Hemp – uses & cures

'As for health, this is literally a well kept source of information that has been proven to do miraculous results.

A recommended good read is “Hemp for Health: The Medicinal and Nutritional Uses of Cannabis Sativa“, Hemp, Cannabis sativa, is one of the world’s oldest sources of food and medicine, with a history that dates back ten thousand years. It relieves glaucoma, epilepsy, migraines, insomnia, asthma, the nausea associated with AIDS and chemotherapy, and a host of other conditions. 

It was once a staple in every American medicine cabinet, but because hemp is the plant from which marijuana is derived, it has been unavailable to consumers until recently. Now products made from imported hempseed are sold by stores and mail-order companies across the United States to satisfy a growing demand. Hemp for Health reveals the developments that have returned this ancient plant to the forefront of health and nutrition and that have doctors calling for its legalization.'

The Marijuana Diet: How Pot Enhances My Life

 

'Flashback to the 1980s. The social and political “correctness” or acceptance of marijuana changed in the post-hippie apathy. We heard years of ”Just say no” from Nancy Reagan. Pot became more underground. You didn’t always know who among your newer friends was using or not, and whether they would like you for choosing to do so.

'Cannabis treats such a wide variety of conditions that a single method of treatment isn’t always suitable. Smoking cannabis is short lasting and wasteful, as well as exposing patients to potential harms that come with inhaling burnt plant matter (vaporizing helps to avert these health concerns, also). 

Eating cannabis is essential for individuals who cannot smoke due to compromised lungs or who cannot afford to buy the buds due to black market prices driven up by the risks associated with prohibition. Eating is effective over a longer period of time and uses ordinarily wasted material, such as stalk and leaf, and reduces costs. 

Topical application can assist patients for whom smoking and eating cannabis are not feasible options as “the top side of cannabis leaves are coated with thousands of microscopic thorns, and these sometimes cause minor intestinal irritation, even after grinding.”[i] Patients who have no desire to experience full body effects from taking cannabis internally can choose to localize their relief by applying cannabis through the skin. The fat soluble cannabinoids, soaked in vegetable oil, create a simple and effective lotion.'
