Cannabis news worldwide -- Olivia Newton-John taking medical marijuana

Olivia Newton-John taking medical marijuana

LONDON - Olivia Newton-John takes medical marijuana to ease her pain during her cancer battle.

The legend was diagnosed with breast cancer in May - 25 years after recovering from the life-threatening illness - and she has been taking cannabis to help her out after her herbal medicine importer husband John Easterling introduced her to its pain-relieving qualities.

She said: "I take a lot of natural herbs and healing remedies and also medicinal cannabis that's helped me a lot. Initially. I had a lot of pain. I don't have pain now. I'm so lucky. I'm married to an amazing man who is a plant medicine expert."

Newton-John will be spending Christmas with Easterling and her daughter Chloe, and she is hoping the 31-year-old singer will tie the knot to her fiance James Driskill next year.

Speaking on The Today Show, she added: "I think next year they will get married. I hope they will. If they don't, that's fine and whatever they want. But I think they might do it."

In September, Newton-John insisted she didn't want to be a cancer "statistic", refusing to research the numbers who have died from the disease after being diagnosed a second time.

She said: "I think that can be really depressing, and I'm not going to be one of those statistics. I'm going to be fine. I think you can live with cancer like you can live with other things if you take care of yourself.

"I think it taught me I'm stronger than I thought I was. Because even though you have a team around you and people are helping you, really in the end, it's up to you. Believe you can do it and to go through it."

The Half-Legal Cannabis Trap - POLITICO

The Half-Legal Cannabis Trap - POLITICO LOS ANGELES — Everything about Kelvin’s job in a neighborhood southwest of downtown seemed like any other assignment, if not a little more exciting. The 40-year-old, who had previously worked as an electrician, had been employed since 2015 by a private security company that contracted him out to guard marijuana dispensaries. In 2019, he was protecting one of the thousand or so cannabis stores in California’s biggest city—part of an industry that has grown less and less underground since 1996, when the state first legalized medical marijuana. Kelvin, who asked not to be identified beyond his middle name to avoid professional retaliation, doesn’t smoke pot, but says the gig felt like the future. He grew up in a time when other Black people he knew in Los Angeles would go to jail for possessing even small amounts of the drug. Now, customers could walk into shops like the one he was guarding, many of which can be identified by green crosses on
