How CBD Oil Has Changed My Life. Top Story - June 2018.
Many people have finally started to become wise to the fact that, as humans living in the United States, our government does not truly have our best interest at heart. Our healthcare system is a giant mess no matter how you look at it. A vast majority of this country's idea of healthcare is to charge the average citizen more than they make in a year just to get medical care during an emergency. We are given drugs (often costing more than most people make in a month) that tend to merely mask our symptoms (assuming they actually work) and come with horrific side effects more often than not. At least some of these drugs are also highly addictive. Another increasingly common "cure" is simply telling patients that, no matter what your problem is or what size you are, that you should simply lose weight...because that always makes everything better, right? Reality check...WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

5 Reasons I Decided to Discuss My Marijuana Use with My Daughter
Recently, I decided to sit down with my 10 (now 11) daughter and discuss with her the possibility of my switching from painkillers to marijuana. I felt it was important for her to know and be aware of, since I was looking into consumables, such as candies, sodas and liquid. I didn't want her to come into my room, see it and eat it. So I explained it to her. She was really excited that I let her in on this and explained to her the negative effects I was feeling from being on extreme dosages of painkillers. There were several other reasons I decided to do this as well.

Not everyone's body works the same, so the following things on this list are not a guaranteed side effect. Here are 10 differences I have noticed in myself and my body since I switched from painkillers to marijuana.

Medical Marijuana Vs Alzheimer's
What is Alzheimer's disease? Alzheimer's disease is a mental deterioration in seniors that causes severe memory loss. How is the brain affected? Well, a normal brain will slowly shrink with aging. Yet, neurons will not die off in large numbers. During Alzheimer's, the chemical and electrical communication between neurons in the brain are grossly distorted. This results in the death of cells. The hippocampus portion of the brain is in charge of making new memories. However, when Alzheimer's takes over, this area of the brain is exceptionally vulnerable. The hippocampus will begin to shrink up. Dementia Care Central explains this process, "Picture a large city with all its lights on. Each home, street, and shopping center has its own light switch... Now imagine that a problem occurs with the wiring or circuits... Each home, street, and shopping center gradually loses power and the people are unable to carry on as normal. It eventually becomes harder to cook dinner, drive through the city, and do business in stores." This anecdote shows the strain it would take for someone with dementia to constantly perform daily tasks without fail when all of the circuits are frayed. Ever hear the phrase "lights are on but nobody's home?" Yep, that has also been used to describe dementia.
