Oh yeah, they were way hip — but are we finally catching up?

Many researchers believe that changes in human dietary and agricultural practices (due to the criminalization of hemp and cannabis) have left us with dangerous deficiencies of cannabinoids that our bodies actually need to function at their highest levels.

Wait? … Am I saying you’ll be healthier with cannabinoids in your system? Big facts.

The classification of marijuana as a Schedule 1 narcotic has stifled the medical community’s ability to study cannabis and its potential health benefits.

BUT time is a fickle beast

As time has passed and the hurdles have begun to fade, scientific inquiry is beginning to reveal many of the health benefits of cannabis. This is readily apparent in Illinois, where the recreational use of THC is now legal. This has led to a wider acceptance of CBD in the Quad City community.

In an effort to get away from the “getting high” components of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) doctors and researchers have focused their studies on the hundreds of other compounds found within the cannabinoid spectrum

Rising above the pack in its healing properties and therapeutic potential is cannabidiol or CBD.

Do you want better sleep?

One of the most interesting CBD studies surrounds children suffering from PTSD and resulting insomnia.

The patient was given CBD oil, resulting in steady decreases in anxiety and drastically improved sleep patterns.
