Have you ever noticed that the CDC site has a special place for highlights each week known as, The Disease of The Week? If you didn't know, consider yourself now informed. Let's Remove the mask around timing of things and wording laced with emotional bondage. I cannot take watching my fellow humans stay spun up in unnecessary emotions over weekly diseases or anything else for that matter. So let's break some of this down and see if we can find any masks, cracks or double speaking.
Now, I wasn't aware of this part of their site until August 3rd of this year, when my girl in Michigan informed me. On that day I received a message from Tracie saying:
TRACIE: This was on the news today here...Did you know the CDC has a Disease of the week?!...And this week's Disease is; Marijuana / Cannabis Use Disorder.
Of course there were a sea of links that followed her intial message. As I began looking into what she had found, clickling on the first one sure enough... https://www.cdc.gov/dotw/marijuana-use/index.html
Now me being me, I scrolled to the bottom before I began to read their bulletin. Why? Because I wanted to know when this document was published. 🕵🏽♀️ The screenshot above is from their site and it appears this was last reviewed on April 13, 2022. Reviewed, can mean a few things online. It can mean that's the date the author published it. It can also mean that's the last known date of any revisions done by the author. Yet, on August 3rd of 2022 (4 after the CDC's review of this page) in Michigan, Tracie and many others who had the news on that day, heard it announced as the new Disease of the week per the CDC. Tracie's response was classic as we continued to speak about this:
TRACIE: Girl yes, I just saw that and the wording I thought seemed funny like last updated April... like did that mean they scheduled out the diseases of the week, because I just heard about it on the news this morning?!.. lol
ME: Yeah wtf did they review? Their shit don't even have any real depth.
Just a bunch of words that create panic in most minds. Which is what they are all about..IMO
The Timing of Things:
Many of you know that, I do not watch the news. Yet, remain highly aware of what's going on around me in the world. Why don't I watch the news? Because the news is setup to keep you emotionally wound up. Let yourself think about it for a moment..."If it bleeds, it leads." This is every news outlet's motto. Now, think about how many of the headlines you see in a day that are regarding turmoil, panic or death of some sort. Now, think about how many of the "Ahh Feel good" stories they splash into the stream. Yeah, when one allows their self to honeslty, unemotionally watch a 30 minute block of news and really let the veil fall, they beging to find that the balance is truly in favor of keeping the watcher in a hightened state of panic, if not even full griping fear.
So why was August the time they picked to showcase this as The Disease of the Week? Well, in my opinion it was because they needed an emotional spinup going for that area of the world. New legislation was coming about in Michigan for hemp/cannabis growers. Not only that, but humanity is in an accelerated time where many are unhinging from what they've been told about cannabis, and other natural treasures. Many are seeking out the truest healing possibilities. Natural solutions do not get J&J, Pfizer, or any other major pharmaceutical brand paid.
Daily I watch these big names produce things in the name of common good, while also watching them weave illusions into the mix that have humans essentially chasing their tails. I also watch as these companies force their way into the cannabis and hemp sector, mucking up the place. Adding chemicals to natures gift, then passing to us like "Hey its still the natural way." Thus completing their cycle of, create the problem and then hand them a cure...which ironically they created too. And of course, their last motivation for releasing anything, fear. As long as they can promote and keep fear around anything, they can keep people from choosing to look any further into matters to gain their own knowings and understanding.
No Depth...was the intial thing I also noticed about the bulletin above. It had all of these words, that if read with your emotions out, would have one on the phone calling everyone they know that uses cannabis. I mean, if you are going to tell us this is a disease, shouldn't you let us know what to look out for? There was all this panic stirring and giving you no way to really cure it. Festering fear is what I like to call those kinds of seeds. When anyone releases something this vague, they want that feeling that intial comes to fester.
When I read it, it felt as if they were hoping to further seed those who fear the unknowns of cannabis into possible feeling further justified in, "Ahh, told ya'll this was no good."
They took time to bullet a few key factors. They let you know that 3 out of 10 cannabis users suffer from this disease. But they didn't tell you what you look for. Feelings fester simply because investigating past how it made you feel failed to happen. So of course you know me, I went to find out for myself. Here's what I learned.
There are 11 major symptoms/signs of Cannabis Disease. If 2 of these 11 occur in the SAME 12 month period then you are suffering from Cannabis Disease. IMO the list is negatively skewed. Everything on this list could also be caused from one's environment, an internal imbalance before you add cannabis to the list or any other foods, medications, etc. But I never talk about something without giving you a full picture, so lets take a look at the 11 symptoms.
Cannabis Use Disorder Symptoms:
Loss of control
Social impairments
Inability to stop
Ignoring Risks
Frustration of existing issues
Cravings
Troubles in main spheres of life
Tolerance building
Disregarding problems
Withdrawal
Disproprtionate
Anyone that studies energy, like myself will tell you, every one of the symptoms listed above could also be from one, some, or all of your major Chakras being imbalanced. The there are honestly a host of things we encounter in a day that could have someone experiencing any of the above symptoms. #foodforthought
The Power of Words:
Now, let me pull out 1 of these symptoms and tear the mask away on The Power of Wording. Lets look at the symptom Tolerance building. The CDC along with the FDA will tell you that cannabis use brings tolerance building. They use this wording in reference to cannabis as being a bad, harmful thing. Something to look out for. Tolerance is terms ro drugs/herbs etc, simply means that your body has built up a stamina to the substance you have been taking. But isn't it ironic, the same people that portray cannabis tolerance building as bad, are the same people that tell you to increase your dosage of most of their drugs after a few weeks of taking them. (FYI dosage increase=tolerance.Yes when you see dosage increase just insert you are building tolerance so we must make sure to override that by increasing the dosage. Those 2 pharses mean the same thing. Smply worded in a different way.)
Why increase? Because your system is building a stamina up and now you will need more of that substance to get the same or better effects. But when they tell you to increase their drugs, they word it a bit differently. They word it in a way that to the conscious mind, you don't even realize they just told you to do what they warn you not to do. It's worded so that when you hear or read doasge increase you automatically feel, "This is for my benefit", not every leaving room to think, "Hey isn't this doasge increase meaning I'm use to it? Hey, how many more chemicals will I have to take in my lifetime at an increase?" It's just really ironic to me, nature tolerance building has forever been painted as bad. Yet, they will hand you a chemical snd lately tell you to increase the dosage. 🙄🤷🏽♀️ Take a look for yourself. I went to drugwatch.com and began to look up a few commonly prescribed drugs. Here is a screenshot from one we all hear a lot, Prozac.
Isn't it ironic, this man-made drug, you are told increasing the use is a necessary part for the intergration of the drug. It plainly tells you that after 1 week, you are going to need more. Yet, they don't even call it tolerance building when speaking of dosage increase surrounding prozac or any of their other fully manufactured products. It's simply a neccessary part of the intergation.
WORDS ARE LIFE. Words and how you identify with them will ultimately be the place you make your decisions from. I pulled the word Tolerance out because that is a word we have all been told to have more of. It's also a word that medicine has told us is a bad thing when they need to create an illusion to really drive a point home or diminish somthings possible goodness. I know, when I put it like that...you don't really know how you should feel about the word tolerance, do you? It might have you feeling kind of conflicted. Well know this, its up to you to sift through all of those feelings and get to your root knowings.
With media most times being unavoidable, let me ease your system with this truth. Anything you do in this life, if you do it long enough, you will build a tolerance to it. So choose your tolerance building wisely. But let me tell you something cool about tolerance that many may not know or have forgotten.
To honestly be tolerant is to be able to withstand without adverse reaction.
Yeah, let that wash over you for a moment. Let that truth replace the fears that hide within your unconscious mind.
It is imparative to be aware of what is going on around you. But there are so many that will prevert your awarness and without you realizing it, have you living life in full guarded mode. Being on guard is not the same thing as being aware. If you are living on guard, you are in a hightened mode of fear. Whether you consciously realize it or not. And when agencies like the CDC or the FDA have sites that do nothing but daily or weekly have something new to fear, well I feel its my responsibilty to stand in grey and remind us all...knowlegde is the only true way to live an aware, unguarded life. Formal education was one form of learning, but not the only one.
I know so many people that don't watch the news, but know about Disease of the Week. Why? Because they have the site bookmarked and check-in regularly. My fellow humans, there is a whole catalog of diseases that are a weekly special for the CDC...but guess what? You are an entire catalog of cures. Will you dare to crack open the greatest sicence book every given to you? Your book of...yourself. While everyone is telling you what you should be doing with the body you walk in daily, will you instead give yourself the space to hear what your body is saying? Will you allow yourself to drop the feelings of what you think you know and what an agency told you needs to be feared, long enough to hear what and how YOU honestly feel? I hope you will, because this is the key to it all. For each and every human.
No matter how many disease of the weeks come out, we each hold keys to unlocking our own greatest health. Yes, each person key is going to look different, and only you will know what keys are truly needed for unlocking your health and life. So whether you just learned of the CDC's weekly diseases, or you have been watching them for a while; may this be your reminder to sift through it all. What they say, what they don't say, and what they word differently for the things they want you to buy from them. Take it all into account before you let it ruin your day(s) emotionally or even your health.
Empower your way through your human experience you hold the key to your release.
