Expected and Unwelcome.

You know, I’m actually surprised...

With the tragedy having really affected global warming and with how industrial Japan has become these days, I’m actually surprised forest areas like this still exist in a place like this.

Well, it is Hokkaido. A lot of the country is taken up by wildlife; has been since the end of the war.

You can also thank Daisaku and Gundham’s efforts for making sure these places stay alive and thriving with wildlife. Lots of species of animals and plants would have gone extinct if it weren’t for them.

Let’s hope they can maybe do something about the toxic waterhole as well.

*Shuichi and Kyoko continue to walk through the open forest, looking around for any signs of Zetsubou tamperment.

One thing I don’t really understand is why Organization Zetsubou poisoned the river anyway. Sure, it could kill a couple of animals that drink from it, but it’s not like people use it.

From the way it looks, there’s no risk of it disrupting work at the power plant at the end of the river, so what gives?

Personally speaking, I don’t think Zetsubou’s goal was the river at all.

Whatever Zetsubou are doing at these labs, the river was a byproduct of. And that was bad in and of itself, so I dread to imagine what’s really going on.

...Right...

*Shuichi and Kyoko continue walking, however, neither of them are aware that they are being watched. As they walk past, a periscope, concealed by a pile of dirt, pokes up from the ground.

*Underneath the ground, the person looking through the periscope sees Shuichi and Kyoko converse, and chuckle quietly to themselves.

Hm...Well, I suppose it was about time someone ended up discovering this place...And one can never have too many lab rats...

*He turns around to greet two Monokuma’s, who enter the room.

Please...Escort our guests inside.

Okie dokie!

*The Monokuma’s salute

This is strange. We should have walked far enough by now.

Maybe the lab itself isn’t in the actual forest, but past it? I don’t know, the river does stretch quite ways d-

*CLANG!*

OW! Ooph *sucks air through teeth*

Are you alright!?

N-Never mind Ms Kyoko...I-I think I found it! Agh...

*Shuichi stubs his toe on something metal that pokes out of the ground, covered by dirt. Kyoko reaches down and brushes it away to reveal a large metal subject.

It’s a hatch. And a big one at that.

*She stands up and takes a radio, turning it on and speaking into it. Shuichi kneels down and starts brushing more dirt off the hatch to examine it.

This is Kyoko. Shuichi and I are in a forest where the river flows, and I think we’ve just found the lab. In fact, I think we’re standing on top of it. Track my location, and send a geo scan to where we are.

*She ends the radio call and kneels down next to Shuichi.

Yeah...there’s no way we’re going to open this by ourselves.

Agreed. We’ll just have to-

BEHIND YOU!!!

HUH!?

RAAGGH!

NGH! DUHUGH!

AAGGH!

*Shuichi shouts as he sees a Monokuma lunge at Kyoko. She avoids it in time with his shout, but jumps into the lunge of another and is pinned down. Shuichi is also tackled by to others.

Nrrgh! No!

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAGH!

Ngh...

Grgh...

*After a short while, the unconscious detectives finally come around, and wake up to find their surroundings have completely changed. They struggle to move, but their arms are tied back against

Shuichi? A-Are you alright...?

I should be asking you that...I feel a bit dizzy, but I’m fine.

*He looks around.

The layout of the room appears to be some kind of research station. And it’s texture seems like the interior to the hatch we saw earlier.

Which means we’re inside the lab now.

That would be correct.

...!?

*Kyoko and Shuichi suddenly hear a human voice coming from a figure concealed by a big chair at a nearby desk.

I have to sincerely apologize for the rough greeting. All I told them was to escort you inside, but...you know these beasts cannot be contained.

And you are?

Hmhmhm...

*The figure stands up and turns around.

I’m hurt, Mrs Naegi. You came all the way here to visit me, and you don’t remember who I am?

Hikaru Ando!?

Yes, yes, that’s more like it! Smart boy! You’ve found yourself a good one, detective~

Now tell me...What’s a lifeform like you doing in a swamp like this?

*Ando leans in and fiddles with his glasses, as if examining them.

As a matter of fact, we came here because we heard Zetsubou were holding you captive...and we planned to rescue you.

But it seems like that won’t be as simple as we thought. Sorry to state the obvious, but from the way things look, seems like you weren’t a hostage at all.

I don’t understand! You were with the Kisaragi Foundation years ago! And now you’ve changed your allegiance to Zetsubou!?

...

They’re using you as a hostage against your daughter! Surely they MUST have told you about it!? Or are you just pretending to swear allegiance?

If you are, you don’t need to lie about it.

I’m afraid you misunderstand, young man. You are the one’s who’s captured. You answer MY questions first.

But I’m actually quite pleased you enquired, so I’ll gladly respond.. Thanks to my dear friends at Zetsubou, I have been given a chance of a lifetime. A chance to bring humankind into a new era. One where they will THRIVE!

“Thrive” how?”

I wish I could demonstrate, but unfortunately my latest batch of samples have already been stashed and ready to deploy. But I can show you this most recent developing batch while I’m at it.

*He goes over to a refrigerator, and pulls out a gross object.

*He holds it in his hand and it writhes around violently.

!!?

Hmhmhm...My finest work. You recognize it?

That thing! That’s a parasite! Those weird creatures that Zetsubou used to brainwash Gonta and Munakata!?

Hahahaha! Yes, yes, exactly! I’m so glad you remember! Aren’t they incredible!?

This will no doubt bring humanity into it’s next stage of evolution, when they can perform even the most trivial tasks without needing to think about it!

At the cost of their own free will!

Yeah, I’m sorry, but this isn’t convincing coming from the guy who POISONED the river!

An unfortunate byproduct, I will admit, but these little one’s need natural substances in order to gain life. Washing them in the natural water of the Setose River was all I could really think to do.

How could you do this, Doctor Ando!? All I’ve ever heard about you is that you’re a kind man who would risk life and limb to help people! But what I’m seeing now is a far cry from anything like that!

It makes sense...after all, he’s not himself right now.

Huh?

Don’t you get it Shuichi? Ando isn’t doing this of his own volition! He’s under the effects of his own experiment!

You mean he’s...!?

Yes...like Gokuhara and Munakata before him, he’s been brainwashed by these parasites...!

I AM NOOOOT!

*CLATTER!*

!!??

*Ando angrily kicks over a chair.

I am NOT brainwashed! I am EVOLVING! And soon...you will evolve too! We will ALL-!

???: Maaan, I really don’t get it. Even when he spouts about it all the time.

Huh?

Oh...so you were here.

Wait...

???: Gotta agree wit’ ‘dat! Humans are already the dominant species. Why you’s would wanna go even furthah beyond ain’t getting me.

???: But there’s something beautiful about it, don’t you think? Humans always love to rise above any challenges, and to do that, they crave to become stronger. It’s kind of epic!

???: HELL YEAH! I’m all about overdosin’ on that evolution kick!

Wait...! Those voices...!?

Shuichi?

Ah, right. Running a lab as big as this would take a lot of time on my own, so Ms Shirogane was kind enough to lend me some assistants. Why don’t you 5 introduce yourselves?

???: Oh! Is that the cue!?

???: Yeah, dumbass, that was OBVIOUSLY the cue! He just TOLD us to show ourselves.

???: OOH! Me first!

???: No idiot! HE’S gotta go first! He’s always first!

???: Aw!

???: Alright! Three...two...one...!

Oh no...!

Seriously Shuichi, what’s-!?

*Kyoko is interrupted as one by one, 5 small figures burst out from behind a table, and strike individual unique poses as they land!

Ta-Dah! Monotaro!

Wa-hoo! Monosuke!

Yippee! Monophanie!

SURPRISE. MONODAM!

HELL YEAH! Monokid!

RISE AND SHINE URSINE! WITH OUR POWERS COMBINED...WE ARE THE MONOKUBS!!

...!?

FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-!

7 Potential Health Benefits of Cannabis

Cannabis is a historical multidimensional, albeit controversial plant that is often controversial. The versatility and utility of cannabis has helped to propel cannabis into a variety of industries and products, particularly in the medical field.

Looking for buying online cannabis MJDirect is the cannabis marketplace for California, discover weed, CBD concentrates, Edibles, flowers, Vape pens, Topicals & More.

What do you need to be aware of about cannabis

There's plenty of research to understand cannabis, but we'll attempt to simplify the matter cannabis. It is composed of over 120 constituents that are referred to as cannabinoids. Cannabisbidiol (CBD) as well as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two of the most researched and well-known cannabinoids. THC is the one responsible of that "high" that many people are accustomed to when they smoke cannabis. CBD is an intoxicant-free, non-euphoric ingredient which you've been able to find in oils or gummies, as well as drinks and other items intended for use in medicine.

What do I CBD be used to enhance your health?

It's not a secret that CBD has gained a lot of attention and has even created a new business and you could obtain an education within Cannabis Entrepreneurship* at JWU. Researchers are still trying to determine how effective CBD can be utilized to treat medical conditions however, there are already some promising outcomes. Below are 7 ways CBD has been proven to be beneficial for health.

1. Lowering blood pressure

A study carried out at JCI Insight in 2017 found that CBD decreased blood pressure of humans. It decreased their blood pressure at rest as well as blood pressure following test of mental arithmetic, exercise with isometrics as well as the Cold Pressor Test.

2. Reducing inflammation

CBD has been found to reduce inflammation and neuropathy it causes according to a research conducted by The Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research.

3. Reducing the risk of relapse in drug or alcohol dependence

A study from 2018 revealed that CBD could be beneficial for those suffering from addiction to alcohol or drugs. A preclinical study using lab rats found that CBD helped to reduce the stress-induced cravings as well as anxiety and a the lack of control over impulses which can lead to get back into addiction.

4. Treatment of anxiety disorders

Anxiety is probably the most frequent affliction patients have utilized CBD for. A preclinical study showed that CBD can be beneficial for treating panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder Social anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder.

5. The treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) problems

A study conducted recently found that CBD as well as other non-psychoactive cannabinoids are effective in helping help treat and prevent GI ailments like IBS, irritable digestive syndrome (IBS) as well as IBD, inflammatory digestive disease (IBD) Crohn's ulcerative colitis, and many more. CBD's anti-inflammatory qualities are crucial in reducing symptoms and stopping them from occurring.

6. Preventing seizures

Research over the last decade has been conducted into the use of CBD to treat seizures and epilepsy A recent study has shown that it has positive effects in decreasing seizures and symptoms.

7. Fighting cancer

Not just has CBD been found to be effective in helping combat the negative effects caused by chemotherapy; but research have also revealed that it may slow the growth of cells and cause the death of cervical cancer cell lines. Additionally, it has many anti-cancer benefits that could help to prevent a number kinds of cancers and treat tumours and improve your immune system.

Beyond these benefits, there are others that are being studied and test. We're hoping that students enrolled in our Cannabis Entrepreneurship program will play a the leading role in shaping an exciting future for this business.

Can CBD Products Help Patients With Anxiety Disorders?

A new study shows that CBD products can help patients with anxiety disorders. Researchers examined the charts of 72 patients who used CBD products, and they found that anxiety and sleep disorders decreased. The study was conducted by Dr. Scott Shannon, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Colorado in Denver. While this study is still in its early stages, it provides evidence that CBD has many potential uses. In this link, you will get cbd products.

CBD is an extract of the cannabis plant, and it is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid. It is often sold as an oil-based capsule or vaporized extract, and it is used in a variety of beauty products and foods. In addition to its therapeutic use, CBD has been found to have a number of health benefits.

The use of CBD products should be regulated to avoid potential health risks. Research has shown that CBD has promising potential as a treatment for children with epilepsy. However, long-term effects are still unknown, especially when used at high doses. Because of this, health authorities are sending official warning letters to sellers and producers of CBD products.

CBD-based products can be taken orally, applied to the skin, or inhaled. Each form has its advantages and disadvantages. Oral products, for example, can be easily ingested, but have a slow onset of effect. Furthermore, CBD taken by mouth is absorbed through the digestive tract, making it hard to determine whether it has a lasting effect.

Some studies have shown that CBD can improve sleep quality. In the laboratory, it can improve the ability of mice and rats to adapt to stressful conditions, resulting in reduced depressive-like behavior and better sleep patterns. However, more research is needed to confirm these claims. Despite these encouraging results, doctors recommend that pregnant and breastfeeding women refrain from using CBD products. In addition, some women experience side effects that could harm their baby. It is best to talk to your doctor if you're unsure of the side effects.

As with other ingredients, the quality of CBD products should be checked for contaminants. Generally, third-party labs will analyze the final products to ensure their safety. As a result, the final products should be free of pesticides and heavy metals. The labs will also determine whether the ingredients contain cannabinoids or not.

It's important to remember that CBD products are not a substitute for disease-modifying therapies. If you're interested in using CBD for inflammatory arthritis, talk with your health care provider about your treatment plan. He or she can review your medical history and recommend a trial period. In addition, it's important to keep a daily symptom diary while using CBD. It's also important to note that CBD products are expensive, especially if you're using them for an extended period of time. Use these extra resources to get quality cbd.

Although a small percentage of people use CBD products, it's becoming increasingly popular for treating anxiety and other conditions. The industry is predicted to hit $16 billion in the United States by 2025. Several studies have indicated that CBD may be beneficial for heart health. For example, a study on 26 healthy men found that CBD significantly reduced blood pressure. The study showed that CBD also decreased arterial stiffness, which improved blood flow. However, more studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

The Growing Industry of CBD Products

In the United States, a growing number of cannabis businesses are marketing CBD products. Hemp-derived CBD is being marketed in a variety of ways, from oils to suppositories and nasal sprays. The cannabis-based plant extract has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including epilepsy and anxiety. The industry is predicted to reach $16 billion by 2025.

Anxiety disorders can impact a person's life in numerous ways, causing physical and emotional stress. These disorders can also lead to sleep problems, high blood pressure, chronic pain, heart disease, and other health complications. Studies have shown that CBD can help treat a wide range of conditions, including anxiety and depression. However, further research is needed to confirm these claims.

There is a need for a system to regulate CBD products and prevent unsubstantiated health claims. This system should include regular inspections and professional audits. It should also ensure responsible use of CBD products. This system will help to make sure that CBD products are safe to use in the long-term. However, it is important to remember that quality CBD products can be expensive, especially if they are used for extended periods of time. You are supposed to click this website right now to learn more about buying CBD products

Before buying a CBD product, look for a third party that has independently tested the product. This means an independent lab that has no connection to the company selling the product. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that 26% of the tested products contained lower concentrations of CBD than claimed on the labels. It is therefore important to look for a third party stamp or certificate of analysis on a product's label. In addition to this, check the website of the retailer for information about their products.

Cannabidiol is an oil extracted from hemp. In contrast to marijuana, CBD is extracted from plants that have very low levels of THC. It is often used as a topical application. The Farm Bill of 2018 has legalized the production of hemp products in the U.S. As a result, CBD products are legal in most states. However, some states still have laws that prevent them from being sold or used.

CBD oil can reduce inflammation and delay the onset of diseases. In one study, CBD oil was found to have neuroprotective effects in diabetic rats. CBD also improved the rats' memory and reduced nerve inflammation. In addition, CBD oil is known to reduce acne and other inflammatory skin conditions. However, more research is needed to confirm this. It is possible that CBD can be used to treat pain associated with multiple sclerosis. But, before it can be used for the treatment of this disease, it must be evaluated through clinical trials. Check out here: https://cbdpantry.co/

Whether CBD oil is for you or a loved one, it is important to read the label carefully. Some products are higher-strength than others. If you want to take CBD oil for health purposes, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist. Typically, adults consume 200 mg or less a day. However, if you're looking for a more potent supplement, you may want to consider prescription CBD such as Epidiolex.

This post will help you understand the topic even better https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp,

Final Earth Exports (Final Earth)

Final Earth is an AU in which Vanille accidentally opens a portal to an Earth very similar to ours by accident. The main differences is that nothing associated with the Final Rose universe (e.g., RWBY, Final Fantasy, etc.) exists there and they don’t have the same political leaders we do.

For the Children of Remnant, Earth is a veritable gold mine. There are huge quantities of resources (e.g., raw materials, food, etc.) and comparatively little danger. Obviously, Earth isn’t perfect, but we’re also not locked in existential battle against a bunch of monsters that spend all of their free time wondering how they can kill us all more efficiently. To get at those resources, what could Remnant export to Earth?

Let’s have a look at some possibilities.

Energy Simply put, Remnant is centuries ahead of Earth in power production. Final Earth is set when Fraise is in her twenties, so Remnant already has access to not only hyper-efficient fission reactors but also fusion reactors of all kinds. As in, they literally have portable fusion reactors and fusion reactors that can be scaled from small enough to fit into a closet to large enough to power entire continents. They’ve also got a functional orbital solar collection system/death ray.

Imagine you’re Australia (the portal opens up to the middle of the Australian desert). Now, one of the things people complain about the most is cost of living, and a big part of that is electricity. If Remnant were to build a power plant for Australia, they could massively reduce the cost of electricity. This would benefit not only regular people but also industry and commerce. Moreover, Australia’s political leaders would love it.

Want to get re-elected? Tell everybody the cost of electricity is going down by at least 75% and watch the votes just roll in, not to mention the reduction in the cost of goods and services. With drones to aid construction techniques, they could have a hyper-efficient fission reactor or a fusion reactor built in months, maybe less.

Medical Care One of the few upsides of waging existential war for centuries is advancements in medical technology. As long as you’re not dead, there’s very little that Remnant can’t fix. Earth humans are actually easier to fix since they don’t have complex Aura circulatory systems or anything like that.

Setting aside medical science, there are also a whole heap of Semblances like Fraise that would, by Earth standards, be considered miracles.

Not only would exporting medical care be extremely profitable it would also be another fantastic means of securing political support. Again, any leader would leap at the chance to be able to tell their constituents that all those medical problems they have can now be dealt with. This might sound awful, but can you imagine what it would do for a leader’s polling numbers if they could point at Remnant and say to people: don’t worry, that terminal illness you’ve got, that paralysis you’ve got? No problems. They can fix it. Just vote for me, and I’ll get the deal done.

Reproductive Science The cost of fertility treatment is enormous and results are not guaranteed. That’s not an issue for Remnant. Give them two people, and they’ll have a baby ready to go before you know it. Like the other exports, this is another automatic win in the public relations department (you just know Jihl and Jahne are going to push this angle hard).

Transport Remnant has way more advanced transport like actual flying warships, transports, etc. I can think of plenty of world leaders who might want a stealth capable aircraft that can manoeuvre like a more agile helicopter but packs the speed of a fighter jet and the range of a commercial jetliner.

Tourism Let’s be blunt. People like cute and awesome stuff. Remnant has plenty of both. I’m sure people would pay handsomely to get to ride a chocobo or to see some of the wildlife in Remnant. It’s like Jurassic park except instead of just giant reptiles, you can get giant tigers, giant rats, giant birds, giant... everything, basically.

Culture Earth loves heroes. We make sportspeople, celebrities, and so on into heroes and put them up on pedestals. How might Earth people react when they have a chance to see actual superheroes with actual superpowers in action? I have a sneaking suspicion that hunters will become super popular on Earth, and that tournament and hunting footage will make piles of money. And that’s not counting other aspects of Remnant’s culture and civilisation that might be popular. Yes, you know what I’m talking about. Remnant has actual cat girls. The internet would explode.

Weapons Yeah, Remnant kind of has the whole weapons thing down. Even if they don’t give out their most up to date weaponry, they’re still decades, maybe even further ahead of Earth. After all, this is a civilisation that has functional laser weapons, mechs, aerial warships, rail guns, plasma weapons, orbital death rays, etc.

Mercenaries There are plenty of battles being fought on Earth. Can you imagine what even a lower-level hunter would be able to do on the battlefield? Heck, imagine what the average student at Beacon would do to human opponents who don’t have Aura. It’d be like sending superheroes out to fight civilians.

Of course, you could also go a step further. Imagine someone like Snow being deployed onto a battlefield. That blue giant of his is capable of standing up to nukes and has attacks that are considered weapons of mass destruction. Imagine Lumina taking the field. Imagine Elsa.

Other Services This is a category that kind of lumps together all of the other stuff Remnant can do that Earth can’t. Take someone like Elsa. Do you have a weather problem? Is your country suffering from draught or about to be hit by blizzards/hurricanes? No problem. Pay the fee, get it fixed. Quick and easy. Guaranteed. Have a science issue? Vanille and her lab can get it handled. Want someone to interrogate your suspects? Pay the right price, and Jihl has you sorted.

Gary No world is safe.

X X X

Author’s Notes

Earth meeting Remnant would be fascinating. Of all the nations on Remnant, I think Atlas would be the most interested since they have the most difficult position in terms of territory and resources. It’s a good thing they’ve got Jihl to go snooping around for deals. It’s not like she won’t take shameless advantage of the situation...

If you’re interested in my thoughts on writing and other topics, you can find those here.

I also write original fiction, which you can find on Amazon here or on Audible here.

Overgrown Metal

Series Summary: Almost two decades ago, the fae rose up from beyond the veil with technology far surpassing the human race, quickly taking over after laying waste to nearly everything in their wake. Now eight paths cross to right the wrongs on both ends, working to uncover secrets that would have rather stayed hidden

Chapter 5: Bow With Hope

Summary: Enter Patton.

Trigger Warnings: death mention. If i missed any please let me know.

General taglist: @im-an-anxious-wreck (if you’d like to be tagged for all works or specific ones feel free to ask!)

Patton sighed gratefully as the great doors closed behind him, quickly straightening before anyone could see and hurrying down the main street to the tallest building before anyone could catch him and ask too many questions. His jaw clicked painfully as he tried to subtly stretch it out and hoping no one would notice just how fast he was blinking behind his rather large glasses. Too many potential questions, too many potential conversations, too much of everything and honestly why wasn’t he there yet he was in impeccable shape and walking fairly quickly and-

He nearly crashed into the front doors of the building not having noticed tripping his way up the steps. Blinking a few more times he shifted his pack to one shoulder somewhat painfully considering its weight and nudged the door open slowly and just enough for him to fit through, slipping in fast and shutting himself and the inside away from any potential prying eyes. Dropping the pack carefully he slumped against the frame and let his eyes adjust, the milkiness nearly cleared from his vision as he stretched his mouth open as wide as it would go. Being mute outside the walls didn’t give you many opportunities or use for that matter for opening it very often, defaulting to clenching his jaw an unhealthy amount and making it a relief when he finally returned to his city and no longer had to worry about keeping up any pretenses.

Looking around revealed an unsurprisingly empty lobby, the converted hotel expanded almost impossibly wide and making the light fixtures work twice as hard to banish the shadows from the furthest reaches of the room. Several staircases led up and away to various sections of the building, though only a couple led down into the depths where he and others of his current status were rarely ever permitted to tread. Waving away the sadness that threatened to swell at the thought he simply sighed again and hoisted the pack back over his shoulder, oddities from a nearby Undercurrent ratting softly within it. He wondered briefly what the residents of the underground towns actually called themselves- certainly something better than the blatant derogatory name Societies had given them. The nicer ones were nearly identical to Patton’s own city: well structured layers of markets and power plants and homes all buried safely beneath the ground to adapt to their rapidly changing environment.

Of course he wouldn’t care to live in one...he didn’t even really care to be living in a Society despite the “safety” it promised him especially being as high up as he was. Given the choice he’d be a wanderer as so many were now, refusing to settle down where either roots or branches would eventually chase you out or kill you as you tried to hold them back. Vast open plains were really only a temporary solution as wildlife continued to grow and shift and spread without mercy or care for what it was destroying to create whatever ideals were behind it. Shaking his head once again he made his way to the nearest staircase. There’d be time for thinking later...maybe. For now he needed to deliver what he managed to find and hopefully it would be enough to pay him with a day pass to the cemetery; his superiors didn’t want the past to hold anyone back which was fine with Patton- it just meant he worked incredibly hard to be able to earn his time with who he had lost.

Finally getting to the door he needed he took the time to give his jaw one final stretch, mouthing out a couple words to practice their shapes before he had to talk again. His vision had finally cleared fully leaving his dark brown curls the only thing obstructing his vision. Carefully they were pushed up and away, tucked neatly behind his ears before he smoothed the front of his still dirty tunic. Wincing he tried in vain to brush as much of it off as he could only to give up after barely half a minute as the dirt made it clear it was there to stay. Stern voices chiding him for his lack of professionalism were waved away quickly. His job was tough and dirty and there was really nothing he could do to help with that unless they decided to transfer him to a different purpose. These assurances fell somewhat limply as he sucked in a breath. He would never trade his purpose for anything, dangerous as it could be and even with the added drawbacks. He was free to roam out there- within a time frame but still. He could see how the world was progressing and how life was coping, he could see grass and “trees” rather than the industrial colors of his Society, and most of all he could look for-

Gripping the straps he straightened one final time and placed his hand on the door knob. There would be time for thinking later; right now he had a job to finish. Swinging open the door before he could change his mind he stepped in, head down and shoulders back before shutting the door behind him. Nothing happened for a full minute, the only sound in the room Patton’s own quickly beating heart and the gentle tinkling in the bag as the trinkets shifted with his fidgeting, Five minutes had passed before he slowly lifted only his eyes to scan the room, realizing with a start that he was completely alone.

Cheeks burning with slight embarrassment he walked forward towards the thin envelope with his name on it on the wide oak desk. Placing the pack beside him he opened to reveal a small wad of twenty dollar bills and a note most likely written by the direct herself.

Patton,

If your past findings have been anything to go by this should be enough to pay you for what you’ve brought back this time, though action will be taken if my assumption is incorrect. The day pass included was taken from your pay, I took the liberty of sparing you a trip.

Faris

Blinking in surprise he quickly shuffled his pay to find that there was, in fact, a day pass included. His stomach squeezed uncomfortably at the thought of his routine being known so well but the organization he worked for was a rather tight knit group so in the end he supposed it made sense. He nudged the bag closer to the side of the desk and turned to leave, only briefly wondering why the director hadn’t been there this time before quickening his pace back towards the way he came. If he hurried he’d be able to use it now; he’d scarcely thought of much else his entire trip outside the walls.

Walking as quickly as he dared through the silent lobby he found the long familiar flight of stairs and hurried down them, barely stopping ;long enough to shove the pass through the slot before nearly crashing into the second door he hadn’t been paying attention to today.. Schooling his annoyed expression as the pass was logged he reached immediately for the door as he heard the beep, mood sobering immediately as the cold musty air hit his face. The cemetery was a quiet place, as they so often were, and hung heavy with the warm smell of earth contrasted just shy of unpleasantly with the crisp air of the underground cavern. Here the dead lay still in whatever a family could scrounge to wrap them with, most only in their best clothes laid as carefully and respectfully as possible in the holes dug by those who cared for them. Families weren’t allowed to see the dead laid to rest, too painful a thing to watch with the limited amount of technology they had, the director had said. Patton would have gave everything- he glanced up at where his feet had automatically taken him. His son’s grave.

His tight smile turned genuine as he kneeled in front of the stone, tears already pricking his eyes as he stared at the name written there. He brought his arm up slowly, palm resting on the corner of the smooth stone he had picked out himself: smooth and just big enough and slate gray with obsidian cracks spidering at the side. He always liked smiling in the cemetery, hoping that if God forbid his sin’s soul lingered he would see his father smiling and be comforted. He knew if he was ever a spirit he wouldn’t want to see his family mourn him, pain cracking their usually cheerful features. No. He’d rather them smile with the memories of their time spent together, and especially for his young child, he smiled as wide and as long as he could, simply absorbing the silence and trying his best to turn the cool indifference of the stone into warm comfort with the simple touch of his palm.

“I always wondered who it was you put all your hard earned savings towards. Though I’m deeply curious patton: if you’re mourning him down here, then why look for him up there?” Patton froze at the cold words tossed at him so carelessly, matching the rest of the room and sapping what little warmth he himself had left to offer. Standing carefully he schooled his face into what he hoped was an open expression and turned, meeting the deep brown eyes of Director Faris.

She really shouldn’t be this intimidating he thought to himself as he bowed his head. The director was his height and only slightly chubbier, dark suit with a crisp lab coat laying carefully over it filling the picture of professionalism. Really the only thing scary about her was the necklace she wore with their society emblem carved into a small pendant, the snarling muzzle of a dog glinting in the low light. Her stern gaze never wavered from him, much as he wished it would, and the air between them had grown incredibly uncomfortable by the time she cleared her throat to indicate he could answer.

“Blind hope I suppose.” He offered weakly. “Thank you f-”

She waited patiently for him to clear his suddenly very dry throat, trying desperately to clear the gravel of disuse from his voice before he tried to speak again. “Thank you for including a pass with my pay, the saved trip is greatly appreciated.”

“Blind hope that he survived and somehow escaped your notice for ten years?”

“A father knows.”

“So does a leader.” Faris stepped forward and laid a hand on his shoulder. “You always have so much trouble simply letting go Patton. Let the past be.”

Patton bit back the retort of his purpose that was given to him by the director herself was finding relics of the past along with whatever could be made from present materials to bring back to the city. His purpose relied on the past and people finding new ways to innovate it so it fit into the future. That to simply let the past go- well, wasn’t so simple. He cast a longing gaze to the smooth stone sitting obliviously in the dirt, Faris’ eyes following sharply.

“Whose body do you think is down there if not your son’s? How little respect do you have for us if you think we would deceive you on such a personal level?” Patton felt a wave of guilt wash over him at those words, looking down shamefully. “Have faith, Patton. This world has no more room for questions.”

As the director's hand fell from his shoulder at last she gestured as she turned away, taking confident strides to the stairs. “Follow me when you’re ready; I have other things to discuss with you.”

Pressing his lips together, Patton took one last look at the grave marker. Doubt curled not for the first time in the back of his mind, an ever growing sapling digging its roots ever deeping in the bed of questions he had surrounding the Society in which he lived and the people put in charge of it. As one of the head researchers it didn’t sit right with him that Faris allowed so little to be questioned, instead offering up faith as the sole reason to follow whatever whim the higher ups decided to pursue. He worked only a small branch of the Society, so much was left behind closed doors he very rarely if ever had access to. There was always, always room for questions.

“I will never stop looking for you.” He whispered quietly enough so he was sure faris wouldn’t hear before turning and hurrying towards the steps. “I promise you, Virgil.”

Scarlett could only watch as Duke curled in a tight ball as she whimpered. Tunnel Rat ran a hand the blondes head in his lap running his fingers through her hair.

Stress induced heats were painful for omegas. The only thing that could actually help was an alpha that said omega was already in a pack with. But no one from Duke’s pack was here. So the next best thing was another omega to try and help calm them.

The van reeked of pheromones.

Scarlett had ended up biting into her hand on multiple occasions to stop herself from doing something that would end up getting her in a world of trouble with her superiors and Duke discharged.

“Flint.” She mumbled.

Tunnelrat sighed.

“Sorry blondie, he ain't here to help you through this one.” He mumbled.

Duke let out a long whine.

“Can’t we put her on some suppressants?” Scarlett asked, she was starting to feel anxious as she stared at Duke. The redhead pulled out a necklace from her pocket and began to twirl the pendent on the chain between her fingers, a nervous habit she had been trying desperately to break through the years but it just kept popping back up when she was stressed.

“No. Those only work if you take them before a heat. At this rate those would only burn through her system before they could do anything. All we can do is wait this out.” Tunnelrat grumbled.

Scarlett sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

There wasn't anything she could do for Duke so she turned on her phone and began to watch the news of what had gone down mere moments ago.

-------------

As the group finally reached their destination. A small military base that hadn’t been to far away Scarlett jumped out of the vehicle.

Duke and Tunnel Rat had passed out and Roadblock clambered out and shut the door carefully.

The truck was practically soaked in pheromones.

The two alphas could still hear Duke’s small whines as she tossed and turned in discomfort.

“Major Catobo!” Scarlett called out at a tall beta.

“We just came from the Cobra lab in Springfield.” She said quickly.

“What happened out there, Lieutenant?” He asked.

Scarlett sighed as she turned back to the truck before turning back to him.

“Long story short, we’ve acquired proof that Cobra Industries is involved in things you wouldn’t believe.” She said handing him the device she had used to collect all her evidence.

Roadblock shot her a dirty look before stepping in front of the Major.

“Sir with all do respect but we lost a man today.one of the Omegas in our team is in a stress induced heat. We need to get her help!” Roadblock said firmly.

The back doors to the truck opened carfully and Duke stumbled out.

Scarlett winced at the sight of her.

Her skin was flushed and she was sweating heavily. Her light blonde hair was in diss art and sticking to her forehead. Scarlett was prett sure even the Major could smell the slick coming from her.

“We-We lost Weems.” She whispered. Her voice sounded harsh from crying.

“ Is this the omega?” The Major asked.

“Yes sir.” Scarlett responded quickly and firmly.

“ Then we need to get to the next Omega heat center as soon as possible.”

Scarlett nodded in agreement. Not noticing the look of fear in Duke’s eyes but Roadblock did.

“Sir she already has an alpha she doesn’t need to go to one of those places.” Roadblock growled.

“We will discuss it later. But right now we need to get this to General Abranathi right now. Everyone back in the truck!” He ordered.

As Scarlett began to rush them back to the truck Duke pushed back jabbing a finger at his chest.

“Sir! We lost a man back there! I need to check with base command.” She snapped trying to push past him but the beta pushed her back.

“And I need you to check with the General. That’s an order.”

Duke glared at him before she felt Scarlett pull her back into the truck.

As the General drove them Duke felt an uneasy feeling in her gut.

“Why? Are we being transported in a stolen civilian vehicle?” She panted.

“Relax” Scarlett demanded.

Roadblock pulled out his earbuds, disconnecting them from his phone. “Check this out!” He said as he walked to the others showing them his phone.

Duke felt her stomach drop as she saw her face on the news.

—————

Flint felt as if he would vomit as he watched the news.

“Authorities believe that robbery and sabotage were the motives behind today's explosion at Cobra Pharmaceuticals. Police seek a group of U.S. Army personnel led by this woman Lieutenant O’Hara.

He felt sick as the Alpha's face came on screen. But he felt bile rise as he saw Duke appear on video shooting at the Cobra officers. Her fangs bared, her blue eyes filled with rage.

As seen here the soldiers forced their way into a plant at gunpoint. Since the explosin resulted in at least one fatality O’Hara and her soldiers are wanted for murder. The soldiers consisted of two Alpha’s, two Omegas and one Beta that sadly lost his life”

Flint ran to the bathroom throwing up his meal as the reporter continued.

“If you see any member of this group contact local authorities immediately.

Flint quickly rinsed his mouth out with water from the faucet of the sink, spitting it out as he cleaned himself up before he left to find Lady Jaye.

He knew that if he didn't find them first they would probably shoot Duke and the others on sight. As he knocked the door as he walked in her office.

Without it, clients may doubt the correctness as well as safety of the item as well as not buy it. Some SARMs had actually been checked years before they were authorized for usage. Although costliness is a family member term, most users will certainly agree that the rates of SARMs are high.

Unlike individuals with bulimia, they do not typically follow this by getting rid of the food via, as an example, throwing up, though occasionally they could quickly in between binges. BED is not about selecting to eat big portions, neither are people who deal with it simply "overeating"-- far from being satisfying, binges are extremely stressful, usually including a much bigger quantity of food than a person would want to eat.

Typically when I stop with my steroids, my strength decreases and I am losing weight.

SARMs were really discovered by mishap in the 90s when cancer cells researcher James Dalton recognized the molecule andarine, or S-4, which came to be the first-ever SARM.

I obtained it for myself, not as much to be getting mass but more or less for after steroid cycle.

This would certainly be similar to a SARMS three-way stack that is usually ran with Ostarine, other than there is an opportunity of more dimension being put on while cutting. An excellent dosage for this technique would certainly be 3-5 mg a day for 8 weeks. LGD has revealed one of the most capacity of any type of SARM to place on size that can be considered a mass. rises, and also have had a considerable boost in calorie consumption.

Obesity and unsaturated fats (permalink)

Scott Alexander does a very deep dive into the literature on diet, weight, and saturated vs unsaturated fats.

https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/03/10/for-then-against-high-saturated-fat-diets/

The most important elements for me were first, the validation that something really has changed: average US adult men's weight went from 155lbs to 195lbs from the 1800s to today. The 90th percentile 1800s man weighed 185lbs, today, it's 320lbs. US obesity rates in the 1800s were 1%. Today, they're 25%.

But the usual culprits can't explain the change: they ate more bread and potatoes in the 1800s, for one thing.

In China, obesity rates were very low even with a diet dominated by white rice.

1970s France had 1800s US obesity rates, on a diet of "baguettes, pastries, cheese, meat. Lots of sugar, white flour, and fat."

It's true that some tactics (intermittent fasting, low-carbing) work for some people, but they're not what worked in 1970s France or 1800s USA. So if those things work, they're "hacks" – not an indictment of carbs or eating three meals a day.

There's a widespread theory that the change is driven by the switch from saturated to unsaturated fats, which was driven by spiking heart disease in the 1950s. It's likely this heart disease epidemic can be attributed to the vast increase in smoking a couple decades earlier, but the tobacco industry's denial machine meant that the blame fell on diet, and the US (and then global) diet's fat composition shifted dramatically.

We ate a lot fewer animal-derived fats and a lot more plant-derived fats. These fats had lots more Omega 6s and (to a lesser extent) 3s, and the ratio of these Omegas also changed dramatically, both in our diet and in our bodily composition. Intriguingly, these play a significant role in metabolism. There's a plausible ring to this whole business – particularly as a way of crisping up what we mean when we say "avoid processed foods." What is "processing?" Maybe it's doing something that requires vegetable fats.

Unfortunately, neither the literature nor the lived experience of experimenters support the theory. Studies don't support it. Meta analyses don't support it. Reddit forums skew heavily to people saying it didn't work for them (dotted with people for whom it did).

Which makes weight gain a mystery. It can't be (just) exercise: we're exercising more now than we did 40 years ago, and we're heavier now. Studies about causes are inconclusive overall, but clear that weight gain is more explained by diet than exercise. What's more, we're seeing weight gain in lab rats, pets and feral animals, so exercise seems an unlikely culprit here.

Alexander ponders other possible causes: plastics or other contaminants in our diet, or that it's a "ratchet" (once your weight set point changes, it doesn't change back.). Both have little evidence to support them.

He concludes that he's "more confused than when I started it," but will avoid unsaturated fats where possible, with the exceptions of Omega-3 rich oils (fish/olive oil).

I am likewise confused, but also better-informed than I was before I read his post.

The satiety index (permalink)

I lost ~100lbs in 2002/3 with a low-carb diet. The thing I immediately noticed when I started eating (lots) more fat and (lots) less carbs was that I was always satiated, with none of the food cravings that had plagued me all my life.

No other diet since has had that effect. I really struggle with cravings (and have put 50lbs back on through my 40s, though some of that is muscle from a much higher level of exercise). For me, satiety is the barrier to sticking to any diet. I don't just get ravenous, I get these all-consuming cravings that I can't put out of my mind, even if I resist them (and the longer I resist, the more likely it is that I'll really blow it out when I give in at last).

So I was really interested in this 1995 open access study, "A Satiety Index of common foods," which offers a league table of the foods that made subjects feel full.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/15701207_A_Satiety_Index_of_common_foods

The meaty (heh) parts are in these charts on pp682-3.

Sensor Tower's VPNs and adblockers spied on users (permalink)

Sensor Tower, a company that made apps billed as privacy-protecting, installed man-in-the-middle certificates on your devices that let them spy on everything you did online.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/vpn-and-ad-blocking-apps-sensor-tower

They made 20+ VPN apps for Android and Ios, but didn't disclose that all those apps were owned by analytics company, Sensor Tower. The apps had names like "Free and Unlimited VPN, Luna VPN, Mobile Data, and Adblock Focus."

The apps installed a "root certificate" in users' devices. With this cert, the company could insert itself in all the device's otherwise secure, encrypted sessions – web browsing, email, etc. Sensor Tower admits that they collected data using this cert, but insists that it was "anonymized," which is something most computer scientists agree is likely impossible for this kind of data. Re-identification of anonymized data is devilishly hard to avoid.

The claim is made even less credible when you listen to the company's other claims about its practices, such as the idea that they hid the authorship of their apps "for competitive reasons."

Or this howler: that "the vast majority of these apps listed are now defunct (inactive) and a few are in the process of sunsetting." Well, yes, they were removed for violating their users' privacy. It's not like the company had a change of heart or anything.

And then there's this: "Apple and Google restrict root certificate privileges due to the security risk to users. Sensor Tower's apps bypass the restrictions by prompting users to install a certificate through an external website after an app is downloaded."

Twitter's new Terms of Service help academics(permalink)

Twitter just published a new, and much-improved developer policy, one that permits academics to field bots for research and auditing purposes.

https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en_us/topics/community/2020/twitter_developer_policy_update.html

"Researchers will be able to share an unlimited number of Tweet IDs and/or User IDs, if they're doing so on behalf of an academic institution and for the sole purpose of non-commercial research, such as peer review."

https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/10/twitter-rewrites-developer-policy-to-better-support-academic-research-and-use-of-good-bots/

Twitter's also creating a bot registry that must include contact info for the botmaster, so that "it's easier for everyone on Twitter to know what's a bot – and what's not."

https://developer.twitter.com/en/developer-terms/policy#4-b

Italy's "I Stay in the House" law (permalink)

The FAQ for the Italian government's "I Stay In the House" decree is a fascinating document:

http://www.governo.it/it/articolo/decreto-iorestoacasa-domande-frequenti-sulle-misure-adottate-dal-governo/14278

Most notably, Italy has kicked out its tourists. As Bruce Sterling writes, "It's a tourist-ectomy. An Italy devoid of all tourists. It's fantastic, unheard-of. Surely this hasn't happened in at least 700 years."

https://www.wired.com/beyond-the-beyond/2020/03/stay-house-decree/

People are allowed to go to work, to shop, and to run errands, provided it is for an "essential purpose," which you must prove "by means of a self-declaration which can be made on pre-printed forms already supplied to the state and local police forces. The veracity of the self-declarations will be subject to subsequent checks and the non-veracity constitutes a crime."

Business travelers are permitted to enter and leave the country, cab, delivery and freight drivers are allowed to do their jobs, and "outdoor motor activity is allowed as long as not in a group."

Public offices are open. Training activities are suspended. Government offices need to provide hand santizer, but if they run out, they have to stay open ("disinfectant is a precautionary measure but itstemporary unavailability does not justify the closure of the office").

Bars, pubs and restaurants may open from 6AM to 6PM, but have to cancel live music, games and screening events. Theaters, cinemas and museums are closed.

Schools are closed. Universities are closed. Exams and graduations will be conducted by video-link. Med schools are not closed. Research institutions are not closed.

Masses and funerals are canceled. Islamic Friday prayers are canceled.

Farms are open.

Scam-buster hacks into a scam-factory (permalink)

Jim Browning is a talented and prolific scambaiter. He calls the numbers listed in pop-up tech support scams and has the scammers log into a specially prepared system that lets him trace them.

In his latest adventure, Browning thoroughly turns the tables on http://Faremart.com , a Delhi travel agency that was the front for a sprawling network of tech-support scammers taking in millions every year through fraud.

Browning not only traces the scammers: he breaks into their unsecured CCTV network so he can watch them work. He compromises their phone system and listens to the recordings of all their scam-sessions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le71yVPh4uk

He gets hold of their ledgers, which list how much money each scam nets for the gang. He doxes the scammers and learns their real names. He gets a confederate to fly a drone over their HQ and maps out their comings and going.

In part II, Browning treats us to a delightful scambaiting session in which he mercilessly trolls a scammer who claims to be in San Jose, CA, tripping him up in a series of ever-more-desperate lies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV-qa9M-o4E

It's part of a growing genre of journalists who explore and document the operations of overseas scam operations. See, for example, Reply All's excellent podcasts on this:

https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/6nh3wk https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/76h5gl

There are two more parts to come in Browning's series (you can watch them now on his Patreon, apparently):

He also turned his footage over to the BBC's flagship investigative programme, Panorama, which has produced its own doc based on it:

Yesterday, the Senate Subcommittee on Intellectual Property held hearings on "Copyright Law in Foreign Jurisdictions," at which two key copyright experts testified on last year's catastrophic EU Copyright Directive.

First up was Pam Samuelson, one of America's leading copyright experts, who explained in eye-watering detail how the compromises made to pass the Copyright Directive produced an incoherent mess that no one can figure out how to implement in law.

Next was Julia Reda, who served in the EU Parliament during the passage of the directive and helped spearhead the opposition to it.

Her testimony really shows you where the bodies were buried: how the EU knew it was making a pig's ear out of things.

https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Reda%20Testimony.pdf

Both are essential reading for anyone striving to understand Article 17 (formerly Article 13) – it is such a tangle of garbage lawmaking that these kinds of guides are indispensable.

Podcast: A Lever Without a Fulcrum Is Just a Stick (permalink)

I've just posted my latest podcast: a reading of my new Locus Magazine column, "A Lever Without a Fulcrum Is Just a Stick," on how copyright failed artists and enriched corporations and what we can do about it.

https://craphound.com/podcast/2020/03/11/a-lever-without-a-fulcrum-is-just-a-stick-2/

Tldr: Giving monopolies to artists doesn't help them gain leverage over the super-concentrated entertainment industry, because the corporations control access to audiences and force artists to sign away those monopolies to get past their gatekeeping.

The more monopolies we give artists, the more monopolies are transfered to corporations, and the more they dominate the market and thus the more they can retain from the earnings generated by the artists' works.

Fights like the EU Copyright Directive are a distraction, a fight over shifting some points from Big Tech's balance sheet to Big Content's – but without any mechanism to move more of that revenue to creators.

Enriching creators means thinking beyond more "monopoly"-style copyright: instead, we have to think about inalienable rights that can be taken away through one-sided contracts (like the "reversion right" that lets US artists take back copyrights after 35 years).

And we have to think beyond copyright itself, by beefing up competition laws to break up entertainment cartels, and by beefing up labor laws to let artists form unions.

There is a role for copyright, but in things like extended collective licensing that would allow all online platforms to access the same catalog and pay for it based on the number of users they have, so a new platform pays pennies while Youtube pays hundreds of millions.

These blanket licenses have been key to keeping other forums for artistic revenues open: think of what the world would be like if one club or radio station could buy the exclusive rights to play the hits of the day, and then use their ensuring dominance to squeeze artists.

What is CBD OIL?

CBD oil- most commonly known as "Cannabidiol ". CBD oil is made of more than 100 different chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. CBD compounds, known as "cannabinoids", react with a biochemical circulatory system in the body known as endocannabinoid system. A recently discovered network of cannabis receptors plays a critical role in psychological functions such as anxiety, sleep, back pain, muscle pain, mood, and appetite.

Probably cannabinoid, is known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the mixture used for most of the psychological effects such as THC, cannabidiol is also found in marijuana. But not like other THC, cannabidiol does not produce intoxication and does not make you feel "high".

Although CBD oil and hemp oil helps you with relaxation, sound sleep, and pain relief. Because the mixture is joined with a variety of health advantages but requires mind-altering outcomes, this is being sold as a treatment for insomnia, anxiety and other sleeping disorders in addition to issues such as stress, epilepsy, and muscle pain.

CBD oil can be produced artificially, and mostly harvested from industrial hemp. For the CBD oil crop, growers use the extraction compound to distribute CBD oils from hemp plant seeds and stalks. The oil is typically examined for cannabidiol content and used in a heating rule called decarboxylation, which helps the body react more easily with CBD.

From 2900 B.C Marijuana has been used to treat back pain or muscle pain. Experts discovered maximum components of marijuana, and also CBD, are good for its pain-relieving effects.

The Endocannabinoid system (ECS) is the specific function of the human body, which includes managing multiple functions such as, sound sleep, hunger, pain, appetite, and the immune system response.

The human body generates endocannabinoids, which are neurotransmitters and connects cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system.

According to scientists, CBD can help overcome chronic pain by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation and interacting with neurotransmitters.

Is CBD Oil A Safe Drug?

Several scientific lab tests confirm potential powers of this drug. For example, study on rats which were injected showed reduced pain response to the surgical incisions made on them. Another study found rats feeling less nerve pain and inflammation while on oral CBD treatment. Apart from studies conducted on animals, several human studies have found that a combination of CBD and THC is effective in treating pain related to multiple sclerosis and arthritis. This makes CBD Oil a very safe drug which not only helps in overcoming anxiety but also helps in back pain and other pain creating inflammations.

Does CBD Oil Make You feel high like Marijuana ?

CBD is a totally different composite from THC. Moreover, CBD's consequences are quite complex. It is not a part of psychotherapy, therefore it does not produce a "high" or influences a person's mind state. It influences the body and helps it to use its endocannabinoid more efficiently.

A study in Neurotherapeutics has found that this happens because CBD itself does little for ECS. it activates or inhibits other compounds in the endocannabinoid system.

CONCLUSION

So we have reached the end of this article in which we thoroughly discussed what CBD Oil is and how it's helpful in back pain and anxiety. CBD Oil is potent and has very effective naturally occurring ingredients which help our body fight pain by soothing the pain receptors. CBD is totally free of such drugs which makes you feel high like marijuana. With years of research on Animals in labs to human testing and now CBD is available for the general public to use and get its amazing natural benefits.

Top 5 Benefits Of Hemp Oil For Weight Loss

Cannabis is currently making waves in the medical industry. This is all thanks to that one natural compound found in cannabis plant– CBD, short for cannabidiol.

And now, it is taking the spotlight in the medical industry, promising lots of health benefits and symptom-relieving attributes. From reducing anxiety to fighting acne, CBD, or hemp oil has been dubbed as the miracle worker. Currently, researchers are also looking at the possible benefits of hemp oil for weight loss as well as reducing their risk of experiencing problems connected with a weight such as metabolic disorder and diabetes.

So, are there any benefits of hemp oil for weight loss? Or is it just another fast weight loss scam? In this article, we shall discuss the possible benefits of hemp oil for weight loss, including whether or not science and research actually back up the hype.

Hemp and CBD: What Are These?

Hemp is one of the many varieties of the Cannabis plant. As mentioned before, hemp has long been used in the industrial and clothing industry. Unlike the more popular known Cannabis variety, Marijuana, hemp does not make you high and addictive.

Both cannabis variety contains cannabinoids. However, marijuana contains higher amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) than hemp, which is the main cause of its high-inducing attribute.

Hemp, on the other hand, has a higher concentration of CBD (cannabidiol). Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t contain any psychoactive effects, so it won’t cause you to be twitchy addicts. Instead, it affects the body in other ways and is believed to stimulate particular receptors in order to reduce anxiety, pain, and inflammation.

This compound is also believed to stop anandamide breakdown, a chemical known as the “bliss molecule” in the brain. It allows anandamide to stay in the system for longer and helps in relieving pain as well as boosting brain functioning.

Not only that, but CBD also helps in regulating the production of cytokines– inflammatory molecules– thus reducing pain and inflammation. In addition, CBD is also being studied for its ability to help treat symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as epileptic seizures.

Are There Any Benefits of Hemp Oil For Weight Loss?

Cannabidiol has been purported to improve other aspects of your health. Today, it is even believed to help promote weight loss.

But, are the claims true?

1) Possible Metabolism Boost And Food Intake Reduction

Initial studies on CBD suggest that hemp oil or CBD may actually reduce food intake while boosting metabolism, which are key factors in promoting weight loss.

In animal studies, CBD has shown significant effects on the weight by interacting with the CB2 and CB1 receptors in the brain and lymphoid tissue. These receptors are through to play significant roles in food intake and metabolism.

Meanwhile, in a 2-week rat study, subjects were injected CBD every day at doses of 2.3mg and 1.1mg per pound of weight (5mg per kg and 2.5 mg per kg). Both doses did produce a dramatic reduction in weight, with the higher dosing having the most visible effect.

Take note: It was injected and not orally given.

In another study on rats, CBD has to lead to a dramatic reduction in food intake compared to other cannabinoids, including cannabinol and cannabigerol. While such results and benefits of hemp oil for weight loss seem promising, there are not enough human studies to support these findings, and more research is required to establish its efficacy.

2) May Burn Fat

Another claimed benefit of hemp oil for weight loss is that CBD can actually melt away fat in the body by breaking down your fat and eliminating it from the body as waste.

A 2018 research helps explain this claim. There are 2 types of fat in the body– brown and white fats. White fat is the most dominant form, responsible for the storage and supplication of energy while also cushioning and insulating your organs. This is also the type of fat mostly associated with chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes when accumulated in excess.

Meanwhile, the brown fat is responsible for generating heat by burning off calories. It is known that individuals with healthy weight have more brown fat than overweight individuals. You can convert white fat to brown fat by getting enough sleep, exercising, and exposing yourself to cold temperatures. Interestingly, studies show that CBD can aid this process.

A study found out that CBD causes the “browning” in white fat cells and even enhanced the expression of particular proteins and genes which promote brown fat. However, human research is still required to confirm these effects.

3) Reduces Risks of Metabolic Disorders

Another 2018 research revealed that there’s a close link between obesity a few metabolic disorders such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes.

Overacting CB receptors in the body can be partly responsible for this. For instance, overacting CB1 receptors in the fat tissue in the body can contribute to metabolic risks and obesity. CBD can help block off CB1 receptors, which also means reducing the risk of obesity.

In addition, A Cannabis and Cannabinoid REsearch review also noted some highlights of past studies surrounding metabolic factors and CBD, mainly in animal models.

For example, a CBD treatment has reduced the total cholesterol of obese rats by 25 percent. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of CBD also appeared to reduce blood sugar levels as well as increasing markers for liver health.

4) Marijuana Use is Associated With a lower body weight

Although most people think that marijuana use means higher food intake, those who use and addicted to marijuana products tend to weigh less than those who do not.

For instance, a research review in more than 50,000 people noted an obesity rate of 14 – 17 percent among those who used cannabis such as marijuana and hemp at least 3 days a week, compared to the 22 – 25 percent of those reporting no marijuana use in the past year.

Since CBD is prevalent in marijuana, it is likely involved in the relationship, however, it is still unclear how. With that said, scientists and researchers believed that the cannabinoids as a whole, including CBD, affect metabolism, appetite, and other weight-related functions of the body.

Considerations and Risks

While preliminary research results on the benefits of hemp oil for weight loss put forth some promising suggestions, there are several things that you need to carefully consider.

CBD, like most other supplements, compounds, or drugs, is not a treatment for obesity. These compounds and supplements don’t replace regular exercise and a healthy diet. An individual who likes to add CBD to their comprehensive weight loss plan without eating healthily and exercising regularly may not see any results or benefits at all.

At best, individuals can consider CBD and hemp oil as a complementary therapy. In addition, not all individuals are the same, and each may need a different dosage. Someone who regularly takes cannabis or has more bodyweight might need a higher dose. Meanwhile, someone who is highly sensitive to CBD or cannabis might only need to take small amounts of the compound to be effective.

Lastly, it is crucial that you work directly with a doctor when considering CBD or hemp oil for weight loss. You might also want to discuss any other medication that you might be currently taking since CBD can cause adverse interactions with other drugs.

What To Look For In CBD or Hemp Oil?

Here are the factors you need to look for when shopping for CBD.

1) Full-Spectrum VS. Broad Spectrum

Make sure to look for CBD products made with broad or full-spectrum hemp oil instead of isolate and distillate in order to get the full scope of benefits.

Full-spectrum hemp oils contain all the cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, including both THC and CBD. Don’t be worried about the THC content as it is required by law for manufacturers to only include less than 0.3 percent of THC so as not to induce the feeling of high.

If you do not want any THC contents in the hemp oil, then you can consider the broad-spectrum type since it contains most cannabinoids without the THC. However, research revealed that CBD and THC can work better when taken together than when taken alone. This phenomenon is called the entourage effect.

Not only that, both broad and full-spectrum hemp products are also less processed. This helps in the preservation of some of the volatile organic compounds of the plant such as terpenes.

2) US Grown, Organic Cannabis

In addition, you also need to look for products that are made from organic, US-grown hemp plants. Cannabis grown in the US is subjected to agricultural regulations and cannot contain over 0.3 percent of THC. In addition, organic ingredients meant that you are less likely to consume pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals.

3) Lab-Tested

Lastly, and most importantly, you need CBD products that are lab-tested by a third-party. Since CBD products are not currently regulated by the Food and Drug Administration or FDA, a lab-tested product ensures safety and compliance.

This should allow you to see exactly what you are putting into your body, and verifying that the product actually contains what it says on the packaging.

Forms of CBD Products

Edibles

Edibles are a discreet way of trying CBD. You can find various CBD edibles today including truffles, gummies, cookies, and even mints that do a great job of masking that “weedy” taste.

However, there are several caveats with edibles. Studies revealed that eating CBD subjects the compound to “first-pass effect”. During this process, CBD is broken down by the digestive tract and the liver. The result, the CBD can take an hour or two before it kicks. Not only that, since it is broken down, but you will also be able to absorb at least 20 – 30 percent of CBD.

Sublingual Products

Most edibles contain preservatives and sugar. So, if you don’t want additives, then you might want to consider sublingual CBD products. These products including tinctures, lozenges, oil, and sprays, are designed to be absorbed under the tongue. Letting the product absorb under your tongue instead of subjecting it to your digestive tract can preserve more CBD, thus faster results.

Topicals

CBD topicals are made to be applied directly to your skin. You can find hemp oil-infused lotions, creams, balms, gels, transdermal patches, and salves available today. Topicals are a great choice in terms of treating localized pain or some skin conditions such as eczema.

A 2015 study on rats showed that CBD gels greatly reduce joint swelling which offers promising results for people with arthritis and other joint-related problems. Although studies on topicals have not given a bio-availability estimated, we do know some things:

The permeability of the skin is pretty poor relative to mucous membranes such as sublingual tissues. This means that when using topical products, you will need to choose one with a higher concentration of CBD and generously applying it to your skin.

Topicals are not subjected to the first-pass effect, providing concentrated relief to a specific area.

Take note:

Using products that contain extra analgesics including camphor, menthol and capsaicin can even bring more potential therapeutic benefits to the mix.

Smoking and Vaping

You can now also smoke high-CBD cannabis flowers in a joint, inhale CBD concentrated such as sugar waxes with any vaping pens with a chamber for concentrated, or use a vaporizer with a cartridge that contains hemp oil.

Smoking and vaping allow the CBD to go directly into the bloodstream so that you will feel the effects much faster than other methods. In just 10 minutes or less, you will be able to absorb 34 – 56 percent of CBD.

However, there are a few things to note:

Smoking cannabis can actually expose you to carcinogens. Although vaping can circumvent this by heating up the cannabis to just below the point of combustion, its safety is still questionable.

If you go the vaping route, consider avoiding CBD vape cartridges that are made with thinning agents or carriers like MCT, vegetable glycerin, and propylene glycol. A 2017 study revealed that these compounds can actually damage the lung tissue.

Talk To A Professional

Although there are many ways for you to take CBD, there is no best or right way. It is important that you try different methods and see what will work for you. However, before you even try any CBD oil products, you might want to talk to a professional first, particularly if you are currently on any medications. AS mentioned before, CBD can interact with prescription medications such as blood thinners, antidepressants, antibiotics, and more!

Should You Try Hemp Oil To Lose Weight?

Although the benefits of hemp oil for weight loss is still unclear, it has been shown to improve your health in other ways. Plus, it is relatively safe with a little risk of side effects.

More research, particularly in humans, is needed to determine how hemp oil products affect the weight and whether it can help in losing weight. The findings and research that exist are relatively inconsistent and weak, however, they do show promising results.

So, instead of relying on the benefits of hemp oil for weight loss alone, it is best to try other scientific-proven weight loss methods, or if you want, incorporate CBD with these methods.

3 Science-Backed Ways To Lose Weight

Search for the keyword “weight loss” and you will be flooded with millions of results of how-tos as well as fad diets promising instant results. With that said, most diet plans will leave you unsatisfied or feeling HANGRY (it’s short for hungry + angry, btw).

If you really want to lose weight, you might want to follow the scientifically-backed ways. That and incorporating CBD oil in your weight loss plan can actually reap effective and satisfying results.

1) Cutting The Carbs

The first and most important step to lose weight is to cut back on the starches and sugars or carbs. Doing so will keep your hunger levels down, so you eat fewer calories. Read More: Ditch Dieting and Calorie Counting with CBD Oil for Weight Loss

Now, since you have lower carb consumption, the body will need to find a new source of energy. The body will start to burn stored, stubborn fats for energy. Another benefit of reducing your carb intake is that it helps in lowering your insulin levels, which causes the kidneys to shed excess water and sodium.

As a result, it reduces bloating as well as unnecessary water weight. Research suggests that a low-carb diet can help in reducing appetite, resulting in eating fewer calories without feeling hungry.

2) Add Veggies, Fat and Protein To Your Diet

Each one of your meals needs to include a fat source, protein source, and low-carb veggies. Also, try eating 2 – 3 meals per day. Now, if you find yourself hungry in the afternoon, you can add a 4th meal. By constructing your meals this way, you should be able to reduce your carb intake for up to 20 – 50 grams a day.

PROTEIN

Evidence suggests that eating lots of protein can boost your calorie expenditure by up to 80 – 100 calories a day. High protein diets can help reduce your obsessive thoughts about food and cravings by up to 60 percent, reducing the desire to snack at midnight by half and making you feel full. When it comes to losing weight, you need healthy protein sources. These include:

Plant-based proteins such as soy, legumes, and beans

Eggs Fish and seafood such as shrimp, trout, and salmon

Meat such as lamb, pork, chicken and beef

HEALTHY FATS

Do not be afraid of fats. Fats are essential for overall body functioning and can help in losing weight. Some of the best sources of healthy fats are:

Butter

Avocado oil

Coconut oil

Olive oil

IF you really want to lose weight, do not be picky about your veggies. Not only are they packed with nutrients but you can eat a huge amount of veggies without going over 20 – 50 net carbs a day. A diet based mostly on veggies and lean protein sources contains all the necessary vitamins, fiber, and minerals you for a healthy body.

Some of the best low-carb veggies include:

Kale

Broccoli

Cucumber

Cabbage

Cauliflower

Lettuce

Spinach

Brussels sprouts

Tomatoes

Swiss chard

3) Lift Weights 3x A Week

By lifting weight, you can burn lots of calories and preventing your metabolism from slowing down which is an annoying side effect of losing weight.

Research on low-carb diets shows that you can obtain a bit of muscle while also losing good amounts of body fat. You can try going to the gym 3 – 4 times a week in order to lift weights. You can even ask a trainer for some advice.

If you don’t like lifting weights, then you can just do some cardio workouts such as jogging, walking, cycling, running, or swimming. Both weightlifting and cardio can help with weight loss.

Final Thoughts

So, are there any benefits of hemp oil for weight loss? Well, the initial results of studies into hemp or CBD oil and weight loss are promising. However, it still requires more research into the connection between them. Remember, CBD or hemp oil may be helpful for people looking to burn calories, lose weight, or suppress appetite. However, it is important not to overstate these claims.

Until more research is done, it is best to rely on other more scientific-backed methods including plenty of exercises and a healthy diet in order to lose weight. You can also incorporate CBD with a comprehensive weight-loss plan which might cause faster and more effective weight loss results.

Lastly, CBD or hemp oil should not be used to replace any other medications that a person is taking for chronic diseases. We always recommend that you talk to your doctor before using CBD for any reason including weight loss, as it can interact with your current medications.
