The
Benefits of Raw Cannabis Juice with Dr. William Courtney
By

Juicing
raw cannabis is one of the best ways a patient can relieve their debilitating
condition. Patients are becoming aware of juicing as a means to an end of their
suffering with overwhelming success rates throughout the country, if not the
world, with the help of Dr. William Courtney. His constant advocacy for: the
benefits of raw cannabis juice, actual treatments for patients with the
juicing, and continuous research have made him a household name for those
seeking an alternative to prescription drugs or smoking cannabis.
Dr.
Courtney is the founder of Cannabis International and is a Mendecino County,
California physician who has worked with over 7,000 patients. Using raw
cannabis leaves and juicing them with other fruits and vegetables not only
relieves symptoms of illness, but is great for your general health.
Dr.
Courtney explains, “The main compound in dried, aged cannabis is delta-9 THC,
which is absent in the raw, fresh leaf. In general, patients do not experience
a ‘high’ from consuming the raw product. However, other compounds in the plant,
such as the terpenes [which give cannabis it’s specific smell], may have an effect
on mood or energy levels.”
“Raw
bud has a higher concentration of cannabinoids than leaves and is an excellent
method of consumption if you have the resources to make this possible. Both are
extremely beneficial but they are best combined….Bud should be at the state
where the trichomes are fully present but not yet amber (cloudy is best).
Leaves for eating or juicing should be picked from plants well into flowering
stage.” Using raw cannabis is 200 to 400 times stronger in medicinal/dietary
beneficial properties than heating cannabis.
Dr.
Courtney explains, although juicing with raw cannabis is beneficial to patients
suffering from debilitating conditions, it may take “three days to be
appreciated. Others build for weeks. Full clinical benefits may take four to
eight weeks to take effect. It takes that long for the plant (phyto)
cannabinoids to fully saturate the body’s apidose (fat) tissue.
Phytocannabinoids are store in the fat tissue, as are the fat-soluble vitamins
A, D, E, and K.” Using a general “5 milligrams per kilogram” method, most
conditions can benefit from this alternative use.
70%
of Courtney’s patients suffer from muscle spasms, which use medicinal cannabis
juice to ease their symptoms.
Risk
potentials are to be considered for those with kidney or gallbladder issues,
patients with Hypercalciuria type 2 (calcium kidney stone disease), Enteric
Hyperoxaluria (also called Bird’s disease) or Primary hyperoxaluria (a genetic
build up of oxalates that create kidney stones and kidney damage.)
As
we are not medical physicians and are simply offering an alternative solution
based on success from Dr. Courtney, we urge you to refer to your bona fide
physician before attempting a diet plan that includes raw cannabis juicing,
making sure it best suits you and your medical condition.
The
new age of medical marijuana needs to consider strongly Dietary Cannabis. The
use of marijuana as a dietary supplement in the form of CBD-Acid and THC-Acid has been
considered and promoted from countless groups working for marijuana rights.

life on a dietary basis than this plant”
