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
