I've been toking on this Monkey Butter indica strain, an excellent day or evening buzz. It's great news that new research has shown that these tasty peanut buttery buds won't lead to a downward spiral of drug abuse.

There's a sweet peanut butter and earthy diesel scent from the ample beta-caryophyllene, cedrene, and humulene terpenes.
The buds have light and dark greens, covered with burnt orange and amber pistils, and a dusting of white trichomes.

The Feels
Good pain relief, solid cushion, relaxation headband across the brow creeps in, up beat and bubly euphoria - social. I'd blaze these balanced Monkey Butter buds day or night.
Cannabis is Not a 'Gateway Drugs', Research Shows
Research seems to often go wherever the wind blows, changing from year to year, but this one makes sense to me. Recent research has shown that cannabis is not a gateway drug to dangerous and addictive drugs. It's interesting how they conducted this study, they pulled their data from sets of twins that lived in different states, with one of them living in a state with legal cannabis. Of course there is a huge grey area with the question of nurture or nature, but they found that the twin in the state with legal cannabis generally did not spiral downward to dangerous drugs. They actually found that they were less likely to abuse alcohol in the state where cannabis was legally available (Source: NewsNation). Despite it being illegal, most of my life I've chosen weed over alcohol, alcohol is much harder on me personally.
The idea of cannabis being a gateway drug comes from many decades of demonization and incorrect information from the world wide governmental war on cannabis. It's currently considered a schedule 1 drug by the US DEA, deeming it a high risk of abuse with no medical benefit - lies. As time goes on it becomes obvious that the government is most concerned with self-serving.
