An entire neurological system, the endocannabinoid system was discovered in 1988. The body manufactures its own cannabinoid molecules, which attach to their own cannabinoid receptors, whenever something new, important, or meaningful is encountered. On the level of the cell, cannabinoids, it would seem, help create meaning.

The first flight of Artemis and the full Orion spacecraft is scheduled to launch on SEP 05.

Update: The launch date was actually Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 6:47 AM (UTC).

Dreams reveal the world.

We wake while often the narrative is difficult to recall.
