Religion is a set of rules, regulations, and rituals created by humans which were supposed to help people grow spiritually. Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe and each other. As the essence of our existence, it embodies our culture, true identity, nationhood, and destiny. A people without a nation they can really call their own is a people without a soul. This is our divine destiny.” - Haile Selassie I

View more#CharlotteFigi (October 18, 2006 – April 7, 2020) was an American girl with Dravet syndrome who took #cannabidiol (#CBD) oil to prevent seizures and inspired the name of the medical cannabis strain called #CharlottesWeb.Figi was born on October 18, 2006, with a twin sister, to parents Paige and Matt Figi. At 3 months old, she had her first seizure. Due to her Dravet syndrome, at age five, she used a wheelchair, had up to 300 grand mal seizures a week, and had trouble speaking.In 2012, Figi's mother searched for CBD marijuana oil for her daughter's treatment. Figi began taking oil from the marijuana plant, "Hippie’s Disappointment," which contained low THC and was later renamed Charlotte's Web. With the use of Charlotte's Web, Figi experienced an immediate reduction in her epileptic seizures, down from 300 a week to two or three per month. While the use of medical marijuana was still illegal in many states, news of Figi’s success spread and families with similar diagnoses started moving to Colorado Springs, where the drug was originally sold. Because of her story, she also gained worldwide notice and media attention. In 2013, she was the subject of the CNN documentary Weed by Sanjay Gupta. She became a well-known figure in the U.S. and international medical marijuana movement and her story helped support U.S. legislation on medical marijuana. In 2019, Figi was the first child featured on a cover of High Times.In April 2020, Figi was hospitalized with pneumonia, which then caused seizures, respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest.ߙ She died on April 7, 2020, at the age of 13. According to her mother, Figi was admitted to the hospital and tested negative for COVID-19 on April 3, and was "treated as a likely COVID-19 case" when later readmitted to the hospital.

❌ Propaganda is information that’s been molded to influence what you think and do - for better or for worse. This mind control isn’t magic; it’s carefully cultivated manipulation. Your best defense: recognizing the techniques propaganda uses to spread ideas and persuade the public.
Simplification ✂️ Propaganda reduces complicated issues to basic ideas and packages them with catchy slogans and images so they’re easy to understand and remember.
Exploitation ✂️ Propaganda uses emotional messages to play on universal weakness, fears and desires.
Exaggeration ✂️ Propaganda paints its cause as unbeatable, without flaws or weaknesses.
Division ✂️ Propaganda sets up “us” versus “them” scenarios, broadening divisions between different people, groups and ideas. Credit: NewseumED
