With the opioid epidemic spreading like cancer, researchers are on a constant hunt, looking for safer alternatives for pain management. One such questionable alternative is cannabis. The therapeutic use of cannabis has puzzled many scientists over the years and yet it continues to serve as an effective alternative to opioids.
Today we are asking: Could medical cannabis effectively contain the opioid epidemic? Why is the demand for medical cannabis at an all-time high? Let's throw some light on the much-debated topic: Marijuana Vs Opioid Epidemic.26
The thought of using medical cannabis as a treatment option for children is probably not the first thing in most parents’ minds even though it is becoming more and more popular nowadays. The truth is that medical cannabis is actually completely safe for treating many different kinds of childhood ailments.
In a lot of cases the primary component of cannabis that is being used to treat children is CBD (cannabidiol). Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is the main psychoactive constituent in cannabis, CBD does not make you high meaning parents won’t have to worry about their kids becoming “zoned out” if they get treated with CBD. In many cases, CBD just might be the “miracle” that many parents are looking for when it comes to treating their children’s ailments. But make no mistake, THC is used to tread kids as well.07
We recently released a video on the channel discussing the High Street CBD Products which are growing in popularity throughout the United Kingdom, and indeed, much of Europe and the rest of the world.
The reason for making this video was to make people aware that some of these CBD products on the market may not be what they say on the tin, due to the fact that Cannabidiol (CBD) has become a marketing buzzword which is likely to sell new products.01
Cannabidiol (CBD), is a cannabinoid identified in the cannabis plant and its benefits have long been studied.
Did you know that cannabis has proved to be a remedy for many illnesses, and can help with the cardiovascular system? CBD has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties that have therapeutic effects for cardiovascular diseases.
The lifestyle you lead is the reason for cardiovascular disease like having too much junk food, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol etc. These habits can eventually lead to heart disease, hypertension etc. Of course, a solution to guard against these issues is a good diet and exercise. But let's also look at the benefits of CBD for the cardiovascular system:13

This week we got our hands on some Amnesia CBD by Herbalogy, a UK-based company operating in the CBD industry and offering a range of CBD-rich cannabis strains.
The CBD flower scene has flourished over the past couple of years as more and more companies and products have been brought to market, bringing a whole host of new flavours, variations and strengths. The Amnesia CBD that is the topic of this post is a good example of a newer product on the market, with the CBD content tested at 22% Cannabidiol.
