Depending on who you talk to, it’s either a dangerous weed rightfully blacklisted by the government as a societal vice – or it’s one of the most functionally versatile yet completely misunderstood plants ever to grace God’s green earth. I’m referring to the cannabis plant, the “forbidden herb” that’s rapidly earning itself a fresh reputation as nature’s healing alternative to everything from polluting fossil fuels to dangerous pharmaceuticals.
Perhaps you’ve heard a thing or two about cannabis in recent years. Perhaps you’ve wondered to yourself if this mysterious botanical specimen is really just a mind-altering “drug” that lazy people use to get high. Or if it just might be a panacea with the potential to “heal the nations,” as spoken of in ancient texts like the Holy Bible.
As we explore this taboo subject together, I encourage you to keep an open mind and consider all the facts surrounding one of the world’s most misconstrued plants. Based on what I’ve uncovered in my own studies, I’m now fully convinced that cannabis was placed on Earth by God for our collective good – and I’m very excited to share with you all that I’ve been learning about this amazing gift from nature.
Hemp vs. Marijuana: What’s the Difference?
I spent quite a bit of time researching the history of cannabis as part of my popular docu-series “The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest.” One of the things I came to realize is that this sacred herb was highly treasured for both its practical and medicinal utility long before it was misrepresented and demonized by corrupt private interests and pandering governments.
Hemp was critical to the establishment of the American colonies and was used to make rope, sails, paper, clothing, and more
Prior to the turn of the 20th Century, cannabis was viewed no more suspiciously than any other plant crop like tomatoes or corn. The American government actually encouraged farmers to grow cannabis. Its fibers are exceptionally strong and durable and convert quite nicely into rope, sails, paper, clothing, and various other textiles and materials.
Did you know hemp was considered so useful that in 1619 the Virginia Assembly passed legislation requiring all farmers to grow it for the betterment of the commonwealth? In fact, hemp was even allowed to be exchanged as legal tender in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland!
The type of industrial cannabis commonly grown by our nation’s forefathers is traditionally known as “hemp.” And unlike its polemically charged cousin “marijuana,” hemp can’t be smoked for psychological effects. Many people still don’t realize that there’s a difference between industrial hemp and marijuana, the latter being a slang term with its own sordid history that I’ll get into a little bit later.
But before I do, I think it’s important to point out that our forefathers grew both hemp and marijuana, according to the historical record. America’s first president, George Washington, wrote in his diary about how he separated his hemp plants during cultivation. This is exactly what growers today do to produce a particularly medicinal form of cannabis with higher levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (known as THC) – the primary psychoactive component in marijuana.
An excerpt from George Washington’s diary dated August 1765 reveals that this icon of historical Americana not only grew his own hemp cannabis for industrial use, but also psychoactive cannabis in the form of marijuana:
“Began to separate the Male from the Female hemp… rather too late,” Washington noted in his diary, adding that the male plants were visibly “coarser” and had “larger” stalks than the female plants.
Biologically speaking, both male and female hemp plants come from the same parent species, cannabis sativa. The difference lies in their respective functions. The utilitarian hemp plants are predominantly male, while the mind-affecting “marijuana” plants are all female.
This is an important distinction. It provides not only a historical context for why figures like George Washington separated the two, but also a practical understanding of how the plant is used today. When male cannabis plants come into contact with female cannabis plants, they fertilize the females and cause them to produce seeds. The males also prevent the females from producing the flowers used to produce psychoactive cannabis, which is why growers keep the two separate when producing potent cannabis to be used as medicine.
Was Cannabis Used by Our Founding Fathers?
Cannabis is an annual, flowering herb. Male plants are hemp, while only the female plants contain the psychoactive ingredient “marijuana” is known for
The fact that George Washington separated his male and female cannabis plants suggests that he utilized cannabis in much the same way as today’s dispensaries do – and he wasn’t alone. Former President Andrew Jackson is said to have smoked cannabis, as did our Founding Father Thomas Jefferson. According to historians, Jefferson illegally smuggled cannabis seeds to America from Europe – although there is no evidence he ever used the ensuing crops for recreational purposes.
Other famous names linked to cannabis include Benjamin Franklin and John F. Kennedy, both of whom appear to have smoked and/or ingested psychoactive cannabis.
Many ancient cultures throughout other parts of the world – including those in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East – also embraced cannabis as a natural remedy for common health conditions such as inflammation, glaucoma, indigestion, headaches, insomnia, and all sorts of other ailments. And specifically in the United States, cannabis was regarded as science-based medicine up until about 1942, prior to which time it even held a prized spot in the well-respected United States Pharmacopeia (a compendium of drug information).
The Drive to Demonize Cannabis
All of this changed, however, when corrupt textile and pharmaceutical interests began poisoning the minds of the public with politically-charged, anti-cannabis rhetoric during the 1930s.
Since many of the Mexican immigrants who were arriving into the U.S. at that time had a penchant for cannabis use, corrupt individuals in government and private industry capitalized on sweeping racist sentiment. Officials spread lies about how cannabis supposedly provoked rape and other forms of violence.
This is how the name “marijuana,” an etymological derivative of “Maria-Juana,” first came to be – the word being a slang term for the “devil’s weed” that was supposedly used by amoral Mexicans and blacks to corrupt the white population… or so the narrative went.
This irrational fervor stoked the early fires of prohibition beginning in the 1910s, which eventually led to incremental changes in laws governing cannabis use all throughout the country. Massachusetts was the first state to officially ban cannabis cultivation and use. As the federal government grew ever larger, a national effort to ban cannabis quickly followed.
Hemp was used for making paper for thousands of years. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution are printed on hemp paper
Harry J. Anslinger, who was appointed commissioner of the newly-created Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930, is credited as being “the architect of national prohibition.” His partner in crime, William Randolph Hearst, a lumber and paper industry baron (whose business interests were coincidentally being threatened by competition from the hemp industry), also played a critical role in vilifying and ultimately getting cannabis outlawed at the federal level.
“In 1937, the U.S. passed the first Federal law against cannabis, despite the objections of the American Medical Association (AMA),” explains Americans for Safe Access, an advocacy group currently working to undo the damage caused during this critical time in American history.
They go on to say that Dr. William C. Woodward, who was testifying on behalf of the AMA, told Congress that, “The American Medical Association knows of no evidence that marijuana is a dangerous drug” and warned that a prohibition “loses sight of the fact that future investigation may show that there are substantial medical uses for Cannabis.”
But none of this mattered in the end, as Anslinger, Hearst, and the rest of the anti-cannabis crusaders achieved their goal. Cannabis ended up being classified by the government as a Schedule I drug with no recognized medical use, landing it right alongside dangerous street drugs like cocaine and heroin in terms of its potential for abuse and harm.
Truth be told, this classification couldn’t be more inaccurate. And yet, looking at cannabis through any other lens than negative is still a difficult feat for many people who’ve bought into the “Reefer Madness” lie that cannabis is dangerous, useless, and has no place in society. The good news, though, is that the political winds are finally starting to shift and cannabis is once again making its way back into mainstream society.
Healing Properties of Hemp Oil and Seeds
Hemp seeds and hemp oil are legal to purchase in the U.S. and are rich in healthy omega-3 fats
Before I get into the nitty-gritty of all that cannabis has to offer as far as health benefits (from here on out when I speak of “cannabis,” I’m referring to the THC-containing kind that people smoke), I want to delve into the health benefits of non-psychoactive industrial hemp. This plant is used to make food products like hemp seeds and hemp seed oil that are legally sold nationwide.
Not to be confused with cannabidiol (CBD) oil derived from cannabis, which I’ll discuss later on, hemp seed oil and the seeds from which they’re derived are widely available at most grocery and health food stores. They’re considered food products because they contain only trace amounts of THC. Many people consume them in smoothies, on salads, or as dietary supplements.
Though it still can’t be legally grown in most places in the U.S. due to antiquated, prohibition-era laws that erroneously lumped it into the same category as psychoactive cannabis, hemp can be legally purchased and consumed throughout the U.S. and much of the rest of the world. Most hemp products sold in the U.S. today are imported from Canada, as Canada’s cultivation laws do differentiate between industrial hemp and psychoactive cannabis.
Hemp seeds and hemp seed oil are among the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids – including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – which has been shown to protect the heart, brain, and cardiovascular systems. Hemp seed oil is also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory food product that aids in boosting immune function.
Hemp Oil Soothes the Skin & Improves Blood Flow
People with skin problems may also benefit from consuming hemp oil. One study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment found that individuals with atopic dermatitis showed significant changes in their plasma fatty acid profiles and experienced improved clinical symptoms as a result of consuming hemp oil.
Hemp seeds are an excellent source of both fat and protein – roughly 25% of each seed is made up of “complete” protein, while another 30% is made up of high-quality fat. Plus there’s all the vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, and sulfur contained in hemp seeds.
Healthy blood flow is a crucial part of human health, and hemp seeds serve an important role in this area as well. Rich in arginine (an amino acid that promotes vasodilation), hemp seeds fuel the body’s production of nitric oxide, which helps relax and expand blood vessels to reduce blood pressure and increase blood flow. In fact, hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids, which is why they’re considered to be a complete protein. Hypothetically speaking, one could consume nothing but hemp seeds and still maintain pristine health due to the full-spectrum nutrients packed into every kernel.
Shelled hemp seeds are also an excellent source of fiber, both soluble and insoluble, which means smoother sailing for your digestive tract. With colon cancer rates on the rise, adding more hemp seeds to your diet is a great way to help prevent fecal buildup and keep your intestines in tip-top shape.
As I mentioned earlier, industrial hemp is legal in all 50 states, so you’re free to purchase it locally or order it online. I’m partial to the Nutiva brand of both hemp seeds and hemp seed oil because Nutiva products are certified organic; they’re available practically everywhere; and the company is a certified B corporation, meaning it maintains rigorous operations standards that include protecting workers, promoting environmental sustainability, and working towards a zero-waste production model.
Cannabis, the All-in-One Miracle Medicine
Cannabis has countless medicinal uses and has been used to treat conditions ranging from insomnia to cancer
There’s also an array of health benefits to be derived from full-spectrum, female-plant cannabis, which is still outlawed federally. Because it’s been demonized for so long, psychoactive THC (which is abundant in cannabis), remains a bogeyman in many people’s minds. But this key compound holds its own special place in natural healing that you simply can’t get from non-psychoactive industrial hemp.
A little background may be relevant here. Cannabinoids are a class of chemical compounds that act on the so-called “cannabinoid receptor proteins” in our body and brain. These receptor proteins can bind to and get activated by the “endocannabinoids.”
Endocannabinoids come from three sources:
- They are produced naturally in the brain and nervous system (interestingly, they are also found in breast milk)
- From phytocannabinoids, including THC, which are found in cannabis and some other plants
- Synthetic cannabinoids that are manufactured artificially.
Like the many other cannabinoids found in cannabis, THC binds to cannabinoid receptors throughout the body – particularly in the brain – where it helps alleviate pain. THC feeds the body’s innate endocannabinoid system while either stimulating or sedating the brain and body. Cannabis strains of the sativa variety are typically associated with brain “highs,” while indica cannabis is most often associated with body relaxation.
There are also quite a few variations within these two categories, including sativa-indica hybrid strains that exert both body and brain effects. There are literally hundreds of different cannabis strains offering a wide variety of health benefits, and with suitability for both daytime and nighttime use so patients can focus, sleep, or do whatever it is they need to do at a particular moment in time.
There are hundreds of different cannabis strains offering different effects and healing benefits
Cannabis in general is packed with an array of special healing phytocannabinoids, of which there are over 85 different types depending on the strain. Each phytocannabinoid offers its own unique therapeutic benefit, with the two most well-known being THC and CBD. But there are also many others like CBC, CBG, and CBN – as well as the “acid” forms of both THC and CBD, known as THCa and CBDa, respectively, which are found in raw cannabis leaves and buds.
“When cannabis is consumed, cannabinoids bind to receptor sites throughout our brain (receptors called CB-1) and body (CB-2),” explains the cannabis information resource Leafly. “Different cannabinoids have different effects depending on which receptors they bind to. For example, THC binds to receptors in the brain whereas CBN (cannabinol) has a strong affinity for CB-2 receptors located throughout the body. By aiming the right cannabinoid at the right receptors, different types of relief are achievable.”
In fact, Leafly has created a “Cannabis Wheel” infographic that offers a visual depiction of the various cannabinoids found in cannabis – and what each one does in the areas of chronic pain, sleep, gastrointestinal health, mood, behavior, and neurological balance.
What is CBD?
CBD is another cannabinoid that, unlike THC, produces no psychoactive effects. This is because CBD binds to cannabinoid receptors throughout the body, rather than only in the brain. This means CBD is able to effectively alleviate symptoms like nausea and vomiting, seizure activity, inflammation, neurodegenerative disorders, anxiety, depression, and psychosis, while also combating tumor and cancer cells.
CBD is just one of over 60 active cannabinoid compounds that feed the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is made up of endogenous (originating within the body) cannabinoid receptors designed specifically for the cannabinoids found in cannabis. These receptors are found throughout the human brain, as well as in the central and peripheral nervous systems – and each receptor site is specifically suited for a certain type of cannabinoid.
The trichomes (“hairs”) on the cannabis plant secrete pungent oils called terpenes
Cannabis also contains aromatic oil compounds known as terpenes that, like cannabinoids, bind to cannabinoid receptors throughout the body and brain. Terpenes are the pungent oils secreted by cannabis trichomes, those crystal-like “hairs” that give cannabis buds their snow-covered gleam.
Terpenes are what furnish each cannabis strain with its own unique scent and flavor profile, and are similar in nature to those found in common plant-based essential oils that you might use in a diffuser to make your home smell pleasant. There are more than 100 different terpenes that have thus far been identified in cannabis, generating all sorts of pungent flavors and smells ranging from pine and citrus to berry and mint.
Terpenes interact synergistically with cannabinoids to produce what is called an “entourage effect,” enhancing the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids. Terpenes bind to the same receptor sites throughout the body and brain that cannabinoids do, regulating and altering their respective chemical outputs. Terpenes also help modulate how much THC passes through the blood-brain barrier, along with helping to mitigate brain neurotransmitter production, including both dopamine and serotonin.
Cannabis strains rich in the terpene beta-myrcene, for instance, tend to have a musky, earthy aroma and are commonly used to help induce sleep. Strains containing limonene tend to have a distinct citrus aroma, with this particular terpene helping to elevate mood and relieve stress. Other common terpenes found in cannabis include linalool, beta-caryophyllene, alpha-pinene, and humulene.
Leafly has produced another helpful “Terpene Wheel” infographic that offers a full breakdown of six of the most common cannabis terpenes, including their scent characteristics, biological function, other plants in which they’re found – and most importantly, the cannabis strains in which they’re most commonly present.
Don’t Be Misled: Full-Spectrum CBD Oil Comes from Cannabis, Not Hemp
Perhaps you’ve heard the story of young Charlotte Figi, the Colorado girl whose nightmarish epileptic condition was effectively cured with a CBD-rich strain of cannabis known as “Charlotte’s Web.” Ever since her amazing story went public, people across the country have been seeking out CBD oil for their own conditions which – because of inconsistent, patchwork cannabis laws – has created a market for hemp-derived CBD oils that are legal in all 50 states.
Know what you’re buying. CBD oil from cannabis is more potent and healing than CBD oil made from hemp
While hemp does contain some CBD, CBD oils derived from hemp are not the same as CBD oils derived from full-spectrum cannabis, as the two plants have variant cannabinoid profiles. True CBD oil derived from full-spectrum cannabis (which is not yet legal in all 50 states), is much more potent and healing than the hemp-derived kind. Hence the dire need for major cannabis reform both at the state and federal levels.
If you currently live in a state or country where cannabis is still illegal, either medically or recreationally, you may wish to contact your legislators and urge them to introduce or support reform initiatives to end cannabis prohibition.
Building the Biblical Case for Cannabis
As a Christian myself, I recognize that some readers may be wondering whether or not cannabis use is congruent with their religious convictions. I’m excited to tell you that from a Biblical perspective I’m fully convinced that cannabis is safe, beneficial, and good for humanity. Here are a few Biblical passages that help make the case…
In Genesis 1:29, God offered up an edict to Adam in the Garden of Eden, declaring, “I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Cannabis is a seed-bearing plant that freely grows like a weed, so it falls into the category of plants given to mankind by God.
In Hebrew and Aramaic translations of the bible (Exodus 30:22-24), God instructs Moses about how to produce the holy anointing oil, one of the ingredients of which is “Q’aneh-Bosm” (also translated as “Kaneh-Bosem”) which many Biblical scholars believe refers to cannabis. Phonetically speaking, this would appear to be accurate.
The Book of Revelation also speaks of a “tree of life” that “yield[s] her fruit every month” and whose leaves “were for the healing of the nations.” There’s been much debate over the identity of this mystical tree, with compelling arguments to suggest that this verse might just be talking about cannabis.
On the flip side, just a few chapters earlier in Revelation 18:23, the book’s writer, John, speaks of all nations being deceived by the “sorceries” of Babylon. The Greek word for sorceries, in this context, is pharmakeia, the root word from which we’ve derived the words pharmacy and pharmaceuticals. Now there’s some food for thought!
Considering the diversity of health benefits to be gained from cannabis – and the fact that it’s a seed-bearing plant blessed by God and the Biblical proof texts that suggest cannabis was one of the ingredients God mandated for use in the holy anointing oil, I’m fully convinced that cannabis is a true gift from God.
I hope you feel the same way, or at the very least now recognize that there’s so much more to this sacred plant than you’ve likely been told.

Excellent article, Mr Ty. I’ve been following your “The Truth about cancer series” since my husband got prostate cancer, and it is been quite a jorney.. Thank God, my husband is free of cancer right now!!! I would like to know where can I get the “True CBD oil derived from full-spectrum cannabis”. You said that its illegal in 50 States, so, what are my options to buy it??? Thank you again for all the help you are giving to people!!!
here is where I get mine, I am treating lymphoma. God Bless!
http://www.merileek.myctfocbd.com/
Mkenning, Ty said that it cannot be purchased in all 50 states. It is illegal. Maybe what you are buying is not pure?
What she is buying is made from hemp, which is good but not as good as oil made from cannabis. Cannabis oil is legal in many states. Look up norml.org to learn where it is legal. Do not bring this back to your state if your state doesn’t allow it. Instead, lobby your neighbors and state officials to make it legal. No one has the right to make beneficial plants illegal, they only do this out of greed. Best wishes and good luck!
I think this is simply a grammatical misunderstanding? Ty said “ not yet legal in all 50 states” meaning it is legal in some but not others. That’s the way I interpreted it anyway.
It is legal to buy in Oregon, Washington, and Colorado.
I sincerely appreciate all the info concerning natural healing.
Where is the safest place to purchase organic CBD oil
Have you tried HempWorx? It’s Co2 extracted and helps me a lot!
Where can I get this CBD oil for my husband and pet?
Hi Ty
Great article about the healing properties of cannabis CBD oil. Like all gifts from our Creator it can be and has been misused and abused . Back in the seventies I was addicted to THC as were many others in our military who were exposed to it during the Vietnam war era. We were using highly concentrated forms of THC known back then as hashes, abuse of which can and did produce negative side affects similar to alcohol abuse. There are thousands of plant based nutruciticals native to different regions of the world that could all be classified as “scared” regarding their use for healing and medicinal purposes Hyssop being one that is mentioned in the bible. The Hyssop being referred to in scripture being the Origanum Vulgare a wild mountain-grown oregano found only in the Mediterranean and recognized by biblical scholars as the Hyssop in all biblical scripture and used by Moses and others for medicinal purposes as is the olive tree both of which were used as anointing oils in biblical times. I have seen the “sacred” plant series on cannabis and would not elevate it to the point of being the ” The Tree of Life ” mentioned in the book of Revelation as it is but one of many God given plants as scripture does state that “healing is in the leaves of the trees ” ( trees being plural ). True science is also a gift from God as it enables man to study the natural world of plants etc. and learn what the compounds and properties are about them that promote and enhance all life forms on earth !
The pharmaceutical industry as you well know opposes the use of natural medical plants such as cannabis because it cuts into their profits being made off of synthetic drugs etc. that have more negative side effects than they do health benefits !!
This GOD created All Humans With Cannabis Receptors designed to Receive or Connect with Cannabis Molecules Oils etc. Google Deaths from Cannabis look at the Zeros in Results. Lots of Zeros. So is it safe. i think so. Look at deaths from Asprin in UK England. 4000? Also God Given Salacylic ? Acid From Willow? Blood Thinner to much can Kill. Heroin Made made from Opium poppy Can Stop the Heart if to much is used . Overdose. body stops breathing no Oxygen no Heart beat no more life. oh Concentrated Cannabis Gum or Resin is called Hashish Assassins were once reputed to Use it before Fight or Battle. ..But it usually Makes people Mellow happy Smiling. Thren Wanting Food The “Munchies” And Smoke went up his Nostrils or Out his nostrils is Mentioned a few times in Bible in Psalms, Revelations, Same Words in Two or Three Places. So How else to Describe Smoking the Herb? on Coals to create Smoke. The Burning Bush ….The tree of Life the cementer of Friendship.
My 40 year old son has heart issues and diabetes. He develops blood clots and is in Afib and frequently goes into Afflutter. He also has ventricle problems . He is on several drugs…..heart meds, blood thinners and anti-anxiety/depression pills. He has 3 small children that he is responsible for and he can no longer work. From your experiences in helping people, do you have any suggestions of what he can try , to help him get and feel better, besides prayer and a miracle……we sure need one!! Really like what I’ve read so far and want to learn more, Thank you!
Cathy,

I had a fib for years. Seven years ago I started using cod liver oil and haven’t had an another episode.
Dr. Ernie Marino
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Ernie!
Hawthorn berries are an effective herb, for those suffering from atrial fibrillation, and when taken in combination with Ginkho and nattokinase, provide natural blood thinners that are not poison to the body. I have treated my 91.5 year old mother for over a decade, and she takes a single dose of Sotalol AF, halved, every am and Pm. So we have minimized how much medicine she has to take. Hawthorn berries strengthen the heart, effectively delivering more O2 with each beat. The Ginkho and Nattokinase are used as blood thinners , but CANNOT be taken in addition to Cumaden or RX blood thinners.
Check out the medical medium website and look at Epstein Barr virus and the heart. Eggs, dairy and fat are among the most important foods to avoid but there are plenty of foods to include that would help him.
Do you sell this oil? Where can I purchase this product?
Lisa,
We do not sell this oil and we do not have specific recommendation for a trusted brand at this time.
Can I order CBd oil from ur website? No thc in it, right?
Bonnie,
We do not sell CBD oil at this time.
This is a fabulous and very informative report. Thank you so much for it.
Thank you for your comment Wendy!
“Thank you Ty for a wonderfully informative article. You have a gift for explaining “difficult-to-understand” health information. I have read other articles on this same topic, that were a bit confusing and left me believing that the medicinal CBD oils were derived from the hemp plant. Thank you for clarifying that.
Hi TY Bollinger the subject on Cannabis i do agree withe Holy Bible on these 3 Chapters
i attend many conferences of the Scriptures u mention and truly u don’t hear one Minister of any
denomination touch upon these Scriptures here.
Genesis Chapter 1 vs 29 the leaders do not touch upon this certainly this what we all need to do is to start researching the Scriptures for our selves not wait for man to tell us what he wants us to
know. We go to Revelation Chapter 18 vs 23 read for themselves many of our eyes will open to
the truth the Word donot lie .
Exodus Chapter 30 verses 22-24 we need to read the Word for our benefit we’ ll do well for our
selves and share the info with ur neighbors.
I thank u Ty very much we’re blind our eyes are not fuller open to the Miracles of the Bible it’s
there we need get the family / friends involved in these Scriptures.
I know I am years later.. I went through hell over my son first then my grandaon.all started with use of Pot…I have.watxhed.both of their lives go down the drain. I now.have to take care of my 47 year old.son my life’s shot as A RESULT. It also says when they were kicked out of the garden of Eden.what happened? In Genesis 4:17, 18, 19, weeds would spring forth,.thorns and thistles God Said by the sweat of your brow you would work the land to try and make your living..the part of the plant giving a high is used by the enemy who comes to Kill, Steal and Distroy. Many large studies show use in the teen years of getting high on pot has created increases in schizophrenia…the reference of leaves of the tree.for the healing of the nation’s is a tree not a plant and it’s in heaven not on earth!
The medicinal properties are to be taken oral not heated or cooked or smoked ok so it’s legal now. so all this decriminalized pot uses lead to unproductive lives.potheads are real people! They dont just eat it or use just CBD….Now I cannot go outside in evenings (cuz every neighbor is using in Ariz but one around me) with out the stench of skunk..disgusting… so you make your own choice people do not take care of their children right on it, because of it. Kids get over dosed on it. Check the records benson TV news here…They make stupid driving mistakes that have taken lives.. my guys even blew it in my pups face had to take her to the vet sick documented.. you think I allowed that I was not home..grandson has been banned for long time. Love and pray for him from a distance.. Son’s Phyc dr. Warned what it would do to him. Heck I already knew as I lived it phyc breaks brought on by grandson bringing of pot to his dad.. no thanks..
I agree. I do try to have an open mind and examine things from imperial evidence and biblical study. I do believe they have taken great liberties of their interpretation of scripture to try to justify the use of the psychotic form of the plants (not a tree).
This bothers me greatly because I have had a very high regard for TTAC.
Still researching science and bible.
Thank you for this most informative article on hemp. I only wish I had the use of it for chronic pain because my pain doctor has lowered it below benefitual amounts.
Greed in America is unbelievable.
We are so glad that you found this article informative Mera! Wishing you all the best.
Dear people, when I first tried out cannabis at the early age of fourteen, it felt as if I was coming home. Already before knowing anybody in my neighbourhood who had ever experimentized it I was instinctly highly interested in the fenonomen witch came under my atention by the media. In my mind it was firmly connected to the original hippymovement and their search for love and peace. I am now 64 and ready to celebrate a 50 year long happy relationship with this truly miracules plant. I furder congratulate all reseachers on the item for their priceless contribute to make Cannabis even more blesfull for all human beings.
Ty,
I wish people would mention the beautiful video describing Dr. Raphael Mechoulam’s lifelong
research (biochemistry) into the components of the cannabis plant, and the fact that the cannabidiol is accepted practice to ease pains in nursing homes. We don’t have to re-invent the
wheel; it’s been done~!
I am a suffering senior with knee pain, and CBD in the US is terribly pricey at the dispensaries. I also had to pay an initial $300. just to apply for medical marijuana in NY. Ridiculous.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Helen!
This plant can save millions of lives on this planet. Lets all put our minds and promote it.
I need more literature to support me in the crusade to to promote it here in Africa
This is all great informative stuff Ty Charlene and the rest of your team. If only the legislators would start listening/reading! Keep up the good work.
i have had three weeks of radiation after the removal of a chordoma(cancer) just under the brain. My body could take no more! This was my third brain surgery in a period of 30 years. not having radiation before was a blessing I had not realize and was due to extenuating circumstances. I am much interested!!!! Surgery was April 2, 2018. I am one week with out radiation and recovering!

Great website. Plenbty of helpful info here. I’m sending it to several friends
ans also sharing in delicious. And naturally, thanks on your effort!
I’ve read in several places that THC proliferates cell growth in hormone positive breast cancer only. Do you have any research on this?
i try a joint about 25 years. never again. after less a minute, i freaked out; panic and psychosis. since then, i will make a wide bow arround cannibis. but all in all in believe that cannabis oil is good. neverthenless; how can you be sure that you will get again a psychosis?
Interesting information..
Greatly appreciate this very informative and well researched article. I have found so much relief from chronic pain with cannibus that I’m grateful the tide in the us is finally turning. I live in Alaska where it is legal and thank God everyday for this amazing plant.
I’m not living in a “legal” state to get CBD but can buy hemp oil at health food stores here. Am I wasting my money since hemp products are less potent? Can non-legal state residents order full-spectrum CBD oil online and be legally safe?
So grateful to live in Canada, where marijuana was just legalized. I am hoping this will mean more hemp and CBD as well as safe smokable and edible products. It is ridiculous that this plant has been illegal for so long.
As a certified aromatherapist/reflexologist, I use CBD cream and essential oils which have an incredible synergistic effect on my clients as well as recommend the 10X CBD that is water soluble from CBDCloud9.myctfocbd. They have a 60 day money back guarantee – so you have absolutely nothing to lose. If it works for you, then you have just found a high potency, full spectrum, purity tested, CBD Hemp oil that will change your life!
I had Prostate cancer surgery 9.5 years ago, staged T3b. I did not have additional treatment. I have been consuming as much cannabis oil that I can and still function since then. Recent PSA <.006.
Hi Robert,
We are glad that you are doing better now! Best wishes.
What has happened to the Doctor (very broken accent) maybe from Russia who was, last I read, being sued for curing cancer patients using other methods than Chemo, etc.??
I’ve prayed for him and want to know how he is and what has happened with his case.
Thank you and Charlene for all your wonderful investigating and information!
Can you tell me what type of Cancers this helps. I have non-hogdkins lymphoma. I started Chemo this week for a four inch mass on my spine. I have many prayer warriors helping me and I pray to God it helps. I want to know what kind of oil would help me with my cancer and pain and sleepless nights. Thank you. Tammy
Hi Tammy Chaga tea and CBd oil help me with the spine pain I have stage 4 breast cancer
Tammy, I am sorry for your suffering. Did you get an answer about the cbd oil?
Cannabis v Cannabis
There is just One thing absolutely out of reality with this otherwise fine article and that is there is No such thing as “Marijuana” Not as a Plant nor a substance.
There is no Plant registered under the name “Marijuana” in any plant Register, anywhere worldwide.
“Marijuana” does not exist Botanically and therefore not a Legal Term usable in Court.
The Only Botanical and Legal term for the Cannabis Plant is : >Cannabis SativaCannabis< when talking about the Cannabis Plant in every capacity as "Marijuana" does not Exist.

How can we make Cbd oil from Cannabis on our own?
Suffering from mold toxicity, looking fwd to your talk at the summit. I’m trying to learn more about cannibis, but getting conflicting information.
I live in CO. Where do I buy the cleanest and most effective oil to help recover? Immune system, anxiety, insomnia issues, 6 mos out from starting csm, antifungals, supplements, saunas….
I bought hemp full spectrum cbd oil, but thinking now the marijuana derived one might be more beneficial?
Thank you for advise….I’m in a pool of new info while trying to heal my family and deal with my home 😞.
I am born again Christian and have not found any prohibition to natural plant products. Know for instance aspirin is originated from the Salix family, willow, and find chewing willow bark more pain relief from that, than commercial aspirin.
Now, THC has places that’s not appropriate to use such as hunting or driving.
As age sets in, so does pain. I’m 20 years a survivor with after effects of chemo such as heart weakness, eye, ear, taste, smell and other problems. Plus other aches and pains from construction work, shock, strain, breaks.
I’m not a smoker at all. Wondering about oils and ingested greens effects. Live in remote, rural area of CA. THANKS FOR article.
This very educational and I feel a must for everyone to read
They made cannabis legal last October in Canada, but you can only purchase it online
