Cooking with cannabis is such a satisfying experience, and can allow for more well being in your life if done so with intention. Southern Cooking I grew up in the South. Growing up southern (country southern, that is!) where you raced your friends up and down dirt paved roads bare-footed. I got yelled at for […] The post Cannabis Infused Chicken Parmesan appeared first on The Weed Blog . * This article was originally published here

Who hath gone up into heaven, and taken her [wisdom], and brought her down from the clouds? Who hath gone over the sea, and found her, and will bring her for pure gold? (Baruch 3:29-30) Cf. Romans 10:6,7: But the righteousness which is of faith speaking on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?

Marijuana, I shouldn’t have to tell you, grows naturally upon the earth and humanity has used the plant for its many medicinal and psychoactive effects for purposes as far ranging as ritual, medicine, industry, and of course, recreation for centuries.

...all my writing is done until Monday, Nov. 30 (shows are written through Dec. 11th). Tomorrow, God willing, we’ll record podcasts through Dec. 7. Sermon is done for tomorrow’s Matins at school; Prayers drafted for Saturday evening’s Divine Service. I think vacation is almost here, and am I ever ready. Last full week off was back in February, when we headed to Dominican Republic just ahead of the COVID storm. Then after thanksgiving break, back to work for three weeks, and hopefully then TWO full weeks off come Dec. 18th (well, except for preaching and celebrating for the Christmas Dawn liturgy and for the services for First Sunday after Christmas).. So looking forward to a little bit of a break! I love my work, but I’m also feeling fatigued. Ready to lay down the pen (or keyboard) for just a bit. And then to climb back in the saddle again! http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeedonsBlog * This article was originally published here

If we follow this, the monastic life will be no more a state of perfection than the life of a farmer or an artisan. These, too, are states for acquiring perfection. All men, whatever their calling, ought to seek perfection, that is, growth in the fear of God, in faith, and in love of their neighbor, and similar spiritual virtues.—Ap XXVII:37 It is written that when Anthony asked God to show him what progress he was making in his way of life, God pointed in a dream to a certain shoemaker in the city of Alexandria as a basis for comparison. The next day Anthony went into the city and came to the shoemaker to find out about his exercises and gifts. In his conversation with the man he did not hear anything, except that in the morning he prayed in a few words for the whole city and then paid attention to his business. Thus Anthony came to understand that justification was not to be attributed to the way of life he had undertaken.—Ap XXVII:38 http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeedonsBlog * This a...

When smart marketers launch a product in a crowded marketplace, they often search for an important quality or attribute that lets them stand apart from the rest of their competitors. That’s why Coke decided to call its zero-calorie soda “Coke Zero.” Decades earlier, it’s why Volkswagen marketed its new, tiny car as the “Beetle.” And it’s why conspicuously labeling a health and wellness brand as “organic” is a money-making strategy for the 21 st century. The strategy can be a trap, however. If it’s discovered that the brand doesn’t live up to its name, the clever name isn’t just useless. It could be a fatal mistake from which the company never recovers. That brings us to Joy Organics, a Colorado CBD company founded at the dawn of the legal cannabidiol era in 2018. It’s a terrific brand name – if the company’s products truly are organic and can live up to consumers’ expectations. As it turns out, Joy Organics doesn’t guarantee that their CBD is sourced from organically-grown hemp,...

From its earliest origins, the War on Drugs was designed to target racial minorities through arrest and incarceration. The War on Drugs was officially launched by Richard Nixon in 1971, but even long before that, laws restricting the use of specific substances were deliberately aimed at one minority or another who were disliked by the […] The post The War on Drugs and Race-Based Incarceration Rates appeared first on The Weed Blog . * This article was originally published here

It’s not easy to know how reliable some CBD producers really are. The government may have legalized the sale of CBD, but it doesn’t conduct testing or grant approval to CBD products on the market. That’s why it’s so important for would-be purchasers to look closely at the manufacturing processes used by CBD companies. It’s usually the only information available on whether the products are as good as the sellers claim they are. MedTerra is one step ahead of most of its competitors, though. The company is part of an innovative Kentucky program that requires approval for all hemp grown in the state and used to produce cannabidiol ( CBD’s full name ). Since the crops from which MedTerra’s CBD is sourced have to pass muster with state authorities, that’s automatically a good sign for product quality. The cannabidiol will automatically be “better” than some of the cheap generic products sold online, in local shops – and these days, even in some convenience stores and gas stations. How mu...

...hath a continual feast.” And is not this our calling, people loved by God? Has not Christ our Savior given us abundant cause for a merry heart? He Himself is the Propitiation for our sins and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world! He Himself has promised us “Whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.” He Himself has assured us through His holy apostle that He works all things for the good of those who love Him. He has promised us nothing less than the Kingdom. He consoles us that those we lose in this life who die in Him are not truly lost to us at all. He promises that He will wipe away all the tears from our eyes and that He cares for us so that we can indeed cast every care of our lives upon Him.  When we think of it, how can we NOT have a merry heart enjoying the continual feast that He has summoned us into? Luther once said that the devil is a sad spirit. True indeed. What sorrow is greater than definitive rejection of Him who alone is our joy and ou...

By the blessing of God, the priests in our churches pay attention to the ministry of the Word, they teach the Gospel of the blessings of Christ, and they show that the forgiveness of sins comes freely for Christ’s sake. This teaching really consoles consciences. They add to it the teaching of the good works which God commands, and they talk about the value and use of the sacraments.—Ap XXIV:48 The real adornment of the churches is godly, practical, and clear teaching, the godly use of the sacraments, ardent prayer and the like. Candles, golden vessels, and ornaments like that are fitting, but they are not the peculiar adornment of the church.—Ap XXIV:51 http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeedonsBlog * This article was originally published here

The reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that asthma affects 339 million people worldwide. It has definitely earned a spot as one of the chronic ailments that could use an effective, natural treatment. With CBD becoming more and more popular, some asthmatics have decided to give it a leap of faith. Many people, however, are concerned whether CBD and asthma are actually a good match. CBD (cannabidiol) is the non-intoxicating compound of hemp or marijuana plants . It has created the latest gold-rush in the wellness industry thanks to its versatility and an excellent safety profile. Hemp-derived CBD is legal in all 50 states under the 2018 Farm Bill. You can find it over the counter in health retail outlets, dispensaries, and vape shops. It comes in tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, vapes, and even pet products . But can CBD actually help asthma sufferers reduce the symptoms of their illness? Let’s dive into this! Understanding Asthma Asthma is a common ...

The slaughter of the animals in the Old Testament symbolized both the death of Christ and the proclamation of the Gospel which should kill this old flesh and begin a new and eternal life in us...
