Each year, when Foxgloves come out, it reminds me of the silliness of referring to cannabinoid based products as "medical cannabis".

Foxglove is parent plant to digoxin, and a class of cardiac medications. These are not, & should not, be referred to as "medical foxglove".

If you are truly trauma aware,informed,sensitive and responsive,you should understand the role of attachment,the nervous system & brain development. That symptoms are adaptations from growing up in an abnormal harsh psychological environment that you had to adapt to survive🧠🌱

“Trends like Legging Legs, which promote things like thigh gaps, are dangerous and harmful, especially to youngsters who naively interpret the often unrealistic goals as something they ‘need’ to pursue”

This is a great short video explaining the alcohol industry and alcohol funded charity messaging to "drink responsibly" and how it is used to deflect from the industry causing the problems

How does cannabis use affect school, work, and social life?

"Research has shown that marijuana’s negative effects on attention, memory, and learning can last for days or weeks after the acute effects of the drug wear off"
