Legalize SC

Scientists in Brazil have discovered a cannabis compound, cannabidiol (CBD), inside a completely different plant unrelated to ma*****na.

The plant, called *Trema micrantha blume*, is a shrub native to parts of the Americas and contains CBD in its fruits and flowers.

Unlike cannabis, it does not carry THC—the chemical responsible for psychoactive effects—making it a potential legal alternative.

Researchers believe this plant could be a cheaper and more accessible source of CBD for medicinal use.

Rodrigo Moura Neto, a molecular biologist, says the plant grows widely in Brazil and could offer new possibilities for treatment.

Further studies are now exploring how to extract CBD from it and whether it works like cannabis-based products.

This breakthrough opens doors for countries with strict cannabis laws.

Nature just delivered another surprise, hiding healing potential in an unexpected place.

The world of plant science may never look the same again.

📝 A new study shows that Atlanta’s decision to decriminalize mari_jua_na actually lowered violent crime, despite what critics warned.

👮🏾‍♀️ Before the change, getting caught with a small amount of the plant could mean a year in jail and a $1,500 fine—but in 2017, the city reduced that to just a $75 fine with no jail time.

🥼 Researchers looked at crime data from 2015-2018 and compared Atlanta to other Georgia cities that didn’t change their ma*****na laws. The results? Violent crime dropped by nearly 20%, with about 20 fewer violent crimes per 100,000 people each month. And no, crime didn’t just shift to other areas—the drop was real.

💡 So, what made the difference? Cops stopped wasting time on low-level mari_jua_na arrests and focused on actual violent crimes instead.

🚔 The Atlanta Police Department backed this approach, saying they’d rather go after robbers, rapists, and home invaders than throw ca_nn_abis consumers in jail. Even 15 months later, crime rates were still lower, proving that shifting priorities worked.

⚖️ This study adds to the growing evidence that legalizing or decriminalizing mari_jua_na doesn’t make communities more dangerous—it can actually make them safer by letting police do their jobs where it really matters.
