Cannabis as Medicine: The Chemistry of Cannabis

The Aware Project (www.awareproject.org) hosts a series of monthly Psychedelic Awareness Salon events in Southern California. We are creating a connected and educated community that feels passionately about balancing the conversation about psychedelics. SCHEDULE Doors open at 7:00 PM for drinks and mingling. Presentation will begin at 8:00 PM. DESCRIPTION Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, Addiction, Pain, PTSD, Cancer, and over 200 different conditions have been effectively treated with cannabis. How is it possible that a single plant can have such wide ranging efficacy? The answer lies in the physiology of our own body. You could say using cannabis as medicine is part of our genetic makeup, that it's in our DNA! During this talk we will explore researchers' current understanding of the endocannabinoid system and how cannabis effects our bodies on a cellular level. BIO Ryan is a cannabis consultant and educator. He helps patients understand how cannabis works and how to find the most appropriate dosing and products for their unique life circumstances. Ryan is a member of Cannabis Healing Solutions, a collective dedicated to building community with cannabis through education, workshops, support groups, healing arts, and providing access to clean, safe cannabis medicine TICKETS Please register for tickets online before arriving. $15 pre-sale and $20 at the door at the door.

'Substance is a healing lyricist & vision catalyst, immerse yourself in her subconscious rhymes.' "​i'm a loving human ... who knows the sensation of disconnection, and who has learned to embrace shadows ... i feel spectrums of emotion so deeply that it has shifted how i relate - in the most enriching ways... ​in this journey riddled with lessons, i follow ​the​ calling to share lyricism intended to encourage self discovery, self expression, and self actualization ... ​​stories of all that brought me back to my essence ... in service to the expanding emergence of each of us shining aligned with our truest nature..." -substance intentionamplified.com/abundant-substance https://www.facebook.com/abundantsubstancemusic/' IMPORTANT NOTICE: This group is being designed as a secure space.
