🧐 Spot the Spin: Why Isolating Cannabis Stats Is Misleading

We need your help to educate your loved ones, neighbors and friends!!! After the H**P ban - it’s quite clear that this is going to be an outrageous year of misleading information, driven by Big Alcohol interests.

We've all seen headlines like: "3 in 10 ma*****na users develop Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD)." Like the attached from LEX 18 (owned by EW Scripps Company).

On its own, this statistic is framed to sound an alarm. However, presenting it without context is a classic propaganda technique. It highlights a problem with one substance while ignoring the fact that similar, or even more severe, problems exist with other legal substances…. Namely ALCOHOL!!!

Let's use scientific data to add the crucial context and get a clearer picture.

📊 The Missing Comparison: What About Alcohol?

The "3 in 10" figure for cannabis is often sourced from studies of past-year users. When we apply the same rigorous lens to alcohol, the data reveals a significant story.

A major study published in 2024, analyzing data from 2002 to 2019, found that while a high percentage of cannabis users develop a disorder, the total number of people with an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is far greater.

To put it in comparable terms:
🥬 Cannabis: Approximately 30% (or 3 in 10) of past-year users may develop a use disorder. In total numbers, this affects an estimated 14.2 million people in the U.S. .

🍺 Alcohol: A lower percentage of past-year drinkers (around 13-15%) develop a disorder, but because so many more people drink, the total number is staggering. Alcohol Use Disorder affects approximately 29.5 million people in the U.S.—more than double the number affected by CUD!!

This doesn't mean cannabis is "risk-free," but it shows that the scale of the public health challenge related to alcohol is substantially larger.

💊 The Self-Medication Dilemma: What Happens Without Cannabis?

A key argument for the availability of cannabis is its role as a substitute for more harmful substances, particularly for people self-medicating conditions like chronic pain. Removing this option can, for some, lead to worse outcomes.

Plenty of scientific evidence confirms that many people use substances to manage pain:

· A 2016 study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found that 87% of primary care patients who screened positive for illicit drug use or prescription drug misuse suffered from chronic pain. Among them, 51% of those using illegal drugs and 81% of those misusing prescription drugs reported they were doing so specifically to treat their pain.

· This research concludes that counseling focused solely on the negative consequences of drug use is ineffective if it fails to address the underlying pain driving the behavior .
Emerging evidence points to cannabis as a potential substitute for alcohol.

· A 2021 feasibility study on Managed Alcohol Programs in Canada found that 63% of participants were already using cannabis to substitute for alcohol, primarily to manage alcohol cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

· The study's authors note that "the scale of harms [associated with cannabis] is substantially lower than for alcohol," and highlight cannabis's potential to reduce cravings and even mitigate the inflammatory and liver harms caused by alcohol. Note that cannabis doesn’t have those type of harms.

🔬 The Bottom Line: Context is Everything

Propaganda works by stripping away context. When you see a scary statistic about cannabis:

1. Always Ask for the Comparison: How does this problem compare to the same problem with alcohol or other legal substances? The data shows alcohol dependency is a larger public health issue by sheer scale.

2. Consider the Alternatives: For people suffering from chronic pain and other debilitating conditions, the absence of cannabis may not mean abstinence from all substances—it can mean a return to or increased reliance on alcohol or misused prescription drugs, which often carry a higher risk profile .

By focusing on the full picture, we can move beyond sensationalist headlines and have a more honest, data-driven conversation about substance use and public health.

So what about these “substance use disorders”??? How do they qualify that?

Stay tuned - more to come. Help get the word out friends - Big Alcohol is trying to put us in a corner and obliterate this ancient, medicinal plant - all so they can ensure the next generation will drink bourbon and have no where to turn …

🤯 Did You Know Your Body Makes Its Own "Bliss Molecules"? 🤯

Ever wonder why sometimes you feel a natural sense of peace, or that runner's high? Believe it or not, your body has its own internal wellness system that’s constantly working to keep you balanced, happy, and thriving!

It's called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), and it produces its very own cannabinoids! Meet the stars of the show:

✨ Anandamide: Often called the "bliss molecule" (because "Ananda" literally means bliss in Sanskrit!). It plays a key role in mood, happiness, and even pain modulation.

✨ 2-AG: Another crucial internal compound, working alongside anandamide to regulate everything from sleep and appetite to immune function.

Think of your ECS as your body's personal conductor, always trying to bring all your systems into harmony.

When you supplement with h**p-derived CBD and other cannabinoids, you're essentially giving your body a little extra support to keep those "bliss molecules" flowing and maintain that beautiful balance.

It's natural. It's built-in. And it's truly amazing!

Ready to give your body's bliss system a boost? Come talk to our experts in Danville or Nicholasville!

Bottom line, we either beg for more regulations and higher taxes OR we DECRIMINALIZE BY CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT so government can never restrict our cannabis again...
What's YOUR move?

The Democratic governor of Kentucky says the h**p industry is an “important” part of the economy that deserves to be regulated at the state level—rather than federally prohibited, as Congress has moved to do under a spending bill President Donald Trump signed on Wednesday. During a press brief...

We’ve been crushed by the alcohol lobby and our very own Senator. B-E-T-R-A-Y-A-L

HELP!!!!

🚨 H**P EMERGENCY: ACT NOW 🚨
The Senate just voted 60–40 to pass the government funding bill with devastating h**p restrictions buried inside, including language that would effectively ban 95% of h**p-derived products, from Dee-8 to full-spectrum CBD oils and topicals.

💥 But here’s the good news: it’s NOT law yet.
The bill still has to pass the House of Representatives, and this is where your voice matters most.
Now is the moment for every farmer, business owner, and consumer to speak up.

What you can do:
📩 Email your representative right now! Here is a pre-filled form which you can submit to automatically email your rep: https://f.mtr.cool/jdkfripbpe
📞 Call your U.S. House Representative TODAY and tell them to VOTE NO on any bill containing these h**p-killing restrictions. Not sure what to say? We've got a script in the comments you can use.
👉 Find Your Representative Here: https://f.mtr.cool/hhryzexyfl
📣 Email the members of the House Rules Committee! Share a personal story with them about how CBD has helped you. List of the email addresses and a sample script will be in the comments below!

The McConnell–Harris h**p restrictions would:
🔹 Redefine h**p to ban most legal h**p-derived products, even topicals and CBD beverages
🔹 Destroy a $70 billion industry and hundreds of thousands of American jobs
🔹 Ignore the 72% of voters who support regulation, not prohibition
🔹 Even contradict President Trump’s own stance, he’s publicly supported h**p-derived CBD

This isn’t about safety. Our industry has repeatedly supported age limits, testing, child-safe packaging, and labeling. The Senate rejected those solutions and chose prohibition instead.

🔥 This is not over. But we must act NOW.
Speaker Johnson has told House members to return to DC, and the vote could happen within days.
The h**p community is strong, united, and loud. Let’s make sure Congress knows that we will not stand by while they try to erase h**p again.
🌿 Call. Email. Share. Speak up.
Together, we can still stop this.
