I have, as a nurse and care giver, looked upon Cannibis Sativa as a "bad" plant. All I knew was what I heard from the media and from People on the streets who smoked a little marijuana. I never heard anything good about the plant so I viewed it with the same prejudice I viewed any other street drug. Addictive and destructive.
Fast forward to several years ago when I was working part time in a small Holistic Clinic. One slow afternoon a pharmaceutical rep came by the office and I was able to sit in on the conversation that occurred between the Rep and the DR. Boy did I get a quick education! I was surprised to hear that there were in fact hard evidence of solid medicinal uses for Cannibis, most evident was the use of Cannibis to treat intractable seizures.
That evening I went home and searched the internet for more information. I never rely on one source for my knowledge. Needless to say, my opinion was changed completely.
I have been researching this plant every since and believe there is much merit in it's legalization. I have just watched Episode 1 of Season 2 of The Sacred Plant Series. If you wish to know more about the healing powers of this much maligned plant, I suggest that you watch this series.
This series is very well documented. I hope you enjoy the series. If it doesn't answer all your questions, it at least will encourage you to do some more investigation on your own!
My son's father-in-law was able to use the Cannibis oil to ease his pain and nausea at the end of his life. While it didn't keep him alive, there is a lot to be said for staving off pain and acute nausea! Just ask anyone who has chronic pain.
For me, this series was well worth the time it took to watch it!
There are many, many other resources out there for information. Go and have fun learning about this incredible plant. If it even does half of what people say, it is well worth taking a look at, for yourself and/or for a loved one who might be suffering.
Until next time, be well,
Healthnut
