Marijuana in the Raw
With Flowers
Frequent Photo
Recently, I’ve read a study about eating small marijuana leaves fresh and raw. This is supposed to stimulate our bodies own cannabinoids. Now I can’t find it or any other information except a few allusions in comments by a Dr. Chandler in Mendocino.
I would so much appreciate more information if anyone knows where to find it–preferably scientific studies. Thanks.

Kym…this topic caught my eye in the articles by Dr. Ted Courtney in the New Settler this past year. If you don’t have those, send me your PO Box and I will photocopy or pass on an extra. One tidbit of possible interest that I remember from those article was the discovery that there is a cannibanoid peak at a certain age of the marijuana sprout. You remember that it is the male leaves that have the most anti-inflammatory property? I will double check that one from his articles.
Thank you! This is what I was hoping for.

Are those nasturtiums in the background? You can eat their leaves and flowers, too.

Use a wheat grass juicer. 1/2 oz of juiced leaf is a good hit.
I read the interview with Dr. Courtney and was very excited by it, but I couldn’t find basic instructions on how to juice the leaves. I want to try this for an incurable, degenerative disease.
When he says “leaves” does he mean any leaves off the plant? Or is it specific leaves, like ones near the top where the flower is? And does it matter how old the plant is? Does it matter if it’s in bloom or veg?
Any help is much appreciated.
I’m stilling trying to parse this out. I understand that chopping the leaves very fine (a la making pesto) in a food processor and then consuming in other raw foods such as juice or salad is the way to go.
Juice freshly picked leaves with a wheatgrass juicer.
Yeas juicing th young leaves is really good, but make sure you know of ther origin, so soak overnight in a light vinegar base to remove any sprays, (unless you know for sure that they are organic with only organic sprays for pest control), then rinse before juicing, you might want to add a carrot or an apple, the green juice is pretty strong,

Don’t have much information about this, but in Peru we used to chew Coca leaves and drink Coca tea. The concentration of the unrefined coca is meaningless from a drug standpoint, but the tea is supposed to help with tiredness and altitude sickness. I am not sure if I imagined the effects though. I may have had to chew more leaves to feel anything, but I can imagine that the effects of Cannabis leaves may be somewhat similar.

When the world runs out of beer, I’ll worry about such mundane things.
My sister pickles green nasturtium seeds and uses them as capers, but she says that you can’t get high on them.

Those are nasturtiums. I have some myself that haven’t flowered yet. I love to put the flowers into salads–I like the spicy leaves, too, but my kids don’t.
The raw cannabis isn’t for a high. It is supposed to have medicinal qualities without producing a high which is what I am looking for. Someone close to me is interested in the possibilities for their medical condition.
The main benefit of Cannabis leaves is as an anti inflammatory according to Courtney. The wheat grass juicer sounds like a good idea. Our beloved Government has patented CBD according to someone or other. Courtney does (or did) have office hours in Garberville. He is a knowledgeable and committed advocate for Cannabis.

Are we talking about marijuana sprouts like bean sprouts at the co-op? That would be an awesome market for organic farmers.

Yes Bill, Dr. Ted Courtney loves the lesser know constituents of Marijuana, and somewhere in either issue 142 or 146 of the New Settler he made a remark about one of the CBD’s peaking in the sprout at a certain age. I just saw an ad in the NCJ for appts up north or in garberville, boy if I was an article writeress…I sure would want to interview him…….
My favorite quote from issue 146, which is a quote from the winter/spring 2008 issue of Fred Gardner’s clinical journal, “O’Shaughnessy’s ‘Hedonic tone’: ‘Maintaining a “hedonic tone” via a functional endocannabinoid system may be critical for maintaining personal optomism and society productivity in the face of chronic stress and an ultimately unrewarding consumer culture”.
Hedonic toning sounds good to me!

Kym,
This is a great place “school” and they have so much info. One class is called Cooking/Concentrates 101.

I’ve heard about the school. I haven’t been able to find anything about cannabanoid receptors and raw marijuana there though.

I didn’t know about the antinflammatory properties of marijuana…. interesting

I vaporise my herbal remedies at different temperatures hoping to extract some of the flavanoids and vitamins. Often, I will extract these compounds at a shade under 200F and save the remaining herb for further extraction when I have a few hours with nothing to do. I have been curious as to the potency of different varieties for aromatherapy. Maybe this Courtney fellow knows.
I stopped using pyrolysis for herbal extractions a few years ago and do not miss the charred urine taste or smell. I feel sorry for those who have to burn their herbal remedies due of the high price of precision vaporisation instruments.

I’m slowly learning so much but not enough to tell you if that is Master Kush or some other strain. I would have to ask the owner.

I knew a woman who swore that eating fresh marijuana leaf gave her much relief during mentsruration than ibuprofen, and without the upset stomach many people get from taking OTC medications. Supposedly fresh marijuana leaf (without sticky thc if possible) has amazing anti-inflammatory properties. If you have access to such vegetation, try it!

Olmanriver sent me some New Settlers with interviews with Dr Courtney. He says something similar.

Hi Kym –
Any chance these articles are available online? I’ve been searching and couldn’t find more specifics. I am also interested in exploring the medicinal properties in a raw form.

I have not found them anywhere and I have been searching for anything about the properties of raw weed. If you find something, please point me to it. Someone close to me could possibly benefit.

Politicians are 10 years behind the times when it comes to hemp use. People have been fighting for a long time against marijuana and pot prohibition with some movement going on now. Still too slow for those caught up in the jail system for possessing a little weed. Our freedoms have been trampled on by folks who know nothing about how beautiful cannabis can be for someones life, if one learns how to grow cannabis. Keep up the good work.

Raw Cannabis is one of the most nutritious leafy greens you can eat. It has the largest clorophyll content also loaded in highest amount of antioxidents including thc. I make green smoothies, salads using fresh buds and greens never gotten stoned. It is super food containing all the essential amino acids, absolutely every thing the body needs. The human brain also has thc receptors very unique, tells me that were biologically designed to eat cannabis. Hemp is also high in tryptophan wich in its raw state is essential for the production of seretonin in the brain. Antidepresents mimc tryptophan which in its raw uncooked state is extremely lacking in most peoples diets.
I love the weed it tastes delicous.
Duston, Thanks for weighing in on this. I’m looking for more information about quantities to eat, etc.

The latest issue of the New Settler has the most up to date info on eating leaves from Dr. Ted Courtney. He tells when the sun leaves are at their peak of CBD’s, and how much to eat.
Thank you. I was going to pick that up today and I forgot.

We just watched a documentary (can’t remember the name) on Hemp. There was a guy in the midwest (total redneck) who’s family used to grow hemp. He was talking about making a meal out of seeds for horse and cow feed. There were several people who had been feeding it to their horses that said the horses did very well and lasted much longer on trail rides while working the cattle. It seems that seeds are a great source of nutrition not only for people but for livestock as well.
I’ve heard that too.

Back about 15 years ago a friend of mine that was sellilng hemp clothing (bringing the fabric in from China for manufacture here) was also bringing in 2lb bags of non-fertile seeds. I got a bag and was using them in salads and stuff, grinding them up as a flour substitute….they were great in breads, I don’t know if I gained anything nutritionally…but they were good. He is now locked up for life on “conspiracy” charges so I lost that deal………but wouldn’t mind finding another supplier of seeds for food.
I think they’re called hemp hearts and they are very nutritional. Look them up 😊. I don’t know if they’re called weed hearts for the marijuana lol 🤷

Have you checked online? I’ve seen viable seeds for sale.
