Peyote is the Original American Trip
Peyote, known botanically as Lophophora Williamaii, is the great American high. For the past almost 5,500 years, Native American tribes of the Plains such as the Navajo, Comanche, Sioux and Kiowa, have used the spineless, tufted, blue-green, button-shaped cactus as the centerpiece of enhancing their religious rituals. It is known for its psychoactive properties when ingested.

What Are the Dangers of Synthetic Marijuana?
Imagine we could take a time machine back to before the political scene was so ridiculous. I'm not talking about a Trump and Clinton election, but rather the short-winded feud of the Obama/Romney election. Who could forget Romney? America's favorite handsome Republican nominee named after an important piece of baseball equipment. Romney, being the quintessential poster boy for American progress, had quite the stance on the evils of marijuana. In an attempt to argue against the advent of medical marijuana, Romney had only this to say: "People talk about medicinal marijuana. And you know, you hear that story that people who are sick need medicinal marijuana. "But marijuana is the entry drug for people trying to get kids hooked on drugs. I don't want medicinal marijuana; there are synthetic forms of marijuana that are available for people who need it for prescription. Don't open the doorway to medicinal marijuana."

It is the future. Paul Reeves, twenty-eight, energetic, and successful, is the sales manager of a company that sells underwater real estate.

How to Beat the Marijuana Munchies
All of us who have ever smoked weed know about “the munchies," defined as that desperate craving for sugar and carbohydrates which can send otherwise sane individuals rushing out in the middle of a snowstorm to purchase candy bars and pizza. Obviously, one does not need to be a doctor to suspect that years of overloading the bloodstream with sugar can have a deleterious effect on a person's health. But how serious a health hazard is the munchies?

Can Cannabis Oil Cure Cancer?
With the legalization movement finally starting to make some headway globally, more and more claims are being made about the therapeutic properties of the world's most controversial plant, cannabis. But can cannabis oil cure cancer? Anyone's who's ever smoked a joint can attest to some of the less spectacular claims made by those who advocate it's medicinal use, aiding with sleep, relaxation and appetite. However, the most grandiose assertions about the cannabis plant are a little harder for the average user to relate to, most of all being the claim that cannabis oil can actually cure cancer.

Marijuana for Veterans with PTSD
Did you know that over 300,000 veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been diagnosed with PTSD by the US Department of Veterans Affairs? And thousands of more have yet to receive recognition. Recently, a movement among US veterans advocating the physical and mental benefits of medical marijuana for PTSD has grown. They want the Department of Veterans Affairs to allow their doctors to recommend and prescribe medical marijuana as a treatment for the disorder in place of prescription drugs. The VA, along with other federal agencies and anti-legalization groups, still don't consider marijuana a solution for veterans suffering with PTSD. So why are veterans asking to use medical marijuana for PTSD? The drug is easing the pain for veterans inside and out.

Herbal Extract Health Benefits
Liquid herbal extracts are excellent options for healing because of their easy assimilation and high concentration of an herbs active constituents. Once a few drops of liquid extract are placed under the tongue, the brain tells the body that it's in there and ready to do its job. This process has been used successfully for administering the benefits of THC for medical purposes. Marijuana and its health benefits have been contested for decades. Herbal extraction is another step toward the institutionalization of the weed industry. And because it is free from binders and fillers, more of the beneficial properties of the herb gets into the bloodstream.
