Unique Cannabis research proposes specific types for specific problems
I think there are very few amongst us who would disagree that Cannabis has a lot of potentials when it comes to the medical field. Admittedly, there are others who also just see the potential in temporarily leaving the planet to go on an adventure. Throughout the world though, the increasing usage of Cannabis for medical usage has brought about more and more advocates for its legalization.
It seems, however, in a report via Metro that when it comes to using it, scientists believe that there is actually a right way and a wrong way to do it.
You’re doing it wrong!
In unprecedented research, scientists evaluation 12,000 people who were taking cannabis for medicinal purposes. In the research, they found that overall mental health was improved in the vast majority of cases with the unique aspect of the research is that it was not conducted in a laboratory. Instead, the subjects were given an app they could use to monitor their use and behavior.
The research also studied the specific type of cannabis people were using. The results found that a single inhalation of products with high levels of CBD, but low in THC was ‘optimal for reducing symptoms of depression’. In general, though it found that any form of cannabis reduced anxiety within 2 puffs. It, therefore, seems that specific types may benefit certain problems. As such, consideration could be made in the future for specific prescriptions.
Many will see this as an advocacy for the outright legalization of it. Others will continue to see the drug as immoral or not beneficial. I think most of us sit somewhere in the middle. We could at least agree that its use for medical purposes clearly does have validity. It is clearly a divisive issue. One which we won’t solve or make any conclusions here. We’re not that brave!
What do you think about this? – Let us know in the comments!
It’s amazing how some people will hang onto a belief no matter what. Simply because authority has told them to. Even if that authority has lied to them before. The inability to think for ones self is one of the most damaging traits we humans have.
I am a 65 years old woman living in CA who is a cancer and heart attack survivor. I smoked a lot of cannabis from the 60’s thru to early 90’s. I was diagnosed with Lymphoma Non-Hodgkins in 2010 and the first thing I did was get my card. I couldn’t smoke it due to radiation sores in my mouth plus I discovered ingesting allowed desired effects up to seven hours. Today I ingest cannabis oil twice a day to stimulate my appetite and keep me mentally balanced. I belong to a senior group and there are now five of us using CBD topical for arthritis pain relief and muscle pain. It eradicated my IBS caused by cancer treatment. Before my cancer diagnosis I was on so many pharmaceuticals for depression, menopause and then more pills to counteract all the side effects. Today the only prescribed medications I have are for my asthma and heart. Cannabis keeps me physically and mentally balanced. I am also an activist who wants to see prohibition end.
It is sad that so many strayed Christians with Puritanical worldviews see anything pleasurable or helpful as immoral. They see it as defying “original sin.” Even worse they see pregnancy outside of marriage as a punishment for immoral intercourse. This worldview defeats the very message of true Christianity, substituting “magic words” for compassion and condemnation against forgiveness.

Don’t knock it if you have never tried I can’t even converse with strangers because of social anxiety but after I smoke I find it easier to start and hold conversations. So instead of me holding an internal dialogue of how much I hate humans I can actually think straight when I have to go out in public.
I have been a smoker for 35yrs. Moms and I were told by doc when I was 16y that it was helpful for my asthma. Now at 50y I suffer from the symptom of a rare disease called Ehlers-Danlos. The resulting SCAD, window maker heart attack,vascular pain,CPS,gastro issues and the pain of depression are overwhelming. I recently herniated 2 disks and awaiting surgery in 2 weeks. The pain I experience is intense the pain drugs do not take away all the pain nor do I want so much that I am totally numb. For me I find the stress and fears of life greatly alleviated along with the pain when I take a puff or two.I find that I am distracted by the negative aspects of my symptoms. Yes I have always been a recreational smoker but the real benefits of cannabis are showing and helping me more than any drug they have given me for anxiety, depression and pain combined.
Make sure you grow your own cannabis for personal use.
I recommend a cannabis strain called blue dream,
anyways this is what i have learnt,
First off put seed in soil and your away but you will need these items,
Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A+B Soil Amendments – plant food for cannabis,
Next you will need a microscope at least 100x magnifcation to check the resin to see if the resin/trichomes are milky white, if the trichomes/resin is transparent then this weed will make you paranoid.
So yea with microscope you check the resin which is where the thc is and when it turns amber that means it is ready for harvest, this is where cannabis has it’s relaxing effects/medical values are, the more amber resin the more medicine value your plant has but too much then you will experience couch lock.
Once the trichomes/resin is done the next step is flushing the plant to make the smoke less harsh and bring out the flavour.
Once it is harvest time when the trichomes/resin is milky white with amber resin/trichomes then you have to cut the plant up to dry for 7-14 days if the buds snap then it is ready for storage or smoke, storage put them in jars half level then everyday open the jar for 10 minutes for the curing process but this is for storing the cannabis.
I am a cancer survivor because of CBD. I had breast cancer (stage 4) and i don’t know how will I be cured but this friend of mine told me to try the CBD, at first I did not believe because my doctor doesn’t allow me to take some cannabis as a medicine and this is a fake medicinal treatment. But I read this https://www.greenmed.io/blog/almost-25-percent-cancer-patien that it really help others that’s why I tried it but I did not tell my doctor about it. So I take this for 11 months and it really helps me a lot. I know that others won’t believe me but trust me it really does.
