Summary

The video below tells the story of Sadie, an 11-month-old baby who suffered from 300 seizures per day. She was given Cannabidiol, an oil-based extract of marijuana.
What happens next blew my mind.
Grab a Kleenex and watch. The truth is, marijuana - although an extremely controversial drug - has been proven to be effective for medical issues like: -Pain -Epilepsy (seizures) -Muscle Tension -Anxiety -Depression -Nausea -Cancer -Anorexia -Insomnia -PTSD -Crohn's & Colitis -And much, much more...

My guest in today's podcast, Dr. James Schmachtenberger, has made it his goal - as the executive producer a new documentary called "The Science of Weed" - to put the truth and real facts in the hands of those who need marijuana-based medicine, so they can make informed decisions about utilizing cannabis not as a recreational drug per se, but instead as an effective treatment method for health issues.

In today's podcast, James and I discuss: -The difference between medicinal cannabis and weed... -The best medicinal uses of marijuana... -How you can use marijuana without side effects of endocannibanoids... -Why the WADA has marijuana listed as a banned substance for athletes... -How you can use marijuana to sleep better or beat insomnia... -Whether marijuana is effective as an anti-inflammatory... -Do you have to be careful with mold and fungi in marijuana, and how do you know your sources are “good”... -Is weed addictive?
