The answer to that question depends on who you
ask. Medical professionals and politicians have similar objectives with
heated debates from the general community. Their goal is to maintain
sobriety, and keep marijuana out of the general public; but at what cost
to health and wellness of our society? You may remember my earlier blog
referencing how our diet, environment, household cleaning aids and
beauty products impact our overall health. We face the danger of disease
through exposure to toxic substances daily just by cleaning our
homes,feeding our families processed goods, or using soaps and lotions
containing toxic chemicals, dyes and preservatives. I live a very
natural lifestyle rooted in this belief, if it grows naturally,
somewhere there is a benefit. Remember, Imani's Secret Garden advocates
societal health and wellness through natural living.
Vocabulary lesson: Marijuana, Cannabis- a natural plant containing over 400 chemicals that can alter mental status, fight bacteria infection, and diseases.
Cannabinoids refer to any of a group of related compounds that include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis (marijuana). Are
you aware that our bodies make cancer cells daily and some of us never
develop life threatening disease. There is a trigger, unknown to
scientist to date, that causes this mechanism to go haywire mushrooming
into incurable disease. The cells that behave this way are a part of our
immune systems. The original purpose is to fight disease and
infection.You will be intrigued to discover how cannabanoids work in our
bodies. We already have receptors ready to bond with cannabanoids
producing new compounds to keep cell production in line, and reducing
or curing cancers without other forms of treatment. This fact verifies
we should eat naturally to fight disease as we have the tools all around
us. Superfoods are those vegetation containing multiple health
benefits without processing or refinement when taken in daily allowance
proportions.
The truth about cannibas and
hemp is they are both strains of Cannabis Sativa. Cannibas however has a
tawdry reputation attached to it as an illegal recreational drug,
blocking the usefulness it can serve to medical treatment of not just
cancer but a host of other diseases. Cannabis – whether Sativa, Indica,
Ruderalis, male, female, hermaphrodite, wild, bred for fiber, seeds or
medicinal resin – is a vegetable with every dietary essential product we
are unable to reproduce. Like, Essential Amino Acids, Essential Fatty
Acids, Essential Cannabinoid acids and hundreds of anti-Cancer compounds
all essential for brain, heart, and digestive health with many more
benefits.
Enough facts? Well now onto to
the lifestyle debate. Some of us in the community smoke this plant for
medicinal purposes, and other reasons...Just be aware that when you burn
anything you change the chemical makeup of that substance.The research
today is showing eating the vegetation as you would any other green,
provides the most benefit.It is recommended that you drink 4 – 8 ounces
of raw flower and leaf juice from any Hemp plant for great health
benefits. Some experts maintain the active ingredients through oil
production. Interestingly, THC the most beneficial property of this
plant, is reduced by hundreds of milligrams when the plant is burned
decreasing its therapeutic effects. THC is the compound that effects
the brain causing the euphoria or feeling of being stoned. This effect
is greatly limited with eating the plant. Supplement preparation of the
plant results in the loss of important compounds and the combined
effects of chemicals in our body that bond with the chemical compounds
from the full plant form.
So what should we do? Legalize it? Allow medical use only? What do you think?
