I’m watching what’s happening with Cannabis edibles with much interest. Sales are booming. Regulators are stymied. Regulation is virtually absent—nobody seems to know how—and science, alas, hardly exists.

“A new study, published in Psychiatry Research, has concluded that psychiatric diagnoses are scientifically worthless as tools to identify discrete mental health disorders.
The study, led by researchers from the University of Liverpool, involved a detailed analysis of five key chapters of the latest edition of the widely used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), on ‘schizophrenia’, ‘bipolar disorder’, ‘depressive disorders’, ‘anxiety disorders’ and ‘trauma-related disorders’ … The main findings of the research were:

It’s hard enough to change a habit that you can physically see: going for a daily walk, sitting down to write, having a salad for lunch each day. These are easily seen, but can still be quite a challenge to instill in your life.
But what about habits of mindlessness, that you don’t even know you’re doing? Maybe you notice it later, maybe you never notice. How do you change those kinds of habits?
For myself, I have a number of mindless habits that I could focus on:
Judging other people
Eating mindlessly, especially when I’m talking to people or watching TV
Sitting too long and getting distracted online
Comparing myself to others or judging myself
Shutting down into self-concern when someone is unhappy with me
Hiding things from others because I’m ashamed or afraid for them to know

Loss of the myelin layer that sheathes nerves is the proximate cause of severe conditions such as multiple sclerosis, but this sort of loss occurs to a lesser degree in the course of normal aging, and contributes to cognitive decline. In today’s open access research materials, scientists draw a line of cause and effect between (a) increasing stiffness of the brain tissue that hosts niches where stem cells reside, (b) dysfunction of those stem cells mediated by the specific stiffness-sensing mechanism of Piezo1, a process that <a href="https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.140980211…
