Rhode Island Marijuana Business License Lottery Blocked By Federal Judge Amid Challenge To Residency Rules: “CCC continued forward with its plan to implement the Act and its licensing scheme. The resulting fall-out will be, to be blunt, self-inflicted.”

New report from Canada's federal government shows marijuana sales are increasing as alcohol purchases decline—signaling an ongoing shift in consumer preferences.
"The decline in alcohol earnings...was the largest annual decrease since Statistics Canada began tracking."

🇨🇦 Alcohol sales in Canada continue to decline, while legal cannabis sales are still on the rise.
- Government data shows alcohol revenues dropped, while cannabis revenue increased +11.5%, reaching new highs. 📊

Legalizing Cannabis Actually Reduced Crime!
Places like Portugal (which decriminalized all drugs years ago) and Oregon (which did it in 2020) show positive results, including:
Less problematic drug use
Fewer people overcrowding jails and courts
Lower drug use among young people
Other health and social improvements

Out now:
Our AI team at Mila/McGill reveals how hallucinations arise in neural networks in global landmark study
In a five year effort, our lab has led a consortium across three continents to conduct the world’s largest study on how psychedelic drugs lead to instability and chaos that derails normal function in network circuits.
- Brain-scanning allowed to examine the activity changes inside neural networks in real time, as participants were under the influence of a psychedelic substance, compared to sober state.
- 10x bigger study than any previous brain research in psychedelics (>500 brain scans, hundreds of participants).
- Our study focused on psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), mescaline, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and ayahuasca.
- Main finding: 5 different drugs have something in common; they cause “flattening” of the hierarchy of network systems; higher information-generating networks form cross-layer short circuits with lower-level information-receiving network for seeing and hearing.
- Published in Nature Medicine; one of the most prestigious scientific journals.
Our systematic assessment explains key mechanisms of how hallucinations come about in human brain circuits.

🚨Twenty minutes of walking triggers measurable brain rewiring.
That timeframe should terrify every person chained to a desk. Twenty minutes. Not twenty days, not twenty weeks. In the span of a single episode of a TV show, your brain begins physically restructuring itself at the cellular level.
Neuroscience research reveals that this brief window of rhythmic movement activates gene expression patterns that had been dormant. Within those twenty minutes, your hippocampus starts manufacturing fresh neurons. Your prefrontal cortex begins strengthening synaptic connections. Blood flow to regions governing memory and executive function increases by 15 to 30 percent.
The implications destroy every excuse you've ever made about not having time.
Most people spend twenty minutes scrolling social media, watching random videos, or sitting in traffic. During that same period, they could literally be growing their brain. The opportunity cost is staggering. Every twenty minute block you remain sedentary is a twenty minute block your neural architecture remains static, aging, shrinking.
Researchers tracked office workers who took twenty minute walking breaks versus those who remained seated. The walkers showed immediate improvements in attention span, working memory, and creative problem solving that persisted for hours afterward. Their brains generated more alpha waves, the electrical patterns associated with calm focus and insight. The sitters showed declining cognitive performance throughout the day.
The twenty minute threshold reveals something profound about human neurobiology. Evolution wired our brains to expect regular movement. Our ancestors walked 5 to 10 miles daily while hunting, foraging, and traveling. The modern sedentary lifestyle represents a radical departure from the movement patterns that shaped our neural development over millions of years.
When you walk for twenty minutes, you're not just exercising. You're activating the biological programs that built human intelligence. The rhythmic gait pattern synchronizes brain waves across multiple regions. The increased oxygen delivery feeds neural tissue that's been starved by prolonged sitting. The gentle stress of movement triggers adaptive responses that make your brain more resilient.
Psychology studies reveal that twenty minute walks reduce cortisol levels more effectively than meditation apps, therapy sessions, or pharmaceutical interventions. Cortisol, the chronic stress hormone, shrinks the hippocampus and impairs memory formation. Walking doesn't just lower cortisol. It reverses the brain damage that elevated cortisol causes.
It's found that people who sit for more than 8 hours daily show brain patterns identical to patients with early stage dementia. Their hippocampi are visibly smaller. Their white matter is less organized. Their processing speed declines measurably with each passing year.
Twenty minutes of daily walking can prevent and reverse these changes.
The research suggests that sedentary behavior isn't just bad for your heart and muscles. It's a form of accelerated brain aging. Every hour you spend immobile, your cognitive capacity degrades in ways that compound over time. The good news is that those changes aren't permanent. The brain retains remarkable plasticity throughout life. But you have to activate that plasticity through movement.
Silicon Valley executives have started conducting meetings while walking. They report better decisions, more creative solutions, and clearer thinking. They've accidentally rediscovered what Aristotle knew 2,400 years ago: the best ideas emerge when the body moves and the mind follows.
Your brain evolved to think while moving. Sitting still for hours violates the fundamental architecture of human cognition. Every step you take sends electrical signals through your nervous system that say: stay sharp, build connections, generate insights.
Twenty minutes. That's all it takes to begin rewiring decades of neural stagnation.

Former DEA senior advisor says federal marijuana laws are "neither coherent nor evidence based" & do "immense damage"—arguing for a new "managed market access schedule" for cannabis & psilocybin with "capitalism controls" rather than criminalization.
