Why Watch ' Clearing the Smoke: The Science of Cannabis'? - My personal story (Sam Vekemans)

It's OK to be skeptical about things that you are unfamilar with.

I used to think that what the authorities tought in schools was true. .. I thought that Cannabis was just 'bad drugs', and that 'they ruin your life'.

But then, i took time to watch a few videos. ... this was back in December of 2012.

I also watched a few related videos. .. I think it's good to watch videos from different producers and different countries.  As this can help verify the claims made.

I also watched the film ' The Beautiful Truth'  this was back in September/October 2012 i think.

I found that video, and was receptive to it, from after having to personally pay to get a root canal.
I learned the hard way.   That the foods that i was eating.  (instant noodles) is actually very bad for me.
And i learned that simply changing my diet, and eating raw foods, i could be healthier.

What i also realized, (from after going to the Emergency room because of a toothe ache) and realizing that i didn't get a BC healthcard.  I needed to pay for the visit. .. i though i needed perscreption strength tylenol, (with codene)  but i found that actually, it's simple Ibuprophene that does the job.  And doesn't give the side effects like the codean does.
After going through the painfull process of filing a complaint to Vancouver Island Health Authority (and finding out that i didn't need to pay the bill and could just get the healthcard) and get re-imbursed.   Fortunatly now, the healthcard is combined with the BC ID.. so it's easier.  It's really DUMB that there is no walk in Office in Victoria to get a healthcard... it's all done via mail.  (happy that's changed, i think)

This expensive process, got me thinking about healthcare.    And then i went and actually listened to what Ted Smith of Hempology101 had to say with his lecture series.  .. and found out that yes, in fact, there is no reason to think that Cannabis is really as bad as was tought in school.

I learned that there is a difference between  Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis.
HEMP.  .. .



I after watching more education documentries, and doing my own research.  
I realize that 'what the 
Doctor doesn't know about 
Nutritional medicine will kill you'  is actually very true.   
I realize the difference between a '
Natural
Path 
Doctor and how this type of doctor knows how nutritional medicine works.   
And that 
Familiy doctors, only study decesies and what drugs to use for which ailment. .. rather than looking at the whole picture.   
Recommending to people to simply walk 20 mins each day. .. and change their eating habbits and sleeping habbits. .. and work as a teacher, and explain how things like taking a 1 hour nap during the day, can help to body.    

So there is alot to learn.   


But back to the point.   
I watched videos about how using the natural plant material 
(not smoking it
), and making it into a oil, actually helps people.   
I learned how the body has endocanabinoids. .... and i also learned the real truth about what caused cannabis to become a controlled substance.
