Less than 1 mg of THC and CBD each a day significantly improved performance on a cognition test…

“A Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial including patients between 60 and 80 years-old diagnosed with AD-associated dementia. For 26 weeks, participants orally received either placebo or THC-CBD extract (0.350 mg/THC and 0.245 mg/CBD), daily.

Results
At week 26, Mini-Mental State Exam total score was significantly higher in cannabis- when compared to placebo-treated patients…”

I am so grateful to the healthcare providers who worked to bring this framework to fruition so that maybe one day soon, everyone can become knowledgeable about the endocannabinoid system and become comfortable with using cannabis as medicine.

I’d like to acknowledge the Journal of the American Medical Association for having the guts to publish it. This is a full circle moment because it was the American Medical Association that pleaded with Congress not to outlaw cannabis via the Ma*****na Tax Act of 1937. Even then, they realized it was medicine and worthy of further research.

This consensus statement describes the development of a set of core competencies for educating medical students about medical cannabis, including its clinical utility, risks, legal landscape, and evidence base, using the Delphi method.

“…I would say the probability that the association between acetaminophen use by a mother and the development of autism of her child is a very low…”

Peter Attia, MD

This is the most thorough, thoughtful consideration of the data that I’ve seen on the autism and Tylenol controversy from the conventional medicine world. He does a great job in showing why observational, epidemiologic research can be misleading.

Observational research has also linked cannabis use in pregnancy to autism. However, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) in 2017 on Cannabis and Cannabinoids (10K studies, most since 1999) concluded that there is only substantial evidence for cannabis smoking and low birth weight. There is limited or no substantial evidence to support or refute other outcomes.

Again, smoking any plant material creates, toxic, combustion byproducts. Delivery method matters.

Smoking cannabis is less dangerous than consuming alcohol or smoking to***co whether you’re pregnant or not. However, anytime you burn or combust a plant, be it to***co or cannabis, you’re creating toxic combustion byproducts.

The act of smoking is most likely the reason for low birth weight babies as a result of prenatal cannabis exposure. (NASEM, 2017) A healthier way to bring cannabis into the lungs is by an electronic vaporizer made for dry herbs. That way, you’re not burning or combusting the plant and actually receiving more of the medicinal properties (cannabinoids, terpenes) then if you smoked it.

There are so many delivery methods for cannabis now: from inhalers (think asthma medication) to topicals. No one suffering from nausea and vomiting, has to limit themselves to smoking a joint.

On the list of activities that Americans say is dangerous for pregnant women to engage in, using ma*****na falls below drinking alcohol or smoking ci******es, according to a new poll. The YouGov survey comes amid heightened attention to pregnancy-related risks after the Trump administration made a c...

It appears a dose associated with a psychedelic experience was more effective and lasted through the completion of the study at 12 weeks. If that dose had been accompanied by psychotherapy support, they may have had even better results.

A mid-stage study of a pharmaceutical version of the psychedelic L*D reported the drug might help alleviate anxiety symptoms for up to three months.

If you want to understand why the war on drugs has not worked and will never work, I strongly recommend CHASING THE SCREAM by Johan Hari. This book not only talks about Portugal and other experiments throughout time, it gives you a full recount of the war on drugs in America. I promise you will learn things you never knew…

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in America. It is the number one cause of maternal mortality in Georgia. Sadly, we now have to add stalking to the long list of things causing heart disease in this country. It also unfortunate, that this kind of research can no longer be conducted in the current political climate. https://www.thehotline.org

We devote an entire chapter to heart disease in Why We Die, How To Live, the first book to explore America’s top causes of death, using evidence based holistic therapeutics and botanicals including cannabis: https://bit.ly/WhyWeDIEHowToLIVE

Study finds stalking can have both profound psychological and physiological effects
