  2. On Friday during Commander Night at my LGS I made a (for me) very special card trade. I traded my 4th edition Land Tax, my Hexing Squelcher and Bonehoard Dracosaur for a Zendikar Verdant Catacombs (my second one), a Lorwyn Eclipsed Bloom Tender and most importantly a Secret Lair Art Foil Alesha, Who Smiles at Death signed by Carmen Klomparens! As a trans woman that card means so much to me and it being signed by a cool trans woman makes it so much better!

  3. I went to my #LGS to show off #crowns and the verdict was (paraphrasing): "we get a lot of people coming in to demo their games and we rarely see so much potential. it also helps that its a 1on1 game which is a niche with a lot of room left to fill, and the box is so small it fits casual play, and the rules so simple yet carrying enough layers and depth that we could recommend it to just about anyone."

    coming from professional #boardgamers, that has me ECSTATIC! 😁

  6. "Is Kaneh-Bosm, Natures Multipurpose Pharmaceutical... " Part 2 of 2 –
    Medical and Scientific:
    ⚠️ CW: Cannabis

    Alzheimer's and Dementia:

    In a previous post, I highlighted the medical research of two renowned cannabis experts, Dr. Raphael Mechoulam and Dr. Dedi Meiri. Dr. Meiri's recent studies proclaiming the benefits and safety of treating Alzheimer's with the plant, seems to be mirrored by many other findings. Dr. Mechoulam has been studying cannabis for decades and has published countless results regarding the herb's healing effects on a wide array of health issues and IDs (invisible disabilities). "Cannabis Therapeutics in the Future of Neurology" in the pub med NLB link, speaks of the efficacy and safety track record of Kaneh Bosm, echoing the conclusions of these "experts".

    TBI, Brain Injury, CTE and Others:

    That study, and others below, examine "the intriguing promise that recent discoveries regarding cannabis-based medicines offer to neurological therapeutics..." Five "intractable conditions" labeled as being "recalcitrant to therapeutic success" were looked at. Numerous THC, CBD and other cannabis compounds were explored for treating Alzheimer's, epilepsy, Parkinson's, brain tumors and TBI/CTE (traumatic brain injury and chronic traumatic encephalopathy). The seeming ability of Cannabis "Botanicals" to interact with, and "harness"* the endocannabinoid system, was also noted in the studies.

    The human body is equipped with, what is referred to as the "endocannabinoid system". One of the major parts of this system being, a variety of "endogenous neurotransmitters" that, as a group are referred to as "endocannabinoids". The other major components of this system are two known cannabinoid receptors, CB1R and CB2R. A simplified explanation I once heard, made a comparison: "as the thyroid gland is to the endocrine system, CB receptors are to the endocannabinoid system". When cannabinoids from the plant are introduced, a sort of "activation" of the CB1R and CB2R receptors in the body occurs. Some feel this is the natural health benefits of "Natures Pharmaceutical", working wellness in the body.

    "Cannabis Therapeutics in the Future of Neurology" (linked below) reports on "shared pathological process" and the "plausibility" that, the botanical cannabis compounds tested, were responsible for "interventions that harness the endocannabinoid mechanisms". Considering concerns about safety and the damaging side effects of chemical pharmaceuticals, the herb that some have called "Nerve Grease", can bring safe and controlled relief to many with a variety of IDs and other conditions. Just as Dr. Meiri, and the years of Dr. Mechoulam's studies have indicated, the report on pub med.gov states:

    1) "Current basic science and clinical investigations support the safety and efficacy of such interventions in treatment of these currently...".
    2) "While cannabis-based medicines have demonstrated safety, efficacy and consistency sufficient for regulatory approval in spasticity in multiple sclerosis (MS), and in Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut Syndromes (LGS), many therapeutic challenges remain".

    Brain injury (TBI/ABI) and PTSD – My View from the inside:

    According to the "Journal of Neuroinflammation": "...the only treatment options for TBI include symptom management and cognitive therapies. There are currently no effective pharmaceutical treatment options to improve outcomes for TBI of any severity despite great clinical need".
    As one with both TBI and ABI, I am well aware of the truth in that statement. I have always been "recalcitrant" to the prescription of pharmaceutical "relief", because of my brothers opioid addiction, that ultimately took his life. They were also very ineffective when I did try them. I knew what worked to help my whole being and I was comfortable with Kaneh Botanical intervention as treatment, though others were not.

    The varied array of TBI affects include: cognitive impairment, trouble focusing, appetite repulsion, nausea, avoidance/social anxiety, irritability, moodiness, insomnia, tremors, communication limitations, aphasia, memory issues, headaches, inflammation and sensitivity to sound and light. The average life expectancy of people with TBI is 54 years and many are susceptible to early onset Alzheimer's.

    I have certainly experienced a legion of these and a number of other symptoms. Early on, I had to relearn things like making coffee, because filling the machine, finding the filter, dispensing the coffee etc., was too many steps, and once took me over two hours. At times, I tremored and stuttered, having the same headache every day, for seven consecutive years. Effects of TBI are not always noticeable immediately following an accident but, can develop over the course of time. About a year after my first accident, I had a few occurrences while driving, of momentarily forgetting where I was going, or what road I was on. I was going home on a familiar thoroughfare. I wasn't fearful, seeming to know it would pass and I'd recognize where I was but, in my mind, I was lost for a few minutes.

    When able, I also began spending countless hours researching brain injury, neurology and cannabis as medicine. I found Dr. Mechoulam's work, which resonated with some of my own observations about the relief cannabis provided. After being sidelined by brain injury and other disabilities, I've performed a few "clinical trials" of my own, so to speak. Contrary to some opinions about cannabis, the brain can be affected in many positive ways. 20 years later, considering my own brain's "regeneration" and Mechoulam's and other reports on the neuroprotective antioxidant qualities of the flower, there's been no doubt, cannabis has played a big role in my cognitive, emotional and physical recovery.

    From other supporting research below: "Pre-clinical trial TBI research suggests that cannabinoids have neuroprotective and psychotherapeutic properties".
    Dr. Staci Gruber, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, tested patients using cannabis as treatment. A number of control assessments were performed before the patients took cannabis and at various intervals in the months that followed. Dr. Gruber reports a marked improvement in "cognitive tasks requiring executive function", after only a few months. Gruber said that patients may be thinking more clearly because of symptom relief and less reliance on pharmaceuticals, like opioids.

    In TBI related studies, Biomedical researcher Dr. David Plurad found cannabis to be a "natural insulator for traumatized brains" and said it can "restore normal endocannabinoid function". His study states that the introduction of cannabis after a traumatic event can prevent PTSD like symptoms, lending support to the findings of Dr. Mechoulam. Dr. Plurad's report said cannabinoid compounds can help stabilize mood, ease depression and "are better at treating PTSD than SSRI antidepressants, which bring a host of negative side effects, including violent tendencies".

    When I started an outline for this article, I began with a list of benefits that I was aware of or had personally experienced. In researching, I found an almost identical list among the NLM pub med links below that also contains the cannabis compounds found to be effective for each listing. I'll be posting both lists in the comments section later.

    If I were asked for my "conclusion" about cannabis and people with IDs, I'd simply point to "all of the above", along with every word written and artifact found throughout time. The evidence for Kaneh Botanicals, appears to have been "written in stoned" across the planet, for thousands of years. The healing power of "Natures Pharmaceutical", seems to regulate, relieve and "regenerate" my systems and symptoms, in ways, too many to mention. Having several physical and invisible disabilities, that bring a variety of effects, without the medical benefits cannabis affords me, I would be significantly, more limited. The ability to sleep, the appetite and pain relief are only a small part.

    With the clarity and focus it brings, as well as a sense of well-being and peace, I'm better able to tackle some of the extremely difficult and unusual challenges life has handed me, while still maintaining positivity, motivation and sense of humor. I been able to do so many things I never thought I'd be able to do again following my accident and exposure, and things I've never done before. I certainly would never have been able to write any of the contributions that I've been allowed to share here. In the time when I had trouble making coffee, I also could not write a coherent sentence. With the debilitating effects and the fact that there is no currently "approved pharmaceutical interventions to improve" TBI outcomes, the improvement in many areas of my life, has been undeniable.

    For anyone who's been on the fence in consideration of turning to Kaneh Bosm as medicine, I leave you with the following statement from the medical experts' findings, found in the National Library of Medicine (NLM):

    "The inherent polypharmaceutical properties of cannabis botanicals offer distinct advantages over the current single-target pharmaceutical model and portend to revolutionize neurological treatment into a new reality of effective interventional and even preventative treatment.".

  10. Visited a local LGS today - Comic World & Games in Dubuque IA. Nice folks, nice set up and even a nice selection of alt/indy games and books!

    I'm hoping to run an all day old school D&D marathon ala Tower-of-Gygax style (drop-in, if table's full/someone's waiting, give up your seat when you die or after an hour).

    I also picked up a starter set of Pendragon - I think this might be a fun 1x1 game to run with Mrs. Chgowiz! She loves Arthurian legends!
