Explores How The Cannabis Plant Procreates

Explores How The Cannabis Plant Procreates

Explores How The Cannabis Plant Procreates

Cannabis and sex go together like peanut butter and jelly...flavored lube. Surely you’ve mixed the two before, but while you were bumping uglies, stoned and sensationally sensitive, did you ever stop to think about how cannabis plants procreate?
 (Going half on some seeds is what it’s about for them, not getting a glorious nut off at least according to the weed we’ve spoken to.) Whether or not you’ve pondered cannabis coitus, MERRY JANE has the lowdown on how it goes down. Watch the latest episode of our original series “Journey Into Weed” to see the differences between male and female plants, how a single male can impregnate a whole field of females, how you can beat the seed out of males (ouch), and what causes marijuana to become hermaphroditic. And unlike the sex vids you usually watch at work, it’s (mostly) SFW.

Five Cannabinoids (Besides THC and CBD)

Five Cannabinoids (Besides THC and CBD) You Might Not Know About

Cannabinoids

Most medical cannabis patients are familiar with THC and CBD the two most common chemical compounds you can find in a cannabis plant. THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is marijuana's main psychoactive element that gives you the feeling of euphoria. CBD, or cannabidiol, is the non-psychoactive chemical that is believed to be responsible for the majority of cannabis' miraculous medicinal effects: from reducing pain to easing nausea to stopping severe seizures. But there are a lot more to cannabis: we will tell you about five cannabinoids that are less famous but still extremely beneficial to our health.

CBC is a non-psychoactive cannabis compound, which means it won't get you high. This cannabinoid may be helpful in reducing the severances of pain and inflammation. CBC may also help slow down the growth of cancer cells.

It looks like CBC really loves sunlight and hot weather because it is easier to find this cannabinoid in cannabis strains that were grown in warmer climes. The average content of CBC in marijuana strains grown in colder regions is less than 1 percent.
Cannabinoids CBC


CBG is also a non-psychoactive chemical compound, plus, it is one of the cannabinoids that can be easily found in hemp. Most cannabis strains, however, contain less that 1 percent of cannabigerol.

The main medicinal benefit of CBG is its ability to inhibit the growth of cancerous and tumorous cells. CBG is also believed to be helpful in reducing pain and inflammation.

Cannabinoids CBG

It is pretty difficult to find even the smallest amounts of CBN in live cannabis plants. This chemical compound shows itself when the levels of THC begin to decrease; mostly in harvested cannabis when it is exposed to air and light.

CBN is considered to be mildly psychoactive and is usually used in combination with CBD. Together, these two compounds work best for combating insomnia, reducing muscle spasms and pain.
Cannabinoids CBN


The chemical structure of THCV, also known as THV, is quite similar to the one of THC. Just like THC, THCV is psychoactive but has a bit different effects: while it still makes you feel high, your head and thoughts remain clear.

As for the medicinal benefits of THCV, the chemical is believed to be able to:

    Reduce the severances of seizures;
    Suppress appetite;
    Normalize blood sugar levels.
Cannabinoids THCV


CBDV is a homolog of CBD that is most frequently found in wild cannabis strains from Nepal and India. Domesticated marijuana plants contain only trace amounts of the chemical.

Just like CBD, CBDV does not have any psychoactive effects and therefore cannot get you high. What it can do is reduce the quantity and severances of seizures in patients with epilepsy.
Cannabinoids CBDV


These five cannabinoids are not the only chemicals contained in cannabis plants. There are plenty of others, and their medicinal potential is yet to be explored.

Prominent marijuana activists Marc and Jodie Emery who own the Cannabis Culture brand were granted bail Friday after their arrest on Wednesday.
Marc Emery faces 15 charges, including conspiracy to commit an indictable offense, trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime, while Jodie Emery faces five similar counts.

Officers seized $250,000 in cash in several currencies, 65 kilograms of marijuana and 2.4 kilograms of cannabis extract and other drug paraphernalia after searching seven Cannabis Culture stores and several homes on Thursday, police said.
Given the amount of marijuana, the stores “can only be supplied by illegitimate sources often tied to organized crime,” "ya fucken nature" acting Insp. Steve Watts alleged.
“The public should know that this isn’t an altruistic venture, this is purely a profit-motivated venture,” Watts said. “Anyone with a prescription for marijuana can go through Health Canada, who have an abundant supply.” ya I'm sure And still a profit-motivated venture

Cannabis treatment for your best friend

CBD cannabis treatment 

Cannabis treatment


It might sound a bit new age, bearing in mind that people are still getting their heads around using CBD as a mainstream anxiety reliever for humans, but Love Hemp aren’t alone in believing that CBD can benefit animals.

Dr. Robert Silver, vet and author of the book ‘Medical Marijuana and Your Pet’, claims that the extract can help reduce pets’ anxiety around stressful occasions like Bonfire Night, as well as treating a variety of conditions like epilepsy.

‘In my experience, for those dogs with uncomplicated epilepsy, the hemp extract will often work better than pharmaceuticals,’ he says.

‘I also have several oncologists in a study group with the extract and they have found that CBD can help to stop the seizures and twitches that can come with brain tumors.’

The product was developed, Love Hemp say after they were inundated with requests from owners looking for cheaper, natural alternative to traditional veterinary treatments.

‘There are plenty of documented cases in the US where CBD has been more effective than the strong drugs that are typically prescribed,’ Dr. Silver goes on to say.

‘Pain relief is a huge area and for those pets with arthritis, hip dysplasia or sore joints, we are finding that the use of hemp relieves their pain and gets them mobile again.’

He also says that canine anxiety is one of the main areas where CBD could have an impact.

‘A CBD supplement can curb these emotions in your dog and protect the animal against unnecessary stress.’

The Love Hemp oil can be bought either in the form of liquid drops or as atomizer sprays which can be consumed straight or mixed with food and drink.

It’s recommended that four drops are used per 1kg of body weight, two to three times a day.

And as you might imagine, it’s providing pretty popular with the dog-owning community.

If you can access cannabis you can make your own cannabis coconut oil I use on my dogs for pains, fleas and I have one that has problem pooping this regulates them my bigger dog 60Lb I give one teaspoon and my little guys 8 to 12Lb I give quarter of a teaspoon

Why Whole Plant Cannabis Is Essential To All Of Us

Why Whole Plant Cannabis Is Essential To All Of Us

Why Whole Plant Cannabis Is Essential To All Of Us
Whole plant cannabis. We’ve all probably heard the term. Companies use it to promote their products, patient groups campaign for the right to use it, yet the majority of scientific research into medical cannabis ignores it, choosing to focus on single compounds like THC and CBD. Globally, medical cannabis use and regulation is riddled with contradictions, inconsistencies, and hypocrisy, but for many the near impossibility of bringing whole plant cannabis medication to market is the biggest travesty of all.

The FDA says there’s not enough proof that the cannabis plant has therapeutic use, but its continued schedule 1 status means it’s a bureaucratic nightmare to research.

Patients see first hand that whole plant extracts treat their symptoms better than isolated cannabinoids, yet no pharmaceutical company will invest millions researching a plant that can’t be patented.

At the heart lies a seemingly irrevocable tension between what anecdotal evidence from patient experience suggests to be effective and what ultimately will keep pharmaceutical company shareholders and government regulators happy.
Cannabis a complex plant So why does it matter anyway if the whole plant is researched or not? Surely if we know that certain cannabinoids have therapeutic effects, we should just concentrate on those, right?

Well, that would be the easy answer if the cannabis plant fitted in with the current single molecule model of scientific research. But cannabis is a complex beast. With approximately 420 molecules, including 113 cannabinoids, over 200 terpenes, plus flavonoids, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, fatty acids, and sugars, it’s easy to see that the cannabis plant has a whole lot of botanical stuff going on.

So far, it’s the two headline grabbing cannabinoids Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) that have been most widely researched, with many scientists believing they are key players in the piece.
