Research

Research Generally

Ok. What is it? Basically, you ask a question common in many minds and discover the answer beyond doubt through research. If you wanted to know the frequency of the local bus transit route to determine if it keeps a regular clock work schedule down to the millisecond for one example, you would have to do research with perhaps some equipment to monitor all hours it operates in all weather, at the stop outside your window if it exists or another you can monitor 27/7/365 at bus times. I would say that over a year, you would get a pretty specific result. That answer became no, it has some flexibility at arrival times per stop. It often adjusts time along the way so they don’t arrive too early at stops found ahead between the transfer stations at a specific clock work schedule for departure. All times listed are departures from stops and stations. I forgot to mention this study also involved riding many individual runs from a transfer station back to the same transfer station and timing the stops and time at. There are also speed calculations etc, breakdowns, sudden trip emergencies, they cater to public transit where anything can and usually happen tragically so often. This is a type of Citizen Study someone like me would undertake. It could be anything. It could be you ‘Studying’. You could study your life condition from any angle you question, even as far as your medical life. It’s basically the same as studying your boss’s schedule or the bus. A question you have needed an answer. If you use a scientifically proven and creditable checkable and verifiable method of answering, you become a Citizen Scientist

My latest research, in case you didn’t guess it already…

Cannabis has been a lifelong study of misinformation sounding truths, and law-abiding Reefer Madness encouraged in many of the societies’ influences. Now more recently since about 2005 with Medical because of MS and Recreational since legalization, it kind of took new angles. I was growing up around it and a Reefer Madness infected father, towards the very end of the 1970s in a small Northen British Columbia Town. I had my first puff there, behind the pool room as an early teen. According to one thought I’ve had on it, that’s where my ‘Weeducation’ began. My ‘discussions’ with my father on the subject met animosity fast, so I became a rebel without a clue for a lot of years, discretion saved lots of arguments. Tobacco was OK past 16 though, dad allowed that after ignoring it since I was 5. I ended that ‘study’ at 39.

A sea of results

Cannabis is a diverse study. It has many results, no end. The biggest thing I discovered about Cannabis and its effects on my body was that we contain a very important system in our body called an Endocannabinoid System. It’s this system recently discovered in almost all animals that control so much in bodies from the spark of life to its end and cannabis affects it positively. Yea dad, smoking the Marijuana did way more than not kill me. It ended the tobacco addiction in my body that was killing me 39 years after, actually longer. You and mom smoked tobacco when I was born 56 years ago as I type all MS’ed up now enjoying life as best I can. More than a huff and puff puts smiles on my face, I am free of Tobacco. It caused the Multiple Sclerosis and mental health challenges; That I figure resulted from the Tobacco and Alcohol studies I did with negative results that ended before my 40s.

Public Recreational Medicinal Cannabis

Public sales.  What’s the difference?

Since public sales started selling in 2018 in Canada, many regarding Medicinal and Recreational Cannabis have asked this question. Canadians above a certain age were suddenly allowed with various restrictions, with no medical restriction or reason needed. People as a collective play with pharmaceutical-grade drugs, some facing addictions with deadly consequences for nations.  It does not only affect addicts. Pharmaceuticals sometimes kill simply by using as directed. Canada was overly cautious about Refer Madness infused Cannabis. It has undergone many changes and laws since that day, thanks in part to being spearheaded by Canada’s former ‘RCMP Drug Task Force‘ heads. They and their staff were also called the Gestapo by many Canadians puffing and growing the weed through prohibition. It funded the force promoting Refer Madness. That affected society at large, thanks largely to educating youth about fears about Cannabis among other not-so-natural drugs. Those are now killing young adults today with programs like DARE, and adult programs like MADD, which focused on Cannabis above other drugs when driving and promoting it as a ‘starter drug‘. It’s not, according to studies in legal areas and in Canada. Here, apparently, it harms young minds.

Medical beginnings to legalization and sales

Prior to 2018, medicinal allowances were confusing. Legal for very few since the mid-1970s at least, and had exploded to many patients by 2009 for many people with diverse life and medical experiences in Canada. Strata’s and other multi-family dwellings tried to ban Cannabis consumption inside and were often ‘successful by society restrictions’ (IE; tobacco-consuming neighbours complaining about ‘Marijuana’ smoke) banning Cannabis above any smoking laws in public or rented areas inside prior to legalization. In years before legalization, many patients had to provide the Doctor’s actual prescription for proof of need. Civic properties outside like parks and courtyards post-legalization imposed complete smoking bans, and prior to legalization had the law backing them with draconian actions when enforced and allowed tobacco only. Any law does not restrict true medicine when prescribed by forward-thinking medical professionals. Above that, all use is somehow medicinal in more than my thoughts. For a short time after legalisation and long before that, a patient could authorize a grower to supply their daily amount locally.  Some patients could even grow their own according to their daily limit.  Since then, the patients have to go through a registered Licenced Producer or their personal LP became the foundation for the only legal way to obtain Medical Cannabis. That same product from those LPs filled the shelves for recreational public sales after 2018. More on that next para. I saw that patient medicine was reduced from the federal supply, well at first. There is a form on Health Canada’s website which is the official medical document authorizing the use of cannabis for medical purposes. It’s recognized Canada-wide and another form is needed to authorize growing. Someone may only submit once the property is properly prepared with security through environmental design in mind, focused on refer madness thoughts of high-profile crime attractants. Long-term patients still have designated growers locked in thanks to an Injunction made by Cannabis Lawyer John Conroy before 2010. The growers became federal Licenced Producers if they qualified.

One source for all legal Cannabis, Medical and Recreational

With Legalization, you are allowed to grow 4 cannabis plants per household, but they must not be visible to anyone public, particularly those under the legal age of the province. Canada has a set of laws, provinces handle Cannabis laws provincially and local communities have their own regulations concerning sales and use. Legalization became Prohibition 2.0. Some Strata, other multi-family dwellings and individual rented living spaces can outright ban growing even one plant, even as a regular attractive house plant. Only plants that grow is grown from ‘starter material’ (IE seeds and clones) must be from a licenced producer whose starter material was from the same national stockpile of starter material. I think it’s the final version of that medical form, imho strictly used for research with controlled subjects from a controlled supply. There is a larger ‘weeducation’ research project using the public with recreational cannabis in the wild to which the conclusion might be proven ‘all use is medicinal‘. They halted efforts to research its effects on the Opium epidemic in the East Vancouver Community Safety Unit AKA ‘the Gestapo‘ and other branches in the 2 police forces (City Police and RCMP) of Vancouver.

Beyond Recreational and Medicinal

In previous posts, I covered some of the industrial benefits. Housing, food, vehicles, and fuel, replacing our demand for forests. That’s just a start, a way we can make more products. The food and shelter forms of it will increase health. Recreational may just provide a defence against the need to use it medicinally. With society’s health, we can be more productive in many areas beyond the Cannabis field.

Cannabis Potential part 3 A

Where do we grow all this Cannabis?  Part ‘A’

If you need to start at the first post in this series, that is here. This is part A of Where to Grow, Explaining “Feral Cannabis” which is beyond first generation growth and appears to be ‘naturally seeded’ by animal and bird droppings. Usually when I start a conversation about Cannabis and promote my vast awareness of the plant with my limited understanding someone askes about land needed.  Most of my prior knowledge I learned from listening to the stories of weeducated individuals in all sorts of worlds during the last of the illegal years from about 1977 in a Northern British Columbia small town, then researching truths online after 2005. The community I grew up in was rumoured to have supplied the Cannabis to Prince George and points east, west, north and south of the hub city during many Prohibition years ending in 2018 in Canada.  In return, before the hype of today with the opiate problem, Cannabis was often traded for cocaine and heroin and they said it layered the community a foot thick with those drugs. It has grown up since then, but I feel it created the problems today, entirely created by an insane law that lumped Cannabis worse than those 2 drugs. But that’s so far from the question I added it to show the background as I listened to many stories that were proven as fact as I became as weeducated with no growing experiences. I’ll break this into 2 parts so you see my reasoning of where to grow and how it adds, not takes away from, existing biomass by filling a niche in agriculture today.

Cannabis in the wild

Early settlers of North America first settled here because the land was prime to grow cannabis for the homeland and their own needs as they settled. The land was hard to secure and grow cannabis in the ‘Homeland’ due to conflicts changing borders and taking prime farmland during times of conquest. In the decades before the ‘European invasion’ created the United States, the new nation used Cannabis in part to break free from Europe and become independent. They used the plant diversely, and it needed very little human intervention while growing, allowing settlers to shape the country. Cannabis’s end product of Hemp was needed for war efforts at home, and supplied materials like rope and sails needed to explore, food and materials for settlements among all the other resources the new land offered. Most of that early cannabis escaped the plantations, which were often abandoned and forgotten as generations progressed. Speed further from 1899 to well after 2000 in North America, law enforcers took care of ‘ditch’ or wild Cannabis with prejudice where and when they noticed it.

It still grows all over the globe, including North America. Unseen in a ditch, spread free and proud, perhaps on a remote mountainside or sheltered in an unseen valley, it grows. Studies show the Feral Cannabis to be very low quality and could be an industrial class for at least the seeds, much more with awareness. Seed-eating small animals sit around the bottom of the food chain and birds love Cannabis seed in their diet. So do larger creatures who eat vegetation and those also eat those creatures. Cannabis Seed survives the digestive tract and is deposited in a smelly pile of nutritious fresh fertiliser, even when going through the predator as a second digestive tract. They found the plant most often in areas of disturbed and compacted soils like ditches and industrial lands abandoned, perhaps deposited by a rodent or bird chasing a rodent, perhaps by both while and after consumption of the smaller prey. Where Feral Cannabis grew, it tolerated other species native to the environment and appeared to improve the soil and enhance surrounding biodiversity.  Refer Madness calls it invasive.  In the wild it exists peacefully coexisting naturally globally, flourishing strong without any human intervention.  Including in North America where Refer Madness laws call it a ‘Noxious Weed’, but not officially as the Google keyword used on Google brought up all sorts of government websites and info suggesting noxious weed info links, but no mention of Ferial or wild Cannabis, Hemp at their websites on the subject. Stay tuned for part ‘B’ in about an hour!

Food services in Canada

Meals

There are food services actually “Meal Kit Food Delivery” services that save you time from meal planning, targeted for the busy person perhaps with a family, with perhaps more than one mouth to feed.  Different services from raw ingredients with recipes to match, some provincial here in Canada to home delivery within an hour from local diners and grocery stores c/w alcohol and I hope in some near, almost predictable future, ‘Cannafood‘.

Here in Canada, if one went out for Cannafood, they would have to walk home or hire a cab.  Driving while under the influence of Cannabis or ‘Drugged Driving‘ is illegal.  It is odd that the law enforcement of North America considers Cannabis a drug in the same or worse category than Cocaine or Heroin, particularly with driving, but times are changing with what I call #Weeducation.  Nothing like home made though, while you wait for delivery.  In some areas, raw and concentrated Cannabis could be delivered too, locally and discreetly, perhaps not legally but fresher and more affordable.  Stay tuned for the future!

Canada wide delivery

There is a particular service I used for a few months.  GoodFood I can truly rate.  Their food arrives fresh on Dry Ice, the recipes are easy to follow and depending on basic skill level always comes out perfect.  They have a multitude of dinner meals, lunch brunch and breakfast beverages and meals including vegan/vegetarianism options to choose from.  It’s a good idea to know your protein substitutes as a vegan vegetarian diet is lacking as a major source of that overall, GoodFood has that info too as they appear to care about you.  They are just one federal service though.

Another one that I am not familiar with I first saw on Facebook was “Hello Fresh“.  They offer the same services as GoodFood above, likely with different meal choices.  I would expect that most of them offer about the same service with their own diverse menus, but some are based within the province and imho better as the food does not travel as far from farm to table.  That has to be a consideration in this age of Environmental awareness as ‘Local’ is best, and Provincial is second.  Nation should be the last choice although some international foods are good as they have unique tastes.  Never get international food as a ‘Meal Kit’ unless it’s prepared fresh, flash frozen raw, cold transported and your tastes demand it.  There are stores and diners likely local to you with the flavours you desire, perhaps deliver, and as above homemade is always best.

BC Provincial

It seems in the city of Vancouver, BC there are local BC Wide Meal Delivery Kits, a new one opened up delivering to Canada beginning here in BC.  Many Vancouver diners, grocery stores, and farmers markets appear to be listed to send meal kits to customers perhaps across our province.  Check the websites linked to those places in the above link for more info.  Google or use your favorite search engine the keywords “Provincial Meal Kits” for your province to see if you have any choices.  In grocery stores, you may have other shops that deliver, but many “Save On Foods” have a delivery service available, most have park and shop online shopping too, select your groceries online through the app or website and select a time to park and wait for them to be brought to your vehicle

Local

Well, Local I will limit to Delivery services from Diners you might or might not have in your community, I am sure you know the minor strictly local Dial a Bottle company delivering anywhere in Canada sometimes with more than just alcohol via deliveryservices listed below, or even your buddy Ralph who charges a gas fee and the local Booze Can epense after hours… Here in Canada, we have services such as “Uber Eats” where they operate, as Skip the Dishes operates in more communities sometimes delivering groceries through phone and computer apps like Instacart.  Pizza Hut finally got delivery in my town likely had it in yours from long ago.  Pizza places of course you have your local shops delivering in all communities perhaps as well as the big name ones like “Little Caesars“, “Dominos Delivery (avoid the ‘noid, order tonight) and others in a chain across the nation
