When one puts fountain pen and ink to paper...
On this episode, Angela and Brandon reviewed an entry about “Therapeutical Uses and Toxic Effects of Cannabis Indica,” and learned that the title and the rest of the op-ed-style response in The Lancet - written by JR, better known as Sir John Russell Reynolds (personal physician for some very regal patients) let the wicked mic drop. He unequivocally states, “Indian Hemp, when pure and administered carefully, is one of the most valuable medicines that we possess.”
The list of conditions and diseases that Sir Reynolds and others like Dr. William Brook O’Shaughnessy used cannabis to treat was considerable. For hundreds of years, cannabis was used to alleviate pain and suffering and provide a safe way to help patients manage unpleasant, uncomfortable, and unbearable symptoms.
If you’re looking for more insight on why Indian Hemp was included in the Royal Gardens or just how many ailments and illnesses harnessed the power of hemp as a treatment, then this episode is a cure for your curiosity. Don’t forget to subscribe – new episodes drop on the 4th and 20th of each month. Remember, podcasts are a fun solo activity, but are sometimes even better when you tune in with a friend, especially someone in your circle that might benefit from a little nugget of cannabis history.
