new RAW cannabis research :)

So I came across a website once that touted the benefits of consuming raw cannabis, as opposed to smoking or ingested/eating/drinking cannabis in the cooked or denatured form. That website was www.cannabis.uk.net

The author of the website goes on to explain in a pseudoscientific way that it's the optimal way of consuming cannabis, especially if a person is in a raw food diet/lifestyle. The body becomes more alkaline or pH neutral in the raw food lifestyle, which gives the body increased ability to digest raw plant material, while also enhancing the taste of greens like cannabis. This changes the flavor of the cannabis leaves from peppery astringent taste to a complex fruity sweet taste unlike anything else on the planet. Being on the raw diet and then consuming cannabis leaves can give us a "high" unlike the intoxicating effects of ingesting it smoked or cooked/denatured.

He says, that perhaps we were not meant to consume the plant in it's denatured form, for that would get us intoxicated by THC. THC with cannabidiol or CBD the other major chemical in marijuana is supposed to balance out the effects of THC, otherwise it would make us go insane. THC causes the destruction of CBD receptors in our body which we use for endogenous (meaning made by the body, our own internal marijuana compouds like anandamide) cannabinoids (cannabis molecules) because we consume cannabis which gives us more THC to CBD chemical, or in the wrong ratio. Furthermore in the United States most strains on the market are "THC concentrates" with minimal CBD, for it's intoxicating effects. This gives rise to cannabinoid intolerance and chemical imbalances in the brain-body and the lasting withdrawal symptoms common in habitual smokers. Not to mention the burnout, the downer effect of smoking even if it's just once in a blue moon.

CBD is said to make one feel tired in the marijuana high. I believe CBD may not necessarily always have that role, especially if marijuana is consumed raw, and in the "raw food lifestyle" state that is enzyme rich, mineral rich, vitamin rich, fiber-rich, prana-lifeforce rich, and pH neutralizing. All the nutritional benefits of food in their undenatured "organic" forms. Yes some chemicals in plant foods aren't as easily digestible in their raw form but there are other nutritional benefits and chemical compounds that Are made more available and easily digestible in the raw state.

So I decided to search around the internet about it. What I found was that just recently there has been research being conducted by a scientist who owns the website www.leavesofgrass.info on the benefits of juicing cannabis and consuming cannabis in the raw form. It doesn't get you high but it has the most health benefits and not simply because it doesn't have the negative side effects from the smoke inhalation and THC.

Form of medical marijuana won't get you high, but it's creating a buzz
www.washingtonpost.com...


The idea I got from the above article is that CBD consumed in the raw form is perhaps the key link to establishing marijuana as a medicine. It's the most effective medicine in marijuana, and it's most effective when consumed raw. It probably doesn't get them "high" because they consume less THC while high, but also they have not done research on a person who is in the raw food lifestyle. Even so, perhaps we aren't supposed to feel an intoxicating high, but at least a sort of nutritional high.

So do some research, if you will on the following websites. Cannabis.uk.net , leavesofgrass.info and the above news article from washingtonpost. Or google. BUt these are good places to start.

Tetrahydrocannabinol [delta1-thc] vs Cannabinoid [delta9-thc] argument really comes down to the personal need of the patient. The brains receptors "sees" no difference in each compound and will accept each compound equally.

The medicinal properties of Cannabis come by each path ,via brain receptors for Chemo patients who will use Cannabis for nausea and appetite control and via from the body's ability to convert the nutritional properties of the Cannabis plant for curing the body of its disease. ie Cancer, Major organ problems.

Taking Cannabis internally in its Raw form will give the body the nutrients needed for the body to heal its self but, You can concentrate the dose by using a distilled form of the plant. Tetrahydrocannabinol is very soluable in organic solvent.

It is widely held that Cannabis (indica) is best for healing the body, and Cannabis (satvia) is best for nausea and appetite control.

The patient must choose the correct form that they need for their own healing needs.

So smoking Cannabis, Taking a distilled form internally and consuming Cannabis in its Raw form are all legitiment medicinal methods, each have its own merits.

Give Thanks to God for giving Man such a wonderful and benefical plant.

true. maybe I went a bit overboard on the whole raw concept.

What if we could still consume THC, yet in a "raw" form. Maybe it does necessitate that one be at least capable of breaking down the marijuana ingested to get the effects of THC from it.

Fermented marijuana products?

With rejuvelac? Or some kind of kombucha marijuana tea?

How about enzymatic isolation of THC?

Alcohol, lemon juice, whatever. The point is for the least amount of denatured material which has either turned into ash or toxin and keeping the most amount of nutrients and enzymes in their undenatured form.

Or just, by using a very good blender which breaks the cell walls of the fibers. Though blenders by expose it to frictional heat. A slow juicer might do. We dont need all the excessive fiber. Air drying at low temperatures is supposed to decarboxylate the THCA into THC naturally.

I like raw forms of food not to be a cultist or anything. But really the main point is undenatured nutrients, bioavailability, ease of digestion, least amount of toxins, non-acid forming, fiber rich etc. Preparation is just as natural and ancient as is tofu to extract protein from cooked soybeans. I even read there's a tofu recipe using raw sprouted soybeans. Sprouted hemp seeds would have a lot of enzymes I bet.

Cannabis cures some types of cancer and is a natural inflammatory reducer. Also it's great for appetite, sleep , pain relief, and a slew of other symptoms...


Cannabis is illegal because of the governments inability to profit from it, as well as it's one of the only drug that creates neuron networks in your brain while basically all others halt or destroy neuron networks...
