"There is a compound called CBD which is just as important as THC. It does not cause the high but it has a lot of therapeutic effects, and it is of extreme importance." ~ Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, discoverer of THC #hempoil #hemphelps #hemp #hempismedicine #cannabis #cbd #cbdoil #raphaelmechoulam #cbdschool #cbdhemp #cbdhempoil #cbdlife #cbdlove #cannaquotes #cannaquote #cannabiscommunity #cannabisnerd #israel #israelcannabis

I read a really cool article today about villages in India where cannabis has grown wild for thousands of years. The people of these villages make a special form of hashish called charas. This handmade hashish is very fine and sought after. From the NatGeo article: “A local woman carries a ganja bundle on her head while pulling resin from her hands.” #plants #ancientwisdom #cbdoils #cbdschool #cbdlove #hash #hashish #charas #india #bhang #lassi #hashoil #cbd #himalaya #himalayas #hempismedicine #hemp #hemphelps #hempoil

People sometimes ask me how I know a lot about cannabis and CBD. What little I know I’ve managed to learn from these great books and many research articles. But there’s still much to learn about this plant! #hempismedicine #hemphelps #projectcbd #hemp #knowledge #tailopez #books #cbd #cbdoil #cannabisbook #cannabiscommunity #cannabisnerd #hempseeds #cannabisoil #cannabis #cbdlove #cbdschool #cbdoils #ancientwisdom #plants

The creators of this old propaganda sure had a blast trying to convince people that cannabis would make you mad and crazy. I remember reading, I believe it was in Martin Lee's excellent book on cannabis history, Smoke Signals, that even back then people didn't take it too seriously. Seems as if they were suspicious of some conspiracy from the start! #hemp #history #CBD #cbdoils #cannabis #reefermadness #cbdoilforsale #cannabisculture #cannabisnerd #cannabisbook #projectcbd #martinlee #smokesignals #hemphelps #hempismedicine

Book I’m currently reading: CBD: A Patient’s Guide to Medicinal Cannabis — Healing without the High by Leonard Leinow and Juliana Birnbaum. Loving it so far. What books is everyone reading this weekend??

Some cool and simple diagrams to illustrate how cannabinoid receptors and the cannabinoids which activate them work. The simplest explanation is that receptors act like a 🔒 for which the cannabinoids, whether found in cannabis plants or produced by our own body, act as a 🔑 Diagram source: Cannabis: A Complete Guide by Ernest Small. #cbdhemp #cbdoil #cannabisnerd #cannabinoids #cannabisbook #endocannabinoidsystem #anandamide #THC #CBD #receptors #cells #science #hemphelps #hempoil #cbdlife #cbdlove #cbdlifestyle #cbdgummies

This table compares the environmental compatibility of all three major types of cannabis crops — marijuana, hemp, and oilseed — to 21 of the world’s major crops. The results are based on over 2 dozen criteria. I think good ol’ cannabis sizes up pretty well! 👌 Source: Montford, S. and Small, E. 1999b.

Hungry? Got the munchies? You can thank cannabis for activating your CB1 receptors. Many people who are in need of appetite stimulation rely on cannabis to help them eat and get food down.

Over a 100 years ago, Dr. William Osler said that cannabis was the best remedy for migraines. I know that migraine headaches can really suck and my heart goes out to people who suffer from them. Are any of you finding cannabis products to be beneficial for migraines or bad headaches?

Inhalation (smoking/vaping) and oral ingestion (edibles and capsules) are common delivery methods for cannabis products. Both have pros and cons. Inhalation is fast and easy to dose, but involves some possible irritation to the lungs. Oral ingestion avoids irritating the lungs and provides a longer lasting effect, but it can be harder to get the dose right and it takes longer to feel the effects. What’s your favorite method of delivery?

Dr. William B. O’Shaughnessy pioneered the use of cannabis in Western medicine. An Irish physician, he studied the use of cannabis to treat pain, inflammation, vomiting, convulsions, and spasticity. We owe him gratitude for his foresight as cannabis is used for many of these conditions to this day.
