Pain and pleasure aren’t opposites. In fact, they share a surprising amount of brain real estate. When the body senses pain, the brain responds with endorphins and enkephalins, which are natural opioids. They soothe the pain, sure, but they also create a warm, “I could sink into this” feeling. Add dopamine into the mix for anticipation and reward, adrenaline for intensity, and oxytocin for connection, and suddenly the right kind of pain transforms into something pleasurable or even euphoric. That is why the slap on your butt during s*x or the pinching of your ni***es may feel so good!

Congress recently voted to ban products that contain 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container earlier this month when they voted to reopen the government.

Previously, the 2018 Farm Bill said h**p can be grown legally if it contains less than 0.3% THC.

There is a one-year implementation delay for the federal h**p ban, but states can create their own regulatory framework before then.

On the ma*****na side, the Ohio bill would reduce the THC levels in adult-use ma*****na extracts from a maximum of 90% down to a maximum of 70%, cap THC levels in adult-use flower to 35%, and prohibit smoking in most public places.

Ohio lawmakers passed a bill early Thursday morning that would ban intoxicating h**p products and make changes to the state’s ma*****na laws.  The Ohio House voted 52-34 to pass Ohio Senate Bill 56, sending it to the Senate.  Ohio Republicans Tim Barhorst, Thaddeus Claggett, Levi Dean, Jennife...
