Cannabis Compound Combats Cancer

Cannabis Is An Effective Treatment For Cancer There are so many harmful consequences to cannabis prohibition, that it is impossible to list all of them.  Prohibition needlessly costs us money and lives.  Many people understand the costs associated with prohibition and the fact that we coud be generating revenue instead of wasting money.  When innocent people are killed in marijuana raids, Americans certainly know that tragedy has occurred (although I am amazed that their isn’t more outrage.)  A hidden cost of cannabis prohibition, that many people may be unaware of, is the lack of [Continue Reading]

Marijuana, REM Sleep Cycles, And PTSD

How Does Marijuana Affect Sleep Cycles And PTSD? by Philly Blunt How is it that marijuana affects dreams - and can this somehow benefit post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients? Chances are if you asked the nearest stoner if they are aware of dreaming, the answer will come back a resounding no. Yet if that same marijuana smoker were asked to stop smoking pot for 7 to 14 days, they would again find their slumber state rich with vivid dreams… sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Its one thing for the average pot head to [Continue Reading]

Educating On The Glory Of Cannabis

By: Anthony Martinelli, Sensible Washington Cannabis is a wonderful plant; Non-lethal, therapeutically beneficial and remarkably medicinal. Clearly one of nature’s marvels. If you’re on this website, it’s likely that you agree with this statement. The mission of course – in order to bring liberty to this plant – is to get the rest of the public to understand this. Though they may never understand exactly how vast the benefits of cannabis are, we can clearly educate them – and its vitally important we do so. Given how deeply embedded the propaganda [Continue Reading]

Does Breast Milk Contain Cannabinoids?

Mothers Milk Is High In Cannabinoids By Scrog Betty Deep in the ancient primordial soup that is the human body exists a complex web of naturally occurring proteins, identified as ‘cannabinoid receptors.’ These receptors are believed to be our body’s way of specifically processing the many cannabinoids that humans have been ingesting for thousands of years – most notably THC or tetrahydrocannabinol. As any good stoner knows, ‘THC’ is the main psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana. So the fact that our bodies have created ‘cannabinoid receptors’ to process these wonderful healing elements, is [Continue Reading]

Smoking Marijuana Vs. Vaporizing Marijuana Infographic

Smoking Vs. Vaporizing Cannabis Depending on one’s experience within the realm of cannabis consumption, some may never have heard of vaporizing. Vaporizing is a common technique for consuming marijuana, while at the same time negating many irritating respiratory toxins that exists within the grown marijuana flower and are released when smoked. Conversely, vaporizing allows one to get at all of the psychoactive ingredients available within that specific strain of marijuana , minus the combustion that ordinarily takes place during consumption. The basic design of the average marijuana vaporizer is to [Continue Reading]

The Evidence Is Clear - Medical Marijuana Is Real

There Is Now Clear Evidence That Cannabinoids Are Useful For The Treatment Of Various Medical Condition By Paul Armentano For the second time in recent months, a scientific paper published in a peer-reviewed journal has thoroughly rebutted the present Schedule I status of cannabis under US federal law, which states that the plant and its organic constituents possess a “high potential for abuse,” and that they lack “accepted medical use” and “accepted safety … under medical supervision.” According to a just published review in the German scientific journal Deutsches Ärzteblatt [Continue Reading]

Which Medical Marijuana Strains Are The Best For Fibromyalgia?

The Top 7 Marijuana Strains For Treating Fibromyalgia By Scrog Betty This headline popped out at me the other day…“While self-medicating with cannabinoids may provide some pain relief to fibromyalgia patients, we caution against general use of illicit drugs;“ the journal of Arthritis Care & Research. As a general rule of thumb, I tend to take those types of warnings with a grain of salt. Instead — my primary thought process headed in another direction. Rather than warning the already supportive masses, against a plant we all know to be [Continue Reading]
