Go Raw with Cannabis Green Juice

Nutritional Benefits of Raw Cannabis

            Discover the nutritional power and overall beneficial health effects of raw cannabis.  Raw cannabis is not psychoactive unless heated and it contains powerful disease-fighting compounds known as cannabinoids.  Of these compounds the most frequently studied are, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD).  

            When used just as you would any other vegetable (in a smoothie, salad, juiced), cannabis appears to provide some pretty awesome health benefits.   

You may have heard of Kristen Peskuski-Courtney?  A woman who struggled with multiple chronic illnesses which left her all but debilitated.  After years of pharmaceutical intervention to no avail, she was finally cured through the power of raw cannabis juicing.  The man behind this method of ingestion is Dr. William Courtney, a medical doctor and huge promoter of the “raw greens” cannabis movement.

A direct quote from Dr. Courtney’s website www.rawhemp.tk

“Whether Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis, male, female, hermaphrodite, native, feral, bred for fiber, seeds or medicinal resin, cannabis is the best source for [beneficial cannabinoids]...Over 50 patients have used only [cannabinoids] to put their cancer in remission; and over 150 have found symptomatic relief.”

What does that tell you?

             What it says to me is that there is some powerful research being done and treatment methods being delivered out there to very sick patients and they are all based on raw cannabis.

Dr. Courtney has determined that:

·         Smoking cannabis doesn’t treat the disease, only the symptoms

·         Therapeutic levels of cannabinoids can only be achieved through ingestion (not smoking)

·         When cannabis is heated or burned, the chemical structure of the plant compounds are changed- specifically the acidity of THC which alters its ability to be therapeutic.

·         Raw cannabis activates the brain’s cannabinoid system which triggers an antioxidant release

·         These antioxidants act as a “cleaner” and remove damaged cells from the body

·         Raw cannabis improves the efficiency of the cells in our body

·         Creating oils, butters or eating the raw plant is the only way to get the necessary beneficial compounds

Tips and recommendations for incorporating more “Green” into your daily diet

Ø  Raw cannabis can be used every day, multiple times a day by anyone of any age. 

Ø  Raw cannabis is NOT psychoactive unless it is heated meaning there no worries of mental or physical impairment after consuming

Ø  Raw cannabis can be added to smoothies, juices, salads

Ø  Like any other herb or seasoning, ground up raw buds can be sprinkled on top of soups, stews, oatmeal, yogurt or pudding

Ø  Juicing specifically takes a lot of material, Dr. Courtney suggests 20-30 big shade leaves or 2-3 raw buds (2-3 inches in length) per day for therapeutic benefits

Ø  Having your own garden at home is helpful as access to this quantity of raw product may be difficult or illegal in your state.
