Sanjay Gupta Goes To Israeli Labs For Breaking Research

  As the rest of the world continues to debate the benefits of cannabis and an increasing number of countries pass legislation to make it legal for medicinal and scientific purposes, it is inevitable that more research will be undertaken to determine the effectiveness of cannabis-based medicines in treating even more conditions, from every day illness to chronic diseases.

  Meanwhile, Israel has been quietly turning itself into a world-leading center with its own medical marijuana research programme. Described by Dr. Sanjay Gupta as ‘the marijuana research capital of the world’, Israel has been conducting research into marijuana since the 1960s and is home to the world’s largest medical marijuana production, research and development facility.

  The man widely regarded as the grandfather of medical marijuana research, is Raphael Mechoulam, a professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem who was the first to isolate, analyze and synthesize the major psychoactive and non-psychoactive compounds in cannabis, and develop a number of marijuana-related treatments.

A HIGHER CALLING: HOW ISRAELI MARIJUANA RESEARCH CHANGED THE WORLD

“The problem is that for many years, marijuana was put on the [same] scale as cocaine and morphine.”

As much of the world debates how to address marijuana use, the vast majority of American states have legalized it or allow it for medical purposes. Global pharmaceutical companies and hospitals seeking effective treatments using cannabis should look to Professor Raphael Mechoulam, a scientist at Hebrew University. Mechoulam, a pioneer in the field, was the first to isolate, analyze and synthesize the major psychoactive and non-psychoactive compounds in cannabis and has developed a number of revolutionary marijuana-related treatments.

Today, roughly 147 million people use medical marijuana for effective relief of various ailments, including AIDS, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, cancer treatment side effects and Parkinson’s. Experts believe these numbers will grow exponentially in the coming years, and Mechoulam is now widely recognized as the godfather of medical marijuana, the high priest of his field.

How Cannabinoids Cause Cancer Cells to Die

This is an edited interview of Dennis Hill and Ava Marie from her Spiral Up show. This video was created to demonstrate a possible edit of the footage.

Dennis Hill is a Biochemist and is a cancer survivor. Dennis's cancer was not treated with any of the established treatments (i.e. chemo or radiation). He treated his cancer with cannabis oil alone. You can read about his conclusions about how cannabis oil and cannabinoids cause cancer cells to die on his website.

Tourette's Syndome Entirely Halted With Cannabis

Billy needs 10 joints per day to get his extreme tics underneath

The fact that cannabis is an active medicine for many diseases is now certain. But the effect of this medicine is rarely proven as hard as with this video by Billy Wieschollek. He suffers - and not too little - from the Tourette syndrome. Because of his gigantic violent tics he can hardly do anything ... until he smokes cannabis! The metamorphosis is incredible, look yourself. The tragedy is also that Billy is a German young man and that medicinal weed in that country is still mostly illegal children's shoes ...

The muscles of Billy shoot so quickly and so violently in spasms that a normal life is impossible. In the video you see what happens when he wants to make a cup of coffee or eat a croissant. It is sometimes quite funny to see, but of course deeply sad. But fortunately there is one medicine that turns this impossible life of Billy into 180 degrees: cannabis!

Tourette's Syndrome Responds To CBD Oil

The Tourette syndrome is a neuro-psychiatric disorder that is characterized by tics. These are uncontrolled, sudden, fast, recurring, non-rhythmic movements or sound. The active substances in cannabis can reduce tics or even stop them altogether. Tyler tells how that has worked out for him.

Tyler has been using CBD oil for a few months against Tourette's symptoms. He has tried different things and during his search for enlightenment Tyler heard from a friend about CBD. Unfortunately, he is not completely freed from the tics. But perhaps that has to do with the fact that he only uses CBD and not a cannabis product with all cannabinoids, such as the well-known German Tourette patient Billy .
