It is with profound sorrow and eternal gratitude that we wish a grand farewell to our dear friend Robert Weir. Bob was always full of restless hope and a burning desire to do good in this world. He once said that his success was due to the ever-present sense of adventure that was the very heart of his music and that the hearts of his audience resonated with the same rhythms. His adventure will continue on with all those he inspired over his incredible life. We know the big reunion on the other side will be felt as a surge of joy in the cosmos. And we hope everyone joins us in a big wolf howl farewell for our @BobWeir. Thank you for the amazing ride. Sincere condolences to Bob’s beautiful wife Natascha and his lovely daughters, Chloe and Monet. We love you so much and are pleased to have grown close over the years despite life on the road. We honor this cosmic entanglement within the band and all of those around us; we love you. Love and joy to everyone, The Garcia Family 📷 Adrian Boot / Retro Photo Archive | Rosie McGee | Herb Greene | Peter Simon

@DNIGabbard @POTUS Earhart’s records were not classified in the sense that the government hid from the public. Records were either incomplete, lost, misfiled, or temporarily restricted under normal government archival rules. That later created a myth that they had been intentionally “classified.”

Beginning today, at @POTUS' direction, records related to Amelia Earhart's final flight and disappearance 88 years ago will be declassified and shared with the American people. These records include reports, maps, and other documents tracing Earhart's final journey, her last known communications and location, and the initial search following her disappearance. Thanks to President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, a historic initiative is underway to digitize and publicly release these records from across the federal government, including newly declassified files today from @NSAgov. As agencies identify additional files, the new documents will be uploaded to @USNatArchives on a rolling basis, alongside those previously released, at archives.gov/ameliaearhart.

🚨STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING! Hemp banning language has officially been added to the legislation to open the government. RIGHT NOW, we need YOU to email your Senators to ensure that Senators are voting YES on Sen. Paul’s amendment to fix this: >hempsupporter.com/bill/stop-hemp…

We ate at Cracker Barrel this morning, and decided if they didn't need their old logo, maybe we could use it!

Three years ago, Billy Strings sat in with The String Cheese Incident for a marathon hour and a half second set Grateful Dead medley that included Brown Eyed Women, Peggy-O, Estimated Prophet > Eyes of the World > The Other One > Shakedown Street. The Sunday show was originally billed as The Phil Lesh Incident and was supposed to feature SCI with Phil Lesh, but after Phil fell ill at the last minute, Cheese called in Billy Strings to take his place. This clip picks up at the segue into The Other One. #stringcheeseincident #billystrings #bmfs #phillesh #gratefuldead #sci

The governor of Texas has the opportunity to champion the billion dollar hemp industry he created when he signed HB1325 into law in 2019. We are once again calling on @GregAbbott_TX to veto total hemp ban SB3. Like and RT if you agree.

If SB 3 is signed into law— full-spectrum CBD and countless legal hemp products Texans rely on for relief will be illegal. Rep. Oliverson says these products are “dangerous.” But let’s be real: 🚫 0 deaths. 0 overdoses. 💊 Meanwhile, pharma profits soar—and so do their donations. He says T-CUP is the answer. But that program: ⚠️ Requires veterans to join a state registry ⏳ Offers no timeline for affordability 🚫 Still bans the products Texans actually use We’re calling on @GregAbbott_TX to veto #SB3 and stop this attack on small businesses, veterans, and everyday Texans. 📢 Tag @GregAbbott_TX 📲 Share this post #txlege #texashemp #vetosb3

Are fungi conscious? While still debated in scientific circles, researchers are beginning to uncover just how complex and responsive fungi truly are. Without a brain or central nervous system, they navigate their environments, exchange nutrients through vast underground mycelial networks, and adapt to minute environmental changes with remarkable precision. Some call this intelligence. Others argue it’s time we expand our definitions entirely. Fungi have long been overlooked — but the more we learn, the more they challenge our assumptions about consciousness, intelligence, and life itself.

In a landmark decision, the Kerala High Court ruled that mushrooms, including psilocybin mushrooms, are not narcotic or psychotropic substances under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. This ruling came during the case of Rahul Rai, arrested in October 2024 for possessing charas, marijuana, and 226 grams of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The court emphasized that mushrooms are natural fungi, not mixtures, and thus fall outside the NDPS Act’s purview.  This decision sets a significant legal precedent, potentially influencing future cases involving psychedelic substances like psilocybin mushrooms. It underscores that substances not explicitly categorized under the NDPS Act cannot be automatically treated as illegal or subject to its restrictions. The ruling also opens the door for discussions on potential legal reforms in India, especially concerning substances with medical applications. Advocates suggest that psilocybin-containing mushrooms, known for their therapeutic potential in treating conditions like depression and anxiety, could be considered for medical use under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. I think Mexico and Jamaica were first, now India. Will the rest of the world follow? Read more: newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/… Psilocybin Mushrooms & Fungi Legal for possession in Austria, Bahamas, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Nepal, Netherlands (sclerotia, not technically mushrooms). Some countries have decriminalized, and in some countries they may be technically illegal but the laws are rarely enforced. Please be careful, and comply with the laws where appropriate. When will Canada and the U.S. catchup?
