It's a good medicine herb, but, you still must use it intelligently. Like anything it can be, and will be corrupted, to become something to control people with. Good information here.
I'm so glad to see an article on cannabis. If only we utilized this amazing plant we would be super flushed with grandness. No wonder the government took it away. Think of all the trouble they took to eradicate it using helicopters and infrared lights to spot it and laws to jail people for using it or growing it. Humans are so retarded by their belief in government. And to think 50% of pharmaceuticals are aimed at destroying the body's receptor that fights disease. I love the picture you painted of a world where we live in great health. Imagine too where our waters were clean, our air and soil and sky - all pristine and we were a vigorous thriving species. All other species would benefit too. We could make petrochemicals obsolete as hemp, bamboo and kenaf have the ability to replace all that with massive health and environmental benefits.
Hemp is all but a miracle plant. The history of the attack on weed stems from hemp, not marijuana.
Hemp grows quickly and is capable of producing much higher quality paper than trees are. It's super replenishable.
It also has incredible healing/health properties among numerous other benefits.
The government launched its attack to help certain industries thrive without which the suppression of hemp it wouldn't have been nearly as possible. The history of the government's assault on hemp is fascinating.
love your content when i have a few hours to watch - and why i really appreciate shorter pieces that i can actually fit into my schedule, because i rarely do have that time to!
Many of these studies that claim that cannabis has medicinal properties are flawed or paid for by the marijuana industry and lobbyists (which also makes them flawed). While CBD has some medicinal properties, THC can be incredibly dangerous, especially at the levels found in today's marijuana. As opposed to the '60s and '70s where it was maybe only 2%, it's now well over 50%.
With the extreme rise in psychosis, violence, paranoia, depression, and suicide that correlates with the relaxed regulations around marijuana and the rise in usage, I'd suggest checking out this book before promoting it as some cure-all. We've long known that marijuana can cause people to become schizophrenic. And it's not just people who have the genes for it that experience these psychotic breaks. Extensive use of the drug or the wrong dosage can trigger temporary schizo episodes.
It's legal where I live, thank God. I use CBD daily and it's great for joint pain, which began at a pretty young age. I also have cut down on inflammation through diet, no sugar, few carbs etc.
I've also used THC for pain, and would prefer it to addictive pharmaceuticals, which I wouldn't take, including after an operation, though for the operation you have no choices. It's also possible to control pain with imagery, etc. However, I don't like getting high, it's a really unpleasant experience for me. I feel the same about alcohol. I'm not a prude and am fine with other people who want to use it for that.
If I have pain I take CBD and follow it with the THC 20-30 minutes later. The CBD blocks the high to a large extent, but not all the way. And is great for pain. I also normally take it at night. But I don't normally need it for pain except for injury, etc, tho have used it enough to see the same thing each time with the combo. I may try microdosing thc to see what that does. I'd point out that each person is different and so your own experience should be your guide, and if you manage to find a good functional medicine doctor, talking it over with him/her could be valuable.
Taking CBD daily likely has other health effects and I'm grateful for that.
Someone I know in another state, Ohio, where they voted to legalize growing it for personal use, up to 12 plants, then the state wanted to cut it back to six plants. Welp, because there are male and female, that means you may have a hard time getting enough female plants if growing from seed. All kinds of shenanigans.
If you haven't read it, The Emperor Wears No Clothes: A History of Cannabis/Hemp/Marijuana by Jack Herer is a fantastic history/resource book about it. So glad you're writing about it.
Without you knowing it, you're promoting "altered states of mind" which is one of the many new age pagan agenda activities.
You all go on about the good qualities of cannabis, how it can be used to improve the health of someone who is ill, but these are a very tiny minority, isn't it?
It's like heroin, cocaine, etc... they're used in some cases to help certain health conditions, but that doesn't mean they're good for people in general.
What most defenders of cannabis really want is to be off head with it, have a 'high'.
Plus for those who are christians, it's a sin!
There are tons of legions of people who smoked that stuff when they were growing up, and end up with serious different types of dysfunctions.
Finally, with any addiction, you've to take in consideration one of the biggest addiction's traits: compulsion, meaning, wherever they are doing or taking, they ALWAYS want more, and more, and more.
I fear that the cannabis you could get about 20 years ago and what you get nowadays are very different… I remember getting smarter/sharper when I used to smoke. The stuff that's legal now just makes you dumb and horny. I'd bet the reason why it's getting legalized is because they've perfected the tweaked substance to make people apathetic and numb instead of introspective and more attuned to the universe.
Yeah, there are also downsides to much cannabis use especially high thc varieties or manufactured concentrates. Getting High is fun though and entertaining for a little bit. There might be some benefits but not for most people especially young people, in opinion and in published studies. Paranoia, laziness, and short term memory loss to name a few downsides.
I agree that hemp industry has been criminalized for monopolistic purposes, it's an amazing crop. But the existence of receptors in the body and the claims of "super efficiency" are laughable. Look at the countries and communities where people smoke pot all day, tell me they're super efficient and healthy. Just enjoy your mind-altering drugs and don't pretend it's some miracle molecule for humanity.
I'm 8 days sober from cannabis. While it helped tremendously for my anxiety and PTSD, my lungs told me they wouldn't be able to work as long if I continued to smoke on the daily.

Thank you, Ryan, for this vital information informing Americans of the many health benefits of Cannabis.

Another thing big pharma doesn't want you to be using!
Ryan, I'm always impressed at the accuracy and volume of your output. Bravo!

thanks much for all your work
Have you ever looked into the research carefully curated and documented by Alex Berenson in Tell Your Children? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40538979-tell-your-children

two things Sativa, Indica, or blend--each has its own characteristic effect
and, as in everything, the dose controls
