10x color microphotograph of overripe trichomes inside a cannabis flower.

When those tiny glands start to turn brown it means oxidation is taking place and THC is turning into Cannabinol or CBN.

After years of helping my octogenarian mother deal with chronic pain from her falls and titanium protesis I realized that CBN does most of the heavy lifting THC is credited for.

To read the full story, and science behind it, follow the link to my blog. I have included the full recipe for cannabis cream, 6 years in the making.

Defining the role and reach of a #geriatrician.

"...a standardised definition [...] based on expected competencies and roles..."

"...Many #care providers who dedicate a substantial part of their clinical efforts to the care of older people might consider themselves to be geriatricians without the appropriate credentials or without having completed any special #training..."

I can’t tell you how confirming and affirming this news report is for someone who has self-identified as autistic later in life

Everything Andrew says here describes my own experience and - even without a formal diagnosis - lends support to my conclusion about myself

“… for many older people receiving a diagnosis was a "lightbulb moment" and meant they could better understand their life experiences”

Exactly

www.bbc.comAutism: 'I felt broken before being diagnosed at 70'An estimated 90% of autistic people over 50 have not received a diagnosis, research suggests.

My mother asked me to switch her to Linux (Ubuntu/Gnome) back on spring, being fed-up of windows ads and sluggishness [likely a combination of ads/useless tracking processes and a slow HDD].
6 months latter, she is amazed. It's simpler for her, she has far fewer slowness and no ads. She was already using Firefox, Libre Office and Thunderbird and that's 90% of her computer activities so there was little change - the remaining being reading PDF, looking at video and image, or printing things.
She even successfully "repaired" her printer by herself one day (blocked jobs, cleaning the queue, etc).
The computer is up to date and clean.

So, I will call it #GreatSuccess and I missed when the #linuxYearOfTheDesktop passed and went, but it was somewhere in the distant past, at least for a 67 year old woman, not tech savy and with a past of manual work with lower social status & incomes, in a remote rural part of French Alps.

The reality is we're not dealing adequately with everyone's mental health & wellbeing if we aren't also dealing adequately with the harmful issues related to the status of their #diversity, #equity & #inclusion.

This means acknowledging & addresssing the detrimental impact, on #mentalhealth of the isms, abuse, hate & #inequity towards women, Black & Brown, mixed heritage, indigenous people, #LGBTQ+, #Neurodiverse, people with #Disabilities #OlderPeople & others from diverse backgrounds.
