Game of Thrones season 8, episode 3: SPOILER ![]() Daenerys KILLED by Arya after devastating Sansa death. GAME OF THRONES season eight, episode three will no doubt see several devastating deaths and one of them could be Sansa Stark who is hiding in the crypts of Winterfell hoping to survive the Night King’s attack. Could her death lead to Daenerys Targaryen’s demise in a very unexpected twist? By HELEN KELLY Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Google+Share with EmailShare via Whatsapp Game of Thrones season eight, episode one titled Winterfell saw Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke) arrive in the North alongside Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and she didn’t receive the warmest welcome from Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner). It seemed as though the pair may strike up a friendship in episode two but those hopes were dashed when Sansa quizzed the Mother of Dragons about her plans for the North when she became Queen of Westeros. Daenerys seems intent on ruling all of the Seven Kingdoms, despite Sansa pointing out the North had their land stolen before and have reclaimed it. Sansa is wary of Daenerys and her plans for Westeros and will no doubt confide in her sister Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) about her fears for the North and also their brother Jon. |
Desperate woman! She might be childless but that's not a good reason to deprive this innocent baby the soft, tender and milky content of her mother's bossom. |

14. It Appears to Slow the Development of Alzheimer’s Disease Cognitive degeneration is pretty much unavoidable as we age, and Alzheimer’s disease falls under that umbrella. The good news is that studies are showing cannabis can stop the progression of Alzheimer’s, which may lead to longer, richer lives for millions. 15. It Helps M.S. Patients Cannabis helps alleviate many of the symptoms associated with Multiple Sclerosis, most notably the tremors, spasms, and pain.

8. CBD Can Apparently Help Broken Bones Heal Faster Science shows us how CBD can help broken bones grow back faster and stronger. Can you believe that cannabis can actually mend broken bones? It’s true, as CBD evidently reacts chemically with collagen, spurring along the healing process. Another very exciting find. 9. It Aids People with ADHD For those with serious trouble concentrating, or who have children suffering from ADD or ADHD, cannabis might be the treatment you’ve been waiting for. It’s safer and more effective than medications like Ritalin or Adderall. 10. It Can Help Treat Serious Addictions We already mentioned that cannabis can be a viable, safer alternative to substances like alcohol and tobacco, but did you know that it can also be used as a treatment for addictions to these substances, and more? Individuals addicted to serious drugs like heroin, opiates, and cocaine, are showing promise in ridding themselves of their addictions through cannabis therapy. Of course, it’s entirely possible to develop a dependency to marijuana, also – so responsible and mindful use is key. 11. It Treats Glaucoma One of the first big medical issue that cannabis was shown to effectively treat is glaucoma. Ingesting cannabis helps lower the pressure in the eyeball, giving patients at least temporary relief. 12. It Can Improve Lung Health You probably never saw this one coming – especially since pot is commonly associated with smoking, and smoking with chronic lung problems. But some conditions, including lung cancer and Emphysema, have been shown to regress when cannabis is thrown into the mix. 13. It Helps Anxiety in Correct Doses anxiety Be careful - too much cannabis can make your anxiety worse. Fact: cannabis can actually cause anxiety but there are ways to potentially avoid that.

https://www.nairaland.com/5140504/chronicles-tortoise Cannabis, also known as marijuana among other names, is a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant used for medical or recreational purposes. The main psychoactive part of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol, one of 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 65 other cannabinoids. Marijuana is a plant whose scientific name is Cannabis sativa. Its leaves, seeds, stems, and/or roots are consumed by marijuana users for the purpose of feeling intoxicated ("high" . Although the plant contains hundreds of compounds, the one that has major intoxicating effects is called tetrahydrocannibinol (THC).Contrary to the widespread notion/perception that marijuana is harmful to human health, outlined are scientifically proven health benefits deposited in marijuana. 1. It Could Help You Lose Weight If you’re an avid Green Flower reader, then you’re already aware that cannabis users have been shown to be slimmer, on average, than non-users. That’s because cannabis helps the body regulate insulin production, and manage caloric intake more efficiently. 2. It Appears to Help Regulate and Prevent Diabetes Because cannabis helps regulate body weight, it only makes sense that it would help prevent and regulate Diabetes. Again, you can thank the herb’s ability to regulate insulin production for this medical breakthrough. 3. It Fights Cancer This is the big one that everybody’s been talking about. Both scientists and the federal government have released a good amount of evidence showing that cannabinoids fight certain types of cancer. It doesn’t get much more substantial than that. 4. It Can Help Depression caption. Research is important, but so are the voices and smiles of those whom cannabis actually helps! Depression is one of the more widespread, yet least talked about medical conditions in America. And research is showing that cannabis can help relieve people. “Using compounds derived from cannabis — marijuana — to restore normal endocannabinoid function could potentially help stabilize moods and ease depression,” said Samir Haj-Dahmane, who is spearheading the research at Buffalo University – research that is only just now beginning to ramp up. 5. It Shows Promise in Treating Autism Like many other high-profile disorders, autism may be a prime target for cannabis-based treatments. Science is digging into it, but in the meantime, some parents are using it to help manage violent mood swings in autistic children. 6. It Provides a Safer Alternative to Other Drugs and Alcohol Cannabis can be harmful if you use it irresponsibly, but it’s nowhere near as destructive as alcohol for example. With wider availability, cannabis can and will become a substance of choice – and likely save a lot of lives (and livers) in the process. 7. It Helps Regulate Seizures for a lot of People Using medical cannabis to regulate seizures is another one of the more high-profile findings coming out of medical science. For folks with disorders like Epilepsy, cannabis is showing immense promise.
