THE WEEK IN REVIEW:
This week we have a pretty even mix of both cannabis and psychedelics news. Among this stories, we have one explaining the DEA’s clarification on Illegal Synthetics. We’re also covering a recent ban on cannabis themed music and media in the Dominican Republic, a federal judge’s rule on cannabis and guns in Oklahoma, new Amanita mushroom products in hemp cup and so much more!
Illegal Synthetics:
Illegal Synthetics: DEA Reiterates That Synthetic Cannabinoids Are Illegal
This debate has been raging on for years- are synthetic “hemp-derived” cannabinoids federally legal or not? Some claim vehemently that they are, while others remain skeptical. However, a recent statement from the FDA offers us some clarity, claiming that synthetic cannabinoids are in fact, illegal, even if they are hemp-derived.
Amanita Mushroom Products at 2023 High Times Hemp Cup Kits
The 2023 High Times Hemp Cup is introducing a new product to the competition – Amanita Hemp Cup products that contain muscimol from Amanita muscaria mushrooms, combined with popular cannabinoids. The Amanita Hemp Cup products include gummies and pre-rolled joints containing muscimol combined with HHC, Delta 8 THC, and CBD.
Dominican Republic Banned Cannabis Themed Music & Media
While most of the cannabis-related news stories these days show different regions relaxing regulations against the plant, some places, are heading steadfast in the opposite direction. Take the Dominican Republic, for instance. Not only are they not even considering any type of cannabis legislation, they actually took things a step further and banned cannabis themed music and media.
Uruguay Working Toward Cannabis Tourist Industry to Fight Black Market
Although it often flies under the radar in many discussions on the subject, Uruguay is the world’s oldest, legal recreational cannabis market. If we follow what happens there, it can give us a good indication of what may transpire in other legal markets throughout the world. Currently, Uruguay is working on bolstering the cannabis tourism industry in order to thwart the still-thriving black market.

Trainspotting forced its way into many viewer’s ‘best films of all time’ list and rightfully so. But why did a movie about a group of Scottish friends dealing with drug and life issues become such a cult classic? Perhaps, simply, because told the sad truth about opioid addiction.

The weekend is for fun, so here are some affordable cocktails to kick back and relax
There has been a buzz about tariffs and the global stock markets are quaking. But most don’t realize at the end of hte day, as people settle down, their favorite cocktails will be hit. Foreign alcohol is significantly impacted by tariffs imposed by the current adminstartion. These tariffs include a 25% levy on all beer imports, additional tariffs on aluminum used in beer cans, and varying tariffs on wines and spirits from different regions. Popular brands such as Guinness stout (produced by Diageo), Italian Campari liqueur, and imported beers like Corona and Heineken are directly affected. Tequila has been on the list, but currently has escaped. To help the wallet and the throat, here are the best tariff friendly cocktails.

Even a planned sacrifice can use a little help, here is how marijuana can help you during Lent
Today is Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. This time is observed in many Christian traditions, including Catholic, Lutheran, Moravian, Anglican, United Protestant, and Orthodox. It is usually a 40-day period, which echoes the time Jesus spent fasting in the desert. The time is thought to symbolize testing, trial, and renewal. In addition to donating time, talent and treasure along with self reflection, the true believer believes you should give us something you love. For some it is wine or alcohol, for others it could be more.Here is how cannabis can help you during Lent.
RELAETD: Is GERD Helped By Cannabis
Cannabis use during Lent, a traditional Christian period of fasting and spiritual reflection, is a complex and controversial topic requiring careful consideration. While some may view cannabis as incompatible with Lenten practices, others argue it can potentially aid in spiritual growth and personal reflection when used mindfully. Done correctly, it can help you reach your goals.
Studies suggest cannabis can be used as a replacement for alcohol and can improve overall health. It offers a range of benefits for those seeking to reduce or eliminate their alcohol consumption. CBD and THC drops are becoming popular substitutes, providing natural relaxation without the negative side effects associated with drinking. Unlike alcohol, which can lead to dehydration, impaired judgment, and potential long-term health risks, cannabis promotes relaxation and improved sleep quality without causing hangovers.
Studies suggest cannabis may help individuals maintain alcohol abstinence, with some patients reporting it as an effective substitute. The trend of replacing alcohol with cannabis is growing, with daily cannabis use surpassing daily alcohol use in the United States for the first time. Cannabis-infused beverages are also on the rise, offering a diverse range of options for those looking to socialize without alcohol.
In addition, many adherents of Lent are older, and a key benefit of cannabis is relief. For those dealing with chronic pain or anxiety, cannabis may offer relief without breaking Lenten commitments to abstain from other substances. Medical marijuana users have reported significant improvements in quality of life, pain levels, and overall functioning. This could allow individuals to focus more deeply on their spiritual practices without being hindered by physical discomfort.
Part of the sacrifice is to reflect on the spiritual journey. Cannabis can promote introspection and heightened awareness, which aligns with Lenten goals of self-examination and spiritual growth. However, it’s crucial to approach this mindfully and avoid using cannabis as an escape or distraction from the purpose of Lent.
