Cannabis hits the headlines once again

So Cannabis still ain't killed anyone , and somehow what with the substance being illegal almost everywhere worldwide, Scientists have found more reasons to believe cannabis helps humans. A study tested on two sets of rats has almost proven Cannabis can help heal broken bone fractures.

As seen in the first test subject CBD only rats containing Cannabidiol (CBD) it is know known that it will and can lead to improvements in fracture healing.  This means that CBD alone can provide the basis for new mineralization of bone tissue, not only will CBD make a bone harder it will also help prevent further breaks in the future as the bone has become much more tougher.

Study: Marijuana Effective In Treating Depression

Depression is bad alone then we have the illegal weed , illegality makes it worse on the users as they get stressed over cost and strength etc. Its time to unwind these laws break the chains, free the weed Source" theweedblog A study was recently released which found that marijuana can be an effective treatment for depression. Marijuana of course doesn’t cause the side effects that pharmaceuticals do. Per the Huffington Post : Neuroscientists from the University of Buffalo’s Research Institute on Addictions found that endocannabinoids — chemical compounds in the brain that activate the same receptors as THC, an active compound in marijuana — may be helpful in treating depression that results from chronic stress. In studies on rats, the researchers found that chronic stress reduced the production of endocannabinoids, which affect our cognition, emotion and behavior, and have been linked to reduced feelings of pain and anxiety, increases in appetite and overall feelings o

Ben Swann - Truth in Media - Cannabis - What Your Government Isn't Telling You

Cannabis does cure and the truth is out here. Educate yourself & awake the masses. CBD is a neuro protector. Cannabis Oil is the real medicine. Lets follow Colorado and Free TheWeed This is a must-watch video by Truth in Media Host, Ben Swann. Mr. Swann explores the cannabis issue and learns that the US government holds patents for cannabis all while keeping it illegal as a Schedule 1 substance. Swann exposes the hypocrisy, and he also explains why Dr. Sanjay Gupta is correct in regards to "The Entourage Effect." He explains that cannabis medicine is best when ALL of the ingredients are used, so companies like GW Pharmaceuticals, which seek to remove all cannabis constituents but THC and CBD oil from "Sativex," will ultimately fail, because their medicine isn't as good as Rick Simpson's. "Sativex" will never compare to Rick Simpson's hemp oil. Here is Ben Swann's Youtube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/BenSwannRea
