Finally it’s legal. I was an alcoholic for 30 years. Now I’m a pothead. Best decision I’ve ever made.
Lol you have a problem brother
el greco Being a pothead is way better than being an alcoholic. Just leave the man alone. He’s made a great change in his life.

@Mx 2 soon. Be patient
I agree! Congrats on finding plants!
The biggest struggle I have is that living in NY using marijuana makes me feel like a criminal. It relieves all my lower back pain so I can work 50 hours a week. It relieves all my inflammation in my knees and ankles from years of sports and injuries so I can work around my home. Stereotypes are so terrible these days. I have a nice home and a nice job and I'm super responsible I just like to toke up with so many reasons including the health benefits. Physical and mental health benefits.
That’s why the wise one say
Listen to your heart...
It knows the way

and if you were an alcoholic no one would bother you, sad but true. Good luck Andrew, I am in the UK and it is still illegal here, despite a lot of politicians having massive shares in Medical Cannabis Farms all over Europe.

What is the best strains for severe pain
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to cannabis treatment protocols. I look forward to the future of medical marijuana and following your journey!
I am a neuropharmacologist and I studied the cannabinoid receptor. Enjoyed your lecture, Ms. Gordon.
I am a TBI survivor no longer on opioids, antidepressants nor muscle relaxors and thereby laxatives. I cook my pot because I quit smoking cigarettes 10 years ago after 40 years of cigarettes. I make sure not to drive while I enjoy my pot and I sleep like a baby-- no more antivan! Oh, and I have lost 40 pounds in two years without dieting. My Doctor is overjoyed with my results.
CB1 . I'm retro. It was the time of anandamide as well as CB2 in the spleen .
Same here. Use capsules with oil. Works great for pain and better sleep. Haven’t touched alcohol since.
You make this world a better place Mara Gordon. Thank you for educating yourself so that you can now educate the world. Even this Wake N Bake gal appreciates your hard work developing dosing guidelines....I am able to help my NOW husband even better than before. PLEASE do another Ted talk as l am sure you barely scratched the surface of what people really need to know in order to effectively treat chronic pain as well as many other medical conditions.
Kay Cortapassi I’d love to!
All your husband needs is a wake and shake ;)
As a Chronic pain suffering using Cannabis illegally in the UK it makes my heart sing to hear Mara Gordon speak such truth from the heart so that we can have a Future where research will prove emphatically what cannabis can do to help ease so many health conditions..... God bless all those like Mara Gordon that pave the way to access for those that need healing on all levels she truly is' God's plant'.....✌️
Nobody noticed or believed my epileptic signs/ symptoms as a kid, when i was a teenager I found my own medicine and got on with life.. but then everybody noticed the medicine and labelled me a pothead, leading to me giving it up, which eventually lead to me having 4/5 seizures daily at one point. Then at 32yo i was diagnosed, i lost my job and driving licence and was put on horrible meds that do harm but no good. So i started self medicating again and have reduced my seizures, improved my overall condition, it helps counter the meds side effects, the anxiety, depression and much more. As an added bonus, ive also had asthma all my life and since ive been able to smoke during the day rather than just evenings, now is the best my asthma has been. Ventolin has never lasted more than 3 weeks, suddenly i havent used it in over a year. Even though I am now a registered medical user, it's not available on prescription, i still have to find my own supply.. While the people who only see a pothead enjoy their alcohol and even get it delivered to their door during a pandemic. 😄 madness.
Yea I don't get it helps we sleep digestive problems and calms me down and I enjoy the high feeling like it's perfect for me I go to the gym high socialise high and do boxing high the only like about is when I run out all my symptoms and problems that smoking helps with get ten times worse
True this... "if you want someone to take something seriously, treat it seriously."
Get the govt out of it. Also, if something makes you feel better, then go with it. Most of us trust the plant more than any government
the Government completely renamed the plant we know of ( Cannabis ) to marijuana ... it was 100% political move to incarcerate everyone @ any time
Blame the narrow minded people that force govt to enforce these laws.
Less govt, yes!!!
Doesn't having government regulation, ie usda ensure the strength/quality of the product? I want to have confidence in what I purchase.
@@carolyniorio4476 the same Government that added Paraquat to weed back in the day ? the same one that has been incarcerating everyone for the plant ? you are going to suddenly trust them and want them as a supplier of those plants ??
Watched you on Green Flower and now on TEDx. Great presentation as always Mara!
I just want to give thumbs up she did a wonderful job explaining cannabis medicine in basic form to give you an idea of what to look forward to... GREAT JOB... ZERO BIAS STRAIGHT TRUTH...
Canna Fitness ECS TARGET THERAPY thank you!
Sadly though she is wrong about CBD. It works and the body does not need THC to help heal itself.
The United states government has a patent on medical marijuana. Hypocrisy at its highest level.
hah isnt this the truth.
D it means no one else can sell medical marijuana
@D it means that the medical properties in cannabis that are not supposed to be there to begin with are actually patented ... LOL .... our government at work for us
Wouldn't be much of a problem if your government can be trusted to have your best interests in mind.
The uk government is one of the worlds biggest suppliers of medical cannabis... won’t give it to its citizens.
it's a fact cannabis helps people!
Very informative and easy to understand presentation, thank you for sharing.
This was one of the best talks regarding cannabis I've heard done on a public stage. Of course, there are a few things I might contend, I do agree with nearly everything she said.
Grateful to see this kind of content, education is key!
Excellent talk with a lot of useful information. Thank you for uploading.
Great job Mara!
When I was a nervous anxious filled 14 year old. Fighting with my mother in her kitchen she yelled " you are just medicating yourself. My life became quite the story, traveling martial artist. Gangs. Prison. Some how got a good education in process. I'm 46 now. Home 8 years. Finally I'm not a criminal. To top it off. Very soon starting a buisness that Will have bbq sauce, soy sauce etc. Snacks and beverage infused for dosing in the day to day. Soon to bring in the mycelium. Excellent and informed video. I'm humbled knowing what is in front of me.
she should have just sat down with the flower lady and had a puff.
Wonderful talk. Thank you.
Thankyou.
Very informative! The recreational users should take note of this as there are many different drugs with varied effects within cannabis. And some may not do one good as much as others might make one feel nice and high.
excelent talk, but we all know that probhition is not because any danger marihuana causes... it all because money interest of some small group of people..
There is also a history (in the USA) of classifying marijuana as schedule 1 (of no medical value) drug in order to heavily penalize its users (often minority groups, activists, those against the war in Vietnam). Nixon's administration used this as a way to go after some of their enemies.
If it helps spelling you should start smoking...... a lot
No actually marijuana is dangerous today because the big corporate growers are using chemicals and pesticides
inner-city folks are spraying their product with chemicals such as raid to enhance the effects
you need to be very careful you need to grow your own or you need to get it from a qualified source I don’t even trust the dispensaries any longer
The weed in the dispensaries is safe. I own a commercial grow here in crested butte, Colorado. Every single crop is tested for potency, microbials, and pesticides. The dept. of agriculture stopped in, unannounced last week and took samples from each of my five flower rooms. Solely for the purpose of pesticide testing. We don’t use any, at all. And all of the grows I know use none. So, just FYI, (as far as Colorado goes) our products are safe, and you can really trust that.
Bruna Fernandes smoke weed. I wouldn’t do too much tho take it slow.
Nice speech. The inadequacy of current testing and labeling principles is absurd.
It is a plant and food 1st. Food does not require "ingredients", "labels", nor "packaging". QUIT thinking the plant contains THC, and what I'm saying makes sense. We don't label grapes potatoes as Alcohol by Volume due to their use in the Wine-making and Vodka distillation process so we should not label cannabis for the POTENTIAL of intoxication for a Minority use, "getting high". SEE MY POSTS ABOVE. The plant does not contain an intoxicant (THC). The PROCESSED PLANT MATERIAL does. It's time to teach Science & Math to Americans again that they might be able to add things up instead of worshiping Democrats & Republicans.
As a Chemist I have spent most of my career in big pharma, but the last several years working as a consultant in the Cannabis testing field. What most people and lawmakers don't understand the complexities of testing a natural product are immense and for the most part cost prohibitive. Yes we can test for say 5 to 15 Cannabinoids, Terpene profile, and mold. But testing to identify every component in a natural product is immensely cost prohibitive and a fools errand. Not saying that labeling could not be improved, just that the expectation for a Cannabis needs to be different than that of a typical Pharma medicine.
Thanks for the education on doses. I haven't seen any talk focus on dose like you did.
god bless you lady
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man. Psalm 104:14

thanks for that information
great share!
awesome info cheers
Age 18 I just decided to quit pot. I made it 6 months. Finally I had a tooth that needed pulling and people know tooth pain is the WORST in the world. Out of the blue my sister recommended try weed for the pain. We went on a bowl ride and I couldnt believe how amazed I was that the pain was completely gone, when that same day I was literally biting into a pillow and crying and screaming at the top of my lungs. Weed is more than just getting high and now I see the truth
Ya, I work in the industry, medical usage is complex. Ask 2 people get 3 opinions, ask what people like and why and there goes your day.... we have sheets people fill out when we are testing new types and more than a few flipped over the page and continued on the back..
Having said that- here's a funny story; I was in a meeting that went like this: Problem: people are getting stoned on their breaks. Answer: We can't expect people to be not stoned (sober, I think is the word) at work so don't smoke in front of the cameras (everything is videoed) and if its possible, managers should not get stoned with the workers. And most importantly don't pass around pre rolls (joints) as that spreads colds ( we had that happen)... As an older guy who is in upper management - I can't be stoned and make good decisions (I seem to be nearly alone in that thought) so I found the whole thing funny, but having coworkers stoned on weed is far better than alcohol or anything else.
thank you
Brilliant talk, whattagal! Super informative
Just because something is lab tested doesn’t mean it’s actually giving you factual information vice has done a piece about the manipulation of numbers that are suppose to be advertised as THC%as low as half the amount on the label
This information will change and save lives. Thank you 🙏 😊
Good job! 👍 👌
I’d really like to know exactly how she integrated THC dosing into the tapering process for getting off of opiates.
While it indeed does help relieve pain drastically and also can mildly alleviate some withdrawal symptoms, it doesn’t just replace opiates when you’re a daily user with a tolerance. But I’d be very interested to know the best way to use cannabis while also tapering from painkillers
Fantastic Thank you
We have 2 separate America's . One where one American will loose their livelihood,x career, home , 10s of thousands of dollars in legal fines , attorneys fees, even his children , and freedom , by being in possession of the same exact substance that another American by simply living in a separate state divided by an imaginary line can publicly earn a very good living not only possessing but actively cultivating and distributing. And we ask why children behave the way they do, it's the hypocrisy , unequal rules that places them on unlevel ground . What if alcohol was treated the same way. Wake up America !
Majority Favoring / Majority Rights / Majority Ruling.... how long til over Half the States even matter anymore in the constitution ?
@@mcozy333 Well, we made it. The constitution is regularly being ignored and undermined.
@@ganondorfdragmire7886 I know man it is fuckng Shame we have been so controlled and manipulated to barely Sheeple our way through the mine fields without exploding into universal ethers ...
it took a War from outside of the Country to even prohibit weed to begin with... no amendment no anything in the constitution. basically the plant is not even illegal yet no one knows it
Most doctors are bound by federal regulations from discussing or recommending cannabis, if they work for a hospital or University that received government funding.
Federal FDA regulations block proper study of cannabis and any derivative.
Most of these regulations were instituted to protect big pharma.
Very true. I provided source materials to a doctor and on further visits they stayed firm on their mythology about the dangers of cannabis. Mindless slaves to the money without honor.
It's not about honor. If they can have their license taken by recommending something federally illegal, then it hurts all their other patients. The blame is with the medical system, pharma, insurance, and being class 1, not with individual doctors.
Cannabis has been a blessing to the lives of millions in the underground, as they utilize it to alleviate their ailments. The industry was silenced by the large corporations for decades and it has finally TORN at the seams. We are now seeing the pent up craving for knowledge blow up and lead to one of the greatest moments in history for cannabis - being viewed as an essential business.
Mara Gordon, thank you for saving my life !
GENIUS. THERE IS HOPE. 👍❤️💪
I love your direction. As an educated individual in general holding a masters in fine art, Have taught at graduate level for years, I'm an international touring songwriter, father..
You have the perfect perspective we need, but at the middle you divide things by assuming that there is no mind benefit from THC... OMG
There is a reason legendary, historic figure of thought and originality have gravitated to it and it's not just for health. There is something VERY useful for the creative mind that must not be stigmatized even further please. If the discourse follows your mindset then pot help us all. That us the same stereotypical B.S we have all lived with.
Great discussions need to be made from all fronts and artists/musicians/creators should be first! Just ask
Beautiful!
Excellent
very heartening to see a talk such as this - where someone previously stigmatized against cannabis for its stereotypes has taken it upon themselves to do the thorough research required to understand how the plant can be used as a therapeutic - she covers a lot of extremely important and relevant points - ranging from concepts of medicine dosing, to plant cannabinoid types, especially, relating to the entourage effect inclusive of terpenoids, to how cannabis has the potential to replace pharmaceuticals that havent been providing the effective relief required - this to come from someone of her age going into the depth of the matter for her own physical mental wellbeing is inspiring, knowing how she has taken it upon herself to educate others and provide them a medicine
except she went full blown pharma in some cases making it seem her weed varietal was only to be used ... one of the patients of hers moved away and made their own oils from their own cannabis plant and it made a rift in their relationship to the point of almost suing ETC..... not what sick people dying want to deal with , they just want plant medication that makes them better . I can understand how identifying with certain traits from certain plant lineages is a plus but it is still THC/ CBD irregardless of which type of plant
@@mcozy333 is this anecdotal evidence, from her therapeutic line of oil products/practice- wasnt aware, good to know, we have to be a little wary of those trying to propogate myth that only their product works, i thought shes trying to focus publics attentions on correct dosings, because ive seen how easy people get that wrong, recreationally it is irrelevant, but as medicine its vital, and ofcourse there is some overlap/ room for error, anyways, id also thought it was still just thc/cbd ratio at the end of the day but was mistaken when i learned through mores further research that although those are the main primarily active compounds that we know of so far as being effective theres in fact much more going on that science has just touched the tips of the icebergs, other cannabinoids ratios with the terpenes, pinenes, etc together affect how a disease illness is affected by the plant-thats why whole plant spectrum treatments really are more effective/being researched now to understand the entourage effect rather than isolated compounds-theres papers by ethan b. russo on this-plus a talk i came across by dedi meiri tedxtelaviv has a useful take on it generally im with you its the plant that heals
@@silverace08 yeah here is the math - 570 totoal constituent parts in cannabis .. 150 are phytocannabinoids ... about 40 or so of those are primary cannabinoids ( like THC /CBD) while the remainder are secondary cananbinoids..
what effects differences per plant the most is the smelly volatile sesquiterpenes that augment phytocannabinoid expression via catalytic activation leading into hydrolytic intracellular enzymes ( MAGL/ DAGL / FAAH) .
Mara Gordon documentary " Weed the people" . that is the one I'm talking about where the issue of which plant to treat the little girl? comes up ...
@@mcozy333 cool, good information to know, i will definitely look into it further appreciate it thanks, a plant even bred strains cant be a patented thing-this is a gift from nature that we must allow all to grow in sharing freely :)
@@silverace08 GW pharma has patented cannabis plants to make Epidiolex and Sativex .... they use specific plant lineage varietals that create the compounds they need to make the medicine in exacting amounts every time ETC.. .. it would be great if other people simply wanted to help others with plants but it is about money... charging the most for whatever and screwing everyone in the process ... there are people who do offer free plant medicine but then they get treated worse than child molesters in the criminal system
Who'll pay for the research on a medicine that you can't patent?
you cant patent any "alternative" medicines yet somehow they are still a billions $ industry.
Happy 4/20 , 2021 everyone.
"Smoke this until you feel better. "
Cannabis is not for everyone but it is medicine to many. Looking forward to the end of cannabis Prohibition in the US. Thank you for sharing this. 💚
I really Appreciate this still ,but its essential ;) lol to explain the terpenes alot better, maybe I just have a esoteric understanding of plants in generals potency lmao
Thank you for providing some actual figures (mg) that I can work with.
Cannabis is the only medicine that I ever use now in the last six years,, i’ve replaced alcohol aspirin and all medications with it.. And I am never sick and I eat really good and I sleep good and I have no pain I am 60 years old with arthritis and then have been in some accidents, I drank alcohol for 37 years and smoked cigarettes for 37 years now I don’t do either
FASCINATING, wonderful speaker.
I just vaped 2 bowls of raw CBD flower and I feel great watching this back. I watched this video during the day and I was feeling like rubbish. I literally had a cry because I felt overwhelmed.
Now I’m watching it again at night before bed, I feel like I just won a billion dollars after dry herb vaping 2 small bowls (0.2-0.4g) of CBD flower (Strain: Lifter - it literally does lift you). This stuff is amazing, honestly.
I went from 7 pills a day from the VA for service connected disabilities to 1 after I started medically using MJ. No side effects , no long term problem.
Love the "process engineer" perspective!
Nice share!
Within the first 45sec u described my life years ago! I was in sssoo much back pain n neuropathy from having MS. I was miserable and still in pain. Medical cannabis saved me from all those pills(bad side effects n addiction). It's medically legal here in PA but we're not allowed to grow it🙄 it needs to be legalized ASAP
cbd gummies saved me from my anxiety disorder and insomnia
Yeah, she's saying CBD isn't helpful? That's so messed up and also so completely wrong. Maybe we could let a pharmacologist talk about pharmacology and she can talk about engineering.
She is my hero...
Mine too....😊
My mom has been through cancer twice . One when she was younger now she has it again. The chemo drugs make you so sick, anxiety, and just overall ruins you. I told her to ask her cancer doctor about marijuana and he said there is no benefits to it . I told her to try marijuana or cbd but she is so stubborn and won't try it. You can't convince her to try it. I know it could change her life for the better
Give her a gummy or cannabis infused butter spread on toast. I’m amazed a doctor treating a cancer patient would not be more open minded. There is nothing to lose by try cannabis.
Thanks for the talk. It’s good to have you explain the need for measuring doses. In order to assess its benefits, we need to use equivalent mixtures. Then you need to test the benefits in strict double-blind, placebo controlled trials. These are lacking so I do not recommend cannabis as therapy. I am open to changing my mind when the evidence is in. On the side effects issue, have a look at Dr. Daniel Amen’s work with SPECT scans in cannabis users. These are not mild effects. Are they less with the use of oils? Like this lady, find out what is involved. Use the Royal Science Society’s motto, “Take no one’s word for it.”
you are not going to find those studies on wild plants... you will find cannabinoid studies were specific compounds are measured @ volume as to effects... known as cannabinoid sciences..
you can find mainstream work around cannabinoids info via researching - specialized pro resolving lipid mediators .. these are like cannabinoids but not really stated as such ( cannabis is federally illegal and doctors do not care to look further lest loose licensing or just go nowhere with the findings because it's illegal to begin with)
@@mcozy333 I am a doctor. I am not going to prescribe a mixture about which I know little. I need to know the active ingredient in the product and are the effects due to this ingredient or its metabolites. How is it excreted, and how long does it remain in the body? What happens with toxic levels? Can those with poor kidney or liver function take it safely? I hear people say that such-and-such is safe because it is natural, it is plant-based. Oleander is natural and plant-based and it can kill you. These statements are nonsense, as you know. I need to see how cannabis will assist in which conditions. I need to see the data in a scientific format where I can calculate the number needed to treat for a positive (and a negative) outcome. I want this work done but I want it done well, otherwise the prescription pad stays in the drawer.
@@kimlowe705 well, cannabinoid sciences , endocannabinoid system , phytocannabinoids ... the cannabis plant accesses same biochemical pathways as omega three. I've picked apart many articles ands could answer most of those questions from all the research... still federally illegal to research even though Government patented the cannabis molecules for health = Patent # 663057 ... maybe start your research through our own government???
mcozy333 The Australian government is stating that they are conducting clinical research, but it is not complete yet. It will be interesting to see the results. I talk with other doctors about this topic and they are in the same boat as me. They have no knowledge of any reliable research to form an opinion on. That being the case, we look forward to finding out how cannabis can be used for medicinal benefit.
I actually love this woman. What an amazing talk.
I’m a brain tumor patient with tons of chronic pains after 50+ successful surgeries, and have plenty of chronic pains, all of which medical take care of. I couldn’t recommend this as a medicine enough.
Also, along with pain relief, medical also treats my epilepsy, so I don’t need to take what I now realize were effective anticonvulsants, but had loads of undesirable side effects.
I work at a grow facility & just got my med card to shop next door at the nearby dispensary. It took a long time coming, but it's high time we legalize recreational cannabis to make it simpler to dispense treatments. We'll work out the science of it later.
it allows me to put things through a different filter. I'm not a chronically ill person I'm a high person. Small mental wins.
I have diverticulum and find it hard to eat at all sometimes and I get migraines when I don't eat.
I've had maybe 10 migraines in 10 years since taking cannabis and i've gained 5KG since 2016-2019 after losing 11KG from 2012-15.
Yea I have had ibs and litterally treats better than any medicine helps with sleep too and I love the calming effect it gives me
Amen
a little bit of weed is al I need
We love sharing content on all things Cannabis. Lives are changing. One recovery at a time.
You don't need an engineering degree to listen to what your body tells you. Vap .2 grams of flower and then raise or lower the amount based on how you feel.
Thats is old school method.
The society need a 'Dr.' to say what to do.
Some people will just take however much they feel like. It's better if a Dr asks your symptoms and decides when you're at the safest dose for your personal health.
@@foxman482the same Dr that prescribed you your opiods? Some people have no self control and some people need others to think for them.
Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of cannibis. But I thought it could be disruptive to your sleep, like alcohol. You may fall asleep initially but I feel I have trouble getting quality sleep if I ingest too close to bedtime. This is something I struggled coming to terms with. Could be wrong was just surprised to hear you say. But whatever works.
1 to 1.5 hours before bedtime is best for sleep ... that allows the come down to help you sleep ... if using directly before bed ther could be more energy that uplifts and awakens you at the on set ... wait a while as the sedation properties take over and then rest
Yes, I thought the same and learned that depending on what you buy it's slow releasing. So if I want to go to sleep at a reasonable time I will take it as soon as I get off work. It will keep I'm around 9 or 930pm
Useful information. There needs to be so much more research. Really interesting that there are so many compounds in this plant, but I wonder how it compares to other plants in that regard. Also, I find it interesting that you seem to need the whole plant for each part to work, which is not always the case with other plant based pharmaceuticals. That just may be why a lot of CBD stuff is really not effective.
look up cannabimimetics ... plants and herbs ,spice etc..... with cannabis type properties ... whole peppercorn is a cannabimimetic , contains beat caryophyllene which is a dietary cannabinoid . cannabis contains 570 total constituent parts .. 150 of those are the phytocannabinoids . they are in an acid state while on the plant ( acidic form) . when heat or time takes over they move into the non acidic state that we know of ... so THC-a becomes THC. @ 150 total cannabinoids each is carbon active and then decarboxylated to make then carbon neutral . so more like 300 there when figuring both forms
You might have convinced me if you had just stayed with seizures, but I don’t buy that it cures cancer and “all human diseases.” We have lots of experience, if not research, with pot and cancer patients because many cancer patients use it to help with appetite after chemo. No evidence that these people were “cured” of cancer.
I know about the endo cannabinoid system. I’m just saying there is a need for serious research and the fact of the endo cannabinoid system. It’s a good reason to think that there will be some medical uses. But there is enough reason to think that pot would interfere with this system as there are to think it will help. Let’s let real research come in.
@@ruthbaker5281 Correct. However, cannabis has been shown to shrink tumors or slow tumor growth. In vitro and in mice I believe. Albeit, not in humans. At least not yet. More research needs to be done.
That's not the same thing as curing cancer.
@Kevin Welch In addition to cannabinoid receptors, humans also have opiate receptors. Also nicotine receptors.
First time I hear about CBN.
I have had sleeping problems since my childhood.
Few months ago I got to try this strain (vaping) on a two separated nights with few days in between.
And both of those two nights I slept full 8 hours without waking up.
I think i have no other choice but to get seeds of this strain and become a criminal for a beter nights sleep and quality of life.
From where can I get more exact information about CBN and other likewise parts of cannabis?
Thank you for this tiny bit of information I got from the video
I also have chronic pain, I was really upset when the SC bill got shot down for medical cannabis. Can't wait to move back to GA or FL. :( South Carolina sucks!
My entire immediate family suffers from chronic pain; I've had chronic migraines since I was 12, my mom has degenerative disc disease, and my dad's suffered with neck problems for decades. My dad's also had problems with alcoholism and used it for years when marijuana was illegal. When it became legal here he stopped drinking, started smoking again, and was able to get off his pain meds. My mom wrote this off as "him just wanting to get high," but as more and more information has come out about the medical benefits of cannabis I decided to look into it myself. I refused to smoke anything, but one day my dad bought some edibles that I tried. I got the best sleep of my life that night and was able to go much longer without my morphine that I've been on for over a decade.
My mom's been super reluctant to try it because of a bad experience she had when she was young, so I've been trying to research as much as I can to find something to help her, and it's been super frustrating how little scientific, medical information there is, how you're pretty much forced to rely on word-of-mouth from "budtenders" or what people online say; and then you read stuff like "sativa and indica are largely meaningless/unscientific distinctions" or "plants labeled the same thing are often completely different chemically," or you just see how poorly stuff is labeled at dispensaries, often with little more information than the THC content... it's been super frustrating, especially because my mom's on more medication than my dad and I combined, and all we can do is blindly guess at what might help, and doing this with someone who's extremely reluctant to try it to start with. We desperately need scientific/medical testing of the kind suggested here.
I've seen videos explaining how beneficial canabis can be for someone like me with autism, and I'm thinking that I might take it.
See the big huge problem that is being hugely ignored is the fact that a lot of young people in the getto’s were the pharmacist and they were wise beyond there years. including my brother that started getting locked up as a young kid, because he had a rough life. So he would sale weed to have food clothing etc. and now you have these scholars saying it’s medicine. I’m glad you just discovered but you remember Bob Marley has been telling you and the getto has been telling you for ever.
Preach. Everytime the ghetto tries to profit from something and America can't find a way to profit from then they lock you up. Now that America is catching up and can profit from. Weed they all in and it's no problem .they found a way to profit n control!
Brilliant woman
The hexagon structure at the atomic level of elements is so the universal fields can move through it without the fields clashing(Amino acids).

The key point here is that there is a regulated market. Australia needs to examine the politics and myths to make this plant available as a medicine.
I am a medical doctor, and I would recommend you from TED to invite Dr. Paul Oh to show the people another side of Cannabis, just to let people also understand the other side of the use of this plant and its properties. He is a kind of specialist in the effects of Cannabis on the human heart and could give you some medical insights about the matter. For example, it was said in this lecture that there are more than 500 substances with medical properties in Cannabis. It's not true. Although there are some substances that can be used as medicine for some illnesses, there are really more than 500 substances other than THC and Cannabidiol in Cannabis, but the majority of these substances are not known by the scientists today, some are really harmful, and this should be known by the person who is thinking about using Cannabis as a treatment. Let me tell you that I'm not against the use of Cannabis as a medicine, but it should be known by the public that science is only scratching the surface of knowledge when we talk about Cannabis and medicine.
Describe one compound in a cannabis plant that is harmful ... what pathways are proven to be harmed ? where in our bodies ? so you know the actives in cannabis are lipids ( LIPIDS!)
My doctor in Pittsburgh, with UPMC pain medicine prescribed it to me instead of opioids.

The title says separating the science from the hype. I must have totally missed the science part.
BTW, it depends on the dropper size which will give you a different size of drops.
We all react differently on different substances.
Nowadays I can't understand how anyone can use cannabis to relax or ease pain to help them sleep because I always start to trip as heavily that it starts to pull me through an ego death.
Some parts remind me of things Ayahuasca could make me go through.
It might have to do whit difficulties of letting go.
When experiencing a major dos san Pedro, I had the longest day of my life and I didn't like it but in no way did it make me loose track on everything as cannabis does.
Shes definitely showing the start of great information, watch time and testing show great results. Thankfully they're finally allowing medical testing with cannabinoids that's been needed for along time.
