In a recent study published in the American Journal of Pathology, the active compound cortical cannabiboid type 2 (CB2) and the receptor cannabinoid trans-caryophyllene (TC) helps keep the brain and heart oxygenated instead of suffocating on plaques and congested arteries. Specifically, it was found that these compounds can spark recovery among ischemic brain injury patients.
There are three types of cannabinoid receptors in mammals: one set is contained in the ligands of the human body, cannadinoids such as THC are produced by the Cannabis plant, and synthetically created cannabinoids (like HU-120). The two subtypes of cannabinoids (CB1 and CB2) are of interest to those who have brain ischemia – a condition when high cholesterol and other plaques form on the inner walls of arteries or in cerebral tissue and keep oxygen from reaching the vital organs of the brain and heart.
Without any psychoactive side effects, the TC oil derived from Cannabis Sativa was very effective at protecting the brain from ischemia or oxygen deprivation. Cannabis Satvia oil protects the neurons and also ensures that mitochondria depolarization does not occur.
According to a study in theAmerican Journal of Physiology – Cell Physiology:
“Mitochondria are central for various cellular processes that include ATP production, intracellular Ca2+ signaling, and generation of reactive oxygen species. Neurons critically depend on mitochondrial function to establish membrane excitability and to execute the complex processes of neurotransmission and plasticity.”
Add yet another beneficial use for hemp – it already has over 25,000 applications! Who can guess why it isn’t legal in more than a few states? Surely, the pharmaceutical companies stand to gain nothing from this plant, but civilization certainly does. Maybe as states legalize industrial and medical hemp, we can start utilizing it in other states to protect the brain from neurodegeneration, cancer, and countless other ailments.
Shown to ease tension, reduce nausea, and even treat cancer, cannabinoids in the hemp plant have been used medically since 2737 BC. It is also a fundamental ‘herb’ in Chinese medicine and utilized in Ayurvedic medicine. Is it possible that the myriad uses of hemp coming to our awareness are still growing, or are they simply being re-discovered?

Sick people being condemned to a painful, lingering death due to using a medicinal plant that doesn’t have the blessing of Big Pharma? It’s the American Way!
After being diagnosed with liver cancer in 2009, Norman B. Smith applied to the liver transplant list at Cedar-Sinai hospital. While waiting for a transplant, Mr. Smith underwent chemotherapy in an attempt to destroy the cancer eating away at his liver. This caused severe side-effects, common to many cancer patients. In an attempt to curb the pain, and on the recommendation of his oncologist, Mr. Smith began using medical marijuana. Cannabis has become increasingly common as a medicine of choice for patients undergoing chemotherapy, since it increases appetite and reduces pain—minimizing the chance of a patient developing cancer related wasting syndrome. Finally, in September of 2010, Mr. Smith was notified that he was eligible for a liver transplant and was placed on the liver transplant list. Mr. Smith continued his treatment and submitted to drug testing per the hospital’s transplant list policy. After testing positive for THC (one of the active chemicals in marijuana), Mr. Smith was taken off the transplant list and denied a life saving procedure.

We went to 420 rally in Toronto to cover the event and to have some fun.
It’s kinda funny how the federal government with their new omnibus crime bill can make a pot grower face more jail time than a child rapists. The views on child abuse through the actions of creating child porn ‘is okay’ in the eyes of some of the members of government such as former Advisory for the Prime Minister- Tom Flanagan.
In this video you get see what it would be like to attend this event in the future, capturing the thick cloud of marijuana smoke above the crowd as the police are on the side watching everyone.
We give some facts about Bill C10 , I question police asking them why they pick and choose the days to enforce marijuana prohibition and at the end we provide you with a very important link that can and will help you get off marijuana charges related to possession, trafficking and cultivation.
Marijuana is illegal because it cures mutiple diseases and illnesses and is a plant that has benefits to more than just a couple uses. It was around 1906 or so that John D. Rockefeller started all the medical foundations, took over the medical schools and all they taught the doctors was Alapathic medicine which is medicine from chemicals and it was around this time that cannabis started to become illegal.
Jodie Emery breaks down the latest info in regards to her husband Marc Emery’s arrest and also how her focus in activism has been on ending the failed policy of prohibition, which costs billions of dollars annually, contributes to overcrowded prisons and extreme policing, and puts public safety and civil liberties at risk.
