HEALING TRAUMA WITH CANNABIS
One of the most powerful ways of working with cannabis is through plant medicine ceremonies. A plant medicine ceremony is a spiritual ceremony facilitated by a person who has an intimate relationship with the plan and is able to receive guidance from this plant for herself and for others. As recreational cannabis becomes legal in more and and more place, healers are able to legitimately hold ceremonies and speak publicly about them.Recently, I facilitated such ceremony in California. We opened the ceremony by smoking a hybrid flower using my ceremonial pipe. This is a special pipe tha...
GETTING STARTED WITH WEEDGETS
As a cannabis nurse and patient advocate, I’m often asked about initiating a cannabis routine for symptom management particularly for those who suffer. I recommend vaping or smoking although smoking is often unappealing due to the misnomer that smoking cannabis is bad for you. Actually, cannabis has Broncho-dilating properties and was used as an asthma treatment up until the 1940s. The reason I recommend smoking cannabis is due to its rapid onset, peaking in 10 minutes and short duration of about two hours. This allows the user to know within 5 minutes how he/she will feel and if not ...

HOW TO SMOKE CANNABIS FOR THE FIRST TIME
Some people call it marijuana. Others use cannabis, weed, or Mary Jane. But, as Shakespeare says, what’s in a name? You can call it whatever you like, and the fact would remain; the face of cannabis in our culture is going through a significant change. Not all that long ago, there were some pretty negative connotations around smoking cannabis. People called it a ‘gateway drug,’ with first-time smokers expected to turn to spiral within a year. Over the past several years, many of these ludicrous charges have been dropped, as have many of the strict laws against marijuana us...
INHALATION OF CANNABIS AND THE WEEDGETS COMPANY…WHY THEY MATTER.
As a nurse, I was an early proponent of medical cannabis but rarely endorsed products. I was and remain very busy educating the public about the benefits of this super plant, its ability to mitigate suffering and boost the human endocannabinoid system, while dispelling the stigma associated with 80+ years of prohibition. However, I am also asked for assistance with determination of dose, route and cannabinoid profile including terpines, hybrid dominance, frequency of use and potential reaction to cannabis therapeutics. I had little time to endorse or evaluate glass bongs, vaporizers, pipes,...

THE TIME IS NOW
I watched an ad with a mixture of frustration, anger, excitement and hope as the news’ is airing a segment which will report on the “Pot shops” that are “popping up” in neighborhoods all over the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and how residents are having mixed reactions about them. How quickly we forget, adult use is legal because it was voted into law by the people! Then I watch with some distain, the obligatory clips of people with no knowledge of cannabis expressing concern and worry, How do I know these people have no knowledge of cannabis? I know because i...
VAPING AND INHALATION OF CANNABIS
When asked about cannabis use, the most rapid onset for symptom control is always inhalation. I tell patients that the onset of action when inhaling cannabis is about 4 minutes, it peaks at 10 and lasts for about two hours, during which you will either continue with good relief, or begin to experience a slow increase in symptoms after about an hour, which will prompt you to inhale again. For a more lasting experience especially at bedtime, inhale your cannabis and take an edible at about the same time or shortly thereafter. The effects of the inhaled cannabis will begin to wane just about t...
