Capitalist: Wait! Were you working during your cancer treatment?

Me: No.

Capitalist: Ah, so you *were* on vacation then.

Me: Sure. If your idea of a vacation is constant anhedonia, puking your guts out, fecal incontinence, then yes, it was a "vacation."

Capitalist: Noting that you took a vacation then.

Me: Remind me never to go on a vacation with you.

Capitalist: It's going to be $100 for the reminder.

Me: :headache:

I just finished my bike ride into midtown #Atlanta on my first bike/bus commute to KSU since finishing #cancertreatment in March. It's been a month of strength training and workouts to get back to this level of stamina. Felt strong and relaxed. Two months ago, I couldn't imagine it. I'm excited to get back on campus and start preparing for fall, and I'm thankful to my partner, my gym trainer, and my workout bestie for encouraging me through the valleys.

Medical and health research is vital to medicine and public health. There are already real world impacts felt around the country and around the world. People are dying, medical breakthroughs being delayed or prevented, and we are dismantling protections against #environmentalhazards. To put it in terms of money: health research grant money has a tangible #roi. It is not a money sink: we get more than we put in.

Access to healthcare is also being threatened with cuts to Medicaid which would prevent many who currently qualify from qualifying in the future. This means more #humans being kept from health insurance. A trip to the doctor is no longer a question of time or coinsurance but instead a decision between #life with crippling #debt or #death. #republicans are pushing for these cuts so their rich buddies pay even less in taxes and we can spend more the military. They are responsible for when you or your loved ones are faced with the decision between debt and death.

"While #research restrictions on #ScheduleI substances severely hamper clinical research on #cannabis in humans, there is a large body of observational studies on #medicalcannabis and #cancer – as well as lab research – that looks at cannabis’s effect on tumors in test tubes and in animals. The analysis included as many of those studies as possible.

Analysis aims to solidify #agreement on cannabis’s potential as a #cancertreatment."
