Cannabis is the term. Marijuana is a word that was made up and intended to be derogatory. Thank you for using correct terms to teach us about the benefits, this will help us educate others in am intellectual way.

My best friend was diagnosed with rectal cancer.stage 1. Over two years it did not spread. My friend's last biopsy was negative and his last PET scan was also negative. He took no chemo, no radiation,no surgery,nor any other traditional cancer care. He took highly concentrated cannabis oil, which was the main treatment, along with Host Defence Turkey Tail mycelium, and IV vit C , 75 grams 3 x a week. I give the high THC, full spectrum oil much of the credit

What if oral doesn't seem to function? I've been purchasing it from my local medical dispensary but none of the tinctures or capsules are having any effect on me.

Okay, so many things (mind you this is before I watched the video in its entirety so sorry if I repeat something there) 1. Oral route for cannabis is very bad. We're talking about maybe maximum 20% of the CBD and THC you consume gets into your bloodstream from ingesting it, and your liver is already metabolising the drug right off the bat. Bioavailability is better if you consume it with something fatty 2. It can take a couple hours for you to feel the effects of ingested THC, vs a couple minutes when you inhale. The effects are less intense and last longer 3. Commercial CBD isn't typically sold at concentrations that have any observable effect, and CBD is a drug that we frankly have no idea what it targets exactly, and in pop culture it's touted as a cure-all. It isn't, most of the time what people are taking is basically CBD homeopathy because in most cases 4% of what you ingest enters the bloodstream. Apparently people also take less than 100 mg capsules, and there are no better-than-placebo treatments using CBD to my knowledge that are successful in doses less than 300 mg. For epileptic children, they can be dosed with more than 1500 mg of CBD. So it's very much possible that what you're taking is not concentrated enough to have any observable effect, and that you're less prone to the placebo effect than others.

Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. ‘Marijuana’ is now an offensive term. I’ve heard it all Other than that it was a very educational video. Thank you

Genesis chapter one verse 11 and 12 God made all green meat for man and God saw that it was (GOOD) It's actually amazing what can happen when we unlock our three Maine Ecs at the same exact time. When done the body can uptake calcium and potassium more swiftly.
