Healing Crisis and beyond.....
I feel great! It has been about five weeks since I have been adding fresh Cannabis leaf into my diet. It was not all great in the beginning because I had fallen off of the deep end this summer. I had been traveling and there are not many healthy options along the highway and byways of America. Those burgers and fries may be easy on your wallet, but they are certainly expensive in terms of your health and wellbeing. (I know, some of you are saying, DUH, Babz!)
The best part of what happened after ingesting fresh cannabis was my 'healing crisis'. Really! If I went through it and many of you may go through it as well when you start to eat fresh Cannabis. So pay attention! After three days of eating the fresh leaf in a smoothie (about one ice cube of Cannabis in a smoothie per person), I had my healing crisis. Oh, my, it was not pretty.
A healing crisis is a response the body goes through after a treatment such as deep tissue massage or like drinking Wheatgrass or you guessed it, Cannabis. The body is responding to the treatment and as a result it can purge toxins out of the body and realign the digestive and immune response. The healing crisis can result in fatigue, insomnia, diarrhea, nausea, constipation, and fever. Oh, I forgot headache! (How could I have forgotten that headache.)
Well, I had them all. But I kept drinking the smoothie because I knew, after Googling Healing Crisis, I knew I was on the right path! So I will spare you the details of the last 4-5 weeks only to tell you that I am feeling better than I have in 10 years!
Stay tuned for my next blog post about what chronic health conditions that I overcame during these five weeks.

More coming!
From the absolutely beautiful farms in the Western Slope area of Colorado, I say Hello! It is harvest time here, and so many are busy bringing in the summers bounty. Busy, busy, busy. Experienced and inspired from my enculturation in the medical cannabis fields in California, I launch this blog dedicated to what I call Nutritional Cannabis.
Nutritional cannabis is the use of the Cannabis plant for healing, well-being and transformation. The term applies to any use of the leaf and bud in its raw form before heating. It can be juiced or as I prefer, blended in a blender with a bit of high quality water and frozen in ice cube trays for a year round nutritional supplement.
This method of ingesting the plant material is non-psychoactive and will not make you high. It might make you feel more aware and alive, but not the usual THC high. More on the THC of it all later. But warning, it may make you fail a urine analysis.
But more on this to come, I gotta get back to the field to save those fresh leaves from the compost! Contact your local cannabis farmer today to get their fan leaves from them, and start your blenders!
In peace and health,
Babz
