The MCAA is a organization striving to make first and foremost Medical Cannabis available to the public, but as well to make the Information readily accessible, As we put to much blind faith in Our professionals. There has been many miss-information campaign's about Cannabis, Hemp, The Oil Extract, THC & CBD. With a ever growing list of ailments the Cannabis plant treats, and disease's running ramped, it is increasingly more pertinent for humanity(the public to expand there knowledge base).
The Cannabis Plant, Hemp Plant, there seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life and much more. No other single plant source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs. The importance of hemp seed nutrients to human health cannot be fully appreciated without some understanding of bio-chemistry in life. Unfortunately, any attempt to understand the flow of life leads into the realm of the most troublesome of the three infinities -- the infinitely complex.
Some deep thinkers believe life is a paradox not to be understood but experienced to the fullest. However, the Sages have said, "Know thyself." At any rate it is paradoxic to attempt simplifying the infinite complexity of flowing life. Yet, it is far better for the health and development of any thinking and feeling, uniquely individual human being, to pursue knowledge than to lounge in ignorance.
One out of two Americans will die from the effects of cardiovascular disease (CVD). One out of four Americans will die from cancer. Researchers believe cancers erupt when immune system response is weakened. Pioneers in the fields of biochemistry and human nutrition now believe CVD and most cancers are really diseases of fatty degeneration caused by the continued over-consumption of saturated fats and refined vegetable oils that turn essential fatty acids into carcinogenic killers. And if this is not scary enough, more Americans are succumbing to immune deficiency diseases than ever before. Sadly it is ignorance of human nutritional needs that will cause this overwhelming majority of people to die slowly from these afflictions & more when cannabis not only can treat but prevent.

Cannabis/Hemp Facts
Cannabis/Hemp, THC/CBD, Sativa/Indica/Ruderails/Hybrids, Male/Female.
Setting things straight
Whether Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis, male, female, hermaphrodite, native, feral, bred for fiber, seeds or medicinal resin, every part, piece, or family type, breed or species there is little difference, the beauty of the Cannabis plant is exactly that. The molecules of the Cannabis plant are life supporting and with the range of the plant, there is a combination of the molecular structure for your need/purpose. Hemp for example is claimed to have no THC or next too. Hemp does contains delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive ingredient found in hashish/Cannabis. THC is present in all hemp varieties to some extent. In varieties grown for use as a drug, where males are removed in order to prevent fertilization, THC levels in the Hemp plant can reach as high as 20-30% in the unfertilized females which are given ample room to flower.
Cannabis has long been used for hemp fibre, for hemp oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. Industrial hemp products are made from cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber. To satisfy the UN Narcotics Convention, some cannabis strains have been bred to produce minimal levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent. Many plants have been selectively bred to produce a maximum of THC (cannabinoids), which is obtained by curing the flowers. Various compounds, including hashish and hash oil, are extracted from the plant. Wikipedia

The Science of Cannabis The Endocannabiniod System
Cannabis has been used for thousands of years, both recreationally and medically. People all over the world know the effects of cannabis, yet until 20 years ago, no one knew how it worked within our bodies. In the early 1990s, research scientists identified a system they named "the endocannabinoid system”. This system is located in our |
A Concentrated Burst
What is Cannabis Oil? Cannabis oil is merely the concentrated, distilled form of the plant most commonly known as marijuana, with all the plant material stripped away via a solvent, leaving only the medicine. Solvent Definition: A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid. The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature. The Solvent & temperature also dictate the purity/concentration of solute, eg. how many fillers mad it through the extraction. Though it’s also used with other oils to whip up an assortment of edible pot-infused treats, cannabis oil has achieved the most notoriety for its possible medicinal uses. Like marijuana, cannabis oil contains two primary ingredients: the high-inducing THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and cannabidiol (CBD), the second most active ingredient in marijuana. Typically, oil brands marketed for medicinal uses contain much less THC than your average joint but both ingredients have been touted for their curative powers. |
On October 16, the Toronto Stock Exchange announced, that any cannabis-related companies violating US federal cannabis laws might be “delisted” from the exchange.

brains and bodies. The system is made up of cell receptors and of the chemicals that bind to these receptors. This system has been identified in the some of the most primitive creatures on earth. It has been found to be the most widespread receptor system in the human body, explaining why cannabis has so many different effects. The endocannabinoid system appears to regulate many important physiologic pathways in the human body, including gastrointestinal activity, cardiovascular activity, pain perception, maintenance of bone mass, protection of neurons, hormonal regulation, metabolism control, immune function, inflammatory reactions, and inhibition of tumors cells.
The cannabinoid receptor system has two kinds of receptors:
|
• CB1 receptors – found mostly in the brain, spinal cord and other parts of the body including the heart, uterus, testis, liver, small intestine and peripheral cells
• CB2 receptors – found mostly on cells of the immune system, including the spleen, T-cells, B-cells and macrophages
A group of compounds, called cannabinoids, bind to the receptors. Cannabinoids come from three different places:
• Endocannabinoids – these are produced by the body on demand, usually in tesponse to injury; five different endocannabinoids have been identified, including anandamide and 2-AG
• Synthetic cannabinoids – these are produced by scientists in a laboratory and include dronabinol (Marinol) and nabilone (Cesamet)
• Phytocannabinoids – these are produced by the cannabis plant; there are over 85 cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, including THC and cannabidiol as the main two.
• CB2 receptors – found mostly on cells of the immune system, including the spleen, T-cells, B-cells and macrophages

The cannabinoids interact with the receptors, much like a lock and key. The receptor is the lock and the cannabinoid molecule is the key. When the cannabinoid "key” attaches to the receptor "lock” (located in the cell wall), a reaction is triggered resulting in an effect on the brain and body. For instance, the area of the brain that controls memories is called the amygdala. When cannabinoids bind to the receptors on the cells of the amygdala, memory is affected. For those that suffer from past traumatic events who relive horrible memories (such as those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), the triggering of the cannabinoid receptor appears to change the brain function and memories are minimized.

~ How they found & verified the bodies Cannabiniod Receptors & the different types ~
A study using weakly radioactive THC-like synthetic drugs investigated where the human cannabinoid receptors were located. When people were given this radioactive drug and their brains were scanned, CB1 receptors were found all over the brain. The results showed that cannabinoid receptor binding sites in the human brain are localized mainly in: the forebrain areas associated with higher cognitive functions; the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain areas associated with the control of movement; and in hindbrain areas associated with the control of motor and sensory functions of the autonomic nervous system. This is consistent with the fact that cannabis has many different effects on mental function. Read More: A Complete Break Down of the Endocannabiniod System |

Science of Cannabis molecules
Understanding the Molecular Aspects of Tetrahydrocannabinol and Cannabidiol as Antioxidants "THC & CBD's as Antioxidants" The discovery of endocannabinoids as pain modulators has opened new mechanistic perspectives [1]. The endogenous ligands of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, mainly metabolized by the fatty acid amide hydrolase and the monoacylglycerol lipase, induce antinociceptive effects [2,3]. Similarly, the activation of the lipase by exogenous ligands of cannabinoid receptors, particularly CB1, induces antinociception in various acute pain tests in rodents [2,4,5], but also in several animal models of chronic pain [6]. Moreover, the combination of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) (Figure 1) is proposed in the treatment of pain for patients with multiple sclerosis [7]. |

News: National Cancer Institute
Cannabis kills cancerNEWS: The National Cancer Institute has stated that cannabis kills cancer cells.
On 16 July 2015, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) updated the FAQ on their web site, Cancer.gov, to include a statement about cannabis and its effect upon cancer cells: "Cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory." And Despite there own statement, Still they say there's not enough clinical studies or research to proceed. |
The Journal of Clinical Investigations
THC Cures Brain Caner
Surprise THC: A Miracle Medicine Laboratory tests conducted in 2008 by a team of scientists formed as a joint research effort between Spain, France and Italy, and published in The Journal Of Clinical Investigation, showed that the active ingredient in marijuana, known as tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, can function as a cure for brain cancer by inducing human glioma cell death through stimulation of autophagy. The study concluded that via the same biochemical process THC could terminate multiple types of cancers, affecting various cells in the body. Other studies have shown that cannabinoids may work by various mechanisms, including inhibiting cell growth, inducing cell death, and inhibiting tumor metastasis. What is amazing is that while cannabinoids effectively target and kill cancerous cells, they do not affect healthy, normal cells and may actually protect them against cellular death. |

~ The Cannabis Plant ~
Cannabis (/ˈkænəbɪs/) is a genus of flowering plant in the family Cannabaceae. The number of species within the genus is disputed. Three species may be recognized: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis; C. ruderalis may be included within C. sativa; or all three may be treated as subspecies of a single species, C. sativa.[2][3][4][1] The genus is indigenous to central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. The plant is believed to have originated in the mountainous regions northwest of the Himalayas.[citation needed] It is also known as hemp, although this term is often used to refer only to varieties of Cannabis cultivated for non-drug use.
Reproduction
Cannabis normally has imperfect flowers, with staminate "male" and pistillate "female" flowers occurring on separate plants.[11] It is not unusual, however, for individual plants to bear both male and female flowers.[12] Although monoecious plants are often referred to as "hermaphrodites", true hermaphrodites (which are less common) bear staminate and pistillate structures together on individual flowers, whereas monoecious plants bear male and female flowers at different locations on the same plant. Male flowers are normally borne on loose panicles, and female flowers are borne on racemes. "At a very early period the Chinese recognized the Cannabis plant as dioecious", and the (c. 3rd century BCE) Erya dictionary defined xi 枲 "male Cannabis" and fu 莩 (or ju 苴) "female Cannabis".
All known strains of Cannabis are wind-pollinated and the fruit is an achene. Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants, with the possible exception of C. sativa subsp. sativa var. spontanea (= C. ruderalis), which is commonly described as "auto-flowering" and may be day-neutral.

Biochemistry and drugs
Cannabis plants produce a group of chemicals called cannabinoids, which produce mental and physical effects when consumed.
Cannabinoids, terpenoids, and other compounds are secreted by glandular trichomes that occur most abundantly on the floral calyxes and bracts of female plants.[18] As a drug it usually comes in the form of dried flower buds (marijuana), resin (hashish), or various extracts collectively known as hashish oil.[6] In the early 20th century, it became illegal in most of the world to cultivate or possess Cannabis for sale or personal use. There are 483 identifiable chemical constituents known to exist in the cannabis plant,[25] and at least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the plant.[26] The two cannabinoids usually produced in greatest abundance are cannabidiol (CBD) and/or Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol

Chromosomes and genome
Cannabis, like many organisms, is diploid, having a chromosome complement of 2n=20, although polyploid individuals have been artificially produced.[19] The first genome sequence of Cannabis, which is estimated to be 820 Mb in size, was published in 2011 by a team of Canadian scientists.

A Dietician's Perspective on Cannabis
A Dietician's Perspective on Cannabis
"Cannabis can save the world."
"A bold statement perhaps, but potentially true nonetheless. As a dietitian, when I look at the cannabis plant, I first see its nutritional value as a vegetable, loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. I also know that essentially cannabis is hemp, and hemp hits a home run every time when it comes to nutritional value (among its other thousands of industrial uses). As a holistic healthcare professional, I recognize and highly respect the diversity of cannabis in its uses as a medicine to heal and repair both the body and the mind. It is my opinion that cannabis may not only be the best medicine, but also the most nutritious plant known to humankind thus far."

Promoting "Raw Green" Cannabis Movement Raw Cannabis Life Saving Results
You may have heard of Kristen Peskuski-Courtney, a woman who struggled with multiple chronic illnesses which left her all but debilitated. After years of pharmaceutical intervention to no avail, her health dramatically improved through the power of raw cannabis juicing. The man behind this method of ingestion is Dr. William Courtney, a medical doctor and huge promoter of the “raw greens” cannabis movement. |
From Dr. Courtney:
“Whether Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis, male, female, hermaphrodite, native, feral, bred for fiber, seeds or medicinal resin, cannabis is the best source for [beneficial cannabinoids]…Over 50 patients have used only [cannabinoids] to put their cancer in remission; and over 150 have found symptomatic relief.”

Amino Acids the Building Blocks of Life!
Cannabis Proteins, Amino Acids & Immunity How Nutrients (Amino Acids) work in the Body The best way to insure the body has enough amino acid material to make the globulins is to eat foods high in globulin proteins. Since hemp seed protein is 65% globulin edistin, and also includes quantities of albumin, its protein is readily available in a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma. Eating hemp seeds gives the body all the essential amino acids required to maintain health, and provides the necessary kinds and amounts of amino acids the body needs to make human serum albumin and serum globulins like the immune enhancing gamma globulins. Eating hemp seeds could aid, if not heal, people suffering from immune deficiency diseases. This conclusion is supported by the fact that hemp seed was used to treat nutritional deficiencies brought on by tuberculosis, a severe nutrition blocking disease that causes the body to waste away.
