"Cannabis and Cancer"

Cancer is the holy grail of medical research and it’s the most-coveted breakthrough of our time. (and the most profitable disease). 

If we could discover a way to prevent malignant cells from effect in the human body, not only would we save millions of lives, but we would end years of suffering and, we could finally feel superior from this illness.

But, is Cannabis a way that we can achive this?

Studies, so far, show that cannabis can kill all types of cancer cells, reduce angiogenesis and prevent from metastasis

One Treatment Doesn’t Fit All...

Cancer isn’t just one thing. It’s an umbrella term for a collection of related illnesses. What unites these is the method of mayhem: cancer divides and spreads like ants at a picnic. And because it’s not just one kind of ant, we’ve developed slightly different ways to deal with each species.

Standard cancer treatment must be adapted to the type and location of tumor. When cancer infects the brain, we can’t necessarily handle it the way we would handle cancer in the stomach. Even if the same treatments would effective at stopping the cancer, the collateral damage to brain cells is just too risky.

Although human trials and solid scientific research are still a ways off, early studies indicated that cannabis might be the one truly universal way to kill cancer cells and while chemotherapy and radiation have certainly helped humanity’s battle against cancer, research into the endocannabinoid system keeps new information about how cannabis can to prevent tumors to form, spread and turn deadly.

"The Begining of Western Medicine"

Our little story begins from the Middle Ages and with two powerful and very profitable products... Opium & Oil.

In 1803 Friedrich Sertuerner  discovers an active ingredient in opium which if you dissolved in acid and then neutralizing it with ammonia result of this is... Morphine. 

Morphine was not only the first alkaloid to be extracted from opium, but the first ever alkaloid to be isolated from plant. 

In 1827 E. Merck & Company of Darmstadt, begins the commercial manufacturing of morphine for healing purposes.  It would become a dominant manufacturer of morphine, codeine and cocaine.

When we think of Bayer we think of aspirin, definitly not heroin.... but in 1895 Bayer Company of Elberfeld, finds that diluting morphine with acetyls produces a drug without the common morphine side effects and the name for this new compound... Heroin   
  
And where you find acetyls to produce heroin?  Where did the acetyls come from?  Well, just like today they come from petrochemicals, and sudenly all this led us to a name.... "John D. Rockefeller" the oil baron... 

How To Use CBD For Unbelievable Sleep

These days, it is almost impossible for people to “turn off” between constant smartphone connection and rising digital social pressures, rates of insomnia and other sleep-related disorders 

Whether you toss and turn all night, or lay there thinking about the problems of the day, it can be frustrating not getting great sleep, especially if you’ve tried all of the things that are supposed to help:

• Exercising during the day
• “Winding down” an hour before bed
• Not consuming caffeine beverages in the afternoon
• Going to bed at the same time every night, with the same routine
• Stop drinking alcohol
• Creating a super dark room with blackout shades
• Putting in ear plugs
• Turning on the blue-light filter on your phones or putting away your devices completely before bed-time
• And every vitamin, supplement, and herb out there!

The fact is, sometimes you still can’t get a good night’s sleep. It’s not your fault there’s something bigger going on.

It can stop the racing thoughts, help you calm down and finally get the kind of deep, restorative sleep you’ve been dreaming about for YEARS. In this mega-guide, we’re going to show you how.

"CANNABIS & SPIRITUALITY"

The stoner stereotype is a familiar one that transcends cultures...

But as legalization allows cannabis to be discussed maturely, that trope seems like a dying remnant of the decades-long smear campaign against a plant that can truly impact our lives, culture, and economy in a positive way. 

With the relaxation of Cannabis stigma, people can explore a path of spirituality, studying the plant’s use as a tool for inner exploration and enlightenment.

Much like any other psychedelic substance, cannabis can be abused and consumed without respect to its potency, power, or healing potential. Certainly, there’s no harm in using it as a tool to relax and decompress from life’s daily stresses, but some might argue there’s a point of diminishing return when consuming copious amounts without setting the right intention.

And for religions that consider the plant sacred, this is typically their view on the use of cannabis — using it heedlessly is considered a sin or frowned upon, while using it for enlightenment or spirituality is accepted, and in some cases, encouraged.

"Prescription of a THC/CBD-Based Medication to Patients with Dementia: A Pilot Study in Geneva"

Dementia is characterized by a deterioration in memory, thinking, behavior, and autonomy in daily life activities. 

According to the World Health Organization, there were around 50 million persons worldwide suffering from dementia and this number is increasing with the global aging of the population in most countries. 

Currently, the options for treating BPSD (Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia) include pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies. Psychotropic medications are often used to reduce the frequency and severity of BPSD, but in the majority of patients, they provide only modest symptom control and important side effects.

The interest of cannabinoids in Alzheimer disease and other forms of dementia has increased first as neuroprotective drugs in animal studies. Indeed, some studies suggest a potential beneficial effect of CB1 and CB2 receptor agonists on reducing harmful β-amyloid peptide action and tau phosphorylation seen in Alzhei­mer disease as well as increasing intrinsic brain repair mechanisms.
