SAG's Open Access Cannabis Links

last update: 15 JAN 2022 (bit of clean up)

• SAG's Plant Lighting Guide

• Main open access page -many hundreds more papers

• Most links are for THC cannabis but some are for hemp or CBD and found primarily using Google Scholar. At the very bottom is a recently added section which will likely be every few months.

• Please report dead links! You sometimes have to look around a bit to find the actual PDF download in the page linked to.

Highlights

• Characterization of Nutrient Disorders of Cannabis sativa -this is for vegetative hemp and the only broad study I know of with nute issues and any cannabis

• Cannabis lighting: Decreasing blue photon fraction increases yield but efficacy is more important for cost effective production of cannabinoids "As percent blue increased from 4 to 20%, flower yield decreased by 12.3%. This means that flower yield increased by 0.77% per 1% decrease in blue photons."

I’m in my eighth year of being 24/7 bedridden and have been bed/housebound since 2008 with a severe multi-system illness with gut-disease and myriad related digestive symptoms at the heart of the illness. [*Overview written by a friend pasted at end of post. ] However it is very severe insomnia and flipped circadian rhythms (biological clock) that is preventing me from even the chance to heal.

I’ve got a 1kg of Borogoru Single Cultivar Traditional Grind Kava but if symptoms allow me to eat, I eat not long before sleep, and then when I wake twice during the night to eat ‘main meals.’ At any of these times insomnia can devastate for 2-7+ hours. It is at each of these (3) times I need the sedative effects of Kava but I cannot take it on a full (hyper-sensitive) stomach.

Rectal delivery via suppository makes sense and when one is literally fighting for one’s life there’s no squeamishness around this - only a desire for an effective solution.

Does anyone have any advice if I could switch the water used to make a Kava tea for an oil I could have made into a suppository. I understand that pressure needs to be added to release the kavalactones and one cannot just add oil but would a 10 minute knead with oil in a strainer bag with the Kava grind suffice? I’ve also wonder what sort of ratio to use to be strong enough when I’d only be taking tiny suppository, rather than a 100-150ml tea.

The New Zealand Kava Society’s preparation guide state using a ratio of 1gram of powder to 10-15 mls of water but clearly I’d need to use more powder to oil if I’d be imbibing such a small amount through the rectal route?

I’ve had melatonin suppositories made for me but my carer is having to freeze these and we use organic ghee and palm oil (the latter is meant to stay hard at room temperature but is liquid even in the fridge). I’ve become constipated with CBD suppositories using cocoa butter so am wary of using this fat. Obviously there are also questions around whether a frozen Kava suppository would work too!

All advice (of the hope giving kind - am determined to find a solution!) hugely appreciated.

I know Kava has some positive effects since I’ve been using Kavaplex, a cold pressed 30 ml bottle of oil delivered in 1ml pipettes, however I believe I’d need 15 mls taken three times across the night and this is financially unsustainable.

OVERVIEW OF MY CONDITION WRITTEN BY A FRIEND

L was an accomplished journal

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Is it weird to plant tomatoes in a vertical farm? if not how it is planted? the usual height of a tomato is about 3 ft. I think it can't be stacked? After searching in google I find no clear answer. Please help.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

The nutritional benefits of oats appear to go beyond fiber to bioactive phytochemicals with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the chemistry, stability, bioavailability, and health effects of two unique phytochemicals in oats, Oxidative stress Inflammation Cancer Cardiovascular diseases Itch Whole grain oats Avenanthramides avenanthramides (AVAs) and avenacosides A and B. We conclude that studies on the beneficial effects of AVAs and avenacosides A and B are still in their infancy, and additional health benefits of these unique oat components may yet be identified.

1. Introduction

> Cereal-based food products [...] contribute about 50% of dietary fiber intake in Western countries.

> Oats are a good source of soluble dietary fiber, especially β-glucan, which has outstanding functional and nutritional properties. β-Glucan is considered to be the major active component of oats because of its cholesterol-lowering and anti-diabetic effects [7]. However, oats supply more than just fiber. This grain contains numerous bioactive phytochemicals, which are structurally diverse secondary metabolites synthesized by plants [7]. For example, oats are a good source of phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamin E, and phytosterols [7-9]. In addition, oats produce two unique types of phytochemicals: avenanthramides (AVAs) [10] and steroidal saponins [11]. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the chemistry and health effects of these two unique phytochemicals

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

And boy are my arms legs.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

Mathematical puns makes me number

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

A play on words.

Put it on my bill

Calcium, nickel, neon

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
