THC from Cannabis and its effects used in medicine, can be replicated with other compunds- New Research.

More NOT so recent research on cannabinoid effects of humans, have been carried out to find that there are compounds that can effect the human systems just like what THC, (tetrahydrocannabinol) does. 
Although this is, still in research phase, It will be a big blow for people who think Cannabis is the only source for THC and its medical use. Its not that THC is evident in all but the effects can be replicated with other compounds.

"The recent discovery of different plants with compounds that can modulate this system means we can no longer simply define plant cannabinoids as merely a product of cannabis."

IT CAN BE Replicated

While, the pro- weed legalizing front will vehemently (will) deny these new findings, and will point out a few cases of old cultures that uses cannabis for their medicines and rituals to make do as treatments to diseases that we now know has medicine derived from other sources, disregarding that there are more than a handful of such cultures that developed without the use of any cannabis. Will always push the legalizing of weed, first for medical and then recreational use. 

Going further, 

" Echinacea, Ruta graveolens (Citrus Family), and the Brassica genus (Mustard family, i.e. Broccoli) all contain compounds which may bind the CB2 receptor, some with an affinity or strength similar to THC. Note that unlike the CB1 receptor, the CB2 receptor does not cause psychotropic effects."

Guess, what, Eat your veggies.. Instead of Smoking Weeds.. If you really want to do something good for your health.. 

So if you ever come with an instance, where you are told that Cannabis is medicine, Point out towards the ever growing field of new medical findings and research.

Legalising the Cannabis - the good and the bad

I haven't made a post on my blog "quit smoking weed" for some time now, It's about time I make some more content here. I hope this blog has helped some of you out there to stop smoking weed even in a small way. I was thinking about the effects of legalizing something and particularly weed, because its on  news very often these days. Countries and States are now putting forward legislation to legalize cannabis for medical and in some cases recreation purposes.

I just wanted my 2 cents on the legalizing weed on here, just to be straight with my readers, so here it goes.

Why Inspiration helps to quit weed sooner than you think.

It is not a secret that inspiration does help to get rid of a habit. Its is not rocket science that real life scenarios move people in different ways than they didnt know they can think about and thats why I thought I should write a bit about some inspiration on this blog. 

It pays to expose yourself to some real life experiences of others, who have the same problem as you do, and thats why people try to gather with the same kind of people who go through the same things in their life. 

It helps to think outside your daily routine, and what others go through because of their decisions. There is a somewhat witty slogan, it goes as this  "My failures are the pillars of my success, Your failures are also my pillars of success as well. " Thats a long way of telling learn from others mistakes.

Can marijuana smoking lead to lung cancer.

This is probably a question you might want answers for if you are using marijuana. While some people firmly believes marijuana smoking can lead to lung cancer some firmly disagree.

It doesn't matter whether you have smoked weed or not, if weed causes such a problem you would like to know right?

There has been some studies (Not a lot) to see whether there is a link between weed and lung cancer. Somehow, nobody at present has provided with any significant result. However some concerns in this regard might be advised.

I came across this informative documentary done by Dr John Marsden (BBC).

It gave me some important facts about weed, and somewhat changed my perspective a wee lil bit.

Dr John, talks with so many researchers about the work that is going on to find new fact about the Cannabis. I'm sure it will give you many insights of what you knew already and grow your knowledge.

Self help hypnosis for relaxing and meditation to quit weed.

Sit down, take your shoes off and listen to this video track from giveupweed.com to help you get over that uneasiness or that craving to have a smoke session. This is the first time I'm sharing a video on this blog and also anything on meditation techniques. I hope it helps you to relax and meditate in order to suppress that craving you are bound face when you quit smoking weed.

If you can do this every time you get the craving to smoke weed, it will help you to get away from that desire deep within.

This is a basic method of relaxation used to supress negative thoughts in the mind and inner brain activity. It may be anger, a craving to have a sweet or smoking, or even a thought to go slap someone right across the face with a chair, twice.

If you get you use this meditation technique for 3-5 mins you can come over it. Guaranteed.

The first few times you might want to listen to the track, until you get the hang of it. After sometime you will get used to it and would be able to just walk to a corner touch a tree or some organic thing, even grass or the soil and do the meditation. When you excel at it, you can look at a wall and do it.

Your mind is where your addiction is. Especially a habitual addiction like smoking weed. If you attack your thought with this method you can easily work your way through it. Good luck..

Keep reading... more posts to come very soon.
