Cannabis For Dinner
Dr. William L. Courtney is a pioneering figure in the realm of medical cannabis, renowned for his advocacy of raw cannabis consumption as a vital component of human health. With a robust academic background, including a B.S. in Microbiology from the University of Michigan and an M.D. from Wayne State University, Dr. Courtney has dedicated his career to exploring the therapeutic potential of cannabis. His work emphasizes the consumption of raw, unheated cannabis to harness its full spectrum of benefits without the psychoactive effects commonly associated with traditional methods of intake.
Traditional cannabis consumption methods often involve heating, which decarboxylates cannabinoid acids like THCA and CBDA into their psychoactive counterparts, THC and CBD. Dr. Courtney's research suggests that consuming cannabis in its raw form preserves these acids, allowing for higher dosages without intoxication. He posits that these cannabinoid acids function as conditionally essential nutrients, particularly beneficial for individuals over the age of 40. By integrating raw cannabis into the diet, individuals may experience enhanced immune function, reduced inflammation, and improved cellular communication.
