No. Although a handful of states have legislation authorizing doctors to prescribe medical marijuana, doctors in these states may not legally do so without violating federal law. Federal policy dictates that physician who prescribes marijuana or other Schedule I drugs to a patient may be stripped of his or her federal license to prescribe drugs and prosecuted. In addition, physicians will not prescribe medical marijuana because there are no legal state supply sources from which a patient could attain the drug. To follow legal restraints, doctors are forced to write ‘recommendations’ for their patients, stating they suggest the use of …

Unfortunately, there are no studies supporting the concept of reversing / curing diabetes at this time. However, unlike diabetes, prediabetes is reversible. If you have prediabetes and want to avoid serious future health consequences, you can lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by ~60% just by changing your habits (e.g. increasing physical activity, improving your diet).

Great question! A team of researchers from University College London published a study in the September issue of the journal Addictive Behaviors that investigated whether low doses of cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabinoid found in medical marijuana, would help treat nicotine addiction in tobacco smokers who want to quit. The research team, led by Celia J.A. Morgan, used a double-blind, placebo controlled model for their study, which consisted of 24 participants (12 male, 12 female) between the ages 18-35. In order to take place in the study, participants were required to smoke, on …

It depends on a variety of factors including how you like to vape medical marijuana, your budget, and what extra features you want / can live without. Both the G Pen Elite and the PAX 2 vapes have upsides and downsides. Having said that, if we had to choose a winner, it would be the G Pen Elite because we believe it is more user friendly and is much cheaper. The mouthpiece design on the G Pen Elite keeps the unit from overheating and burning your lips; something that cannot be said for the PAX 2. Additionally, unlike …

“Holy Water” is in fact butane hash oil (BHO) – this means the process of creating Holy Water is similar to most samples of shatter, wax, crumble, etc. that you would find at your local medical marijuana dispensary. However, what sets Holy Water apart is its high terpene content. The high concentrations of terpenes in Holy Water gives the end product more of a sappy, liquid consistency with an amazing aroma many medical marijuana patients seem to enjoy.

Research has shown for quite some time that medical marijuana can be used to mediate hunger. In fact, there is a bevy of evidence that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a major role in the stimulation of appetite. It seems that endocannabinoid activity in the central nervous system regulates food intake. This is because whenever you’re hungry your ECS sends signals to your hypothalamus in your brain to tell you it’s time to eat. This phenomenon has a lot to do with why many people report feeling “the munchies” after consuming cannabis. However, a study published earlier this week …

That’s a tricky question. LED technology is perhaps one of the quickest developing areas with significant progress occurring on a regular basis. Some early panel LED fixtures entered the horticultural industry with grand claims that didn’t match up to reality. The marketplace has now matured somewhat and LED grow lights are beginning to find their place. Many medical marijuana growers use LED grow lights to supplement the spectrum of their existing grow light setup in order to steer plants into generative development (flowering and fruiting).
