Weed is a very complicated plant. Join Michele as she learns about major Cannabinoids in the Cannabis plant and their effects.

The most notable cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another major part of the plant that is non-psychotropic. It will not give you a high and has anti-inflammatory properties. THC is also good for pained and nausea.

Michele explores different products, their effects, and how they are delivered into your body. This episode features three medical cannabis companies from the conference.

Listen in to learn about topicals, edibles, and drinkable cannabis-infused products.

Michele spoke with Canadian Chiropractor, Dr.Andrew Kerklaan who recently launched a line of Cannabis -infused Topicals for Pain Relief, PMS, Skincare and Sleep. Cannabis extracts containing THC and CBD can deliver fast-acting long lasting relief. "Cannabis can have a very positive effect on our health. Topicals don't get into your blood stream."

Be responsible when taking medical cannabis. Go slowly with edibles. Try half of the recommended amount, wait a couple of hours to see how you feel. The same goes with drinks and tinctures. Always check with your doctor first if you are going to use cannabis instead of opiate drugs before or after any plastic surgery.
