"Cannabis and Breast Cancer"

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Every October, people all over the world show their support for everyone affected by breast cancer.Worldwide, breast cancer is the leading type of cancer in women, accounting for 25% of all cases. It is more common in developed countries and is more than 100 times, more common in women than in men.

Breast cancer is cancer that develops from breast tissue. Signs of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in breast shape, dimpling of the skin, fluid coming from the nipple, a newly inverted nipple, or a red or scaly patch of skin. In those with distant spread of the disease, there may be bone pain, swollen lymph nodes, shortness of breath, or yellow skin.

Patient surveys have provided important insights about how people use medical cannabis. About 42% of people diagnosed with breast cancer who completed a survey for breastcancer.org said that they used medical cannabis products to manage breast cancer symptoms or treatment side effects. People who used medical cannabis ranged in age, cancer stage, and treatment phase, and most of them they found it to be “very” or “extremely” helpful.(75%)

"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!

"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.
