The government is taking positive steps with
medicinal cannabis, however, and hopefully
one day, Australia will be a leading producer
of high quality medicinal cannabis.
After all, Tasmania produces 50% of the
world’s opium, so it’s not like it’s going to be
a huge ethical leap.
Interesting fact: Australia has the ideal
climate for growing different varieties of
cannabis.
A Quick Primer On Cannabis Oil
There are over 500 compounds found in
cannabis, and over 85 of these are known as
cannabinoids.
The most commonly known cannabinoids are
CBD and THC.
Cannabis also contains over 120 terpenes and
flavonoids which contribute to the therapeutic
effect of the plant.
Many people are aware of, and use, CBD oil,
which is not the most medicinal part of the
plant, but has effective properties for
increasing energy, elevating mood, and
providing peace to those who feel troubled.
It’s commonly prescribed to those
experiencing anxiety and depression, and is
regarded as the ‘vitamin C of cannabis’.
Whereas CBD is beneficial for its uplifting
properties, THC has benefits for rest, sleep
and pain relief.
Cannabinoids can be used separately or in
combination, depending on the specific
problem and, if the correct dose is given,
will not produce a ‘high’.
Did
You
Know
You
Have
An
Endocannabinoid System In Your Body?
Here’s an astonishing fact many people don’t
know: the human body has an
endocannabinoid system – a chemical
communication system, just like the hormone
system.
Our bodies have receptors for cannabinoids –
in the brain and in the immune system – just
as the uterus has receptors for oxytocin, which
is needed for labour to start.
Surprisingly,
even
though
the
endocannabinoid system was discovered 30
years ago, we don’t hear much about it.
You have to wonder why, right?
Doctor David Allen is a cardiac surgeon, who
changed careers to become a cannabinoid
research scientist.
He believes the discovery of the
endocannabinoid system, and what it can do,
will change medicine.
He says it is the “single most important
medical scientific discovery ever, and will
save more lives than the discovery and
application of sterile surgical technique”.
More people will be saved through the
manipulation of the cannabinoid system than
with surgery.
That’s a pretty big statement for a heart
surgeon to make.

What Doctor Allen says in the video is the tip
of a very big iceberg – one that has been
hidden from the public for far too long.
In a brilliant opinion piece in The Mercury (a
Tasmanian news publication), titled It’s Time
To Regulate Medicinal Cannabis And Scrap
Legal Penalties, comes this statement:
“One must consider the question of why so
many people turn to cannabis as an alternative
to “conventional medicine”.
