Medical cannabis is known to offer relief from anxiety, insomnia, pain, and more.
Marijuana’s gone mainstream, and today 61% of Americans support the legalization of medical cannabis.
Raw Cannabis: Nature’s Perfect Superfood

Did you know that there’s evidence that raw cannabis also contains an abundance of its own benefits?
It should come as no surprise that with all the benefits cannabis contains, as well as the way it works in harmony with the endocannabinoid system, that several experts believe cannabis should be considered to be just as powerful of a superfood as other greens like kale, spinach, blueberries, and broccoli.
What exactly is a “superfood?” MacMillan Dictionary describes a superfood as a food that is “considered to be very good for your health and that may even help improve some medical conditions.”
They’re the foods full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that allow health to thrive…and raw cannabis happens to contain a plethora of these nutrients.
Cannabis leaves contain magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, and fiber.
They are rich in polyphenols, an antioxidant famous for its effects on aging skin.
Raw cannabis is also full of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and full of digestible globular proteins.
What are the Benefits of Consuming Raw Cannabis?

Dr. William L. Courtney is a leading expert in raw cannabis and believes that the raw version activates the endocannabinoid system more effectively than when it is dried, cured, and combusted.
There are several compounds found in raw cannabis that make it one of the most potent “superfoods” you can find.
Essential Cannabinoids
There are two main cannabinoids in raw cannabis, namely THCA and CBDA.
The “A” at the end of these two well-known cannabinoids stands for “acid” and indicates that the cannabinoids are in their non-psychoactive, acidic state.
In order to experience the high associated with cannabis, THCA must be heated to convert to THC.
If you don’t heat cannabis, you can’t get high.
Research indicates that THCA and CBDA both contain powerful healing properties that have shown to be beneficial for some serious medical conditions.
While the exploration of these non-psychoactive cannabinoids found in raw cannabis need to be further explored, preliminary research has shown some amazing potential health benefits.
THCA (TETRAHYDROCANNABINOLIC ACID)
THCA is essentially the precursor to well-known, psychoactive THC. THCA doesn’t convert into THC, however, until it begins to dry.
In order to truly feel the psychoactive effects of THC, it must go through another process known as decarboxylation (what happens when dry cannabis is heated up to be smoked or vaporized).
Some of the potential health benefits associated with non-psychoactive THCA include:
