tabletson Hemp ban hidden inside government shutdown bill

In my experience it is also the other things in there which helps with the pain relief. Doctors in my country talk about the entourage effect and mixing strains as they reckon it's not just the THC which is helping.

I can imagine people in the future looking at us like idiots as they use cannabinoids in the same way we use paracetamol.

From personal experience suffering from chronic pain cannabis is absolutely transformative. The difference between a life spiralling to nothing just about surviving on opioids compared to effective pain relief from cannabis and being able to work and be productive again.

One of the tragedies of the 20th and hopefully not the 21st century. So many people in so much unnecessary pain.

tabletson Kagi – Paid Search Engine

I've been using kagi as a paid customer since August 2022. My experience is that for programming related tasks it is much faster to find a useful answer/discussion/site. The most compelling experience I've had with it was during a road trip across Europe. Using the country selector allowed me to find succinct search results for signs, shops and regional attractions. The few times I did comparison searches using google.co.* search the results were more confusing than the kagi results.
