[…]communication that completes a positive “feedback loop,” according to Dr. William Courtney, a medical marijuana expert and founder of Cannabis International. As opposed to a one-way transmission, which can promote chronic inflammation of healthy tissue, the unique two-way transmission system engaged by marijuana CBDs mimics the body’s own natural two-way communications system. So individuals whose systems are compromised by autoimmune disorders, cellular dysfunction, chronic inflammation, cancer cells, and various other illnesses can derive a wide range of health-promoting benefits simply by consuming CBDs. And one of the best ways to obtain CBDs is to juice raw marijuana leaves and buds, according […]
[…]material to be smoked or sold as a liquid to be vaporized and inhaled.” RELATED STORY: WHO: Medical marijuana has NO public health risks and should not be withheld from patients The man, whose name was not released, was treated at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn for internal hemorrhaging but left against his doctor’s advice and was later found dead.

[…]the states). However, Trump does recognize the importance of and remains staunchly supportive of medical marijuana.

However, if you thought process is like WH Press Secretary Spicer’s, then it makes sense to go after people who just want to get high, “When you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming in […]
[…]culture for over 50 years. The decision by the state of Colorado in October 2014 to legalize marijuana for recreational use was seen a revolutionary by those on both sides of the divide. Colorado and Marijuana Since that decision was made nearly four years ago, the state of Colorado has seen an increase year on year in tax revenue gained from cannabis sales. In the most recent financial year, ending in June 2016, the state made nearly $70 million. Revenue gained through taxation was one of the key arguments for legalizing weed. Now that this argument has been clearly validated many […]
[…]residents shouldn’t have to worry about lost job opportunities simply because they have used marijuana… The bill will still allow employers to test for marijuana after they offer someone a job, if that is a condition of employment. It still affords employers the ability to test during employment. But testing will no longer be allowed as a factor to screen people right from the start.” The Washington Post reports, “The bill… amounts to a first in what could perhaps be dozens of legal changes council members say they expect to undertake in coming months as they grapple with balancing marijuana’s […]
[…]from a Single Breath RELATED STORY: I interview my own cannabis MD on cannabis (yes I have my medical marijuana license here in Fla)! Marijuana has been legalized for recreational use in 11 states plus the District of Columbia; 33 states plus D.C. have approved medical marijuana. Police agencies are still mainly on the sidelines in terms of plans to purchase the devices.

[…]system of communication that completes a positive “feedback loop” says Dr. William Courtney, a medical marijuana expert and founder of Cannabis International. This is instead of a one-way transmission which promotes chronic inflammation. CBDs mimic the body’s natural two-way communications system. Stairway To Heaven “The endogenous cannabinoid system acts as a modulator in fine-tuning a lot of these systems, and if something is deranged biochemically in a person’s body, it may well be that a cannabinoid system can bring things back into balance.” – Dr. Ethan Russo, a Seattle area physician, Senior Advisor to GW Pharmaceuticals. Juicing marijuana ensures you’ll […]

[…]– EDITORIAL NOTE: Today [for all practical purposes] it is against the law to do any medical research on Medical Cannabis in this country. And has been so probably since the days of Harry Anslinger. HOW? — To quote another section of this book (on why Medical Cannabis will never be legalized) : . . . The narc’s have a very long history of repressing / ignoring the truth. . . . There are numerous other ways the narc’s have of assuring that Cannabis NEVER gets FDA approval. HOW? You want to do medical research [6] on Cannabis, […]
[…]journal isn’t a scientific study or research report.) “We are absolutely not saying that marijuana killed that child,” said Thomas Nappe, an author of the report who is now the director of medical toxicology at St. Luke’s University Health Network in Bethlehem, Pa. And drug policy and health experts also warned about reading too much into this report. “Nappe, who co-authored the report with Christopher Hoyte, explained that the doctors simply observed this unusual sequence of events, documented it and alerted the medical community that it is worth studying a possible relationship between cannabis and the child’s cause of death, myocarditis, or inflammation […]
[…]at “drug and alcohol” talk at his school where they undoubtedly told him that marijuana was bad. They often tout this plant as being far worse than booze or even the habitual use of cigarettes. Thankfully a GO FUND ME page has raised more than $28K for her legal defense. After her son challenged the education talk they went to search the house because, well that’s just how things go in the United States these days. From the article on how they searched her private residence: “Banda refused to allow officers to search the home, and police stayed at the […]
[…]shouldn’t be a shortage of supply for further testing (legalities aside). The aforementioned marijuana compound passes from a person’s lungs into their bloodstream, and then it attaches to two types of receptors: cannabinoid receptor (CB) number one and number two, which are located all over the body on the surfaces of cells. These receptors are concentrated in neurons responsible for pleasure, thoughts, memories, coordination, and time perception, and they also normally bind with lipid molecules (endocannabinoids) which are created during physical exertion to promote cell-to-cell signaling.

[…]100 miles north of Los Angeles. From the 459 acres of land, authorities destroyed about 10 million marijuana plants – a value of approximately $1 billion on the black market, the sheriff’s office said. RELATED STORY: Olivia Newton John says Medicinal Cannabis is Key to Her Cancer Recovery “These illicit marijuana gardens were grown under the guise of legitimate hemp production,” the sheriff’s office said.

[…]was passed on January 4, 2016 and is believed to be exploiting a loophole created by the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, which passed in October 2015. “It’s frustrating to me because there are all of these people with negative attitudes about something that is truly God’s gift,” said Sister Darcey, one of the nuns. “We make CBD oil,” added Sister Kate, the other nun involved in the practice, “which takes away seizures and a million other things. It’s very high in demand from cancer patients right now. And we make a salve that’s a multi-purpose salve, but we found out it […]

Since smoking’s not allowed in the building they allow employees to use edibles, sodas, and juices that are infused with cannabis. Co-founders Kyle Sherman and Chase Wiseman are more focused on getting things done than what their employees are eating. “If it [marijuana use] helps our employees get work done, then we don’t care if they consume at work,” said Sherman He goes on to explain that using pot […]
[…]Agency (DEA) is actively looking for a contractor in Texas to clear its evidence vaults of marijuana that are no longer needed as evidence. That’s correct, rather than sell it to someone who can manufacture it for children who have seizures, they are going to simply burn it. What a waste. “According to a document outlining the DEA’s requirements, the incineration provider must be able to process at least 1,000 pounds of marijuana per hour, for eight hours a day. The contractor must be able to accept tightly-compressed bricks or bales of pot in packages weighing up to 200 pounds each.”1 […]
[…]Institute. The federal government has made it so no state can be prosecuted for implementing a medical marijuana program. That is why the 23 states (and our nation’s capital) with medical marijuana programs are still around. Editors Notes: This is a guest piece by one of the bigger online papers for the entire state of Wyoming. We just spent many days in Colorado learning that most medical marijuana patients who are prescribed cannabis by their medical doctors and have their red cards for medical dispensaries and pharmacies actually get tinctures (aka “CBD oil” or cannabis oil) Depending on their illness […]
[…]their plants become one of nine finalists en route to the Oregon state fair. First State Sponsored Marijuana Fair The competition consisted of three categories, of which each would have three winners. One of the judges, Ed Rosenthal, also known as the Guru of Ganja to many in the community, moved from plant to plant to examine the quality. “The first thing is health and to make sure they don’t have infections and then to make sure they … don’t have nutrient deficiencies.

[…]more regularity in dosage and effect. (Fun fact, when legal weed sales began in Colorado, dried marijuana accounted for 65% of sales but today that number is around 40%.) RELATED STORY: Combat vet posts shocking picture of how many pills he has to take because cannabis is illegal Since their initial public offering back in March, Cronos has seen explosive growth in the value of their stock (up 45%)- likely due in part to Canada’s vote to legalize marijuana nationwide beginning this fall.

[…]Thank you so much! Dr. Bronner’s plans to partner with organizations like New Approach and the Marijuana Policy Project to make financial contributions for the legalization campaigns in Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada- all of which are voting on marijuana measures this November. From the article: “The expected sweep of these states will exert enormous pressure on federal lawmakers to end the racist outdated policy of cannabis prohibition, that shreds productive citizens’ lives and families for no good reason, and focus law enforcement resources instead on actual crime,” officials for Dr. Bronner’s said in an announcement released Monday.” If […]
