There are many ironies in the history
of our great country. Hemp production is by far one of the
biggest ones.
Here is a plant in industrial hemp that
has little to no THC and cannot get people high, yet there is
enormous nutritional value and contains a molecule called CBD which
can help fight illness.
Yet most people who breed and grow
cannabis for it's psychoactive properties and medicinal use in this
country have bred out all the valuable nutrients and only focus on
it's psychoactive properties.
Recently I travelled to Canada where I
was able to visit the Hempola farm in a town called Barrie in
Northern Ontario. There I saw first hand what an industrial
hemp farm looks like and all the great products that they can make.
I noticed also that they produce flour, oil, hemp oil capsules,
and other edibles. I asked them about the nutritional value and
they mentioned a variety of them including Omega-3, Omega-6, protein,
.etc. I also asked if their oil and flour contains CBD. They
mentioned that it did contain it. 10mg per Kilogram of CBD in
their oil and flour products which is made from the seeds. They
had never thought of juicing fresh leaf and typically don't use the
leaf for anything.

I then read about Dr. William Courtney
from California who has for years been an advocate for the benefits
of juicing raw cannabis leaf. He discovered that the so called
medicinal cannabis did not have enough medicine to treat patients
which had severe illnesses. Also, his patients wanted treatment
and did not want to get high. By juicing the fresh leaf he was
able to get the nutrients and medicine out of the plant and noticed
that it had no THC and would not get anyone high. In addition,
in lab tests he noted that there was many times more of the nutrients
and medicine than in a dried leaf. Also, by burning the leaf
even less benefits and medicine was found. He concluded that
the cannabis leaf in it's natural raw state had the most benefits to
the human body than by drying it or burning it. He maintains
that consuming the plant in it's raw form is the way nature intended
it and that drying or burning the plant is unnatural and not as
beneficial.
It is clear to me that industrial hemp
fresh leaf would be the most beneficial to the human body if it was
juiced.
Here are some articles that talk more
about Dr. Courtney's findings.
