Dr. Courtney and his wife Kristen began juicing cannabis after experimenting with raw cannabis. For many years, Kristen struggled with systemic lupus. When her condition improved dramatically following several weeks of saturating with raw cannabis, they were convinced they had discovered a cure for chronic illness. Kristen shares, "You wouldn't consider a Diabetic addicted to Insulin. I have an Endogenous Cannabinoid Deficiency. When I drink the leaf, I feel more attentive, more awake. I can breathe better. I don't get heartburn or stomach pain, or feel muscle weakness or lower back or pelvic pain. By eating it, I am able to saturate much more so than I could. Even if I was smoking all day long, I wouldn't be able to saturate as heavily as I can juicing. I think the anti-fungal and anti-bacterial which is CBN, and the THCA and Cannabidiol are all helpful. But I think, more importantly, it is the interplay of all the cannabinoids together that causes the most benefit. That when you isolate each one and take it alone, or take it as a pure synthetic it can't have the benefits. It doesn't have the same effects that they all have together. I thought: How does everyone not know about this. I felt right then and there my focus in life had to be helping other people in my same situation to get this information to use as well."
Both Dr. Courtney and his wife share the joy of helping others with raw cannabis: "It makes you feel good when they come back, and they have stopped using something that causes GI tract bleeding or causes liver damage, pain pills and anti-inflammatory drugs. You feel like it's worth the whole struggle to get the education out there."
"Raw dietary use is the only way to get the full benefit of this plant." Juicing is considered the best process to utilize cannabis as a food, second to browsing on fresh picked buds and leaf. Browsing, 5 or 6 times a day, is recommended to address the cannabinoid serum levels clearing 45 minutes after absorbtion. Eating a flower cola, chewing the intact cannabinoid rich fibers is recommended for advanced illness or those seeking the best clinical prevention from a fresh bud.
The problem: "The throat irritation is based on the fact that the stems of cannabis have sharp little hairs" from Why the raw cannabis juicing trend may not be all it's juiced up to be -Xeni Jardin is null, according to: Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future -David Wolfe: "Hemp leaves contain a high percentage of silica and fiber. One side of the leaf is soft and the other side is abrasive, so as the leaf is eaten and the fiber moves through the body, the sides of the leaf churn through the tract, scrubbing and softly cleaning the intestines."
A wheatgrass juicer is recommended for large quantities of leaf, and a blender is best when juicing buds. Raw cannabis, not rinsed, should be stored in the refrigerator within sealed green produce bags for up to two weeks, and juice should be kept on ice in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen until needed. To prepare leaves for a juicer, soak in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Make sure the leaves are entirely clean before soaking, even if they are organically grown. Coconut oil can lubricate the leaf through the masticating herb juicers.
Plants sprayed with any pesticides shouldn't be eaten, but some pests are edible, such as spider mites.
Mature, raw bud has a higher concentration of cannabinoids than leaves (especially mature Leaf), and is an excellent method of consumption if you have the resources to make this possible. Leaf produces alternate ratios of CB's than flower, so they are best combined. Bud should be at the state where the trichomes are full present but not yet amber (i.e. cloudy); Leaf for eating or juicing should be picked from plants in the vegetative stage. Indica and Sativa leaves mature between 70-85 days, Ruderalis plants between 40-65 days. Due to the sequential appearance of cannins, the vertebrate health condition may respond better to younger plants, even halfway through maturity.
It is recommended that you dilute the acidic cannabis juice; lemons, garlic, yogurt and hemp oil and hemp milk are often in the mix. Dr. Courtney describes, "I started out with carrots. I do four in the morning, four in the afternoon, but after eating carrot juice for five or six months you begin to turn orange a little bit. I knew someone in college who actually did and so I now put in beets and broccoli. Just because Bush doesn't like it; I figure it's got to be good for you. Anything laying around, Kales (etc.)
