Post# of 1230
With the growing awareness that pharmaceutical companies are more invested in your money than in your mental and physical health, people are searching for alternative answers to their health problems.
The way we view "drugs" as a collective whole is changing. We're starting to realize not all "illegal" drugs are bad and not all "legal" drugs are good. In fact, sometimes the two can be intertwined.
More and more states are recognizing marijuana not only as a fairly safe recreational hobby but also as having medicinal value. In fact, research continues to show the positive effects THC and cannabinoid oil have on a variety of health issues. There is also an undercurrent of concern that this plant might replace many money-grossing therapies.
Dr. Christina Sanchez, a molecular biologist at Compultense University in Madrid, Spain, clearly explaining how THC the main psychoactive constitute of the cannabis plant completely kills cancer cells.
Cannabinoids refer to any group of related compounds that include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis. They activate cannabinoid receptors in the body.
The body itself produces compounds called endocannabinoids and they play a role in many processes within the body that help to create a healthy environment. It is also important to note that cannabis has been shown to treat cancer without any psychoactive effects.
Cannabinoids have been proven to reduce cancer cells as they have a great impact on the rebuilding of the immune system. Although not every strain of cannabis has the same effect, more and more patients are seeing success in cancer reduction in a short period of time by using cannabis.
Contrary to popular belief, smoking cannabis does not assist a great deal in treating disease within the body as therapeutic levels cannot be reached through smoking. Creating oil from the plant or eating the plant is the best way to go about getting the necessary ingredients, the cannabinoids.
The world has come a long way with regards to accepting this plant as a medicine rather than a harmful substance. It’s a plant that could benefit the planet in more ways than one.
Cannabis is not something offered in the same regard as chemotherapy, but more people are becoming aware of it, which is why it’s so important to continue to spread information like this. Nobody can really deny the tremendous healing power of this plant.
