How Medical Cannabis can unlock a higher quality of life for seniors A word from Ron Lipsky, Manager of Business Development and International Relations at MGC Pharmaceuticals While we spend a lot of time discussing the advantages of Medical Cannabis to Australia as a whole, there are specific age groups and demographics that stand to benefit the most from unrestricted access?
Consuming cannabis is often discussed in three basic categories: inhalation, oral and topical. But those aren’t the only methods. You may find other options are better choices for your personal needs. One less discussed consumption form is cannabis suppositories. Cannabis suppositories could be your ticket to relief. A major benefit of cannabis suppositories is their high absorption rate, either rectally or vaginally.
Speaker: Jonathan Bench, International Cannabis and Securities Business Attorney at Harris Bricken
The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.
Peninsula Alternative Health looked at research done by master naturalist Mary Dyer as outlined in Garden Know How ; David Hoffman, author of Medical Herbalism: The Science and Practice of Herbal Medicine ; and Michael Murray and Joseph Pizzorno, authors of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Third Edition. With the help of these studies, we concluded that as medical cannabis continues to prove its effectiveness for relieving chronic pain, additional herbs may enhance its efficacy.
If you’re a science geek who knows anything about cannabis and plants, you know there were no plants 650 million years ago. But cannabinoids are a different story. As you know from biology, every organism on the planet shares DNA. As you go back in the evolutionary tree, you see connections and how things like the eye and spine developed. Scientists have traced the origin of the human spine, hormone production, nervous system, and immune system to about 650 million years ago with the sea s

This week Americans for Safe Access released “ Medical Marijuana Access in the United States: A Patient-Focused Analysis of the Patchwork of State Laws.” The report examines the status of states that have passed some form of medical marijuana laws and grades them on a 500 point scale based on how well their current law and regulations accommodate patient needs.
The shredding of the Cole memo last month leaves the cannabis industry in an uncertain regulatory environment. Industry-wide anxiety of this sort can sometimes breed business disputes that wind up in litigation. Besides being expensive, defending a lawsuit from a business partner, investor, supplier, or employee can be a major distraction from your business goals.
Australia Looks Primed For The Top Spot In The Global Cannabis Market A word from Ron Lipsky, Manager of Business Development and International Relations at MGC Pharmaceuticals The last twelve months have seen a lot of exciting changes and advancements for MGC Pharmaceuticals, particularly our research collaboration with RMIT, the unveiling of CannEpil™ , and the introduction of our new dermatological product?
Cannabis and cancer, quite a popular topic, however, many people have to face the reality of either; dealing with cancer themselves or having an immediate family member or friend having to fight the deadly disease. Unfortunately, many of those victims are either unaware or simply have not been given the option of alternative treatments to the more orthodox chemotherapy.
Upon entering Peninsula Alternative Health, we’ll advise you on the type of medical cannabis strain that’s most appropriate for your qualifying medical condition , the best method of administration , and the suggested frequency of use.

The benefits of CBD oil have been widely documented for its ability to reduce pain, inflammation and even seizures in children but what happens when the bottle you buy does not contain the amount of CBD oil advertised on the label? Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine alongside colleagues from the Veterans Affairs San Diego Health Care System, nonprofit research organization RTI International, marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access, and Johns Ho
Cancer is a curable disease provided it is diagnosed early. However a better option would be to pro actively manage and prevent the birth and multiplication of cancer cells. The following 12 cancer fighting foods could be very useful in preventing the dreaded disease taking roots in the body.

Taxes are too damn high. They are also complicated and if miscalculated could lead to a lot of trouble down the line. California’s legal cannabis market has been up and running for almost 2 months, but retailers across the state are still scrambling to figure out exactly how their taxes need to be calculated and paid. An over-complicated tax system means even the most diligent retailers may be miscalculating their taxes ?

For decades, schools have had trouble with kids smoking in the bathroom. Despite health warnings about the dangers of tobacco smoking, many teens have taken up the habit nonetheless. With the advent of smoke detectors, faculty at high schools have been able to muster up some control. Yet, vaping devices have changed all of this. In Chicago, Illinois, students at some suburban high schools are taking up vaping tobacco in larger numbers than is comfortable.
Kristin Wohlschlagel Sad outcome to what I considered a valid lawsuit. Keeping cannabis in Schedule 1 includes a statement that it has no medicinal value. This is clearly not true. Whether or not people agree about “how” medicinal it is, I believe many have realized medicinal value. Thank you, especially, to Alexis Bortell, for carrying the torch so high.
The war against legalization of marijuana isn’t quite over yet. U.S Attorney General Jeff Sessions has issued a federal directive which would allow federal prosecutors to still arrest growers and sellers even though it has been legal in the state since the beginning of 2018. California has answered with the revival of a proposal, Assembly Bill 1578 that would make it a sanctuary state free from any federal intervention.
Most workplace drug screens and tests target ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and do not detect the presence of cannabidiol (CBD) or other legal natural hemp based constituents. However, studies have shown that eating hemp foods and oils can, in rare cases, cause confirmed positive results when screening urine and blood specimens. Accordingly, if you are subject to any form of drug testing, we recommend (as does the United States Military) that you do not ingest our products and consult with your h

A large proportion of women have several symptoms before and during their period , no matter their age, physical condition or medical record. Furthermore, the days before the start of menstruation are sometimes the hardest for most of them, with a group of symptoms commonly called PMS or premenstrual syndrome. For centuries, medical marijuana has been used across the world for its therapeutic potential, and menstrual cramps are not an exception.
10/8/2017 0 COMMENTS By Janna Champagne, BSN, RN I was first introduced to the topic of Epigenetics in 2008 at a business conference in Florida, and as a medical professional I was immediately intrigued.
