"A Survey of The Attitudes, Beliefs and Knowledge About Medical Cannabis Among Primary Care Providers"

Healthcare providers play a critical role in facilitating patient access to medical cannabis. 
However, previous surveys suggest only a minority of providers believe that medical cannabis confers benefits to patients. 

Significant new knowledge about the potential benefits and harms of medical cannabis has recently emerged. Understanding current attitudes and beliefs of providers may provide 
insight into the ongoing challenges they face as states expand access to medical cannabis.
The survey
This study was funded by the Mayo Clinic and the resercers conducted an electronic survey of primary care providers in a large Minnesota-based healthcare system between January 23 and February 5, 2018 published online in January 22,2019.
They obtained information about providers characteristics,attitudes and beliefs about medical cannabis, the provider comfort level in answering patient questions about medical cannabis, and whether providers were interested in receiving additional education.

"Study Appears the Bennefits of CBD To Healthy Volunteers & Epileptic Patients"

Anecdotal reports on the antiepileptic properties of marihuana (Cannabis sativa) are known since ancient times. Rosenthal in 1971 mentioned medieval Arab manuscripts in which cannabis is describedas a treatment for epilepsy, as diuretic, anti-emetic, anti-epileptic, antiinflammatory, painkilling and antipyretic properties, among others. During the 19th century several medical reports were published on the ameliorative effects of cannabis extracts on several forms of convulsions.

In spite of promising results and its low toxicity,the use of cannabis preparations for medical purposes progressively decreased.  This was due to the absence of standardized preparations, the unknown chemical composition, and the psychotropic secondary effects produced by cannabis. 

This study supported from the US National Institutes of Mental Health and published on acsalaska.net.

"About CBD Oil..."

With all the talk of Medical Marijuana and it’s many benefits, and  legalizing or decriminalizing Marijuana use both medically and for private use, it’s a wonder that CBD oil is still in its infancy.

A lot of people would never think about taking CBD oil. Others simply they just stay away from “dangerous” things like CBD. In fact, less than 5% of the public actually knows that there are very potent forms of CBD Oil derived from the hemp plant that have an incredible impact on human health and are legally available. Bottom line, is that the most of these reasons stem from lack of knowledge concerning CBD oil.

CBD Oil from the hemp plant will be the king of the Hemp and Cannabis world very soon, and it looks like we are all going to be a lot healthier because of it.

CBD Oil should be part of everyone’s daily health regimen!

CBD Oil also proving to be the ultimate “anti-disease” supplement that can boost the immune system and human endocannabinoid system… helping to promote better health and fend off disease and illnesses. There are a ton of scientific studies which have been performed on CBD, and a lot of them have specific results you will appreciate. 

So,when you think about CBD in a botanical sense, and you understand how your body reacts positively to something Mother Nature made, the decision becomes an easy one to make. CBD can be an effective wellness option for your body. Many health minded people are adding CBD Oil to their daily routine and reporting great benefits from doing so.


"Statement on Medical Cannabis by the IACM for the European Parliament"


February 2019

Dear esteemed member of the European Parliament,

We are European members of the Board of Directors of the IACM (International Association for Cannabinoid Medicines). We are basic researchers working in laboratories at universities andclinicians working in a medical practice or at a University.

In our laboratories we investigate the broad therapeutic potential of cannabis compounds and related molecules and in our medical practices we see how many seriously ill people benefit from a treatment with cannabis-based medicines. The spectrum of diseases ranges from chronic pain of various origins to chronic inflammatory diseases, from neurological disorders to diseases associated with loss of appetite or nausea, from psychiatric conditions to many other medical conditions.

"CBD For Muscle Recovery? Here’s What You Need To Know"


CBD has a lot of purported benefits with a lot of anecdotal (and some scientific) evidence to back those claims. Everything from helping cancer patients fight nausea, to acting as a sleep aid for people with insomnia, to reducing seizures in children with a severe form of epilepsy known as Dravet Syndrome.

While those seem like potentially huge breakthroughs, CBD is also said to help with smaller stuff, like helping you recover faster from workouts thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. Before you dive into a pool of CBD oil, here’s everything you need to know.
