Phytochemical Benefits Of Cannabis Roots Pollen And Leaves
Scholarly Facts And Information
Ezekiel 47:12 "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
In the mainstream culture of Cannabis, a lot of people seem to have this "know-it-all" type of ego. The reality is, most of us know the same basic stuff. Cannabis contains THC, and CBD. You hear it over and over again. People think that hemp is useless, leaves suck, and seeds are to be thrown in the garbage. The reality is that there is no part of the Cannabis plant that is useless, nor should any of it be discarded. The whole thing is extremely useful and vital and we should embrace herbalism in the mainstream like the Germans! Acknowledge the science world!
By the end of the article, you'll start to understand why they don't want you to grow or have your own Cannabis, and would instead rather free-base a few components and shove them in your face, as if to say "be happy and stop using raw cannabis products", and "Buy from us and praise us for it, not God!". So remember, chemist are God haters in general. I'd like to start by talking about Cannabis roots. Lots of holistic remedies and medicines are the roots of various plant species. Dandelion root and Echinacea root are two examples of this. The roots of Marijuana are no different, and the mainstream seems to have no idea. Cannabis roots contain friedelin, epifriedelino, N-(p-hydrocy-B-phenethyl)-p-hydroxy-trans-cinnamamide, choline, and neurine. Cannabis also contains eugenol, which is an anesthetic and anti-septic alkaloid.[1][4] A sweet Native American girl that I knew would add Pot to just about everything, especially pollen(almost pure THC), roots, and rare parts of the plant. She said they have the most hidden medicinal power. I think it's sad that people are not utilizing them and instead are taking these other parts of the herb for granted.
Choline, found in Cannabis root, is vital to human beings for three physiological purposes: "integrity and signaling roles for cell membranes, cholinergic neurotransmission (acetylcholine synthesis), and a major source for methyl groups via its metabolite".[5] Sense the roots thrive in soil where microorganisms thrive, it seems very likely that it's of great importance to the human microbiome. A microbiome is basically an ecosystem of necessary and beneficial bacteria to living creatures such as us human beings. Today this notion is often referred to on the open market as "pro-biotics". We need to stop thinking of all bacteria as evil and harmful. I don't want to go too far into this because I don't want to upset some corporations. Idea for companies! MAKE USE OF CANNABIS ROOTS, AND PRODUCE PROBIOTIC SUPPLEMENTS FROM MORE RARELY USED PARTS OF THE PLANT! A great book called "Marijuana Medicine" quotes a lot of studies that could really help growing businesses in this new industry. Beneficial bacterial are a real thing, and Cannabis roots may help with this because of their growing in soil. This also illustrates the importance of organic soil!
While many people believe that hemp is useless as a psychoactive drug or medicine, that is not entirely accurate. Cannabis pollen ( hemp flowers / pollen sacks ) contain impressive amounts of THC and THCA.[1] It's Industrial grade that's not worthy of recreational admiration on its own, generally, but not completely.. Even the ashes were used in calcination processes by ancient alchemist to wind up with psychoactive versions of THC![1]. The pollen also contains: flavone, and phenolic alkaloids(also found in Echinacea p).[1] Aside from the well known CBD and THC that Cannabis produces, the leaves also contain Choline, trigonelline, cannabamines A-D, and more shockingly a constituent known as phenethylamine hordenine.[1] They contain many other beneficial alkaloids too. So if you're not going to smoke it, throw it in some butter, oil, or alcohol. I love the idea of blends using Marijuana parts. This illustrates how the new hemp derived cannabinoid market is not giving you REAL FULL SPECTRUM. REAL MARIJUANA is the one true full spectrum, and any edible or product which makes use of as many parts of the plant as possible. No one does it like the Most High, so don't waste your time praising nor empowering chemist free-base pimp cheaters/losers. Stick with natural.
Throughout history all parts of both the Hemp and Marijuana plants were used in medicinal elixirs.[1] In the book I cite, It was very frequently made into infusions with other psychoactive plants such as Datura, Poppies, and even Henbane.[1] Do NOT use Datura or Bella Donna as they are DEADLY It's not a good idea to copy other people! Do your research! Other non-psychoactive plants were often added to this concontions as well, like marshmallow and magnolia bark.[1] Now that you know there is far more to Marijuana than CBD and THC, hold on to all of your males, leaves, roots, and even seeds. I think we need to get in touch with our herbalists roots, pun intended. If you REALLY love Marijuana, do your own research via books, and peer reviewed journals, scholar.google.com and learn stuff about the plant! Stop focusing on a few Cannabinoids when the plant contains upwards of thousands of known medicinally active components.
