For those of you who don't know, just as with other leafy green veggies... raw cannabis can be juiced. Only, it seems that the health benefits of raw cannabis juice might exceed those of other amazing greens by a large margin.

I gave up smoking weed & hash years ago after decades of constant use, so I am not overly interested in consuming psychoactive cannabis products, but fear not... cannabis juice is not psychoactive. In the raw juice THC & CBD exist in their acid forms THCa and CBDa which are not only not mind altering, but actually extremely antioxidant.

Instead of sitting here and explaining the wonders of cannabis juicing, I will direct you to watch this short YouTube video:
and then we can get a discussion going about this.

I must report, though, that a number of copies of this video and a couple others like this one:


have been taken down all at once just this very morning. I don't want to suggest that this information is being supressed, but this event did spark me to want to make sure this information is shared. Thus, in case these links go down as well, I have uploaded the first video here as well.

Information like this needs to be shared if only so that critical thinkers like yourselves can analyse the relevant data and see if it floats.

Be well my friends,
HF

Does anyone have any idea if the hemp that grows everywhere would have similar benefits? I would expect not much THC/THCa, but what about CBD? Hemp grows everywhere here as a weed and it'd be nice if there was some real use for it.

I'm sure it is juiceable, and has all the normal green vegetable juice benfits. CBD, CBN and any of 400+ other cannabinoids are likely to be present as well.

And, then there are the seeds. Cold pressed hempseed oil is a superfood in its own right with all the amino acids needed for the human body in the correct ratios. A veritable cornucopia of health, this plant.

Nice find HF!

I gotta get me a juicer.

I wonder if consuming it raw would cause a positive for THC on a drug test?

Was just discussing this with an Olympic swimmer friend of mine...

Anyone who might know about this PLEASE chime in.

All I could tell my bro was that even if non-psychoactive, it is likely that the metabolites in his urine would get him flagged... as far as my limited knowledge of this goes.

another plant that is a close relative to cannabis that you can juice and eat for the amazing health effects is wild stinging nettles. Yes stinging nettles. You can even eat them raw becasue the sting is neutralized very fast in the mouth by saliva..or you can dry the nettles which will also neutralize them. Even the sting of the nettle is actaully good for you and is made up in large part of seratonin and acetylcholine that it's needles injects into you.

Any legal medical cannabis growers out there can take the excess fan leaves taken off during super-cropping and juice them. I've even just blended them into smoothies without filtration, too. Absolutely delicious!
They will be less psychoactive the earlier on in the plants life you take them from.
Harvest-time fan leaves / trim / buds juiced will def. test + for THC for some time afterwards depending on intake and metabolism. Not sure about the younger samples [vegetative plants and 1-3 weeks into a flowering season] but I would assume this would also create similar metabolites in the body. Nowhere near the concentrations of terpenoids [nor a similar profile] found @ harvest time.
Nettles are good and all, but taste nowhere near as good as cannabis. ;]

I fully agree. The THC and CBD are being metabolized regardless of whether they are psychoactive. The metabolites (metabolized THC) are what "they" look for in urine.

It probably isnt worth the risk.

HF Thanks allot for this post, great information.

I just got a juicer for Christmas, lol.

This is awesome! Thank you so much HF.
