Greetings
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) claimed that Cannabidiol, CBD is Schedule 1, a controlled substance! Who is kidding who? An article in the Miami Herald May 3 2018, stated that the DEA wanted a clarification that CBD is a controlled substance. The DEA claims that the extract comes from marijuana which is a controlled substance. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, a Federal court sided with the DEA. The Hemp industry is up-in-arms because CBD is also produced from the hemp plant.
I am so beside myself right now. I am trying to maintain composure so that I can relay this information to you with accuracy, CBD is found in hemp and has been very beneficial to help control certain symptoms. There are no psychotropic effects with CBD, the same as with an aspirin. Many people who need the whole plant extract from Indica cannabis have settled for CBD so that they did not have to worry about the legal issues. Now that this is placed before them, what choices are left? There is but one choice, pharmaceuticals.
Is the picture starting to form here for you? I certainly hope so. Big Pharma has reached an even lower low. But to me, it is crystal clear just how much influence the pharmaceutical companies have on our lawmakers. We constantly see how pharmaceuticals are destroying lives. Yet, because of the huge amount of money made, they are still allowed to continue. I hope that you will join me and contact your federal congresspeople to let them know just how mad you are. The link is below if you do not know who your Representatives are.
Please, I urgently request that you join with me in an effort to let our government know that we want the medication that God gave us without all the bureaucratic red tape. Even with states that made medicinal cannabis legal, the expense is so great that many can not afford it. Again, their only option is pharmaceuticals. For a few dollars for seeds and solvent, I can produce enough whole plant extract to last the year and for many, save their own lives.
God bless you in this life and the next!

Since the recent posting of my newest profile picture on Facebook, I have had a few people ask me the secret to my success with cannabis and supplements. What it is that I am doing. And while I can tell you that there is not a super pill, there is a list of things that I follow. I am often surprised at the reactions when I explain the things that I do.
Let me first start by telling you that my goal is to stay as close to God made as possible. I absolutely believe the Bible to be the word of God. 1 Peter 2:24 states “by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Kings 3:14 says “and if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you long life.” Hosea 4:6 “my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. …” I am not going get churchie here but just to point out where my faith lies. Why things had to get so bad before getting better, I don’t know. Why must a caterpillar die before the butterfly emerges?
Yes, I have made mistakes and still do, but God is gracious to forgive them and forget after I ask. I also knew that I could not thrive without gaining a lot of knowledge that pertained to me.
I despise pharmaceuticals! Having had to take some antibiotics because of such serious infection(s), I was prescribed Opioids for the pain in my legs at night and Baclofen to help reduce the severe muscle spasticity. I found cannabis, a God given herb, will control both pain and spasticity without the nasty side effects. If you know me, you can remember the terrible condition that I was in 4 – 5 years ago. My goal has not changed and though it seemed like it was not working, I believed that what I was learning and knew would not fail.
I have been taking nutritional supplements since 2007 because it sounded like a good idea. I’ve also known that I had to take responsibility and learn all that I could about was I was taking. You’ll find that Youngevity’s Beyond Tangy Tangerine to be a complete supplement lacking only the omega fatty acids. To my discovery that in the chronic condition that I was in I needed to add more to it. So, I also add selenium, calcium, and vitamin D3, found in Youngevity’s Pollen Burst, to my daily routine. There was a time that I really needed my protein level up and Youngevity has a great powder for that. Probiotics and prebiotics to repair the gut from the antibiotics.
I found out nearly 3 years ago that I was 190 pounds overweight! Still hard for me to confess that. That is hard to lose when you can exercise but how do you do it sitting in a wheelchair? I knew that I could lose the weight following a high protein, low carb diet. But knowing if I stopped the fat would return so I made a lifetime eating change. As of my last weight check in Feb., I am down 91 pounds. I do use an online site to help me track what I eat so that I can know and no longer guess at the amounts I eat.
I think the bottom line is simple, maybe not easy. I had to decide what was important to me. Once that was done it was a daily and sometimes hourly struggle to follow through. There were many nights that I would go to bed with an oxygen hose in my nose, that I asked God to take me home, but if I awake in the morning I would do my best to bring him praise. I have modified my Grammy Pratt’s bedtime prayer. “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray dear Lord, my soul, you’ll keep. If I should die and not awake, I pray dear Lord my soul you’ll take. If I should live another day, in my heart dear Lord I pray you’ll stay.”
medication delivered into the lungs has a quicker reaction time. Corticosteroids are taken orally or by injection to get the medication into the blood stream.
, after the military, Willie Nelson went to college. It was there that he decided that music was going to be his niche in life. The medicinal values in the cannabis relieved a lot of discomfort and spasms from his back problem. I know from personal experience that cannabis will indeed help to control or even eliminate muscle spasms and pain. More important than masking the pain, the cannabinoids will also go to work and repair damaged tissue. That is far more than any pain killer that the pharmaceuticals offer can say.
is growing every day. Be like Willie Nelson at 84 singing and dancing to your good life!
I finally made my oil and got started with the very small dose on January 20th, 2017. Just a quick note, start off with small doses. I made the arrogant decision to think that I could handle a larger dose. This oil is very potent and will make you feel euphoric. I licked the spatula and about 2 hours later was well aware of my mistake. The great thing was that I had no toxic effects and a couple hours later, I was fine.
up with another disease that I can not remember or spell. All that I knew was that the doctors told him that it was similar to leukemia. His bone marrow was no longer able to produce red blood cells. They told him that there was no cure and that he could receive transfusions as long as they were helpful. Needless to say, the transfusions stopped being helpful. I tried to get him to try the cannabis oil, but he was that there was no information to think that it would be beneficial. My thought was that if it, his disease, was similar to leukemia just not cancerous, how could it not be a possible benefit. My dad was unwilling to give it a try and now he is gone.
There is much thought and discussion about the Bible and cannabis. I have read several articles and even watched a couple of videos. After all of that, I want to share with you, my suggestion. What is 
the true word of God on the subject? Let’s not get into conjecture and “what if”.
I will be giving you Scripture verses from the New International Version of the Bible. I use that version because it is easier for me to read and understand, just plain English. Genesis 1:12, “The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.” You notice that there is no specification other than “plants bearing seed”. That indicates to me that seed bearing plants and fruits are good.
Genesis 1:29-30, 29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. Here 
again, literal words tell us that every green plant that bears seed is given to us, by God, for our nourishment. Surely we can feel safe to believe that cannabis being a seed bearing green plant was given to us for our benefit.
The Bible and cannabis are really clear. Some people want to retranslate the Bible into saying that cannabis was used in the formula to make anointing oil. I do not have the knowledge to do this and therefore I am not going to promote that theory as truth. I do accept that the bible is the living word of God and is our literal guide to living as our Heavenly Father would have us. There again the scriptures warn us of over indulging in anything and cannabis is NO exception. Hosea 4:6, my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.”
I would encourage you to do right by your Creator and yourself. Take control of your health. Communicate with your elected officials and get the laws changed! Don’t be a victim of the greedy pharmaceutical companies.
Please leave your comment below and help spread the word, “cannabis kills cancer”
There is much information as well as misinformation about cannabis oil. I would like to dispell any misinformation and provide you will the truths that I have come to know. The cannabis oil that I am referring to is an extract from cannabis buds. The oil is achieved by washing the resin from the plant 
material. Cannabis oil is remaining after the solvent used to wash the material is boiled away.
I have heard many opinions about cannabis oil. You may have heard a fair share of them yourself. The truth that I have come to understand is that the oil if made correctly is better for ingesting than smoking. The oil can also be used in vaporizers. So for those who need to use cannabis for respiratory issues, there are no carcinogens from the burning carbon material. The key is to wash the cannabis material completely. Remove the solvent, and never allow the solvent/oil mixture to get too hot.
Some concerns may be not knowing what was used to make the oil. Also the unknown of what solvent was used to make the oil. I was even cautioned about the possibility of overdosing. First of all let start by saying, that if you make your own oil you have ruled out the first two concerns. You know what plant material and what solvent was used. To make the oil for yourself is a simple process and you probably already have the tools needed. I am not a Doctor so I am in no position to tell you what to do or how much to take. I can only say that if a smaller amount is taken to start a couple of times a day the body tends to build up a tolerance to it. That is not to confuse tolerance with resistance. The endocannabinoid receptors already in your body will get used to absorbing the cannabinoids in the oil.
I have included a video for you. It is a little over 20 minutes in length but will give you some verification to this post. I hope that this information will give you some help in your journey. If you should have any questions unanswered, please comment below and I will respond usually within 24 hours. Also, I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. If your state is still not allowing medicinal cannabis, contact your state legislators. We all need to keep on our federal congressional legislators. Cannabis is God given and not man made!
Cannabis herb or drug? That is a question of much debate. Merriam – Webster defines herb as:
“a seed-producing annual, biennial, or perennial that does not develop persistent woody tissue but dies down at the end of a growing season – a plant or plant part valued for its medicinal, savory, or aromatic qualities.” This definition really answers the question.
Cannabis is a seed producing, flowering plant that dies off at the end of a growing season. There are many varieties but three species, Indica, Sativa, and Ruderalis. Hemp is a variety of the Sativa species which has different values not generally associated with medicine.
Some may bring up the point that the DEA has marijuana listed as a Schedule 1 drug. That means, according to the DEA, cannabis has NO medicinal benefits. The United States of America used cannabis in medicines to treat numerous medical conditions until the 1900’s. Illnesses including mental disorders, gout, cholera, hydrophobia, and insomnia. The cannabis herb was also used to treat respiratory conditions like asthma by smoking it. Even more recently, studies suggest that inhaling either the smoke or vapor could help patients with COPD. The THC component has shown signs, in laboratory tests, to even kill cancerous tumors.
Drugs, according to Wikipedia, are any substance other than foods that when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin or dissolved under the tongue causes a physiological change in the body. A pharmaceutical drug is a chemical substance used to treat, cure, prevent, or diagnose a disease or to promote well-being. These definitions may be boring but help us to understand the plant called cannabis.
Based upon these definitions and findings we can conclude that cannabis is an herb with drug-like qualities. The concern that marijuana has psychoactive effects should be no reason to keep it from those that choose to use it. Caffeine is found in countless beverages as well as chocolate also having the psychoactive properties in it. I see no value in banning caffeine, do you? Yet caffeine has no real medicinal value. Your comments and questions are always welcome. Please share your thoughts.
Sept. 21, 2016, drug raid. Image, if you will, sitting at your 81-year-old mother’s table eating lunch
not expecting a drug raid. The sound of helicopter blades whirring fills the house and vibrates the windows. You look outside to see a low-flying helicopter hovering and moving slowly about. Two persons are in the open doorway holding something. State troopers arrive in several vehicles minutes after the helicopter leaves. One bangs on the door and flashes a badge asking you if you were aware of any marijuana growing on the property. The trooper tells you that if you do not require a warrant they will not press charges.
Margaret Holcomb and her son Tim Holcomb
This is what happened at an 81-year-old grandmother’s home. She was not at home during the drug raid. Her son and daughter were there having a late lunch. To point out Margaret Holcomb was raising a single plant. Her hope that it would help her deal with the symptoms of arthritis and glaucoma and to help her sleep at night. Although Ms. Holcomb does not hold a medical marijuana card to authorize her growing the plant. Nevertheless, Ms. Holcomb’s herb was in the back yard, fenced in from the neighbors and tucked in her raspberry plants. Ms. Holcomb is not a social activist but says that she feels her civil rights were violated.
According to an email to the Daily Hamshire Gazette, a spokesman David Procopio for the State Police verified the drug raid in the Amherst and Northampton areas Sept 21, 2016. The State Police in a joint effort with the National Guard seized a total of 44 plants that day. Of course, the sum of the plants taken was from various properties in those areas. Procopio said that none of the property owners were charged with a crime. Also that the plants were in plain sight. How many people have a thermal imaging device and a helicopter to see in their neighbor’s backyard?
With the amount of money spent on this operation, I can think of far worse crimes to spend it on. Michael Cutler, a Northampton attorney, believes authorities are using up funds allocated before the end of the fiscal year to gas up the helicopter and do fly-overs. “Is this the way we want our taxpayer money spent, to hassle an 81-year-old and law-abiding patients?” Cutler said.
Margaret Holcomb’s son Tim wonders if the crackdown is to stop citizens from self-medicating. As a matter of fact, most of us wonder the same thing. Self-medicating would intrude on the lucrative medical marijuana industry. Once again we can see how money influences the scale of right or wrong. My opinion is that anything that is a danger to society should be legally regulated. Why make something illegal that possess helpful benefits to an individual.
