How Can We Help?
Cannabis & the Pharmaceutical Industry
- At least 100,000 people die each year from prescription drugs according to the US government. 0 from cannabis.
- CBD oil has no withdrawal symptoms or no addictive properties that many painkillers do.
Cannabis VS Pharmaceutical Drugs
The pharmaceutical industry is obviously aware of this and are producing synthetic, trademarked cannabinoids which might look like an attractive option, don’t have the cannabinoid synergy affect and health benefits that simple plant extracts do.
In New Zealand one can get a prescription for Sativex which is CBD and THC actually from the cannabis plant. This is probably one of the best pharmaceutical options but has a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC, not something one would find in a natural cannabis oil extract or hemp CBD. It is all the cannabinoids working together which makes cannabis so good, and the reason why it has been grown and consumed for thousands of years.

CBD oil is one of many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant but is emerging as the most therapeutic with a growing number of health benefits.
Where does CBD oil come from?
CBD or cannabidiol is one of the most abundant cannabinoids created by the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, its psychoactive counterpart, CBD has no intoxicating affect and is known for it’s vast range of health benefits. Typically, CBD comes in an oil form, extracted from the resin on the bud of the cannabis plant and consumed as drops or vaporised. However with different names like cannabis, hemp, and marijuana, there is often confused as to where CBD oil generally comes from.
Treating IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s with CBD Oil
CBD oil is rapidly claiming some fame as a “cure-all” miracle supplement. This is not quite factual, the claim to fame is but being the answer to all medical conditions and curing them is not. CBD has a variety of health and medical benefits, some proven scientifically, and others still being tested.
