The Cancer Industry EXPOSED! Ways to Prevent and CURE Cancer

2012-12-14T05:08:00.001-08:00

It turns out, THC when ingested in highly concentrated forms (such as EATING CANNABIS OIL) will attack any mutated cells in your body while strengthening and rejuvenating the healthy cells.

The PERFECT Cure for Cancer: it works fast, it works well, it works on many different forms of Cancer in ALL stages and it has ZERO harmful side effects. (Unlike Chemo which deteriorates your entire body and kills 1 in 5 patients). Not only that, but it dissolves ALL forms of tumors and can even combat superbugs like MRSA.

Germinate Marijuana Seeds

2012-09-08T03:38:00.000-07:00

The importance of germinating seeds is high. If seeds become to wet or too dry you can toss them away. So please, in order to germinate your marijuana seeds follow the instructions. The basics that you need are as follow:

Two plates
paper
Neutral water
a mixture 40% sand and 60% soil
Pots for the planets
A fluorescent tube

Place the seed between some dampened pieces of paper towel. It's highly recommended to use distilled water to germinate your marijuana seeds.

Afterwards, place the marijuana seed (in the towels) between 2 plates and put it somewhere warm. The best temperature to germ your seeds is between 21 and 25 degrees.

Open the plate's only once a day just to have a look. Take note of a tiny white root tip starting to emerge from the marijuana seed. Some marijuana seeds will sprout in a day, while others need a week before they crack open.

Ensure that the towel will not dry out. Put a little bit of water over it every three days.

Once the root has come out of the marijuana seed, you have to put the marijuana seeds in a small pot filled with soil.

Make a little hole in the soil. Holes with half an inch deep are suffice. Plant the marijuana seed with its root facing the hole. Cover the hole with some soil and give it a little bit of water. Make sure the marijuana seeds are still covered with soil after you water them.

Place the pots with the marijuana seeds under a fluorescent lamp and give it a little bit of water every day.

Turn the lights on for about a few hours a day. After 3 to 7 day's, you will see the first few signs of the marijuana plant. The lamp should be at least an inch above the topmost portion of the young marijuana plant in order to avoid burning its leaves.

After 3 to 4 weeks, the marijuana plant should be about 4 inches high and thus big enough to be transferred to a bigger pot. If the temperature allows it, you can now put them outside or place them in your indoor growing room.

How To Make Cannabutter.

Making Marijuana Butter Video At Bottom of Page!

LEARN A QUICKER WAY TO MAKE CANNABUTTER

Pot butter ingredients:

5 sticksof unsalted butter, 2 oz.or more marijuana leaf, 14 grams of buds.
1/2 cupof water.

Tools to make weed butter:

Large pot for boiling, large bowl,
small bowl, strainer,grinder, cheesecloth
or simply an old pair of pantyhose.

1.Prepare marijuana leaf or bud. You can crush or grind your marijuana leaves using a clean electric coffee grinder for ease, or you can do it by hand with a bud grinder or with your hand. The more the leaf and bud is ground the easier it is for THC extraction.
2. Grabyour large pot and add the 3 sticks of unsalted stick butter. Heat on very low stirring occasionally until melted. Don't get stoned and burn it!

3. Once the butter is melted, add your marijuana leaf or bud, and water to the pot. Mix and bring to a slight simmer with the heat still on low and cover.
4.The hardest step in making marijuana butter is that you must wait! The longer you wait with this recipe the better the bud budder.

Let your weed butter mixture simmer for no less than two hours, and no more than 24. Yes patience! If the mixture looks like it could use some more water during the wait time feel free to add a little bit more.

5.After you can't wait any longer, remove the bud butter from heat and let it cool until manageable (about five or ten min). Now pour your fresh marijuana butter through the strainer into your large bowl, this removes the big pieces of marijuana leaf.
6.More extraction for a nice buttery consistency. If you have a cheesecloth handy this step is easy. If your butter is still hot wear rubber gloves. If you do not want to burn yourself. Soak the cheesecloth in the budder, and squeeze into your small bowl used for storage. You can repeat this process to remove more of the marijuana remnants if you feel it is necessary.
If you do not have a cheesecloth then we would recommend using an old pair of pantyhose. Cut the foot off the pantyhose and carefully pour your marijuana butter mixture in and squeeze over your small bowl.
7. Cover your bowl and place it into the refrigerator to cool. The remaining water will separate from the butter. Once cooled you can easily pour off the excess water, and enjoy your fresh marijuana butter.
Now that you know how to make cannabutteryou should try it in one of your favorite recipes that requires butter, like brownies, cake, or cookies.

How To Make Canna Oil

2011-11-16T07:00:00.001-08:00

Items Needed: 1/2 oz of quality bud/trim, ground fine not powdered. 1/2 oz Carbolized marijuana aka vaporizer duff (optional) 1 Cup of cooking oil You can chop your medical marijuana, leave it as is or grind to a coarse consistency. Heat the cooking oil to 280 degrees in a double boiler. You can use a candy thermometer to make sure you don't let the oil get over 280 degrees.
Place your medical marijuana in a double boiler and simmer for an hour or two. Stir frequently to keep your oil and cannabinoids from burning. Keep the temperature below 280 degrees. Filter through a small stainless steel strainer or coffee filter. Save your filtered cannaoil in a jar. Cannaoil lasts much longer than cannabutter because cannabutter is made from a dairy product.
You can also use cannaoil in many recipes where oil is called for instead of butter. Be careful not to burn the oil and never bring the temperature beyond 280 degrees even when cooking. Cannaoil can be used in salad dressing recipes and can be made with olive oil. If you don't have a double boiler or a candy thermometer or just don't want to take a chance on burning cannabinoids off then you may want to use a crock pot. Heat the oil in a crock pot set on low. Once the oil is hot add your medical marijuana. You can also and other herbs like basil or thyme. Cover with a lid and stir frequently to avoid burning. Cook mix for up to 6 hours for best results. Strain the oil through two layers of cheese cloth into your container squeezing the oil through the cloth. Repeat one or two more times to make sure most if not all of the plant material is gone. Store the cannaoil in an airtight glass canning jar etc. Keep your oil in the refrigerator or in a cool place away from sunlight.

How To Make Cannabutter

2011-11-16T06:57:00.000-08:00

	Cannabutter Items Needed: 1 cup unsalted butter 1 cup quality medical marijuana trim/bud 2 cups water 2 sauce pans Cheesecloth Bring the water to a boil in a stainless steel sauce pan, then add the unsalted butter. Turn the boil down to a simmer and add the medical marijuana. Simmer the mixture for three to four hours and add more hot water when needed. Make sure not to let the water get to low and the amount of water isn't extremely important. If you use a large sauce pan just use more water.
Some people boil their cannabutter for less than three hours but we find that we get better results when we boil for at least three hours. What happens is that the butter being an oil absorbs THC from the resin glands on the medical marijuana. Other cannabinoids also accumulate in the butter. If you have a vaporizer you can even add your "carbolized" or used medical marijuana to the mix. This may help with those who have neurological problems or need strong pain medicine. After the mix simmers for at least three hours place cheesecloth over a large bowl and pour the mix through the cheesecloth. Have somebody hold the cheesecloth tight or use a large rubber band to hold it on the bowl. This will separate the trim from the butter. It's good to run some pure hot water through the cheesecloth to remove any butter that may be caught up in the cloth. You can simmer a pan of water on the side just before you filter off the marijuana from the butter.
Remove the cheese cloth and put the bowl of cannabutter mix in your refrigerator or freezer to cool down faster. (If you use your freezer be careful not to let the water freeze.) The cannabutter will separate from the water and float on the top of the water. When the cannabutter cools down it will harden. Don't heat medical marijuana beyond 300 degrees when making butters or oils because it degrades the THC which weakens it's strength. Once the cannabutter hardens it will cover the top of the bowl. Now you simply poke a hole on the side of the cannabutter and slowly drain off the water that's below the cannabutter. Cannabutter will last about 1 week in the refrigerator. You can freeze it and get a month or more out if it that way. You can also use this same method to make canna oil by using olive oil and other cooking oils. Use your cannabutter in any recipe that calls for butter. You can also cut it with regular butter if it is too strong etc.

How To Re-veg A Marijuana Plant

2011-11-16T06:55:00.001-08:00

First of all re-veg means to re-vegetate in grower slang. Re-vegetating is when you take a plant that's in flower and force it back into vegetative state. Vegetative state is the state or mode a plant is in when it is NOT flowering. The main reason to re-vegetate is to make a mother plant. It's nice to keep a mother plant in veg state, that way when you want to make new plants you just take cuttings from her and root them. Sometimes a good plant sneaks up on you and you may decide you want to preserve her and re-vegging is one option. There is a trick to re-vegging a marijuana plant though. You need to keep enough shade/sucker leaves on the plant to allow it to draw water up and transpire.

If you don't keep enough shade leaves on your marijuana plant it can drown easily. Keep the lower "popcorn" buds on so you have some sites for re-vegetation to take place. When you water be extremely careful not to give your plant much more water than the plant is going to use in a day. Don't soak the pot. Feed your plant light doses of grow nutrients. I also like to use a product called Greenfuse Grow, it helps accelerate plant growth. I don't use as much as the manufacturer suggests most of the time. Definitely don't give the plant a heavy dose of this in the beginning stages of re-vegging. You also need to keep enough bud sites going because that's where you are going to see the plant begin to re-veg. Without any bud sites, the plant can't produce new vegetative growth. So cut your plant back similar to the picture above. This way you can harvest over 95% of the medicine and have plenty bud sites to get some good re-veg action.
Make sure to leave as many of those sucker leaves on as possible. Put your plant into your veg room and give it 18 -20 hours of light. There is no need to give the plant straight 24 hours of light unless you are using florescent lighting. I don't recommend using florescent lights to re-veg with but it has been done. It will take about 1-2 weeks before you begin to see new growth shooting from the buds If you use a simple 400 watt metal halide HID light. Keep on watering LIGHTLY until the plant becomes bushy again and starts using more water. Once the plant begins to re-veg start giving it more grow nutrients. After 4 or 5 weeks you should have a plant that has fully transformed from a mature flowering plant to a mature plant in vegetative mode. In a couple more weeks you should be ready to start taking cuttings. Remember to keep your mother plant in 18-20 hours of light and to give it at least 4 hours rest every night. Some growers believe that a marijuana plant becomes more potent as it ages. After it reaches about 1 year it maxes out in potency

How To Dry And Cure Marijuana

2011-11-16T06:52:00.001-08:00

After you have properly trimmed your medical marijuana you will want to give it a proper dry and cure. The process of drying and curing marijuana can and will effect the quality of the final product. The best dry is usually a slow dry. Drying too fast will lock in chlorophyll, nutrient residuals and other things that a slow dry helps remove. You also want a fairly cool and well ventilated room, 60 - 70 degrees is about ideal. A good fan to remove gas build up in the dry area will also help improve flavor and prevent mold. As marijuana and other plant life decomposes and breaks down it produces carbon dioxide gas. It can smell like a bail of straw or alphalpha and it can make your final product taste and smell funny. Proper ventilation will eliminate this problem. To get a nice slow dry you will need to control the humidity. Depending on the time of year you may need a humidifier or a de-humidifier. If it's cool and rainy or too warm you may even need something to control the temperature. Once you get the climate control tuned in you need to put up lines to hang your buds on. Some people hang the entire plant upside down because they believe the THC will flow from the roots into the buds. That is one of the many myths about growing marijuana. THC does not flow in the marijuana plant. The roots have such a minimal amount of THC that even if it did flow it would be useless anyway.
THC forms in the trichomes on the mature flowers of the marijuana plant. That's where the good stuff is for most patients. This is what hash, hash oil and hemp oil is made from. It forms on the flowers and stays on the flowers until it's removed by humans or decomposes into the ground etc. Hanging your plants upside down with the roots on also tends to get dirt on your marijuana flowers. Nobody likes dirty marijuana. Many people use fishing line or other similar string and run it from one side of the area to the other and back again. Leave enough space between lines to get decent ventilation. Once you have your dry room or area set up you are ready to trim and hang your marijuana. Space the trimmed flowers out so they aren't touching each other across the lines. Set up a fan to keep the air in the room properly circulated. Make sure to sweep the floor and clean the entire room well before you hang your marijuana. Dirt particles can easily stick to the sticky trichomes on marijuana buds. Once you have everything trimmed and hung shoot for a humidity of about 40% if you can. 50 is acceptable but much higher than that the first day or 2 can promote mold inside the denser marijuana buds. The denser the buds are the longer you want to keep the humidity around 40%. Indica and Indica dominate strains that have very tight dense flowers are usually more prone to inner bud mold while hanging. Once your medical marijuana flowers begin to feel a little dry and slightly crispy on the outside let the humidity come up to 50 - 55%. Keep the room ventilated and the air circulated at all stages so far.
You want to keep the buds in this stage for at least a week, 2 if possible. Some strains require more than 2 weeks. The longer growing strains often have more nutrient residuals to release and do better with a longer cure time. By drying like this you are really getting a "pre cure" on your medical marijuana. Once you have given the marijuana a proper dry time bring the room down to 50% humidity for 4 hours or so. It's best to do this on a dry day unless you have a dehumidifier. Once the marijuana stems snap but not a crispy snap it's usually ready to jar up. The flowers should still have a little moisture in them but not a lot. It should be about as dry as you like to get it when you like to smoke it but just a tad moister. Open the jars every day for a minute or so until the buds are the perfect moisture. After a week or 2 they are usually cured and ready to smoke. After 3 weeks in the jar they are usually premo. Keeping your medical marijuana in a glass jar helps preserve quality and flavor. This is the quickest and most effective way I have found to dry and cure marijuana and get a high quality product.

Medical marijuana law rendered useless

2011-08-30T06:35:00.000-07:00

I hope state Attorney General Bill Schuette is happy. With Wednesday's Michigan Court of Appeals ruling, it now is illegal to dispense medical cannabis in compassion centers and dispensaries in Michigan. The appeals court ruled the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act of 2008 does not give clearance for the sale of marijuana -- even among medical marijuana cardholders.
It is a travesty that Schuette and multiple county prosecutors and law enforcement agencies throughout the state have joined together for what they believe is a fight for our security and protection. They think the act should never have been enacted, and they are doing whatever they can to stop sick people from getting the help they need.
The three-judge panel's recent decision to ban the sale and dispensing of cannabis probably has Schuette licking his chops. I hope he doesn't get too excited, though. We, the people, will not go down easily...
I find it ridiculous that just when we gain some ground in the fight for liberty, public officials come and snatch our freedoms away. Whether you are a patient with a debilitating illness or just a concerned, freedom-loving citizen, please consider attending the Sept. 7 MMMA patient rally at the state Capitol in Lansing and show your support for liberty.
If that is not possible, email, snail-mail or call the attorney general's office to let Bill Schuette know his employer -- the electorate -- won't stand for this act of tyranny.

Delta 9 Labs Double Kush is a cross between cannabis seeds from Kushage and our Afghan male. The kushage was a pheno type that leaned heavily towards its kush side. The hairs were more of an orange hue rather than pink. While the male we used pounds on the weight. This is a heavy strain that will enjoy a SOG style setup and the yield blows up when its fed with a hydro system. A thoroughly enjoyable smoke with very pleasant after effects. The Double Kush cannabis strain can take a heavy feeding.

Hemp Seed Oil

2011-02-25T07:22:00.000-08:00

The oil contained in the hemp seed is 75-80% polyunsaturated fatty acids (the good fats) and only 9-11% of the less desired saturated fatty acids. Hemp seed oil is reputed to be the most unsaturated oil derived from the plant kingdom. The essential fatty acids (EFAs) contained in hemp seed oil are required in our diet more than any other vitamin, yet our bodies do not naturally produce them. They must be obtained from external sources int he food we eat. EFAs are involved with producing life's energy throughout the human body and without them, life is not possible. In general, North Americans have a high dietary deficiency in EFAs due to our high intake of animal fats versus plant fats, caused by our high consumption of processed foods and meats versus natural organic foods.
Hemp seed oil has been dubbed "Nature's most perfectly balanced oil", due to the fact that it contains the perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 (linolei/LA) to Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic/LNA) essential fatty acids, determined to be the optimum requirement for long-term healhty human nutrition. In addition, it also contains smaller amounts of 3 other polyunsaturated fatty acids in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), oleic acid and stearidonic acid. The EFA combination is unique among edible oil seeds. (See nutritional composition.)
Extensive studies have demonstrated that many common illnesses are related to deficiencies or imbalances of specific fatty acids in the body. Symptoms are often related to a lack of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and their derivatives, the postaglandins. Most people eating a healthful diet, one that includes a balanced ratio of essential fatty acids, also have healthy skin and a strong immune system. Yet some individuals may experience shortages in specific fatty acids or their metabolites due to dysfunctional enzyme systems or other inhibitions in their metabolic pathways caused by genetic, immune-system-related, or even environmental factors. It has been proven in several clinical studies that dietary supplementation with EFAs or their metabolites (such as GLA) will often prevent or even cure these illnesses. Since hemp seed oil contains both EFAs in a desirable balance while also providing two of the EFA metabolites, it is a good resource for the prevention and treatment of certain illnesses.
Hemp seed oil also provides an adequate supply of antioxidants (Vitamin E), carotene (precursor to Vitamin A), phytosterols, phospholipids and a number of minerals including calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium, phosphorus, along with modest amounts of iron and zinc. Hemp seed oil also provides a good source of chlorophyll.
The daily recommended allowance of hemp seed oil is 14-28 ml (1 to 2 tablespoons). This allowance provides between 8 and 16 grams of Omega 6 (LA) and between 3 and 6 grams of Omega 3 (LNA).
And lastly, unlike other Omega-rich alternatives (flax, evening primrose, borage or fish oils) that are sold mainly as a vitamin supplement, hemp seed, hemp oil and hulled hemp seed all have a flavorful "nutty" taste that will create consumer demand and can easily be added into most any recipe to obtain a balanced diet!
Caution: Highly unsaturated vegetable oils such as Hemp Seed Oil are denatured by heating above 150 Degree C (300 Degree F), which can result in the production of unhealthy trans-fatty acids and increased peroxide values. Use Hemp Seed Oil as a flavor-enhancer in many recipes. Do not use as a substitute for frying oils. Keep bottles tightly sealed after opening and store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Months After Dispensary Raids, No Charges And No Money Back

2011-02-21T14:03:00.000-08:00

More than seven months after Butte County, California law enforcement coordinated raids on seven marijuana dispensaries, the sheriff's office claims it is still "investigating" the case, so the District Attorney's Office has yet to file criminal charges.

A number of dispensary owners have since filed civil cases to have their confiscated money returned, reports Katy Sweeny at the Chico Enterprise-Record.

More than 100 law enforcement officers on June 30, 2010 served search warrants on seven marijuana dispensaries and 11 residences in Chico, Forest Ranch, Magalia and the Sacramento County town of Rio Lindo. The officers stole -- I mean, "confiscated" -- marijuana, guns, financial records, computers, Proposition 215 verifications, cash, and other items.

Investigating officer Jake Hancock, now with the Butte County District Attorney's Office, said forensic copies of the computers have been made, so those have been returned. Other seized materials -- including documents, marijuana, and money -- have not.

Hancock said he's "hopeful" he can "soon" turn over information for the District Attorney's Office to file charges.

To get the search warrants, Hancock provided detailed information to a Butte County Superior Court judge from undercover officers who claimed they bought marijuana with fraudulent recommendations from "a number" of the raided dispensaries.

Those dispensaries include Scripts Only Services, California Harm Reduction Cooperative Inc., California Patients Collective, Mountainside Patient Collective, Doctors Order Cooperative, Northern California Herbal Collective and Cascade Wellness Center.

There is no law that requires collectives or dispensaries to verify medical marijuana authorizations, according to Rick Tognoli of Scripts Only Services; it's just an industry standard.

"This goes back to the ridiculousness of dry counties in the South where you can't buy beer," Tognoli said, adding that patients should be allowed to share marijuana.

Hancock said he had no comment on whether marijuana authorizations must be verified.

Law enforcement hasn't given him back "squat," according to Tognoli, who said officers killed more than 100 marijuana plants from the collective.

Tognoli said he shut down the shop after the raid, but about 100 members still come to the collective for marijuana or get deliveries, he said.
