Medical cannabis is more than just the ratio of THC:CBD - the two cannabinoids that dominate what the media allows us to otherwise know about this valuable healing plant.

Digging deeper, the ratio of THC to CBD began when the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) determined that this ratio was the standardized and acceptable way to determine drug-type pot from industrial-type pot. 

Cannabis, also called marijuana, became under international control and deemed one of the most dangerous drugs, with no known medical use and with the greatest potential for abuse.

Cannabis Medicine - What You Need to Know by Ryder Management Inc. provides a history of this very valuable medicinal plant along with a description of its compounds, the plant's benefits, a review of the numerous patents on this plant's medicinal qualities, recipes, and decarbing temperatures for various methods of activating the cannabinoids.

Although the government used gas chromatography as the method for separating the cannabinoids in cannabis, recommended by the United Nations, this method, as it was later revealed, erroneously grouped the cannabinoid CBC - cannabichromene with the cannabinoid - CBD -cannabidiol - which may have given CBD unnecessary and misdirected fame for what may actually be owed to CBC.

Ryder Management Inc. has just published another Kindle  e-Book by an "indie" author.  The book is entitled "Cannabinoids and Terpenes: The Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis" and is available only at Amazon Kindle, worldwide.  

A number of passages come to mind from this book.  One in particular follows:

" CBD - cannabidiol, a cannabinoid, found in Indica,  is a 5-HT1A receptor agonist.  5-HT1A receptors are a subset of 5-HT serotonin receptors.  Effects of the 5-HT receptors that have been observed in scientific research include decreased aggression, increased sociability, decreased sociability, decreased impulsiveness, prolonged REM sleep, reversal of opioid induced respiratory depression and facilitation of sex drive and arousal.  Activation of the 5-HT1A receptors have been involved in the "mechanism of action" in certain psycho pharmacology medications including anxiolytic, antidepressants and anti-psychotic pills.  This explains how "smoking a joint" can "take the edge off".  With this information in mind, why do some from the scientific community claim that cannabis creates the very condition it helps?"


This book's description follows:


"In addition to discussing the medicinal benefits of cannabis, more specifically the cannabinoids and terpenes; this book also looks at cannabis test kits that can be used at home for identifying cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis samples. The synergy effect of cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis offer a great deal of additional benefits which is only beginning to be investigated. As patients become more educated on the full potential of cannabis preparations and with the complexities in the various compounds found in cannabis, they will become more discerning in choosing their medicine which will help increase the quality of the medication available to them and the research relating to the synergy benefits found in both cannabinoids and terpenes".
