Inside The Largest Ever Independent Cannabis Study In The UK (Forbes)

Equally, it's not fair to say that cannabis is entirely harmful because we know that only a minority of people is harmed by cannabis," she said. Di Forti said that the general debate over cannabis is polarized. "It's trivial to say that, because cannabis is a plant, no harm can come from it. "What we know is that if you have a predisposed genetics psychosis or have a family history with psychosis and put on top cannabis consumption, your chances to develop psychosis increase. "Given that I am a psychiatrist, the harm I am interested in is the one related to the brain. But as the COVID-19 pandemic delayed its launch, Dr. Di Forti said they would ask for an extension. I want to see if we can screen out those who have benefited from cannabis and keep safe those patients that show psychotic symptoms and that visit my clinic every week," Dr. The study aims to understand how cannabis use can alter the perception of the external environment, and researchers will use a VR experience to assess such an alteration. I am talking about a minority of cannabis users developing psychosis, even transient or more persisting. This will help understand whether the different effects of cannabis consumption are also related to the biological interaction between the endocannabinoid system and cannabis compounds. To understand the reasons behind the need for this study is necessary to have a glance at the legal status of cannabis around the world.

As Putin struggles to maintain his hold in eastern Ukraine, he is using Russia’s grip on European energy supplies to economically blackmail the people of Europe.

Truss's admission talks on trade deal with US have been shelved is ... (The Guardian)

Latest updates: party says prime minister has 'tarnished UK's international reputation' as she visits US.

Labour opposed Brexit in 2016, but under Keir Starmer it is now presenting itself as the party that would “make Brexit work”, and it now routinely attacks the Tories for failing to implement Brexit properly. Nick Thomas-Symonds, the shadow international trade secretary, says Truss’s admission that the US free trade deal won’t happen is “terrible news” for the economy. When it comes to a free trade deal with the US, post-Brexit Britain really is at the back of the queue. I try to monitor the comments below the line (BTL) but it is impossible to read them all. No one who has followed progress towards the “massive” free trade deal once promised will be surprised by the substance of what Truss said; it has been clear since Joe Biden won the US presidential election that for the time being the deal is all but dead. The Truss comment also marks the return of No 10 as a news-generation machine. However, it is expected to include equipment like the multiple launch rocket system, provided to Ukraine by the UK and others, which has been decisive in allowing Ukraine to re-gain over 3,000 square kilometres of territory in recent days. The UK is already the second largest military donor to Ukraine, committing £2.3bn in 2022. The bits in relation to children and online safety will not be changing. In her first PMQs as prime minister, Liz Truss said that under her premiership there would be “tweaks” to the online safety bill to ensure it did more to protect free speech. This is the latest broken promise on trade from Liz Truss and the Conservatives. They would only relate to ensuring “we’ve got the balance right in terms of free speech in relation to adults”, she said.

India-owned UK refinery aims at carbon capture and storage future (Financial Times)

North-west England's Stanlow oil refinery has stood near the banks of the river Mersey for almost 100 years. But, today, its managers want to ensure it has ...

“We want to demonstrate that this is a viable technological solution and that we can implement and run it sustainably, as part of the company’s own transition to lower carbon,” Barden says. The refinery will be converted to run on hydrogen instead of natural gas. Natural gas, and fuel gases from the plant will be converted to low carbon hydrogen, with carbon dioxide captured and stored in depleted undersea gasfields 60km offshore in Liverpool Bay. If the country chooses to really go after this, it’s a big prize.” Barden argues that existing North Sea oil and gas supply chains mean the UK has the experience to be at the forefront of CCUS, and other developments to cut carbon emissions. This can replace the gas used to provide power to run the facility and kick-start a wider hydrogen economy, by providing a low carbon fuel for other industries. “What we’re doing is going to be relatively straightforward to replicate at a large industrial scale, both nationally and internationally,” Barden says. [Essar Group](https://www.ft.com/stream/5b313867-99f8-401e-a542-ea49fe938d19), the India-based conglomerate, owns Stanlow and believes that, by deploying carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology, the plant will be able to prolong its life. Essar says the chemistry and engineering is widely utilised and understood in the oil industry — though generally for maximising output by reinjecting CO₂ into oilfields to squeeze out extra supply, rather than cutting emissions. [carbon capture](https://www.ft.com/stream/f8c2a0a9-b32f-4b9c-83da-4d70534d1584) will be an important part of manufacturing for our industry and that’s why we’re committing to it now,” says Jon Barden, chief operating officer of Essar Oil. Blue hydrogen is created from gas but with the emissions sequestered to create a low or zero carbon fuel. But, today, its managers want to ensure it has a low-carbon future over the next century.

At UN, Truss aims to show UK can still lead on world stage (The Washington Post)

British Prime Minister Liz Truss is at the UN on a mission to convince the world that she is a steely leader for tough times.

Britain has introduced legislation to rip up part of its Brexit treaty with the EU — a move that angered the bloc and alarmed Washington. Truss has avoided stirring up the issue during meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and others in New York. Britain’s departure from the EU has brought new customs checks and paperwork for Northern Ireland trade, part of the U.K. The two leaders have different economic views, with Truss advocating a brand of low-tax free-market policies derided by Democrats like Biden as “trickle-down economics.” Concern about Northern Ireland in the U.S. She is aiming to catch the mood of a pivotal global moment, as Thatcher did in 1989, when she hailed the thawing of the Cold War but issued a prescient warning about climate change. The two countries’ common approach to Ukraine has gone some way to healing a trans-Atlantic rift caused by Brexit. Two years after Britain dismayed many of its allies by leaving the European Union, Truss wants to reassure the world that her country will be “a reliable, trustworthy and dynamic partner” to fellow democracies – most urgently, to Ukraine. It all adds up to a bold start for a leader in office for just two weeks. She’ll pledge Britain’s “total” commitment to Ukraine’s fight against invasion, including a further 2.3 billion pounds ($2.6 billion) in U.K. In her speech to the U.N.
