One of the least mentioned uses for CBD is for wound care. In a previous post I mentioned a study in the Journal of Experimental Dermatology (published May 19, 2021), where broad spectrum topical cannabinoid application had near miraculous results on otherwise untreatable leg ulcers. I’d like to expand on the properties of cannabinoids that make them a good choice for minor abrasions, insect bites, and burns. Both THC and… Read More »CBD for Wound Care

RSO can… Read More »RSO – What is Rick Simpson Oil?

The term “Full Spectrum CBD” is mentioned a lot. What does it mean, how’s it made, and how is it different from CBD isolate? Well, isolate, as I’ve talked about previously, is simply pure CBD. GW pharma sells their isolate as Epidiolex (with the blessing of the FDA) for tens of thousand dollars a year. This is a travesty, since a year’s supply of isolate on the open market is… Read More »Full spectrum: what does it mean?
