RE: I am a Recreational Marijuana Marketer Working in Seattle's Legal Cannabis Industry since the begining, Ask Me Anything! #AMA
What are the benefits of marijuana sans thc? I know some people prefer to not have the feeling of being high but still want the benefit of this medicinal plant. And what would be your best argument to swing people to support legalizing marijuana? And finally is there any sort of test that can be done similar to a sobriety test that can help people know what their thc content is so that people could be prosecuted from irresponsibly operating vehicles under the influence? I'm pro marijuana but feel a few checks and balances need to be in place before it will be possible to legalize it in my home state of NY.
Marijuana has far more cannabinoids in it than just THC, take CBD for example, arguably the second most popular cannabinoid; CBD is a pain relief at its finest, i would even go so far as to say CBD is more healthy and useful for you than aspirin, without the downsides. I have used CBD oil infused lotions many times on my torn MCL and during recovering it made most of the pain not bother me usually without taking a single pill. Here is some further literature on it: http://www.leafscience.com/2014/02/23/5-must-know-facts-cannabidiol-cbd/
Don't even get me started out how horrible all these pills are for people, I have had MANY patients/customers who quite literally sell their pills from the doctor and turn around and purchase cannabis and/or cannabis oils with the money.
