New to cannabis? Have no fear!

I know many of you are new to cannabis. Or maybe you smoke a joint back in the day but now you are interested in using cannabis as a medicine. People want to get rid of their pharmacsticals that don't work, are addicting or the side affects seems like they could hurt you just by them alone.
So many people especially in medicinal cannabis states are turning to cannabis.
They like me have watched the Dr. Sanja Gutpa's "weeds, 1,2,and 3" and have made the choice to ask a doctor if they would recommend cannabis for their particular aliment or disease.
I am blessed that I work in a California dispensary for almost 7 years.
I have learned to grow my own medicine, but use it in a variety of ways to help me with my personal issues and chronic pain.
If you are blessed to live in California then you to can go to a cannabis dispensary. ( after you get your doctor's recommendation)  Unfortuately while many state have medicinal marijauana programs many state do not yet offer a store front or "dispensary" to go and get your medicine. Each state is different, you need to know what the laws are where you live. and please remember cannabis is still federally illegal in the eyes of our government. However like prohibiton, states rights in this case of cannabis allow citizen in their state to follow their states rules. Sounds a little crazy at 3:30 am but it is when I write the best.
If you scroll down to the bottom of my blog you will notice that much of the beginning has to do with the benefits of raw cannabis juicing. I will continue to leave it on here because I has great informations and tips on raw cannabis.
Basically I try and teach patient this, learn to grow your own medicine ( if its legal in your state) and learn to make the products you like and need.
If you don't know what products you may like or need and yes some of it you may not be able to just whip up in your kitchen. I am creating this blog site to provide information to new cannabis users. I want people who need help learning about how to use cannabis to have a friendly, fun blog to read. I will do how to videos on everything from how to use those new great vape pens to how to roll a joint. Because I work with patient at a dispensary, it really is a kid in the candy store experience, and it can be a little over whelming to remember it all. 
So I am changing over my raw cannabis juicing blog to make it the cannacritic. Along with trying out buds, and concentrates, hash and edibles, I also want to try cannabis equipment with videos so you can see if you like it before you buy it. I would love the Volcano cannabis vaporizer, but for $500+ I would want to be sure I would love it and use it.
Tip of the day: Unless You have mad cash and you don't care if you loose it, don't spend hundreds and hundred of dollars on glass that can and will break, or cannabis accerories that cost so much that you can't afford the medicine you need.
I hope you all check back to my blog in January and see all the great changes and improvements!!

#710 Orange cream shake recipe

There are all kinds of great recipes for infused cannabis, the latest and currently most popular is the trend of infusing your edibles with "concentrates, aka oil, wax, #710, shatter, crumble, hash"
Why I like to use oils in my cannabis recipes is because one you don't taste that "green" cannabis taste, and secondly using concentrates a .5 gram can make a personal treat an awesome experience.
You feel the "concentrate" kick in a lot faster, it lasts longer and it's just a totally different "high" in my opinion. Play with the recipe and use what you have. If you like a certain flavor, or milk product use it. I learned long ago that the lipids in the milk (or milk like products) help bind to the cannabis and make your experience a lot stronger.
I love orange cream shakes, so it seemed fitting to infuse it with something cannabis. And since I keep hearing that everyone wants "oil" infused edibles. "No trim, No green taste" Using oils or concentrates gives your shake a great taste, and the oil high is extra special.
I really thought using oil in edibles was for easier concentration and process in making it. But after eating and drinking edibles made with oils, and waxes, and shatters I love the high even more. To me it comes on faster and strong and even lasts longer than most edibles. I love #710 edibles.

Cannabis reviews coming in January!

This cannacritic has been all over IG spreading the word and reviewing cannabis products to share the info with others.
Starting in January this blog will have weekly cannabis reviews. How -to videos, video reviews and much more.
First up, is my review on the 12th annual Emerald cup at the Sonoma county fairgrounds.
Lot's of people have gone to cannabis cups, other's dream about it, I am going to give you my cannacritic review on how it went and what my opinion was.
With more and more patients enter the cannabis community, there is going to be more people wanting to know which products they should try, and what other people think about the products too.
So start watching for cannabis review on the latest and greatest cannabis products.
and how to video's for those new cannabis users.
Check back on this blog, on other articles you maybe surprised the information you can find here.
Also, write and let me know what products you want to learn about and have reviewed.
I am really wanting this blog to become a place were people can learn how to use the cannabis they are trying. It is sad, how often patients say to me "my doctor couldn't tell me how to use the cannabis they recommended" or they went to a head shop and were kicked out for using the "wrong words"
I know it will take some time, but between my knowledge and your questions I am hoping this blog becomes a full service blog for everyone's needs.
So while I work on getting the blog running by mid January please write me to what you want reviewed. And coming up next is my review on the 12th annual Emerald Cup, here on this blog.
For those who used this blog for all the raw juicing articles, they will stay right here. So please continue to read them, and ask anything you want to know about cannabis. If I don't know it I will try and get you the answer.
My hopes are to review every kind of product that is used and needed from industry products like buds, and concentrates to infused edibles and topicals too. I also want to do reviews on cannabis used products, like which are the best trimmers/ scissors to use. What products work the best.
Pipes, papers, bongs and basically everything is being made for this quickly growing market. And patients and recreational cannabis users want to know what other users think about the products and accessories too. I have been a California 215 patient for 12 years now. I have worked in the industry producing and growing patients medicine for 8+ years. I have worked as a bud tender in a local Sonoma county dispensary for 7 years. Where I have educated myself and others on how to make and grow and produce products homemade. I also have a small edible company providing medicine for patients at one dispensary in Ca. I feel blessed to have been able to learn so much. Have people teach me how to make products, teach myself then teach others too. Using cannabis and using what works is more important than anything else to me.
Check back at my blog at another time to see what I am up to, and let me know if there is something special you want reviewed!

MAKE THE RAW CANNABIS JUICE DREAM A REALITY

I have heard over and over how much people enjoy and appreciate this raw cannabis juice blog. But I I feel lost, because I cannot get the raw leaves and buds for patients to use. I can't get growers to donate or deliver the raw fresh leaves high in thc-a AND cdb's to patients. I am sorry that this blog will be changing it's content about raw juicing into info about cannabis products available to 215 patients here in California. Maybe one day when we have studied cannabis more in it's raw forms. And doctors and patients want to use THC-a and CBD-a (raw cannabis more) there will be a larger need to continue to blog about the benefits of raw cannabis juice.
I will leave all of the articles, posts and blogs from other up for people to read, but for now it will be changing to follow my new passion. Reviewing the latest and the greatest in cannabis products for patients in California.  I want to provide written reviews on events, products and more. I want to have canna-videos to educate the new users on how to roll a joint. How to use that vape pen you just bought. How to do just about everything. This will take time, but please keep checking.
Cannabis has been around for thousands of years and used for medicine for just as long. But I feel like because of our federal restrictions on cannabis as a medicine, many people don't know how to use the medicine they are now recommended to use.
More is coming I promise. If you want to start now, join me on Instagram @cannalovelea
where you can read canna-reviews on products available in dispensaries in northern California.
Thank you for your interest in raw cannabis juicing, and keep researching and please try and grow your own cannabis for juicing. I believe the proof is in the juice. You and to try it to believe.
Peace~ The cannacritic
