The California counties of Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity, which comprise the Emerald Triangle, emerged as the epicenter of domestic cannabis cultivation in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. After the Golden State legalized medical marijuana in 1996, the nascent cannabis industry spread throughout much of Northern California’s remote regions and into the Central Valley.

The medical cannabis community is mourning the death of medical cannabis pioneer Dennis Peron, who died on Saturday at the age of seventy-two. Dennis was the founder of the legendary San Francisco Cannabis Buyers Club in San Francisco and a crusader for the right to safe access to medical cannabis in California. Called the “Father of Medical Marijuana,” he inspired the grassroots movement that adopted Proposition 215 legalizing medical cannabis in California in 1996.

I’m going to unravel the cannabis/cancer conundrum. There are a lot of interested people hearing about medical marijuana as a treatment for cancer and its symptoms. When somebody asks me about cancer and cannabis, I start by talking about the palliative path. The palliative path is just helping with cancer symptoms. This might be the cancer itself causing pain, insomnia, anxiety, mood issues, and symptoms from cancer treatment.

You may think you’re doing a favor by introducing your ailing friend or family member to medical cannabis. However, many factors are considered when prescribing a medical cannabis strain for your specific condition. The exact strain may not work the same for your friend or family member. It’s also illegal to share medical cannabis in any form in some states.
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.

As patients start to understand how CBD can be used to alleviate their symptoms, they are often faced with a choice between using products made from CBD Isolate or Full Spectrum CBD.

First off, I want to say I’m not a doctor. The beauty of cannabis is that you don’t need a doctor. Cannabis is a nontoxic medicine. Moderate use of cannabis has not been shown to have any negative health risks. All of the health risks around cannabis are with heavy use or chronic use. Safe, moderate use of cannabis has many benefits, including for women’s health.

Thankful for the progress. So far, there has been no reports of canna treated kids going off the deep end, unlike the ritalin kids, and those on the other gov’t sanctioned antidepressants. Cannabis as medicine is a very welcome return to sanity, after 80 years of true reefer madness.

Marijuana is a newly-legal recreational drug in California. Like alcohol, it can be consumed and purchased by anyone over the age of 21. Although marijuana is also associated with treating headaches and sleeping disorders, because of certain properties that it has, it can also help treat diseases. One of those properties is CBD which is a compound that doesn’t get you high, but does help numb pain, relieve nausea, reduce anxiety and much more.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions today rescinded the Cole Memorandum , which had directed the federal justice department to de-prioritize the prosecution of federal marijuana laws in states where the use of marijuana has been legalized under state law if state enforcement procedures were in line with certain specified law enforcement priorities.

It’s important to think about dosing and drug interaction. A lot of people start with, say, 20 milligrams of CBD. You’ll feel relaxed. But if we’re looking at scientific evidence for the reduction of anxiety using CBD, we are seeing 600 milligrams as a dose that reduces anxiety. I have many clients who are hypersensitive to medication or have severe anxiety – I would never start them off on 600 milligrams.

I feel anxious when I have to give a lecture. It’s really important as a practitioner that I have compassion for my patients, so I’ve used CBD to help my own anxiety. I’ve been able to walk a lot of people through using CBD and other cannabinoids to regulate, tone, and help their anxiety. So, first of all, what is anxiety and why does it happen?
