" However, raw cannabis is loaded with THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinol acid), which must first be converted into THC by heat exposure before it will cause psychoactive effects. Consuming THCA can have a wide array of health benefits, from stopping seizures to helping fight cancer. Additionally, cannabis is a complete protein loaded with Omega 3’s and 6’s. The best part is that you can juice the fan leaves, meaning the parts of the plant that gardeners have been either throwing away or donating to their compost could be helping patients directly."
I came across this while looking for cannabis recipes on The Stoner's Cookbook and it caught my attention enough to do some further digging. I came across this study that found a direct correlation between THCA and slowed growth of breast cancer cells. I'm no scientist but I believe a logical step from there would be that the molecule most likely has similar effects on other types of cancerous cells. I just want to open up a conversation here, maybe share past experiences or do some collective research on the lesser known effects of plant material.
