As I watch this blog on raw cannabis juice growing world wide, and with blog views almost reaching
10,000 views, I wanted to take a moment to ask all our viewers who have enjoyed reading about the benefits of raw cannabis juicing, would you please share this blog with others?
My goal for 2013 and this blog on raw cannabis juicing is to reach 20,000 viewers THIS YEAR!
Since I believe that word of mouth is the best way to spread the word on topics you find interesting.
I am currently making business blog cards to share at our dispensary and hope to get them out to other dispensaries too. But along with this form of advertising, I am also asking all of you to please share this blog with others.
This blog site, contains my own writing and perspective on the benefits of raw cannabis juicing, but it also contains as many videos, articles, and other opinions and site on RAW CANNABIS JUICING.
40dayrawcannabisjuicechallenge.blogspot.com
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, FRIENDS, FAMILY AND RAW CANNABIS JUICE LOVERS,
HELP US SPREAD THE WORD AND INFORMATION ON the benefits of raw cannabis!
~Peace

AN interesting way to eat high cbd leaves!
I recently met a wonderful women who also lives in chronic pain, and like me has developed was through the conspumtion of cannabis that was completely fascinating. While Yes, I and the professional believe that cannabis in raw form will give you a higher cdb's to help relieve some of your medical issues. So the theory is to not dry it, cook it, or decarboxilate the cannabis, changing its molecular structure. So yes, even just drying your cannabis can increase the THC and levels very little CBDs.
So when I recently met another cannabis patient who is into raw, and other natural ways to consume cannabis. She handed me a jar of dehydrated cannabis leaves which she flavored in hoisin sauce, for extra flavor. I was amazed that it not only tasted good ( same texture as dried seaweed) but once dehydrated, its crunchy, flavorful and A NEW WAY TO EAT cannabis LEAVES. SHE uses a HIGH CBD strain, so her shade leaves are already helpful even if dry!
so for you healthy folks, vegan and definitely use cannabis for its high cbd benefits, this may be something exciting to try.
HAPPY RAW JUICING AND EATING.!
peace and happy holidaze!

The art of EATING cannabis
The Art of Eating Cannabis
By Avery Runner
Cannabis has been used for food throughout countless generations. Bhang Ki Thandai, also called Shadai, is an example. To prepare, the female buds and cannabis leaves are mixed with almonds, spices, milk and sugar. This is used in many parts of India during the celebrations of Holi and Vaisakhi, dedicated to Lord Shiva.
My first impression of eating the plant was related to pot brownies and hippies, such as the old “Furry Freak Brothers Comix”. Nevertheless, this amazing plant provides good medicine and nourishment. Through the ages, cannabis has been cultivated and refined into many different edible products.
Books are available regarding the preparation of Cannabis edibles. Clarified butter and cooking oils are commonly used for extracting desired cannabinoids from plant matter. A great deal of information is available on the internet, which can be a great resource for the homegrown MMJ patient. If you are a medical user with access to MMJ trim or buds, you may want to try exploring some recipes from your kitchen. Check out the book Marijuana Cooking – Good Medicine Made Easy by Bliss Cameron & Veronica Greene, for several good extraction processes.
Kind buds and hash oils are very expensive to buy, and it requires a great deal of energy to manage a home cannabis garden. Cooking marijuana in a kitchen is not for everyone. Because of this, many patients find it appropriate to purchase Medically Infused Products (MIPs) from established businesses. Many Colorado MIP companies are focused on quality, and design potent products.
This article intends to shed some light on the subject of ‘medibles’. Patients who are using Medical Cannabis to better their lives should be aware of the many benefits that can be derived from this miraculous plant.
One issue of concern when eating marijuana is that it can be unpredictable. The types of foods being digested in your stomach at the time of eating the medicine will effect the onset period of the medicine. An empty stomach will result in strong and rapid absorption. How the product was prepared can tremendously vary the results. Some cooking techniques can produce severe drowsiness. In todays market, analysis testing is available, and many Colorado MIP manufacturers are sharing these results with consumers. This can give patients an idea of what cannabinoid ratios are inside. Spec tests however cannot guarantee the way a product will work on different people.
Among companies doing analysis testing is Cannabis Botanix, now offering “Kalamata Kind” – bud infused olive oil. Study spec tests by searching companies online at www.fullspectrumlabs.com, using the ‘dispensaries’ button, for a wide variety of strains and infused products available in Colorado.
Most MMJ users are familiar with the psychoactive component known as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC generates a euphoric state of consciousness when consumed in its potentiated form. THC-A, the precursor molecule, must be decarboxylated through heating to become psychoactive. Once enough THC has been absorbed into the bloodstream, the mind “softens its focus” away from internal processes such as physical pain, emotional turmoil and disease ailments. This can relax the body and allow some healing to occur.
The psychoactive effect of THC, in small amounts, may also help in re-uptake of serotonin, as indicated by article “Marijuana for depression & bipolar disorder”, viewed online at www.patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com.
“The anti-depressant and intoxicating effects of cannabis are due to its chemical similarity to natural substances in the brain known as “endo-cannabinoids,” which are released under conditions of high stress or pain, explained Dr. Gobbi. They interact with the brain through structures called cannabinoid CB1 receptors. This study demonstrates for the first time that these receptors have a direct effect on the cells producing serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that regulates the mood.”
One draw back from consuming activated THC is that the side effects can be intense or undesirable. Many users consume relatively small amounts of cannabinoids as a result. Getting “to high” they experience “the spins” or restless discomfort resulting from over use and possible cross effects with other prescription drugs or alcohol. For the medicine to work best, an adequate serum level of cannabinoids in the bloodstream is needed. Some patients may be suffering from a condition which has been referred to as a Cannabinoid Deficiency Disorder, requiring very large doses of the medicine in order to experience desired results, such as healing from disease. This may best be accomplished through consuming non-potentiated forms of the cannabis plant.
THC-A and non-psychoative cannabinoids like CBD, CBN & CBG provide healing benefits. Although the research about medical properties of raw cannabis is limited at this time, there is reason to believe eating fresh leaves and buds off the plant can reverse effects of many diseases. Kristen Peskuski suffered from endometriosis, intersistial cystisis, rheumatoid arthritis and a list of other ailments. She claims that drinking raw cannabis juice saved her life. Dr. William Courtney originally asked Peskuski to consume dried plant material, unheated and crushed into capsules, to provide higher doses of important cannabinoids like CBD & CBN. His idea was to reduce the amount of THC being consumed, and increase other beneficial compounds. An article in High Times / Medical Marijuana edition – winter 2011 reveals an in depth review, and reports as long as Peskuski continues a daily consumption of ganja juice, all of her health problems are maintained pain free and apparent cellular healing occurs. However, it was noted, when she has gone weeks without raw juice, disease symptoms begin to resurface. As a result of Dr. Courtney’s research, Humboldt Patient Resource Center in California recently began a free juicing program for qualified patients who are willing to conduct a trial study regarding the benefits of drinking freshly juiced cannabis leaf and buds.
Another interesting consideration when consuming marijuana has to do with a little understood chemical process involving terpenes, the essential oils that produce unique smells from strain to strain. Some of the terpenes found in cannabis include Myrcene (earthy-mango), Pinene (pine-eucalyptus), Beta-Caryophyllene (pepper), Terpenol (floral-lilac), Borneol (menthol-camphor), Linalool (lavender) and Pulgone (minty). The Medical Marijuana Handbook by Gieringer, Rosenthal and Carter explores this topic. Experienced aromatherapists understand the many medicinal properties of these essential oil bases, which occur naturally in plants all over the planet.
Terpenes, CBD and other cannabinoids affect the way THC is absorbed, for example causing drowsiness or alertness. Some postulate that, like enzymes and amino acids, terpenes break down when heated to high temperatures. The ratio of THC to CBD has been used in chemotype determination of cannabis genetics (see Marijuana Botany : an advanced study by Robert Clark). Although exploration of THC to CBD ratios have the forefront in research, some scientists are studying how the terpene oils affect THC and cannabinoid absorption into the human body when bonding with the CB1 and CB2 receptor sites. Different ‘highs’ result from different strains. This seems an interesting science which must be very complex. It is hard to gauge what effects terpenes may have when eating ganja food. It remains that processing the herb at different temperatures effects the stability of these essential oils.
Bucky Minor from Full Spectrum Labs in Colorado concluded this statement in these regards.
“Cannabinoids have many healing properties to them in both forms (acid and active). You just gain more benefits for most patients when material is activated. You have, preheats methods, temp differences, degrading of molecules, extract then heat, heat while extracting, terpenes, let alone the medium used. Having raw (hash) oil allows you to render it into any medium you want at any time”.
In conclusion, the topic of medibles is a vast pool of knowledge which deserves attention from patients. If you or someone you know can find healing from use of the cannabis plant, eating it is a great option.

Cancer, Children and Cannabis
Posted by Mark Sircus - Director on 02 April 2012 | Filed under Medicine
There has been a lot happening in the world and in my work as of late so I would like to give an update. First of all, for those of you who enjoy following me closely, my daily communications continue on Facebook.
I have not been publishing as many newsletters as usual and one reason is that I have been into my cancer writings. This week The Changing Landscape of Cancer goes into final production and it will serve as a primer for a suite of five books that cover the depth and breadth of my work in oncology.
I am presently working on Breast & Prostate Cancer, which will cover all sexual organ cancers as well as the soft underbelly of cancer in general—the emotional, mental, spiritual and sexual stresses and trauma people go through. For those anxious to read my work in this area, see my Soft Medicine book. It holds much of the material that will see the light of day in this new cancer book.
Then I will come out quickly with a second edition of my Winning the War on Cancer book, which will be more focused and cover everything that my Sodium Bicarbonate, Rich Man’s Poor Man’s Cancer Treatment book, my Medical Marijuana book and these other books do not cover. With five books covering the subject of cancer I will have a totally comprehensive medical approach to the treatment of cancer.
In terms of medical marijuana, the question is being asked, “What more evidence does the U.S. government need to understand that the current approach to fighting the Mexican drug cartels is failing? All the evidence suggests that the efforts to crush Mexico’s violent drug cartels have failed. Why won’t the White House listen?” They don’t listen because they are cruel and psychopathic beings who have sold their souls to the system and everything they receive from it.
It is clear beyond doubt that medical marijuana should be prescribed in large oral dosages (hemp oil or raw cannabis) to everyone with cancer (for those in search of complete cures) and that many of the symptoms and even the stress of this disease can be addressed by smoking, which, yes, means getting high.
Marijuana is the best medicine for 3-year-old Cash Hyde of Missoula, Montana. The boy’s parents defied doctor’s orders—and Montana law—to get their hands on the medicinal treatment their son needed after he was diagnosed with recurring brain tumors at 22 months old. “I’ve had law enforcement threatening to kick my door down, but I would have done anything to keep Cashy alive,” Mike Hyde, who said he has long been a proponent of the drug, told ABCNews.com.
Missoula Police Sgt. Travis Welsh said, “Obviously, this man’s intentions are for his child.” The Hydes and the doctors decided to wean the toddler off a cocktail of drugs that included methadone, ketamine and morphine. Their son went through 30 rounds of radiation without one bout of nausea or any pain medication other than medical marijuana, according to his father.
Dr. Allison Dering-Anderson, clinical assistant professor in the college of pharmacy at University of Nebraska does not condone breaking the law even if it’s to save a child’s life from cancer. “It’s not acceptable to break the law,” said Dering-Anderson. “I’m sorry for this child and for this family and for all they’ve gone through, but… our licenses depend upon upholding the law.”
Dering-Anderson said she has deep concerns about children taking medication (medical marijuana) that is not specified by a doctor and without clear oversight of their care. From my perspective doctors are forced to be more interested in their licenses and following the lockstep of a type of medicine that hurts more people than it helps. I am concerned for people who put blind trust in these card-carrying doctors who refuse to look beyond what is mandated by the AMA and the FDA. Oncologists are cornered and have no choice but to put the law ahead of the wellbeing of their patients. It is a sad state of affairs when doctors are forced to abuse their patients because of laws and governmental medical rules that dictate which treatments are legal and which are not. Today, to stand behind the law is to become alien to the truth about how to best care for patients and address their needs. We have cruel laws administered by cruel people and aggressive institutions that have no right to accept responsibility for the health and wellbeing of any human being.
Raw Michelle published about other cases where medical marijuana is the right choice for medical treatment.

At 16, Kristen Peskuski was suffering from joint inflammation and an array of autoimmune conditions which made her organs and other tissues swell, including interstitial cystitis and lupus. She was prescribed over 40 different anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and painkilling medications to combat the symptoms. Still struggling to bring the symptoms under control, Kristen developed steroid toxicity. She was told that the most she could hope for was reduced discomfort, and with luck, she might make it to her 30th birthday. Seeking alternative treatments, she began juicing raw cannabis leaves every day, and within two months, Kristen’s back pain had been eliminated, and she had stopped using any other painkillers.
At two years old, she was diagnosed with terminal brain tumours. Her mother was told that with treatment, Amber had a 10 percentchance of survival. After surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the tumours were still spreading. Her parents were advised to take their child home, make her comfortable, and prepare for the inevitable. A month later, her parents reported a startling change. The tumours had decreased in size and number. The family had been juicing cannabis leaves and feeding their baby a few ounces of the juice each day.

How to Make Cannabis Whole Plant Resin
Marijuana Phytotherapy: How to Make Cannabis Whole Plant Resin
CANNABIS CULTURE - Learn to extract cannabis resins that could potentially help fight off illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
By Herb the Herbalist, Cannabis Culture - Tuesday, June 12 2012
Perhaps you have heard of cannabis's reputation as a tumor-shrinking medicine? Apparently the US Government knew this back in 1974 and kept it secret.
Have you seen the US patents on cannabis? This is just one of thousands.
There are many videos on YouTube regarding cannabis's tumor-shrinking powers and rapid healing properties. Two of the best are What if Cannabis Cured Cancer and Run From The Cure.
But the latest wave of cancer-related cannabis videos involves the juicing of raw cannabis leaves and buds. This method allows a person to consume much greater amounts of the medicinal ingredients in a juice form than they could if they were just eating raw cannabis leaves or buds (which are hard to swallow and digest due to the scratchy texture).
We all have an Endo-Cannabinoid System (ECS) in our bodies. That system regulates our health and well-being.
When a human being reaches mid-life, the inflammatory arm of the immune system takes on characteristics of an autoimmune disorder for which
the Conditionally Essential Cannabinoid Acids (CECAs) provide unique prophylactic and therapeutic relief.
Cannabinoids effect on diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorders and ischemic conditions qualify them for recognition as Essential Cannabinoid Acids across the entire life span. Cannabis is a uniquely functional food and if used in its natural state daily, provides more than just nutritional benefits. Smoking does help reduce the symptoms of many conditions but in general it does not work on a curative level like oral consumption does.
One of the benefits of juicing raw cannabis is that, if you manage to avoid heating the cannabis, it isn't psychoactive. This proves cannabis is, at heart, a vegetable, and in it's best form a preventative medicine. Try to consume the juice 3-5 times per day (the metaphor is like a deer grazes). The cannabinoids do their job in the body in about 15 minutes, so supplementing your Endo Cannabinoid System (ECS) all day would be the most ideal treatment program for all sorts of illness and is good for people who want to get rid of their tumors as fast as possible.
If you happen to be a cannabis grower or know a cannabis grower who can provide you with raw plant material, the videos LEAF: The Health Benefits of Juicing Raw Cannabis and The Power of Raw Cannabis may be some use to you.
If you don't grow or know any growers and only have access to the dry cannabis buds, try this recipe for a buds-only treatment.
Suggested treatment for someone with cancer is 6 ounces or more. This recipe is for 3 ounces.
- Grind/crush 3 ounces of well-dried top-quality cannabis buds
- Put cannabis in 20 liters of cold water and stir for 15 minutes
- Pour through a strainer or the largest micron size of bubble bag - don't throw out the buds, stems and leaves yet!
- Let mixture settle 15-30 min. The crystal/trichomes/hash/kief will fall down and settle on the bottom
- Pour/Siphon the water into another pot, leaving the kief mixture behind. Once you pour out most of the water (to about 1/2 inch from the bottom) pour out kief mixture and set aside
- Boil down the water you poured out on mid temperature (7) on the stove burner
- Keep an eye on the water as it reduces and scrape and stir in the oils that form around the sides of the pot.
- Repeat the process with another 20 liters of cold water for a second wash.
- Keep boiling it down to a black, sticky substance - slowly reducing the temp as the water evaporates - don't burn it. (As the mixture thickens add it to the final reduction sauce pan)
- Take the second batch of water and boil it down too. (I use a separate sauce pan to do the final lower temp reduction in.)
- Put the left over cannabis in another pot with water and boil it too, several times. Add the water to the final reduction pan when it becomes thick like a milky tea.
- Now add the kief mixture you had set aside to the black, sticky pot-water reductions, slowly bringing the temperature down. As the water evaporates take it off the heat and put it back on, that helps to not to burn the resin. The end result is something that looks like very sticky black hash.
The normal dose for most people is 1/2 the size of a single grain of rice, 3-5 times per day. Slowly increase your dose when you become used to the medicine by 1/2 rice-size increments until you are taking about a gram a day. If you start to experience an uncomfortable "high" then dial back on the dose untill you have a comfortable platform to move to the next increase in doseage. The point is to be taking as much of this as your body is able to tolerate. You cannot die of overdose, but you might get paranoid and feel like you're going to die if you take too much. Start small and slowly build your way up to a larger dose.
