cannabis medicine

Cannabis is powerful preventative medicine. Both CBD and medical marijuana used responsibly on a regular basis and before you are ill, can greatly contribute to a quality life experience along with a balanced diet, rest, exercise and a lower stress profile. Learning how cannabis prevents many disease processes is about the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our bodies. Read more »

Cannabis Wisdom and the Resilient Human – Part IV

Breakthrough

How long are we going to blindly accept the guiding principles and beliefs inherent to the North American Matrix when they do nothing but divide us internally and with others? Musician, Taj Majal, once suggested that we take, "a giant step outside our mind." I agree. I believe we must each look within as the primary units of a collective society to internally reset and bring back a new quality of being human to ourselves and the world. Read more »

medicinal cannabis

Not many people are aware of the ongoing medical research for therapeutic cannabis use. Dr. Ethan Russo is known worldwide for discovering the fact that our endocannabinoid system (ECS) can become deficient and how cannabis in many instances can boost the ECS back to full function. In this blog I include a link to an interview where he discusses what is currently known regarding cannabis use for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Read more »

blotto with cannabis

A cultural meme has evolved regarding cannabis use asserting that all cannabis use is self-medication whether someone realizes it or not. It's a bold-faced statement deserving of a closer look. Is it true? Motivated by commercialization? Or . . .? What do you think? Read more »

Medical Cannabis Super Bowl

Who would have thought that the Super Bowl would air a commercial about the importance of families having access to 'Medical Marijuana?' You are correct, practically no one. Yet this 30-second commercial is a harbinger of things to come. Even if cannabis used for health stays pretty much off the radar, we still win by sharing this well-done clip. Read more »

Cannabis for Seniors: Don’t be afraid of a little psychoactivity

Seniors (and others) are missing out by ignoring the equally important and proven benefits of THC. Other than some amazing physical benefits offered by this cannabis compound is also it's proven anti-anxiety benefit - how small amounts can help someone calm down and look at issues in their life differently from their typical, default thinking patterns.

Cannabis Kills Cancer Cells

Using cannabis to reduce the negative symptoms of chemo and radiation has become a common practice as many doctors suggest it to their cancer patients.

No Contest: Cannabis vs. Alcohol

Written by Susan Boskey on October 19, 2018 · 1 Comment
Alcohol is a carcinogenic

Science tells us that alcohol is a known carcinogen, no matter what level of consumption, and is documented to be of higher risk to human health than cannabis. Yet alcohol is widely accepted without question. Why? This may be a case where facts and risk factors don't matter to most people when the alternative is plagued with social stigma. Perhaps, in reality, facts don't matter until a majority of people agree with them. Read more »

Cannabis Use Disorder: The Dark Side

Written by Susan Boskey on September 4, 2018 · 9 Comments
Cannabis product

There are two sides to every story, including for cannabis. Cannabis Use Disorder speaks not to the substance but to someone's propensity to over-consume. This is also the case for food, exercise, sex, work alcohol, accumulating things, Internet use, pharmaceutical drugs, cannabis, gambling, etc. We have only ourselves to examine when we misuse a substance or process because it likely masks one of our unidentified and unaddressed personal issues.

The Anxiety Epidemic, Antidepressants, and CBD Part III

Woke

This is the final of the Anxiety Epidemic series. The way I see it is that the antidote to anxiety is having a genuine sense of being 'connected' first to myself and to something greater than myself, at the same time. What this means shows up differently for each of us but what is the same is that such connection has nothing to do with the world of commerce, politics or stuff. Read more »
