“Some of my favourite moments are the quiet ones in the garden…
Watching things grow slowly, without rush or expectation.
Something is grounding about being close to nature like this 🌿
The arum lily standing in the middle of dry leaves, almost like nature renewing itself, while everything else returns to the earth.😊

Using cannabis for medicinal purposes is not about "escaping reality." It is about helping the body return to a state of balance, especially when trauma, stress, or illness has disrupted its harmony.
Is it a sin to want to heal? to want to be happy?. I've grappled with that question a loooooooong time; healing from trauma is not easy. It's not a quick fix of alcohol or shooting it up in the alleys because you can't wait to feel numb
And I've come to this conclusion: No, it's not if you are respectful to your body and mind on the way there.
The things given to us must be used with respect for what they were made for.... Can I say that it honestly saved my life💚🌱

I haven’t posted here in a long time.
I’ve come to realise that I’m no longer creating for the outside world — for visibility, validation, or noise. What I make now comes from a quieter place, shaped by listening, integrity, and a deep respect for life and for the body’s wisdom.
I’ve recently published a book that gathers that journey. I’m sharing it here simply as a marker, not as an announcement.

If it resonates, it will find who it needs to see.

HOPE FOR THE BRAIN – AND HOPE FOR ALL OF US

Recently, a clinical trial reported that microdosing cannabis pauses Alzheimer’s cognitive decline in patients. The headlines are calling it “remarkable” and “unprecedented.”
However, to many of us, this is more than that.
For a long time, ordinary people, healers, grandparents, caregivers, and those quietly walking their own neurological journeys have already experienced the gentle support this plant can bring. We didn’t need flashy trials to tell us – we saw it in calmer nights, steadier hands, clearer thoughts, and softer hearts.
What makes this study so powerful is not only that participants held steady on cognitive tests without any psychoactive “high,” but that the scientific community is finally turning its attention to something real-life communities have believed for years.
That isn’t just remarkable.
That is validation.

🧠 My Story Inside This Research
I live with a mild form of Parkinson’s every day. It has humbled me, slowed me down, and taught me to listen deeply to my own body.
Careful, low-dose cannabis – true microdosing – has been helping my symptoms for years now. It helps ease the stiffness, quietens the tremors, and most of all brings me peace and sleep. In those small doses, I don’t feel high – I feel good and human again.

So when I read that researchers are seeing similar gentle benefits in Alzheimer’s patients, I can’t help but smile. Because it confirms what I’ve always said, “The healing power of nature gives us more than we imagine.”

🌱 A Plant With Potential
This early trial was small, and of course, we still need larger studies. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are complex conditions, and nothing replaces proper medical care.

But this research opens an important door:
It shows that cannabis, when used respectfully and intelligently in tiny amounts, may help protect the brain instead of harming it.
And that gives hope – not only to Alzheimer’s families, but to everyone living with neurodegenerative illness.

💛 My Invitation
Let’s continue to share knowledge, support research, and listen to the wisdom that surrounds us.
If this plant has helped you or someone you love, I’d truly like to hear your story.

Tiny doses.
Real promise.

From my heart to yours,

Paola

People argue about cannabis like the argument is the point.

But the real question is simpler than any law, licence, or label.

Who owns your body when you are unwell?

Because right now the system answers that question for you.
Not your doctor.
Not your prescription.
Not your diagnosis.

The system.

The moment medicine becomes permission-based, your health stops being care and starts being compliance.

You can be trusted with painkillers that destroy your liver.
Trusted with antidepressants that rewrite your nervous system.
Trusted with chemicals you can’t pronounce.

But not trusted with a plant you can grow, see, smell, and understand from seed to leaf.

That contradiction isn’t accidental.
It’s structural.

Cannabis is dangerous to systems that rely on dependency.
It reduces appointments.
It reduces prescriptions.
It reduces obedience.

A person who can ease their own symptoms is harder to control.
A person who can grow their own relief doesn’t need approval.
A person who understands their body doesn’t panic when authority says no.

That’s why this argument never really moves.
Because it isn’t about safety.
It’s about power.

And power hates anything that grows without asking first.
