Cannabis originated 28 to 34million years ago. Over the last 30 million years cannabis has converted carbon dioxide with energy from the sun into the most remarkable Nutritional Super food.
Superfoods include a category for Leafy Green Vegetables. Carbon is cycled between plants and animals by way of CO2.
Animals exhale CO2 then plants turn that CO2 back into life sustaining carbohydrates and sugars that nourish all animals and insects.
Cannabis is unique among all other Superfoods because of the complexity of nutrients it provides for both preventative and therapeutic applications. Indeed, cannabis as the corner stone of nutritional health, has collaterally evolved in lockstep with humans to provide all essential amino acids flavonoids and terpenes to all vertebrates and invertebrates.
Moreover, for thirty million years, cannabis had been consumed in its raw, non-psychoactive state. And in Greek mythology, it is believed that the Greek Titan Prometheus defied Zeus and gave the gift of fire to the humans and so they then choose to smoke, bake, sauté vape in pursuit of decarboxylating non-psychoactive nutrient THC Acid into THC.
Finally, and importantly, at the turn of the 19th century the preventive and medicinal attributes of cannabis were integrated into the National Pharmacopeia of the US in over 143 medications.
In conclusion, when we limit our use of cannabis to heated products, we inadvertently throw Nutritional Cannabis under the bus!
