Northern Lights


Overview:

Northern Lights has been a popular strain for decades, being one of the purest indicas on the market. While it is believed that Seattle was the originator of the strain, it was not found until Sensei Seeds in Holland began marketing it in 1985. The body-numbing strain is known for its enticing sweet and spicy smell and flavor, as well as the deep relaxation that it evokes. It flowers in approximately forty-seven days, making Northern Lights one of the faster-growing indicas available. It is responsible for parenting some of the greatest strains in the world, including Shiva Skunk, Sour Diesel, and even Super Silver Haze. Due to its relaxing nature, Northern Lights is best used at night or as a cure for insomnia. If you are a patient due to chronic pain, the strain and its curative properties may be the perfect fit for you.

Cannabinoids and Neuropathic Pain Relief - How Cannabis Works on Neuropathy

Some human trials to test if cannabis is effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain have been executed. Very similar to the result of animal studies, it was found that THC suppresses pain successfully. It was also found, just as with the animal models, that when cannabinoids are taken together with opioids like morphine, the effect is stronger. The positive outcome is that patients that relied fully on morphine, could reduce the dosage significantly. Patients under constant neuropathic pain have trouble sleeping as well. Cannabis also helped with that problem. A combination of CBD and THC also reduced muscle spasms. When THC is taken together with CBD in an equal ratio, the psychotropic effects of THC.

Growing Weed in the UK - Why is It So Hard to Get a Cultivation License in England?

Another round of bad news on this issue would be that the cultivation of cannabis in the UK is also considered illegal except if you're licensed to do so. Under the 1979 Misuse of Drugs Act, the cultivation of any cannabis strain regardless of the THC percentage it contains is illegal in the UK.

Is Medical Marijuana an Effective Treatment for Essential Thrombocythemia?

CBD or cannabidiol is a naturally occurring chemical compound in the cannabis plant. Our endocannabinoid system with its different receptors is found all over the body. The main function of the system is to regulate physiological processes, including the immune system. Cannabis has anticoagulant properties and can act as a blood thinner. It is vitally important though, if a person is already on blood thinners, to study up on how to include cannabis as part of the treatment. Cannabis directly affects the way blood platelets clot together. CBD specifically seems to block the metabolism of certain medications in the liver by affecting the cytochrome P450 enzymes.
