Like several Western countries, the United States has been caught up in a wave of cannabis reform that has seen dozens of states legalize either recreational or medical cannabis use among their residents. But with millions of Americans now gaining access to legal cannabis, some cannabis reform opponents have argued that cannabis consumption is a dangerous activity that can open users to other substances.
Cannabis has been compared to tobacco cigarettes, which are also smoked and are known to cause a multitude of health issues. However, a recent study by University of California researchers has revealed that marijuana smoking does not present the same risks as tobacco smoking.
In a recent study, the researchers compared current cannabis users, people who have used cannabis in the past, and those who have never used cannabis to determine if they experienced any health issues similar to cigarette smokers. After more than four years of comparison and research, the team found that past and present cannabis consumption “of any lifetime amount” had no association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development or progression.
The team published its findings in the journal “Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases.”
The findings were celebrated by numerous cannabis advocates who said that the results were in line with past studies, which had concluded that smoking cannabis over the long term was not associated with irreversible airway damage, lung cancer or COPD. A large-scale national study carried out by the University of Central Florida in 2012 also found that “low to moderate” cannabis use presented fewer health risks to users compared to tobacco.
In another study from 2006, researchers interviewed an estimated 2,000 patients with and without cancer and found that while smoking tobacco increased the risk of developing cancer, cannabis didn’t seem to present the same risk even in lifetime users. National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) Deputy Director Paul Armentano said that the findings were “reassuring to cannabis consumers and health professionals alike.” Furthermore, he said that they would help to inform future evidenced-based cannabis policies and public health messaging.
In all cases, researchers have been unable to determine why cannabis doesn’t increase the risk of lung cancer or pulmonary diseases despite producing carcinogens and tar when burned.
The UCLA researchers concluded that more research is needed to understand the long-term effects of smoking marijuana, especially in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.
The UCLA study goes a long way to dispel the claims by prohibitionists regarding the effects of smoking marijuana. As the truth becomes more clear, the market for marijuana is likely to grow, and its economic benefits could spread to ancillary entities such Advanced Container Technologies Inc. (OTC: ACTX), whose purpose is to meet the needs of the companies which deal directly with the cannabis plant.

Canada’s cannabis industry sees a continued increase in sales, even as the amount of production space and the number of employees at production facilities appears to be levelling off.
The newest market data figures for the October 2022 to December 2022 reporting period, show a continued increase in cannabis inventory and sales across Canada. The total amount of approved production space and employees at these federally-approved facilities declined for the first time in 2022, following several years of steady growth.
Sales of dried cannabis (packaged units) have been holding relatively steady in 2022, while sales of edibles and extracts rose through the year. This occurred while the total amount of approved indoor and outdoor grow space declined slightly over the year.
Cannabis topicals also saw increased sales in 2022, with more than 81,000 packaged units sold, the majority in the non-medical stream.
Sales of cannabis plants were sporadic throughout 2022, with the most significant spike in sales occurring in June, with nearly 3,000 cannabis plant packaged sales. The vast majority of those sales were through the medical stream. Only 71 cannabis plants were sold through the non-medical stream in 2022.
Cannabis seed sales saw a spike from January to June 2022, almost exclusively sold through non-medical sales channels. Only 80 packaged units of seeds were sold through medical channels in 2022. The amount of seeds that producers and provinces have in inventory has declined significantly since 2021.
The total approved growing space in Canada also declined in 2022, from 1,756,642 square meters in December 2021 to 1,595,724 in December 2022.
The total amount of approved processing space has also declined, from 418,081 square meters in December 2021 to 378,863 in December 2022. The total building area for licensed producers, however, increased, from 4,128,904 square meters in December 2021 to 4,427,069 in December 2022.
The total approved outdoor growing space also declined, from 713 hectares in December 2021 to 595 in December 2022.
The number of employees on federally-licensed production sites also decreased, from a low and high estimate of 13,210 and 17,453 employees in December 2022, to 12,576 and 16,812 in December 2022.
Like medical cannabis a few years ago, psychedelics have now captured the public consciousness due to their medical potential. Research into psychedelics has revealed that they can treat many mental health disorders with minimal side effects. With millions of Americans currently struggling with mental health conditions, psychedelic-assisted therapies couldn’t have come at a better time.
Although the psychedelic reform movement is still in its infancy, it is steadily picking up steam within American cities and states. Colorado Governor Jared Polis recently signed a law that would create a regulatory system for the use of psychedelic substances in “licensed healing centers.” The legislation was created after Colorado voters voted to legalize psychedelics in a ballot initiative and passed by both the House and Senate before heading to the governor’s desk for his signature.
The ballot measure legalized the use of psilocybin, DMT, mescaline, ibogaine and psilocin for medical purposes and charged the Department of Regulatory Agencies to develop rules for the medical psychedelic program. Under this measure, Colorado would have a two-tiered regulatory model where patients would be allowed to use medical psilocybin and psilocin at licensed healing centers until June 2026. Regulators would then have leeway to decide whether or not to allow the therapeutic use of mescaline, DMT and ibogaine.
The measure also called for the formation of a 15-member Natural Medicine Advisory Board to discuss whether or not to add other psychedelics to the program while the Department of Regulatory Agencies would be in charge of authorizing these additions.
The law covers policies on healing centers for adults aged 21 years and older, licensing requirements, cultivation, license center facilitators, regulatory agency responsibilities and penalties for unlicensed activities within the psychedelic space. It also maintains some of the provisions included in the voter-approved measure, such as no limit on personal possession of mescaline, ibogaine, psilocybin, DMT and psilocin by adults aged 21 and over.
Underage and public psychedelic use would result in a $100 fine while adults would only be allowed to cultivate natural psychedelics in a private, enclosed space no larger than 12 by 12 feet or be liable for a $1,000 ticket if they violate this requirement. Individuals who had previous convictions for psychedelic-related activities that are now legal under state law would have a pathway to seal their records from public view.
Furthermore, the law set up a Division of Natural Medicine under the Department of Revenue to aid in regulating the medical psychedelic program and provide cultivators, manufacturers, healing centers, and testing facilities with licenses.
Governor Polis signed the measure into law three weeks after Senate lawmakers sent it to his desk.
Given that several companies such as Mind Medicine Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD) (NEO: MMED) (DE: MMQ) are pouring more resources into studying the medical potential of psychedelics, many more jurisdictions are set to reform their psychedelics laws as the medical potential of hallucinogens is brought to the fore.

(Globe Newswire) Toronto — Lifeist Wellness Inc., a health-tech company that leverages advancements in science and technology to build breakthrough companies that transform human wellness, has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement, pursuant to which the company will acquire 100 per cent of 1000501971 Ontario Inc. for $3,411,707.90.
The acquisition is an all-stock transaction, marking another significant milestone for Lifeist’s expansion strategy.
About the ‘Zest’ brand
The ‘Zest’ brand launched in September 2022 and has experienced remarkable growth within a short period of time, establishing a presence in Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Territories. With nine SKUs currently available and a store penetration rate of 22 per cent in Alberta, Lifeist’s subsidiary, CannMart is focused on rapidly expanding and growing Zest’s market share in the markets CannMart currently serves. The brand’s success is further bolstered by developing innovative products and its ability to tap into fast-growing sub-categories within the Canadian cannabis market.
Zest has demonstrated solid sales growth, with shipments growing an average of 28 per cent MoM from September 2022 to April 2023 across all provinces and categories. The focus is to continue this expansion with plans to increase the number of products available in Ontario to 14 by the end of Q3 2023. Zest is also looking to expand its current presence in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, as well as the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut. The expansion into new product categories in response to the growing demand for Zest’s offerings positions Lifeist for continued success and reinforces its commitment to delivering innovative and exceptional cannabis products to consumers nationwide.

This acquisition also represents a considerable opportunity for Lifeist to make material contributions to its topline and gross profit. By incorporating additional popular ‘Zest’ products into its portfolio, Lifeist expands its product offering and the number SKUs available. The addition of Zest’s high-quality infused pre-rolls and the ground-breaking Liquid Diamond vape formulations perfectly compliments CannMart’s distribution network and in-house brand, Roilty, renowned for its BHO extracts and distillate vapes.
Transaction details
The acquisition, which is an arm’s length transaction, is subject to, among other things, receipt of required TSX Venture Exchange approval, and other customary conditions of closing, and is expected to close in the coming weeks. Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement, Lifeist will purchase 100 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of Zest from 13735346 Canada Inc. and 1000496959 Ontario Ltd.
The consideration for the acquisition is comprised of, and is payable upon the following terms: (i) $1,536,707.90 in common shares of the company on the basis of a deemed price of $0.05 per common share and (ii) $1,875,000 in Common Shares on the basis of a deemed price of $0.05 per common share. Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement, the escrowed shares shall be deposited into escrow and released over a period of nine months in accordance with certain milestones pursuant to the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement.
As a condition of the acquisition, each seller will enter into a support and voting agreement with respect to the consideration shares received by the sellers in connection with the acquisition. Pursuant to the voting agreement, the company will provide written notice to each seller on how the considerations shares must be voted. The voting agreement will automatically terminate two years after the date of the closing of the acquisition.
Corporate update
The company also announced today the grant of restricted share units to members of the senior management team as part of a salary deferral program implemented in 2022. The board of directors have approved a grant of 281,843 RSUs to senior management of the company. The RSUs will vest one year from the grant date and have a two-year term. The grants of RSUs are subject to TSXV approval.
(Globe Newswire) — Cronos Group Inc., an innovative global cannabinoid company, announced its decision to streamline its operating structure by winding down and exiting its existing U.S. hemp-derived CBD-focused operations by the end of the second quarter of 2023. Cronos has made this decision to improve its cash flow in the near term and position itself to directly enter the U.S. THC market when the necessary changes in U.S. regulatory conditions occur.
Consequently, beginning with the second quarter of 2023, the company intends to report its financial results under one consolidated segment and will no longer report the U.S. and Rest of World as separate segments. Cronos is also increasing its previously announced 2023 operating expense savings target from a range of $10 to $20 million to a new range of $20 to $25 million, partially due to its decision to wind down and exit its existing U.S. operations.
In connection with the exit of its existing U.S. operations, Cronos expects to incur expenses in the second quarter of 2023, of up to $1.8 million comprised of inventory write-offs, severance and other employee costs, and asset impairment charges.
“We believe that one day, the U.S. will be one of the most important cannabis markets in the world. But we also believe our resources are best spent on staying laser-focused on becoming cash flow positive by driving cost savings and process efficiencies for our borderless adult-use products. We have the best balance sheet in the cannabis industry, with $836 million in cash and short-term investments and zero debt as of March 31, 2023. Achieving our goal to generate positive cash flow in 2024 will advance our industry-leading cash balance and put us in the best position to win in the U.S. once regulatory conditions change.” — Mike Gorenstein, chairman, president and CEO, Cronos

The company is committed to maximizing the value of its global branded product portfolio. It anticipates bringing the Lord Jones® brand back to its adult-use roots by launching it in the Canadian market in the fourth quarter of 2023. Cronos will continue to invest in R&D and product development in Canada to keep building our portfolio of borderless products across categories to equip us for when the U.S. THC market opens.
“We’re looking forward to continuing the legacy and reputation of the Lord Jones® brand by bringing it across the border to Canada. The Lord Jones® brand will offer high-quality, differentiated adult-use products, elevating the consumer experience through its original and unique brand proposition.” — Jeff Jacobson, chief growth officer, Cronos
Cronos’ adult-use brand, Spinach®, is currently the number-3 ranked cannabis brand in Canada and is currently the only cannabis brand in Canada that is top-10 in all categories it participates in, which includes the number-1 ranking in the gummies category, during the first quarter of 2023 according to HiFyre data. Cronos looks forward to utilizing its brand-building strength across both the Spinach® and Lord Jones® brands in Canada.
Since the legalization of cannabis came into force in Canada, cannabis retailers across the country have been forced into the uncomfortable position of having to cover their shop windows with opaque film, posters and solid screens.
Hang on, isn’t blocking line of sight into a business a terrible idea?
Yes, it is very dangerous to obstruct lines of sight into a workplace. Opaque windows create unsafe work environments and soft targets for crime in the context of retail stores. Yet, the dangerous practice of sightline obstruction is essentially mandated by the federal Cannabis Act.
Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of alternatives to opaque windows when your business is subject to Subdivision C of the Cannabis Act. Subdivision C is the part of the law that prohibits the display of cannabis, cannabis accessories and packaging in a manner that would allow youth to see those products. This section is the most impactful of board, stigma-oriented prohibitions on marketing activities around cannabis.
Advertisement
It is even more unfortunate that, in the last 12 months, a distressing consequence of obstructed windows on licensed cannabis stores has become apparent to stakeholders. Businesses have seen a notable increase in violence incidents related to theft in several provinces.
Following a rash of crimes in B.C., regulators heard from industry in an initiative led by one of the cannabis retailers’ associations, the Retail Cannabis Council of BC (RCCBC) about the dangerous working conditions the visibility restriction was creating. Stakeholders delivered the message that it was a matter of when, not if, serious injury to either staff or the public would occur.
As a result of this consultation, retailers in B.C. breathed a happy sigh of relief when regulators stood up for workplace safety.
On May 19, 2023, B.C. became the second province in Canada to update its provincial cannabis regulations removing the reference to the visibility of cannabis products and packaging.
This new approach represents a choice by the B.C. government to prioritize the safety of patrons and protect workers and their right to a safe workplace over stigma-based regulation. Obscured lines of sight into a business prevent law enforcement and other first responders from effectively assessing and reacting to emergency situations. This change empowers small businesses owners, employees and customers across the province to feel safer in licensed cannabis stores.
Provinces across Canada should follow suit and let their cannabis stakeholders know that their safety is a priority, and that true public safety works to reduce violence.
The regulatory shift towards safety over stigma in B.C. and Alberta opens a larger conversation around how best to regulate cannabis for Canadians. The current misalignment of the provincial regulations in western Canada with their federal counterparts is an excellent example of why an Ottawa guided marketing mandate for cannabis is inappropriate and fundamentally unworkable in a mature market. It’s very lucky that the spotlight falling on this issue conveniently coincides with the ongoing review of the Cannabis Act.
Unfortunately, the scope of the Cannabis Act review does little to remedy the concerns most of the Canadian cannabis sector is wrestling with. However, a review of the prohibitionist marketing regulations is included in the review. This represents a perfect opportunity for the federal government to let go of jurisdiction on cannabis marketing.
Time to acknowledge that decisions on cannabis marketing should be made by the individual provinces. A marketing regime for cannabis that works for British Columbians might not be appropriate for the citizens of Quebec. Why then are the feds trying to force this consensus when it’s completely unnecessary?
To better realize the stated goals of the legalization of cannabis in Canada, provincial governments need more authority to make decisions related to marketing cannabis. Provincial jurisdiction would allow the calibration of cannabis marketing regulations based on what is best for individual provincial culture and the comfort level of their citizens with cannabis as an adult use product. Such a jurisdictional shift would go hand and glove with their existing control over the distribution and sale of cannabis.
Provinces are already taking these matters into their own hands, why not make it official?
A provision in the SAFE Banking measure has drawn criticism from several leaders and groups, including Democratic Senator Jack Reed, conservative advocacy associations and senior federal officials. The parties argue that the provision may unintentionally restrict the capacity of regulators to take action against those abusing financial services.
Reed first raised his concerns about Section 10 of the SAFE Banking Act this month in a session held by the Senate Banking Committee to discuss the bill. The senator stated that the provision’s wording will make it more challenging for federal authorities to issue a warning regarding any customer relationships that pose major dangers to the bank. Reed further stated that the section will force banks to notify customers when they are being sought after by the federal government for engaging in illegal behavior, which he likened to tipping off a criminal.
The section states that regulators are not permitted to order or request a depository institution to terminate an individual or group account or to in any other way prevent a depository institution from establishing or continuing a banking relationship with a particular customer, including but not restricted to any customer account that belongs to a state-approved cannabis service provider or business. There are a few exceptions, such as when financial regulators issue a formal statement that the institution is participating in risky or unsound behaviors. However, the section is generally viewed as an overly broad policy move that would restrict the ability of authorities to exercise oversight of financial transactions unrelated to the cannabis sector.
Reed brought up the subject once more at a committee hearing last week, questioning Michael Barr, the Federal Reserve’s vice chair for supervision, and Michael Hsu, the acting comptroller of the currency, if they shared his worries about the section. In answer to Reed’s inquiry at the hearing, Hsu stated that it is crucial that supervisors have the authority to recognize hazards and take prompt action in response, including ordering rectification.
Barr stated that it’s critical that Congress address the problem of the possible inconsistency between federal and state law with regard to marijuana banking services. He also acknowledged that the sections of the bill could be problematic, notwithstanding his usual skepticism about cases in which federal authorities are telling banks what to do with their customers.
At a prior cannabis banking bill hearing, Reed also presented a letter from consumer organizations that primarily focused on the same section of the SAFE Banking legislation. The letter to committee leadership was sent earlier this month and stated that the provision is too broad and could have effects that go far beyond marijuana banking.
It’s probable that Sherrod Brown (D-OH), chairman of the Banking Committee, was referring to this problem when he said that his panel would hold a hearing on financial hurdles in the cannabis business. When speaking to reporters at the time, he expressed concern that banking officials were attempting to exploit the legislation to undermine regulations and undercut bank standards, though he did not elaborate how he thought the banks were doing that.
Given the recent concerns and the apparent consensus that the Financial Act was not intended to alter legislation outside of the cannabis industry, the clause might be changed, either on the floor or in committee.
As more advocates push for change in cannabis banking laws, some companies, such as IGC Pharma Inc. (NYSE American: IGC), are pressing on with their work of medicalizing marijuana since FDA-approved cannabis formulations would fall under the purview of a completely different set of laws from those that are seen as holding back the marijuana industry from reaching its full potential.

A recent study in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs examined cannabis consumer preferences as they relate to choosing where and what to purchase.
The study shows that cannabis consumers in Canada are willing to pay more for a higher quality, legal flower with an emphasis on high THC.
However, their motivations have less to do with price and more to do with THC potency and package and label information.
Those with more loyalty to the legal market tended to prefer pre-rolls and were more likely to be less frequent consumers. In contrast, more high-volume consumers preferred larger-volume packaging and were more likely to care about THC potency and price.
Researchers highlight that the results show a balancing act for regulators with public health regulatory goals, while also allowing for product types and packaging that will appeal to consumers more likely to turn to the unregulated to meet their needs.
Three types of consumers
The study divided respondents into three mostly distinct groups and had them rate purchase preference for cannabis flower based on characteristics like THC potency, moisture level, price, packaging, legal status, and recommendations.
The first group, about 30 percent of the 891 total participants, based purchases on a preference for high THC (+25 percent) and price. These tended to be more long-time consumers who use cannabis regularly and were more likely to have an ideological preference for unlicensed sources.
The second group, about 40 percent of all respondents, were more likely to make purchasing decisions based on product type and the amount of information on the label. This group preferred larger packaging and whole flower over pre-rolls and tended to put more importance on proper moisture level than the other two groups.
The third group, 30 percent of the respondents, were also most motivated by packaging type but instead had a preference for pre-rolls over other dried flower SKUs. While most consumers didn’t rate legal cannabis as a high priority in purchasing decisions, this group gave it more importance than the first two groups. This group also tended to consume less often than the other two and were more likely to report starting or restarting cannabis use after legalization.
“When all other attributes were held constant, participants were willing to pay about $15 more for 3.5 grams of dried flower packaged in a bag compared to pre-rolled packages, $8 more for dried flower that had a medium moisture content compared to low, $34 more for 3.5g of dried flower that was 25%+ THC compared to 10-14.9% THC, $19 more for detailed package information compared to no detail, and $9 more for a product that was regulated by Health Canada compared to no regulation.”
All three groups didn’t give much weight to recommendations, including online reviews, family and friends, or retailers. The first group gave more importance to online reviews, the second group had a slight preference for family and friend recommendations, and the third group tended to be more motivated by retailer recommendations.
Although there was some crossover in reporting groups, most tended to fit into just one category. Overall, consumers placed a low priority on recommendations. They were willing to pay more for dried flower than pre-rolls, more for flower that wasn’t overly dried, more for high THC flower, and more for detailed product information on the label.
Graphene Oxide in humans as transmitters and receivers interacting with 5G EMF for total surveillance.
Despite the heavy trim job, here’s a summary for the ADHD “TL;DR!” crowd:
The cover for a new weapon targeting human populations was “medicine” to combat a non-existent virus with no biological (or laboratory) origin at all.
5G simply means fifth generation and has no relation to the power of cell towers or satellite frequencies.
5G uses microwave /mmWave technology and is a military-grade weapon being deployed against civilian populations for human biotechnological experimentation in conjunction with the “primers” or fake vaccines
As with the Internet of Things, the transhumanist agenda calls for the Internet of Bodies—connecting humans to a total surveillance grid where the reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles inside bodies serve as transmitters or receivers, and are triggered by EMF including 5g weapons. This is openly part of Klitz Schlub’s “Forse Industreyael Revolshun.” Klitz’s transhumanist sauna boy Yuval Harari has called humans useless eaters and hackable animals with no free will.
The goal appears to be the covert engineering of a post-human species of network assimilation or real-life NPCs (as if there aren’t enough already), and total surveillance for control of human thoughts and behavior. Why waste time with censorship and propaganda when you can go right to the source of moods, thoughts, and beliefs without people knowing by first scaring the shit out of them with a phony sniffles bug and then offering them the cure to rescue their jobs and regain some crumbs of liberty?
If the above goal seems “crazy” there are mountains of evidence that the CIA and Pentagon have been at this for at least sixty years using psychotropic drugs, the con of psychiatry, hypnosis, mind control techniques, psychological torture, electroshock torture, electro stimulation, neurosurgical procedures using node implants, and frequency exposure with deadly microwave technologies
5GW—fifth generation warfare means that human minds are targets and all options are on the table for manipulation including all of the above. WW3 is already hot, and it is, after all, a silent war on humanity. A war on our minds, bodies, spirits, and souls, perpetrated by governments and their controllers against their own citizens.
Energy: Earth, Body, Mind, and Soul
Electricity, magnetism, and frequencies guide our world.
The Schumann Resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere.
These natural background resonances can be measured and have been found to be in the low frequency (LF) portion of the Earth’s electromagnetic field spectrum.
The earth is protected by a delicate electromagnetic field, while the constant frequency responsible for guarding all natural life upon it is 7.83 hertz. The natural frequency of a standing human body is 7.5 hertz, while human Alpha brainwaves tend to fluctuate in the same range as the earth—8 hertz.
Energy as a scientific explanation for phenomena is as old as the secrets of mystic healers and psychic seers. Ancient civilizations understood the energy of the earth, and the power of the sun, stars, and cosmos, in orientating themselves toward natural living.
Today this is called mystic quackery and modern life has abandoned the lessons of ancient civilizations and instead herded our species toward all that is toxic and deadly to human health.
A Peruvian psychic who could somehow read individuals’ energy and frequency forces once told a man that he would be stricken down in middle age by a terrible disease eating away at his insides. She nearly named the exact time it would happen. This man was my father’s closest friend, who expired twenty years after his meeting with that psychic after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
Everything around us is vibrating at different frequencies, and some people claim to be in touch with them and to even see them.
The great British mystic David Icke claims to have had his life transformed on a visit to Peru in the early 1990s. He constantly stresses that the key to combating the global evil engaged in enslaving minds and destroying bodies is to keep away from the lower frequencies that feed them—the low vibrational energy emitted by the lower range of human emotions that deteriorate our own well-being.
If human moods and emotional states can channel different frequencies then this requires constant ruminating in a self-aware state of meditation and reflection with some ability to control our emotional states.
The “alternative” practice of energy healing and energy medicine claims that Quantum Science has medical answers that are mostly ignored by Rockefeller Big Pharma toadies who never work to heal humans, but instead, burden them with greater diseases while collecting windfall profits for the pleasure. There’s no money to be made in natural healing, and so it will always be dismissed as pseudoscience charlatanism by the powers that want us ill, submissive, and dependent on them.
However, there is evidence that our thoughts create energy, and various vibrations within our system that have the power to accentuate our own healing capacity—or destroy it.
Nature, the earth, and our bodies overall, operate at a basic frequency of approximately 10 cycles per second (Alpha Frequency). Any thoughts we think that generate a frequency different than that—such as fear, anger, or worry—compromise our natural health and well-being in some way.
When prolonged thinking in this fashion occurs, it generates the incapacity for cells to operate as they were designed. This leads to the cells’ lack of ability to replenish, rejuvenate and heal, ultimately leading to disease.
As Dennis Rancourt observed in a recent interview with JJ Couey, “It’s been shown that stress is the number one cause of illnesses. Now imagine locking down the whole planet and telling people there’s something dangerous out there that can kill them.”
The attainment of higher frequencies of emotion, of love, joy, peace, and enlightenment cannot be obstructed by fear, pride, grief, or guilt, which perhaps requires a willingness to reason that the courage of acceptance might be the first golden ticket upwards toward higher states of being.
The process of dehumanization is at the forefront of the global technocratic order’s agenda and the first and most important step for dehumanization has been taking place since the industrial revolution.
Removing humans from the natural world and herding them into urban areas is a process that this order seeks to accelerate while criminalizing small farming and eventually private property.
Fifteen-minute total surveillance cities are designed (and currently being rolled out) as mechanisms to keep humans away from natural stabilizing forces and frequencies. Cities are nothing less than systems of social organization to disrupt our connections to the natural environment.
In our brewing digital dystopia, as people accept dehumanizing technologies and systems without the slightest thought of resistance their bodies and mind pay the price. As a result, there’s no shortage of blog posts and articles about “digital detoxing” and “reconnecting with yourself” for balance and well-being.
It has become a tired and predictable self-help industry, another money-making grift that utilizes common sense to sell a way of living that only a generation or two prior would have been met with a chorus of laughter and a resounding, “Duh!”
Endless studies show what ancient civilizations and natural healers have known for thousands of years, our mental (and therefore physical) well-being requires we stay connected to the natural world:
One study from 2017 showed that individuals who spent more time in nature had reduced levels of depression and anxiety.
The research used a large sample size from the UK and established a strong link between exposure to nature and improved mental well-being.
Another published in 2015, showed that walking in nature could lead to a lower risk of depression. Specifically, the study found that individuals who went on a 90-minute walk in a natural environment had lower levels of rumination (repetitive thought focused on negative aspects of the self) and reduced neural activity in an area of the brain linked to risk for mental illness compared with those who walked in an urban environment.
Another found that interacting with nature could improve cognitive functioning and mood. The study found that individuals who walked in nature could perform better on memory tasks and showed improved moods compared to those who walked in urban environments.
Concrete jungles and coffin skyrises are not just herding mechanisms for the masses, leading them away from nature. They are the perfect setting to unleash the 5G weapon to experiment on millions of humans.
Cities are at the forefront of the global 5G rollout. Hundreds of powerful cell towers litter urban areas, along with requisite 5G repeaters needed for phased arrays, which give 5G ten times the power of its predecessor. These repeaters are hidden inside lamp posts and on electrical poles, on rooftops, and atop traffic signals. The combination of upgraded towers pushed 600mhz transmissions to 2.4Ghz on upwards to 6Ghz or more in recent years while billions were distracted by a non-existent virus.
Some Western governments have even approved 6G frequencies of 26Ghz for enterprise experimentation in anticipation of a global rollout before the end of the decade.
The shift from 4G+ to 5G, all rolled out under the cover of a hoax pandemic, was no small matter. Mobile download speeds went from 20mbps to 155mbps overnight, with some urban areas hitting up to 400mbps. Throw in tens of thousands of 5G satellites and our world is become an experimental radiation cage, with all living beings including humans as real-time subjects for biological electromagnetic experimentation.
Invisible = Crazy
Why don’t more ‘truthers’ or alternative voices of the so-called “medical freedom movement” speak out about EMF poisoning or the 5G rollout happening under the blanket of a global plandemic?
The normie mind has become conditioned to equate that which cannot be seen with crazy (yet can still be measured and quantified and studied as the cause of harm) because none of the “experts” speak openly about it. The corporate media ignores it like they do the consequences of the toxic vaccine horror show because their bills are paid by both Big Pharma and Big Telecom and the agenda of the Internet of Things plus Internet of Bodies must continue for the technological solutionists and transhumanists that control the world.
Invisible viruses that have never been measured or proven to be the cause of a disease are easier for the normie mind to believe after a lifetime of programming than invisible frequencies that have been measured and studied, and determined to be harmful and deadly to so much natural life on Earth, including our species.
Even though the self-identified non-normie red-pilled person knows the vaccines are toxic and deadly, they still won’t touch the 5G topic. While they can see the CDC and FDA don’t have their best interests in mind regarding, masks, lockdowns, medicines, and “vaccines,” and want them to depart the world sooner than they’d planned, somehow they can’t see the same evil motives in the FCC which hasn’t updated its recommendations for human EMF exposure since…1996.
The Telecommunications Act of that same year which gave Americans five media monopolies that control all information and work with the government to censor citizens on social media also gave citizens the federal law that prohibits municipalities from stopping the construction of cell towers in their neighborhoods on the grounds that it’s bad for human health.
If cities consider the detrimental health effects of EMF in prohibiting the construction of new 5G weapons towers then according to federal law, the cell companies can sue the city. Seriously.
Did you think it was just Big Pharma that wants you sick or dead?
The next time you’re watching the exciting sportsball game between the Boston Lucky Charms and the Philadelphia Tranqs, and you see those Verizon or T-Mobile commercials touting how supreme and wide-ranging their 5G coverage is, imagine Pfizer or Moderna commercials trumpeting how supreme their Covid vaccines are and then try not to vomit your hot wings into your popcorn bowl.
What’s the difference other than one might kill you faster? One is sold as medicine, the other as a convenience for the frictionless digital life. For the transhumanist Internet of Bodies, each occupies one side of the same coin.
Global 5G Rollout + Covid Outbreak Correlation Fallacy
Before we get to what 5G is, and how it affects human health let’s tackle the one subject that keeps the virus and lab leak crowds from bothering to engage with the 5G topic.
People want absolutely have to know what caused all those people to become ill and die in 2020 and 2021. If there was no virus, then what explains the illnesses?
Tell them that most were killed in hospitals, intentionally with government-subsidized poisons and most don’t believe it.
Tell them that the illness that led people to the hospital were ordinary illnesses we’ve always had, and most don’t believe it.
Tell them that the PCR tests are not diagnostic tests, and most were false positives and most don’t believe it.
Tell them the flu was rebranded and ask them how it magically disappeared for two years and they’ll look at you as if they’re auditioning for Beavis and Butthead.
The key point is that faking a pandemic doesn’t need a novel virus, and proving that the 5G rollout was the cause of the pandemic using maps is a waste of time.
There are websites that try to prove a correlation between the global rollout of 5G at the exact geographic hotspots of “Covid” outbreaks. Forget China, it’s impossible to track cell tower data, dates, rollout, and frequencies. Wuhan did have a massive 5G rollout at the time of the Coivd Psyop’s opening curtain, hundreds of base stations, and towers, but there’s no way to prove it using data because the Chinese Government offers zero data. But it’s a hundred times more likely that 5G EMF radiation poisoning and toxic air pollution triggered the illnesses that led to deaths instead of a novel virus.
I have spent hours going through these correlation claims in the next two hots spots (Italy and New York) where data is available and looking at their cell tower maps and historical data because I assumed at first they were correct and wanted to believe it was true, but there’s simply no way to prove a correlation of 5G rollout to hotspots as the cause of “Covid” disease.
The first hot spots in Lombardy didn’t get 5G repeaters until two years later. Their first tower upgrades happened a year later, but without the thousands of repeaters, the towers alone are not as powerful.
But then the lightbulb finally went off.
Why would there be an obvious correlation fingerprint left behind between Covid hotspots and 5G rollout?
Imagine faking a global pandemic to get as many people injected with GO and to cover for a 5G global weapon system targeting internal corporeal GO manipulation for their transhumanist agenda.
Would you really make your first hotspot in Lombardy, Italy WHILE simultaneously pumping new 5G towers and repeaters in the area, when the date and rollout of transmission can be easily shown with public data to match the timing of the outbreak?
Would you then go and do that the world over matching outbreaks to hotspots? These people are diabolical and arrogant, but not stupid.
This is not to say that EMF poisoning hasn’t been happening on a mass scale since even before the plandemic. Constant exposure to 4G was enough to cause a host of health issues, with no connection by allopathic white coats ever made to EMF exposure.
But they didn’t need a cause of illness whether EMF or a novel virus with scary spikey things. The old illnesses were good enough to be labeled Covid with PCR tests. The media and governments did the rest by locking down and turning up the fear dial. The hospitals did their part by murdering patients with pneumonia and treatable illnesses. The rest is history.
Again, this doesn’t mean that 5G doesn’t cause illness, including nearly identical symptoms of Covid-19 as you
’ll see in a study below. But the 5G rollout will never match the timeline of phony Covid “outbreaks” as they happened and they don’t need to match the timeline to validate an epidemic of GO and EMF poisoning.
What is 5G?
A hoax pandemic to cover for weaponized global EMF rollout. Radiation is 10-100x more powerful than previous cellular frequencies since 5G uses phased arrays, and requires repeaters or base stations every 100 meters.
Mark Steele is a British engineer, inventor, patent writer, and weapons research scientist. In February of 2022, he released a report warning about the implications of 5G weapons on humans and our natural environment.
The sweeping movement of the beam wave at over 13.6V causes the positive charging of air, which is noxious to all biological life at significant distances from the antenna emission to the target acquisition zone, such is the capability of the 5G hard- and software and is the very reason this equipment is, and has been, used extensively on the battlefield as scanning environment radar and Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) for the purpose of disrupting and disabling enemy hardware, as well as biological assets, i.e. humans.
Spectrum dominance of the 5G network from sub 3 GHz to 300 GHz poses a real risk of bodily harm from higher photon energy value frequencies that are coherent radiation emissions, the impact of which is currently unknown since they are untested and not proven to be safe, as well as uninsurable, with levels of radiation emissions in excess of anything imagined by earlier technologists. ICNIRP guideline radiation values apply only to single antenna device emitters, and do not take into account the massive increase and multiplication of radiation emission devices proposed across all cities and towns for the 5G network, which is intended to interconnect everything simultaneously using highly complex, biologically toxic, and in particular, modulated microwave radiation.
Mark Steel’s report on vaccines with GO and EMF:
The vast majority of the populations across the West, in particular those of the Five Eyes community, the Anglosphere intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have been injected without their knowledge with nano metamaterial antennas and are unfortunately going to suffer increased mortality rates due to localized reflecting radiation emissions from the 5G urban radar. All of the known coronavirus symptoms can be attributed to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation pollution.
Insurance companies must rely on the most accurate data available in assessing coverage options and products. One of the largest in the world knows something about 5G.
From Lloyd’s press release in 2019, a full year before the 5G global rollout and the hoax pandemic:
“Today, MANY more recent peer-reviewed scientific studies show a range of serious damage caused by these wi-fi frequencies. 5G brings a quantum leap in damage – to DNA, to cell mitochondria, and much more.”
All of this was known as early as 2012 when 29 authors from around the world, including 10 with medical degrees and 21 PhDs wrote the BioInitiative Report.
The report reviewed approximately 1,800 studies that reported EMF exposure effects:
abnormal gene transcription;
genotoxicity and single-and double-strand DNA damage;
stress proteins because of the fractal RF-antenna-like nature of DNA;
chromatin condensation and loss of DNA repair capacity in human stem cells;
reduction in free-radical scavengers – particularly melatonin;
neurotoxicity in humans and animals, carcinogenicity in humans;
serious impacts on human and animal sperm morphology and function;
effects on offspring behavior; and,
effects on the brain and cranial bone development in the offspring of animals that are exposed to cell phone radiation during pregnancy
5G “Covid” Connection Study Ignored
One of the most fascinating publications to appear in the past three years is also one of the most ignored. Under the cover of a hoax pandemic with a virus that has never been proven to be the cause of anything claimed by those orchestrating the hoax pandemic, they silently unleashed fifth-generation cellular technology across first and second-world countries.
The bioeffects of 5G poisoning are nearly identical to the stated “Covid-19” non-existent virus symptoms. Perhaps the most glaring similarity is the Rouleaux (French: rolls, or chains) blood formation or clumping of red blood cells. In addition to reduced hemoglobin, this would explain the lack of oxygen or hypoxia-like symptoms including those still attributed to “long Covid” or spike-protein poisoning.
Naturopathic doctors have been treating “Long Covid” from the “virus” poisoning and “vaccine” poisoning, by treating Rouleaux formation with natural and chemical chelating agents. Though most of them are unaware they are actually treating the Rouleaux caused by toxic EMF and GO poisoning.
What are the effects of 5G EMF on the human body?
A meta-analysis from 2022.
Overall results of this review show three types of effects by base station antennas on the health of people: radiofrequency sickness (RS), cancer (C) and changes in biochemical parameters (CBP). Considering all the studies reviewed globally (n = 38), 73.6% (28/38) showed effects: 73.9% (17/23) for radiofrequency sickness, 76.9% (10/13) for cancer and 75.0% (6/8) for changes in biochemical parameters.
More than 10,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies demonstrate harm to human health from RF radiation.[10][11] Effects include:
What are the EMF effects on graphene oxide inside the human body?
Graphene oxide when oxidized or activated by specific EMF frequencies (2.4gHz from 4G and 8.4gHz and higher from 5G) overruns the body’s ability to create enough glutathione, which paralyzes and destroys the immune system and causes a host of symptoms, many of them shown in the list above.
According to Dr. Pablo Campra graphene oxide from the “vaccines” assembles inside the body, and is an electrical conduit. It is activated by EMF frequencies, which mobilize the particles to possibly self-assemble into a nano circuitry to be used as some kind of transmitter or receiver for the vaccinated subject.
Also from Mark Steele’s report:
Vaccines have been shown in a number of studies to contain toxic metal contaminants, including “inexplicable” levels of nanometal contamination. This phenomenon is far from inexplicable if the research scientists who carried out this study had knowledge of the defence industry goals and the metamaterial ingredients that can be used to enhance urban 5G interrogation technologies.
Remote Controlled Humans
The CIA and Pentagon have been at work trying to discover ways to control the population beyond propaganda through psychological manipulation. For at least sixty years, they’ve experimented on human subjects using psychotropic drugs, the con of psychiatry, hypnosis, mind control techniques, psychological torture, electroshock torture, electrostimulation, neurosurgical procedures using node implants, and frequency exposure with deadly microwave technologies.
A journalist who requested documents in Washington State using the Freedom of Information Act received additional files by accident. These files included documents on “remote mind control” and the effects of “psycho-electric weapons.”
One image shows the use of mobile phone towers to induce “mass and individual remote mind control” in addition to using disguised communications vans parked outside homes, and even helicopters carrying “psychotronic weapons.”
They even know which bioelectric resonance frequencies can induce different effects through different parts of the brain.
Another diagram shows the effects of psycho-electronic weapons on different parts of the human body. Many of these match up with 5G EMR radiation exposure.
Not long after 9-11, in the wake of the Patriot Act, one of the last noble Democrats Dennis Kucinich submitted bill H.R.2977 in an attempt to block government expansion and overreach of powers and in particular the targeting of humans with advanced weapons systems.
This is nothing less than a confession that for decades the U.S. government has been utilizing the following weapons systems that appear in the bill:
Such terms include exotic weapons systems such as– (i) electronic, psychotronic, or information weapons; (ii) chemtrails; (iii) high altitude ultra low frequency weapons systems; (iv) plasma, electromagnetic, sonic, or ultrasonic weapons; (v) laser weapons systems; (vi) strategic, theater, tactical, or extraterrestrial weapons; and (vii) chemical, biological, environmental, climate, or tectonic weapons. (C) The term “exotic weapons systems” includes weapons designed to damage space or natural ecosystems (such as the ionosphere and upper atmosphere) or climate, weather, and tectonic systems with the purpose of inducing damage or destruction upon a target population
That last one must really hit home with the people of central Turkey.
So, what happened to Kucinich’s H.R.2977?
The Cheney-Bush White House requested comment from the defense department. The DOD came back six months later and entered into the congressional record as the final action of H.R.2977: Unfavorable Executive Comment Received from DOD.
Conclusion
Limit your exposure to 5G. Start by never buying 5G products.
Get away from cell towers.
Leave the cities while you still can.
Avoid any and all injections (vaccines, insulin, dental -cains, anticoagulants – they’re putting GO in everything)
Take care of your body (follow GO and metal detox protocols)
Be mindful of your emotional frequencies
What you put out in this world is what you’ll get back

More than 20 states now allow their residents to purchase recreational cannabis while dozens of states have launched medical marijuana markets. This has significantly expanded access to cannabis among the populace and allowed millions of Americans to purchase and consume marijuana legally.
But since federal law still considers cannabis a Schedule I controlled substance, certain individuals can face serious consequences for consuming state-legal cannabis. For instance, people employed by the federal government or in safety-sensitive positions can lose their jobs for failing cannabis tests.
At the moment, individuals who are interested in becoming peace officers in Nevada are not eligible for employment if they received a conviction for an offense that involves the illegal sale, possession or use of a controlled substance. As a result, individuals who had prior cannabis-related convictions, such as possession, are unlikely to be employed as Nevada peace officers.
The commission is now looking to add language that would create an exception for applicants who received cannabis-related convictions that are “not prosecutable under the law” now that Nevada has updated its cannabis policies. Nevada legalized recreational cannabis in November 2016 while medical marijuana has been legal since 2000.
The proposed changes are meant to bring the state’s employment policies in line with the updated cannabis policies. However, while the changes will loosen restrictions on police recruits with prior cannabis-related convictions that are now considered legal, no recruits will be allowed to use cannabis after being employed.
POST’s administration manual states that there simply is no room for cannabis or other psychoactive drugs in the “policing profession” and encourages law-enforcement agencies in the state to prohibit the use of recreational and medical cannabis both on and off duty. In fact, the manual even prohibits people with state-issued medical marijuana cards from attending POST courses such as the Basic Training Academy.
The issue of cannabis use among employees is becoming increasingly more prevalent in recent years as the wave of cannabis reform has swept across America and left most states with some kind of cannabis market.
In 2019, a Las Vegas police officer lost his job after failing a THC test and sued the police department. The court ruled that the no-tolerance policy on marijuana use among peace officers was “untenable” and also acknowledged that state law protected an employee’s right to lawfully use cannabis while off duty.
As cannabis laws are eased further across more states in the country, the number of people using the substance is likely to grow, which could mean that even businesses such as Advanced Container Technologies Inc. (OTC: ACTX) which don’t directly deal in marijuana benefit from the boom.
