Systems Of Us

Did you know that the human body has an Endocannabinoid system?

It goes on the list with the other 11 systems in the body eg circulatory, muscular, nervous and immune systems to name a few.

It is a newly discovered system and appears to be more important than the immune system when it comes to protection and healing.

To be strong and effective, this system requires the cannabis herb.

For thousands of years, humans used cannabis very effectively for pain, health and healing. Drs prescribed it for almost every condition from small cuts to chronic pain and diseases. It was given to children for childhood ailments.

Cannabis is non addictive and nontoxic. You can’t overdose, it has no negative side effects and it is a curative ie it helps the body mend itself.

It was legal right up until the end of prohibition.

Prohibition created a LOT of employment and new departments which were highly funded by the government, so when alcohol became legal, they needed to find something new for these government departments to police.

Cannabis became the new ‘something’.

They created scare campaigns and advertising through the media to frighten us into believing that cannabis was the new gateway drug to even worse addictive drugs.

THEN with cannabis out of the picture, they had to create new prescription drugs to take its place, which included opioids and any number of toxic synthetic poisons that we use today.

The trouble is that those drugs have earned pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and governments billions and billions and billions of dollars, so the last thing they want is for cannabis to become legal again.

In a nutshell, there are CB1 receptors in the central nervous system which deal with pain and there are CB2 receptors in the immune cells that deal with inflammation. When there is noxious stimuli (a potentially damaging event in the body), the endocannabinoid system naturally reduces pain and inflammation and attempts to heal the body.

This system needs cannabis to do this effectively.

Which explains why you hear so many stories about cannabis stopping or reducing seizures, reducing or stopping pain in the chronically ill, reducing the size of tumours, reduces and/or removes the symptoms of arthritis, heart disease, anxiety, depression etc etc.

It’s not just masking the symptoms, but actually helping the body heal itself.

Cannabis comes in tinctures, balms and salves, capsules, oil and many other forms for various uses and treatments.

In the USA where in some states, cannabis is legal, prescription drug use has dropped considerably, so it’s proving to be very effective.

Anyway, that’s my medical information for the day and I still have four more hours of this Docu-series to watch, so you could hear more about this yet.

I swam a lot today. No art because there is no space left until the other 6 pieces dry. It was a very relaxing day which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Now it’s WAY AFTER midnight! I’d best get some sleep!

Nite all.
