knowledge” within the various esoteric/hermetic/gnostic sects and usually make reference to the Gospel of Mary Magdalene
- possibilities include
- most likely, Gospel of Mary, part of the Berlin Codex – somewhere between 100 and 150 CE maybe
- less likely, Dialogue of the Saviour, part of the Nag Hammadi library – maybe 150 CE
- two main councils for determining the New Testament (and remember they didn’t have carbon dating to determine authenticity)
- 393 CE – Synod of Hippo
- 397 CE – Synod of Carthage
- we do know
- the 12 disciples were sexist
- Mary Magdalene was a single noble lady – a perfect target for misogynistic slander painting her as a prostitute
- most people (depending on tolerance) don’t notice much psychoactive effect from THC below ~5mg
- from Wikipedia, it looks like in Germany you have to get a medical pass to get access to whole cannabis or THC
- you will get a similar reaction from doctors in the US
- in the US, doctors are licensed at the federal level, cannabis is legalized at the state level – doctors risk their license even talking about cannabis regardless of its legality in the state they operate in – no trained professional is going to risk their livelihood
- most of the world is still victim of the US’s “reefer madness” propaganda campaign (thanks to Nixon and his “War on Drugs”) and it still bears the stigma of “the devil’s weed” – so, unless you find someone knowledgeable, you can expect the attitude of “asking for a roofie” to be the standard response
proviso: I am not medically trained and most of what I’ve picked up has been informally through the American cannabis communities and legalization efforts
and options for dealing with pain in the US are a hot topic item – you need a medical professional that is knowledgeable about ALL the options but doctors get their licensing at the federal level, not the state level, so they risk their license to even talk about cannabis
from what I’ve stumbled across, opioids work better on acute pain (ex. fractures) and cannabinoids work better on chronic pain (ex. fibromyalgia, stress) – ie. cannabis will help with aches and tension, allowing you to get a night’s sleep – but for direct pain from the fracture, you might be stuck with NSAIDs which have their own slew of issues
I know almost nothing about the other pain systems, but Wikipedia generally has some good starting points
- cannabinoid
- “Before the 1980s, cannabinoids were speculated to produce their physiological and behavioral effects via nonspecific interaction with cell membranes, instead of interacting with specific membrane-bound receptors. The discovery of the first cannabinoid receptors in the 1980s helped to resolve this debate. These receptors are common in animals. Two known cannabinoid receptors are termed CB1 and CB2, with mounting evidence of more. The human brain has more cannabinoid receptors than any other G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) type.”
- endocannabinoid system
- “The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) regulates many functions of the human body. The ECS plays an important role in multiple aspects of neural functions, including the control of movement and motor coordination, learning and memory, emotion and motivation, addictive-like behavior and pain modulation, among others.”
- CB1 receptor
- CB2 receptor
the problem is the legality of other cannibinoids where you live …
- from the states in the US where cannabis has been legalized – neither CBD nor THC will show their full effects in isolation, they each help to augment the other – so even something like a tiny amount of THC added to CBD (ex. 20:1 CBD to THC) will drastically enhance the CBD effects
- there are two primary (and a lot of secondary) pain systems within the body – one of them responds better to opioids, the other responds better to
cannibinoidscannabinoids – everyone’s different and responds differently so it requires a knowledgeable medical professional who hasn’t bought into US’s “reefer madness” propaganda that’s been foisted off onto the rest of the world
Americans worship Supply Side Jesus
but then there’s also plenty of arguments that most Christians worldwide worship the Church not Jesus
