of course, the shake is all from concentrated THC strains, I would imagine, which breeds out CBD.

The thing about such an oil, for medical purposes, it that both strains can be combined for maximum benefit of both compounds - because both have health functions and they work together.

this is an interesting time in history to be alive, as this is a major paradigm shift as decades of populist work has laid the groundwork for scientific work - and undermined the drug warriors' hysteria of the last century.

Seventy years of propaganda, undone by twenty years of free access to information via the internet and the first passage of medical marijuana laws.

I hope I live to see this nation become less and less reactionary about a host of issues. That is a good goal.
