CANNABIS USE

  • Plants, coffee, olive oil are great to stop plaque build up

  • Epidemiological studies are BS
    • Need to look at the actual cells
  • THC is the rewarding part of cannabis for health, CBD is the more meaningless part
    • People with psychotic disorders benefit from cannabis use
    • Anti-inflammatory, so this makes sense with conditions like schizophrenia
