Gut bacteria spotted eating brain chemicals for the first time Got GABA?Custom Medical Stock Photo/SPL By Andy Coghlan Bacteria have been discovered in our guts that depend on one of our brain chemicals for survival.

22 Feb 2016 https://www.dinafem.org/en/blog/trainerbees-beekeeper-honey-cannabis/ It is an interesting story. He then sells their honey as what else but ... cannahoney.

When back at the hive they clean the sticky resin off and then find use for it as glue or varnish on the honeycomb cells. Either way, it's a neat trick that this apiarist seems to be capitalising on. Inevitably, the resin imparts a distinctive piquance to the honey that has been stored in that comb.

Arizona: Prison Meal Service Donates $80,000 to Anti-Marijuana CampaignCompany is likely concerned legal marijuana will eat into profits. The campaign aimed at preventing marijuana from being legalized this year in Arizona just received a super sleazy donation from a company that makes its living selling meals to prisons. Campaign finance records show that Services Group of America, one of the largest food service companies in the United States, recently contributed $80,000 to the weasels working to maintain the prohibitionary standard in the Copper State. The documents, which were initially dug up by Tom Angell over at Marijuana.com, suggest the company could be conc…
