WHY MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL HEMP?
Hemp oil (cannabidiol oil)
is not toxic, whereas most pharmaceutical medicines carry many side effects due
to toxicity (7). It is not psycho- active, making it possible to give its multiple
health benefits to a wider range of ages (8). It helps improve the environment
and has empirical and scientific background as an effective medicine. When compared to
pharmaceutical medicines, pharmaceutical's toxicity finds its way into our
aquifers mantles through improper disposal and animal secretion after consuming
medicines creating collateral damage to the water we consume. Some
pharmaceutical medicines are not suited for every age, which may result in an
aggravating health problem since there is no prompt solution whereas industrial hemp can be ingested and/or applied to a wide range of people of different ages. There is no evidence
that hemp oil, if taken properly, will have collateral damage to the person
ingesting it. After thorough research, we found that
industrial hemp oil is not only an effective sustainable alternative medicine, but
apparently the best one compared to its equivalent natural medicine.
BENEFITS AND PROPERTIES OF INDUSTRIAL HEMP
When growing hemp it benefits the environment by not requiring pesticides , clearing fields from weeds without any herbicides, and being an excellent source for organic farming (9). It [hemp plant] can also be used to cover crops, bringing benefits like promoting pest-suppression, soil and water quality, nutrient cycling efficiency, and cash crop productivity (10). It has been used as green manure crop in the tropics because it produces large amounts of biomass; it has the potential to build organic matter levels and sequester carbon; as a legume it can fix large amounts of nitrogen (11).
Hemp has high levels of vitamins A, C and E and beta carotene, and it is rich in protein, carbohydrates, minerals and fiber. "THC and cannabidiol may increase blood flow in the brain, bringing needed oxygen as well as nutrients to endangered neurons. Because they inhibit glutamate, they may also prevent toxic effects that occur after brain trauma, when neurons can get overstimulated by the neurotransmitter. Meaning that immune cells receive endless messages to get cracking, none to calm down. Continuous attacking can inflame otherwise healthy tissue. Two-way communication makes possible a feedback loop, encouraging a modulation. Making these plant the basis of health" accoding to Dr. William L. Courtney, MD. With this in mind, cannabis is currently used to treat the following: relieve constipation, pain killer, sleeplessness, glaucoma, nausea, asthma, depression, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, gout, inflammations, jaundice, cough, substance abuse, and nervous exhaustion. It has been suggested that hemp also eases menstrual pain, migraines and rheumatism (12,13,14). These attributes make it suitable to possibly substitute many pharmaceutical medicines.

MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL HEMP AND MARIJUANA
A constant problem of the
usage of hemp oil as an alternative it is the confusion between marijuana and
hemp. Although marijuana and industrial hemp come from the same family of plants, they have different
properties. It is imperative to understand the difference between medical
marijuana and industrial hemp in order to end skepticisms and take advantage of
its natural medical properties. Industrial Hemp oil (Cannabis Sativa L oil) and
medical marijuana (Cannabis Indica) differ fundamentally in their
chemical composition, physiological aesthetic, and medical application (15).
"A cancer patient hoping to relieve the pain from chemotherapy would benefit greatly from the effects of an Indica plant bud, whereas an individual dealing with depression would better benefit from a Sativa plant bud." (15)
The medicinal qualities of cannabidiol have driven people to fight for its legalization. Because of its [hemp and marijuana] legal status, research towards its differences and effectiveness is poor, however nowadays the necessity of effective natural medicine and its empirical effectiveness has drawn researchers attention to its properties. Most research is now being done, throughout the world but very little is being done in the United States. One country in particular is Israel, where they have reasearched for over fifty years and continue doing it. Israel has formally allowed for the licensed production and distribution of cannabis for therapeutic purposes since 2011. Israel's Investigators at Tel Aviv University Department of Neurology and Researchers at the Hassadah Medical Center in Jerusalem have studied cannabis' effectiveness towards fighting cancer (even pediatric cancer), and relieving Parkinson disease.(NORML)

OTHER FORMS OF CANNABIS USE
|
There is not specific research done on the types of use or consumption of cannabidiols, however these are the uses currently found: smoking, ingesting in oil form, capsules, in raw form, or applied topically. The difference of its consumption sometimes depends on the ailments to be treated. In Israel hemp is being used to treat pain, loss of appetite, Parkinson disease, cancer, ADD, dementia and epilepsy by smoking cannabis or inhalation. Patients with epilepsy, diabetes, Alzheimer, inflammation and nausea are consuming hemp oil throughout the centarin places in the world. People with rheumatoid arthritis apply it topically. People with multiple internal illments like anemia, chronic infections, nausea and cancer consume it raw. And oral consumption through capsules (dronabidoil) is used for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

STORIES OF SUCCESS FROM MEDICINAL HEMP
"Charlotte Figi" has "Dravet Syndrome", a rare and severe form of epilepsy that causes severe seizures that can and does cause death in far too many cases. Charlotte straight lined several times & CPR brought her back. Charlotte had her 1st seizure when she was 3 months old. Over the next few months, Charlotte, affectionately called Charlie, had frequent seizures lasting 2 to 4 hours, and she was hospitalized repeatedly. She was to take some of the most heavy duty prescription medications some of which are mostly made for adults only and in one case, made only for pet dogs. One of them almost KILLED her. Then came "WEED"! (Nickname...but it's NOT a weed.) See and hear what happened next, in the following video.

Dennis Hill, a biochemist from the cancer industry, kills his own advanced stage prostate cancer using marijuana. The concentrated cannabis oil, aka "rick simpson oil," or marijuana extract, is the essential oils from the marijuana plant which is extracted and condensed to a tiny dose the size of a half of grain of rice. |
In July 2011, Corrie Yelland was diagnosed with Anal Canal Cancer and was given 2 to 4 months to live. Her sister told her to watch the movie "Run From the Cure: A Rick Simpson Story". She decided to treat her cancer with Rick Simpson's cannabis oil instead of chemo and radiation therapy prescribed by her doctor. In September 2012, her doctor declared her cancer free. She had a chance to tell her story during an interview with a local radio station in Nanaimo, BC back in January 2013. This is her story. See more at cureyourowncancer.org. |

“If cannabis were discovered in an Amazon rainforests today, people would be clambering to make as much use as they could out of the potential benefits of the plant. Unfortunately, it carries with it a long and not so long history of being a persecuted plant”
Donald L. Abrams, MD, Chief of Hematology and Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital and Professor of Medicine at the University California
