  1. Some good information here but it goes against the grain of what others say in particular to the Cannabinoids. Unfortunately, there are a few errors with this including the drops per ml etc.

  2. I knew Mara personally years ago, she sold her fellow patients out for AUMA. Every medical state that legalizes recreational will always throw medical marijuana patients under the bus, California is no exception, and Mara didn't care.

  3. Age 18 I just decided to quit pot. I made it 6 months. Finally I had a tooth that needed pulling and people know tooth pain is the WORST in the world. Out of the blue my sister recommended try weed for the pain. We went on a bowl ride and I couldnt believe how amazed I was that the pain was completely gone, when that same day I was literally biting into a pillow and crying and screaming at the top of my lungs. Weed is more than just getting high and now I see the truth

  4. I make my own cannabinoid blend that helps my pain, adhd, insomnia, and anxiety. Contains Hhc, d8, d9 thco, d8. Thco, cbd, cbg, and hhco. Honestly it works better than the heavy medication it takes me to sleep or be painless. It cost on average about $1 a day to medicate. I pretty much just eye ball it

  5. Great video lady, I could have been tempted to say you may have been over-thinking the problem as I have been able to reach a similar goal of pain relief and relaxation on my own with edibles and I have no formal chemical/drug education. However as the talk unfolded I could see that you were the type of person equipped to really get to the bottom of all the technical issues and understand all the functions of them. I sure respect that. So for me , I grow my own, produce canna-butter and make biscuits , I think my potency now is pretty predictable so I can tailor my dose rate to produce predictable and consistent results. I live in a country where all this is still illegal and in much of my social circle there would be a stigma as well; so be it, I don’t care at all.

  6. Nice! There needs to be more studies on the medicinal benefits of cannabis. But there are big financial and legal disincentives to do so. I blame big tobacco and their lobbyists for attacking the cannabis and vape industry for offering viable alternatives to cigarettes.

  7. I just vaped 2 bowls of raw CBD flower and I feel great watching this back. I watched this video during the day and I was feeling like rubbish. I literally had a cry because I felt overwhelmed.

    Now I’m watching it again at night before bed, I feel like I just won a billion dollars after dry herb vaping 2 small bowls (0.2-0.4g) of CBD flower (Strain: Lifter – it literally does lift you). This stuff is amazing, honestly.

  8. I also have chronic pain, I was really upset when the SC bill got shot down for medical cannabis. Can't wait to move back to GA or FL. 🙁 South Carolina sucks!
