From Higher Perspective, September 16, 2015

We all recognize marijuana most widely when used in a medical or recreational way. It’s worth a lot more than just getting high though. Cannabis in its raw form is still psychoactive, but you don’t get particularly high during its consumption.

Raw cannabis helps power up your immune system, has anti-inflammatory benefits, and can even improve bone density and neural function. It has also been shown in some to reduce the growth of cancer cells as well as help children with epilepsy. What can’t cannabis do?

Here’s the thing: many of those benefits are burned up when you smoke marijuana or cook it into an edible treat. When it’s eaten raw, it’s pretty much as healthy as any other vegetable.

Raw cannabis should be consumed every day, multiple times a day, and you won’t likely have any high effects whatsoever. Add it to smoothies, juices; you can even add it to salads.
