23 Major Health
Benefits of Cannabis
1) GLAUCOMA
Glaucoma is the loss of vision due to swelling in the eye on
the optic nerve. Using marijuana as a treatment decreases
the swelling. According to the National Eye Institute, Studies
in the early 1970s showed that marijuana, when smoked,
lowered the intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with normal
pressure to those with glaucoma.
2) REVERSE THE CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS OF TOBACCO
In January 2012, there was a study that was published
in the American Medical Association that found smoking
marijuana did not harm lung function, and even improved
lung capacity.
3) EPILEPTIC SEIZURES
Tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC,
binds to the brain cells responsible for controlling excitability
and regulating relaxation resulting in the control of epileptic
seizures. You can read more of these findings at the Journal
of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.
4) DRAVETS SYNDROME
Dravets syndrome results in severe developmental delays
and seizures. A recorded forty plus children, in Florida, are
being treated with marijuana that is high in cannabidiol and
low in THC. The most extreme case reported a dramatic
decrease in her seizures from 300 a week to 1.
5) STOPS CANCER FROM SPREADING
Researchers at California Pacific Medical Center in San
Francisco reported back in 2007, that CBD may stop the
spread of cancer. Some researchers are even suggesting
that some properties in cannabis could even kill cancer.
6) DECREASES ANXIETY
Marijuana acts as an efficient mood stabilizer, especially for
patients that suffer from social or panic disorders. With the
proper dose it can alleviate anxiety.
7) ALZHEIMERS DISEASE
A study lead by Kim Janda of the Scripps Research Institute
suggests that marijuana may slow the progression of
Alzheimers disease. Amyloid plaques kill brain cells and
cause Alzheimers. THC slows the formation of said Amyloid
plaques.
8) MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
In May 2014, the Canadian Medical Association Journal
published a study with results that varied, however majority
of participants showed significant improvement.
9) OTHER MUSCLE SPASMS
Smoking marijuana is almost always able to alleviate spasms,
if not immediately, a short time after having smoked the
cannabis.
10) HEPATITIS C TREATMENT OPTIONS
A 2006 study in the European Journal of Gastroenterology
and Hepatology found that 86% of patients using marijuana
successfully completed their Hepatitis C therapy, while only
29% of non-smokers completed their treatment, possibly
because the marijuana helps to lessen the treatments of
said side effects.
11) INFLAMMATORY BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS)
IBS symptom alleviation from cannabis is due to the THC
properties. The THC increases permeability in the intestines
allowing bacteria to penetrate.
12) ARTHRITIS
Some of the main healing properties of marijuana are pain
management, anti-inflammatory, and sleep aide. All of which are
aliments of people who suffer from arthritis.
13) METABOLISM AND BALANCED WEIGHT
Recently the American Journal of Medicine released an article
suggesting that pot smokers are, on a whole, skinner and have
a healthier metabolism than the average person.
14) LUPUS
Lupus is roughly defined as when the body starts attacking itself
for no reason. Marijuana has been related to having a positive
effect on the bodys immune system. Some studies even go as
far as to suggest that the same properties can also be related
to the affects it has on pain and anti-nausea.
15) SPURS OF CREATIVITY IN THE BRAIN
Several studies have gone underway to understand the brain
when under the effects of marijuana. Studies have found that
people get better at coming up with new ideas and have far
greater concept relevance.
16) CROHNS DISEASE
A recent study in Israel has recently come to the conclusion
that smoking marijuana significantly reduces the symptoms of
Crohns disease.
17) PARKINSONS DISEASE
Medical marijuana not only improves the sleep of Parkinsons
disease sufferers, but it also reduces pain and tremors
significantly.
18) POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)
THC possesses major sleep aide properties in addition to
relaxation assistance. Recently, the Department of Health
and Human Services had recently approved the treatment of
medical marijuana to treat military veterans.
19) POST STROKE PROTECTION
Some researchers suggest, from the University of Nottingham,
that cannabis can possibly reduce the affect area of the brain
affected by a stroke.
20) CONCUSSION & TRAUMA BRAIN PROTECTION
Although no human testing has occurred as of yet, some
evidence suggests, in mice, that marijuana can actually heal the
brain after a traumatic injury and /or concussion.
21) ELIMATE NIGHTMARES
The reason why marijuana is such a good sleep aide is because
how it affects the later stages of the sleep cycle also known as
REM sleep.
22) CHEMO SIDE EFFECT TREATMENT
The FDA has multiple approvals on drugs that use THC and/
or CBD because there is actual validity in the healing properties
of medical marijuana. It is the most common and sought
after healing properties in marijuana and these same healing
properties are appetite stimulation, pain treatment, decreasing
of nausea, and finally sleep aide. All of which are important if not
necessary to a person being treated with chemotherapy.
23) HELP DRINKERS TO CUT BACK
Alcoholism involves the disruptions of the Endocannabinoid
system. Proven to be the lesser of two evils, CBD and THC helps
drinkers cut back and reduces the side effects of alcohol.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Most people would think that
consuming cannabis would adversely
affect an athlete, especially a former
professional runner, but Chris Barnicle
rejects that theory and states that
cannabis actually helped him become a
better athlete.
A Massachusetts native, Chris
was diagnosed with Crohns disease
when he was 19 years old, while going
to school in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It
affected him so adversely it he was
hospitalized after his first marathon.
His gastrointestinal disorder led him to
find his own way of medically controlling
his symptoms with cannabis infused
peanut butter sandwiches. Being a long
distance runner, Chris didnt like the idea
of the carcinogens taken in when smoking
cannabis. He says, there are so many
other ways to medicate.
Chris was a three time all
American in track and field, while attending
undergraduate school at University of
Arkansas and graduate school at the
University of New Mexico. His specialty
was running the 5K and 10K. He then ran
professionally post collegiately, and was
sponsored by Asics and New Balance, he
also qualified for the Olympic trials. His
running took him all over Europe and he
even traveled to Kenya to train with the
worlds best.
Chris and his business partners
Micky Corbin and Dan Lacava (also
long distance professional runners),
had to avoid the standard drug testing
procedures for athletes. Chris recalls
putting his body through extreme
stress, cleaning out and sweating out
the remnants of THC in his system from
smoking one celebratory joint after his
first win. Together they have won 40
national championships as coaches and
two while in school.
While many sport authority
agencies are lowering their testing
threshold for cannabis, Chris believes they
shouldnt even be testing for marijuana.
He said, the fact that cannabis is being
scheduled as a street drug with heroin,
methamphetamine, and cocaine, when
there are many medical benefits to
cannabis, I believe this is absurd. This is
what really needs to change. There are
many former NFL players that are coming
out saying that cannabis has helped
them with their concussions. Thats a
serious problem in the NFL, where you
have suicides and violence related to
concussions, and if cannabis can be a
start to change that, then I think the
NFL should be trying to use it, and let their
players medicate if they choose. Id like
to see more athletes and people coming
out of this closet of cannabis.
Chris goes on, Its an openness
that needs to be accepted. But I think
there needs to be people like myself need
to come out and say, Yes, I use cannabis.
It is just a flower. And I use it. So what?
In April 2014, Chris ran his last
race. When he got back he found out he
had a stress fracture on his tibia, which
was his fourth stress fracture. The sport
of running had taken him many places,
but he didnt want to risk a fifth stress
fracture and put his body through the
possibility of permanent damage which
could cripple him. He wanted to try
something new with his life, and his other
passion besides running had always been
cannabis.
Instead of going out on a
Friday nights to the bars, Chris and his
teammates would have an edible in the
evening, using it as a way to replenish their
bodies from running 100 miles per week.
When practice time came everyone else
would show up hung over from the bars
and they would be fine.
Chris, Micky and Dan have
turned the nostalgia of their competing
days into a cannabis energy bar, called
Zip Organics. Made from all organic
ingredients, infused with gourmet
espresso beans and cannabis coconut
hash oil. It was designed to be equivalent
to a cup of coffee, giving a perky effect,
unlike most edibles that a sedative effect.
Each bar contains 25 mg of THC per bar,
8 grams of protein, and 250 Calories per
bar. Chris says its great for yoga, and
lifting weights, running or hiking. The Zip
bars are available in two flavors, Sweet
Potato Date and Pumpkin Cherry. Having
just a couple bites, I feel like Im able to get
a little more zip into my work out, which is
where the name came from.

During his track days he was
in the closet about his cannabis use, to
avoid losing his scholarship. But to those
that say Oh, youre an athlete, you cant
use cannabis, Chris rebuttals with, No,
its an herb.
He has always been a supporter
of cannabis, and Chris was quick to add
that he had his mothers support, and
she influenced him with making edibles
when he was in high school. Never letting
cannabis slow him down, Chris feels like it
has always helped rejuvenate his body, in
addition to helping with his lack of hunger
being an athlete.
On his journey of connecting
fitness with cannabis, Chris believes that
the next step of legalization, is dispelling the
labels of stoners and potheads. People
from all walks of life use cannabis.
They also hope to launch a topical
pain cream line for athletes to help
rejuvenate physical injuries.

is progress for the discussion to be
underway; A true sign of the times.
The current NFL policy states that
the maximum nanograms per milliliter
(ng/mL) are 15 for marijuana. Currently
airline pilots have a maximum threshold
of 50 ng/mL. Far more shocking is the
World Doping Agency for the Olympics
has a maximum threshold of 150 ng/
mL.

LeVeon Bell, running back for the
Steelers, was arrested in August with the
suspicion of driving under the influence of
marijuana. Wes Welker, Denver Broncos,
and Josh Gordon, Cleveland Browns,
are also suspended from the game due
to the current policy in place. Medicinal
Marijuana is being cast in a negative light
for far too long. Currently there is a large
number of professional ball players who
are on suspension and/or involved in a
drug abuse program. If all goes right and
the drug policy is reformed than some of
these players can avoid suspension all
together.
Instead of punishing players for
marijuana use, the NFL might be better off
figuring out how pots medicinal benefits
can help players deal with pain, writes
Dan Graziano in an ESPN NFL article.
It does not make logical sense to hold
certain people to separate standards.
The state may have legalized medicinal
marijuana and still holding players to a
backwards and outdated way of thinking.
People sometimes fail to remember that
change is progress. When things change,
i.e. environment, thought process, and
even tolerance levels, people grow as
individuals and in return inspire others to
grow.
It has been proven that even
second hand marijuana smoke can cause
a player to test positive. This is partly
because marijuana today is far more
potent that it was, even just 20 years
ago. The new policy will allow NFL players
to have a higher ng/mL maximum. All
one can do is wait and see if the NFL
and Player Association can come to an
agreement about marijuana. Currently
there is no set deadline for an agreement
to come to a conclusion. Right now it

On October 20, 2014 the City of Brotherly Love
will also take the Crown as the largest city in the Country
to decriminalize marijuana. Councilman James Kelleys
decriminalization law passed the city council with a 13-3
vote, which was enough votes to override a potential
mayoral veto. However Mayor Michael Nutter signed
the bill September 8th, with the support of Philly cops,
community organizations, African Americans, and council
members.
The bill was introduced in May 2014 by councilman
Jim Kenney in Philadelphia. Philadelphias laws originally
state that a $200 fine and a three hour drug abuse
course were the appropriate consequences for non-violent
marijuana offenders as long as the possession amount did
not exceed that of one ounce.
The newly passed bill will allow people with no more
than thirty grams (just under an ounce) to walk away with
a $25 fine. This is comparable to that of a parking ticket
on your record. As for public consumption the fine is $100
or complete 9 hours of community service.
Mayor Michael Nutter received an enormous
amount of pressure to sign the bill from the youth in
Philadelphia, the majority of which coming from the African
American community.
This is a huge stepping stone for Philadelphia and
all Americans who are high on the love Philly has show
towards decriminalizing marijuana. On October 20th,
2014, Not only is this making history for all Americans,
but it becomes a trial run example for other large cities.
Given that this bill affects roughly a 1.6 million
population Mayor Nutter requires a three month trial
period before this bill truly takes effect. One must also
keep in mind that this bill is not in compliant with violent
marijuana crimes.
Upon further research into this bill it also has
no affect on previously convicted and/or otherwise
incarcerated individuals for similar marijuana crimes.
Annually the tax payers spend approximately $350 million
enforcing marijuana laws. It seems this may be a cost
effective way for large cities to remain solvent in these
tough financial times.

Charlo Greene, an Anchorage KTVA reporter,
dropped the F-bomb and quit on air during a KTVA 10pm
Sunday newscast September 21st, 2014.
She revealed she was the owner of Alaska
Cannabis Club, telling viewers she would be using all of
her energy to fight for legalizing marijuana in Alaska.
Greene reported on the Alaska Cannabis Club,
initially without revealing her connection to it. At the end
of the report, during a live shot, she announce that she
was the clubs owner and resigned on air.
Now everything youve heard is why I, the actual
owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all
of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness,
which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska,
she said. And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice
but, F*** it, I quit.
She then proceeded to walk off camera.
When reached post newscast, Greene said
KTVA had no idea she was going to quit, or that she was
connected to the Alaska Cannabis Club.
When commenting on why she quit in such a
dramatic way, Greene said, Because I wanted to draw
attention to this issue. And the issue is medical marijuana.
Ballot Measure 2 is a way to make medical marijuana
real... most patients didnt know the state didnt set up
the framework to get patients their medicine.
If I offended anyone, I apologize, but Im not sorry
for the choice that I made, she said.
An opposing group for marijuana legalization
stated on its Twitter page, Big Marijuana. Big Mistake.
Vote No on 2 #KTVA reporter covering ballot measure
2 loses her mind, confesses to being an owner of the
cannabis club and quits while on the air.
The Alaska Cannabis Club started in April 2014,
connecting medical marijuana cardholders with other
cardholders who are growing cannabis. They say they
hope to increase access to medical marijuana patients,
despite operating in a legal gray area within Alaskas
murky medical marijuana laws.

Marijuana is very different than it was 40 years
ago. Its much higher in THC and lower in Cannabidol, so a
little goes a very long way, said Professor Rebecca Craft,
who has spent the last several years compiling her findings
to publish. Professor Craft has been able to conduct her
research through a grant from the National Institute on
Drug Abuse and said findings were in fact published in the
journal of Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
Craft and her research team at Washington
State University currently have several research projects
underway. All of which involve the differences in behavior
under psychoactive drugs. Professor Craft states that
right now her primary research goal is to determine
how the endocrinological and neurobiological differences
between male and females may explain their differential
sensitivity to psychoactive drugs.
Intracranial Stimulation -- to examine reinforcing
effects of drugs
Drug Discrimination -- to examine interoceptive
(subjective) effects of drugs
Swim Test; Sucrose Preference; Novel Object
Conditioning -- to examine anti-depressant effects of drugs
Elevated Plus-Maze; Predator Odor Test -- to examine
anti-anxiety effects of drugs
Evoked Pain Tests (e.g., Tail Withdrawal, Paw Pressure,
von Frey, Hargreaves) -- to examine analgesia against
acute & chronic pain
Spontaneous Pain Tests (var. pain-suppressed
behaviors such as burrowing, feeding) -- to examine
analgesia against chronic pain
Spontaneous Locomotor Activity, Catalepsy Tests --
o examine motor-activating and suppressing effects of
drugs
Behavioral Observation -- to assess complex behavioral
phenomena such as opioid withdrawal
Craft expresses several unknowns going into this
experiment. For starters, the fact that most, if not all,
other research conducted on effects of marijuana have
only been done on men. Through studies at numerous
laboratories indicate that males and females are affected
differently by opioids and cannabinoids. This made me
wonder as to why. Why are men the necessary test
subjects for effects of marijuana? The reason as to why
men are the ideal test subjects is because men have a
more stable hormonal profile. Women have a hormonal
profile that fluctuates up and down throughout each
month.
There are a few reasons why men and women are
affected by marijuana differently. Most common would be
that men and women metabolize marijuana differently and
at different rates. Other speculations are that women simply
approach smoking marijuana differently than men do, which
also has an effect on the body. For insistence women tend to
first educate themselves on medical marijuana and from their
findings they proceed with a sense of caution. Also, women
tend to experience more pain over their lifetimes than men
do; example, child birth. This could be the reason why women
are prone to have a great tolerance level because they have
the body designed to deal with a significant amount of pain and
continue to operate.
Professor Rebecca Craft was unavailable for comment.
Through her website at Washington State University you can
see, in greater detail, her findings and what research she is
currently conducting. Craft states that women are 30% more
sensitive to THC than males. In addition, women also develop
a tolerance level quicker than males do. Females tend to
experience a spike in sensitivity during their ovulation as well.
Professor Craft also looked into the Munchie Effect which
is the need to eat/snack after having smoked or otherwise
consumed medical marijuana. Men are far more affected by
the Munchie Effect than women are; bright side ladies.
Another interesting conclusion provided by Craft is
the withdrawal symptoms of MMJ (Medicinal Marijuana) and
how it affects the sexes differently. The typical withdrawal
symptoms include, but are not limited to irritability, sleep
deprivation, and loss of appetite. Through Crafts research
she has come to the conclusion that women are more likely to
exhibit the withdrawal symptoms of THC than men. In addition,
Craft also concludes that women are more likely to relapse
when trying to quick.

Taboo and unusual, Foria has brought to market a
cannabis infused female lubricant for womens health and
pleasure needs. Made from coconut oil, THC and CBD oils,
If ingested orally, Foria will produce the same effects similar
to consuming an edible.
The expected effect is heightened sensation leading
up to and during orgasm, deep body euphoria and a feeling
of deep relaxation.
The recommended dosage is 4-8 sprays vaginally.
Foria was designed to be applied to the entire vulva. They
also recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes before
engaging in intimate acts.
Menopausal women have been some of their
strongest advocates, reporting that for many it helps with
dryness, loss of sensation as well as access to orgasm.
We had the females on the Edibles List team
personally tested the samples via vaginal intercourse.
What we found was that it worked very well as a lubricant
in general, and it definitely heightened sensation during and
after orgasming.
All in all we think its an extremely unique and forward
thinking product.
Check more out at www.ForiaPleasure.com
Weve seen their cool ads that insinuate their edible
will punch you in the face (see next page). We are here to
tell you that Kushy Punch definitely packs a hit.
Im sure youve all been wondering, what exactly is
a Kushy Punch?
Kushy Punch is only 30 calories. Its fruit chew
that contains 70 mg of THC (also available in 200mg THC,
and 60mg CBD). It comes strained out in hybrid, indica
and sativa, which we absolutely love. Kushy Punch is made
from an all organic cannabis infusion, unlike most other
edibles out there using butane or C02. The texture and
consistency is somewhere between a a gummy and a hard
candy. When you take the edible out of the box the Kushy
Punch is wrapped in wax paper that recommends cutting
the chew into 4 pieces for safe dosing.
We recommend consuming Kushy Punch with
extreme caution, even if you have a high tolerance to edibles.
They use a concentrated cannabis tincture for their infusion,
and while it may seem like a small medible, if you consume
the entire chew, it will surely hit you all at once later.
We found that that this particular edible seems to
affect the user about an hour or so after having consumed it,
and the effects are long lasting up to 8 hours. Kushy Punch
is great for insomnia, pain, daytime pain management (when
consumed in small doses), nausea, and mood stabilization.
You can also melt a piece of the candy into a drink or tea.
If you do happen to consume too much of any edible,
eating to slow your metabolism, and sleeping it off are the
