Repost from @wellness_queen using @RepostRegramApp - Whatever your stance on marijuana is... I'm just here to spit some facts at ya if you aren't well versed on the topic. 🍁 H E A L T H * F A C T S * - The active chemical group in marijuana are Cannabinoids, further broken down into THC (responsible for the psychoactive high) and CBD (cannabidioils). Our bodies have Cannabinoid receptors found on cell membranes throughout our entire body. Your body is designed/wired to RESPOND to marijuana. This system in our body is called the Endocannabinoid System. * - Marijuana has the potential power for treating.. nope... CURING cancer, it's not only beneficial for helping with the unpleasantness of chemotherapy, and here's why: It triggers cellular suicide (apoptosis) of cancer cells, leaving healthy cells unharmed; it cuts off a tumor's blood supply (anti-angiogenic). But since our country thrives and profits on us being sick and blindly dependent on pharmaceuticals... Marijuana will remain a schedule I "drug" for a long time. * - Though research is limited in the U.S., there is a growing list of illnesses marijuana is effective for treating: PTSD, Parkinson's disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, Cancer (many types), pain, insomnia, autism, heart disease, nausea & lack of appetite, seizure disorders, degenerative neurological disorders (eg. Alzheimer's), mental and mood disorders * O T H E R * F A C T S * - Not all Mary j strains get you high. Some strains have very low amounts of THC but high amounts of CBD which is useful for those who want all the medical benefits of marijuana, without getting L i f t e d. * - Juicing... yes, juicing raw Mary j along with your fruits and veggies gives you all the health benefits of it, without getting you high. * - Healthier options to smoking marijuana are vaporizing, consuming edibles, juicing, or in tea form 🍁 If you're not for it yet believe in prescription or over the counter drugs... 😑 Source: Dr. Mercola #organic #marijuana #weed #ganja #natural #nature #knowledge #conscious #consciousness #aware #awareness #highvibes #herbal #herbs #vegan #420 #l4l #yoga #fitfam #medicine #cancer #fuckcancer #instafit #vegetarian #healthy #tea #r
