You will soon realize how easy it is to sway and manipulate the masses once you've learnt the art of mind control and meta-programming the masses. Such is the world we live in, the matrix to be precise, which thrives on feeding our illusions and perpetrating our false beliefs in societal structures and the idea of separation and individuality with little or no idea about the inner workings of a universe, grander than we can ever imagine. Thankfully some of us here remember who we are and why came here in these times ... Our mission is unfolding here perfectly as per plan and we are regrouping and preparing for ushering the dawn of a new age on Earth. Speaking our truth in these times is seen as a courageous thing to do and helps others like us, find us ... and this tribe gets stronger, gets larger as the light of truth can no longer be kept concealed and all shall be revealed in these times. Each one of us is playing our part in ushering in more light into dark spaces for this is why came here anyway ... :) Many of us are remembering who we are and are connecting with the ever flowing fountain of courage within us all, speaking our truth, living our truth, each day, each moment of our lives.

May the truth be told as it is, with no other hidden agendas, anymore ... May we all lead by our own example in action, not just in word !

Here is what Robert F Kennedy Jr. an American environmental attorney, son of Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former president John F. Kennedy has to say about Vaccines and Bill Gates.

"Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vac ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control over global health policy—the spear tip of corporate neo-imperialism.

Gates’ obsession with vaccines seems fueled by a messianic conviction that he is ordained to save the world with technology and a god-like willingness to experiment with the lives of lesser humans.

Promising to eradicate Polio with $1.2 billion, Gates took control of India ‘s National Advisory Board (NAB) and mandated 50 polio vaccines (up from 5) to every child before age 5. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating vaccine-strain polio epidemic that paralyzed 496,000 children between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian Government dialed back Gates’ vaccine regimen and evicted Gates and his cronies from the NAB. Polio paralysis rates dropped precipitously. In 2017, the World Health Organization reluctantly admitted that the global polio explosion is predominantly vaccine strain, meaning it is coming from Gates’ Vaccine Program. The most frightening epidemics in Congo, the Philippines, and Afghanistan are all linked to Gates’ vaccines. By 2018, ¾ of global polio cases were from Gates’ vaccines.

In 2014, the Gates Foundation funded tests of experimental HPV vaccines, developed by GSK and Merck, on 23,000 young girls in remote Indian provinces. Approximately 1,200 suffered severe side effects, including autoimmune and fertility disorders. Seven died. Indian government investigations charged that Gates funded researchers committed pervasive ethical violations: pressuring vulnerable village girls into the trial, bullying parents, forging consent forms, and refusing medical care to the injured girls. The case is now in the country’s Supreme Court.

In 2010, the Gates Foundation funded a trial of a GSK’s experimental malaria vaccine, killing 151 African infants and causing serious adverse effects including paralysis, seizure, and febrile convulsions to 1,048 of the 5,049 children.

During Gates 2002 MenAfriVac Campaign in Sub-Saharan Africa, Gates operatives forcibly vaccinated thousands of African children against meningitis. Between 50-500 children developed paralysis. South African newspapers complained, "We are guinea pigs for drug makers"
Nelson Mandela's former Senior Economist, Professor Patrick Bond, describes Gates' philanthropic practices as "ruthless" and immoral".

In 2010, Gates committed $ 10 billion to the WHO promising to reduce population, in part, through new vaccines. A month later Gates told a Ted Talk that new vaccines "could reduce population". In 2014, Kenya's Catholic Doctors Association accused the WHO of chemically sterilizing millions of unwilling Kenyan women with a phony "tetanus" vaccine campaign.

Independent labs found the sterility formula in every vaccine tested.

After denying the charges, WHO finally admitted it had been developing the sterility vaccines for over a decade.

Similar accusations came from Tanzania, Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines.

A 2017 study (Morgensen et.Al.2017) showed that WHO's popular DTP is killing more African than the disease it pretends to prevent. Vaccinated girls suffered 10x the death rate of unvaccinated children.

Gates and the WHO refused to recall the lethal vaccine which WHO forces upon millions of African children annually.

Global public health advocates around the world accuse Gates of - hijacking WHO's agenda away from the projects that are proven to curb infectious diseases; clean water, hygiene, nutrition and economic development.

They say he has diverted agency resources to serve his personal fetish - that good health only comes in a syringe.

In addition to using his philanthropy to control WHO, UNICEF, GAVI and PATH, Gates funds private pharmaceutical companies that manufacture vaccines, and a massive network of pharmaceutical -industry front groups that broadcast deceptive propaganda, develop fraudulent studies, conduct surveillance and psychological operations against vaccine hesitancy and use Gates' power and money to silence dissent and coerce compliance.

In this recent nonstop Pharmedia appearances, Gates appears gleeful that the Covid-19 crisis will give him the opportunity to force his third-world vaccine programs on American children."


Karma is Here, NOW !

So, looks like one can say the Apocalypse is here now. Things are going absolute nuts out there with folks who had no clue this was coming one day and even for some of us who had some idea or an inkling that something was on (all our tin foil hat buddies and conspiracy theorists) however, were always distracted by the ebb and flow of life and business has been on as usual, until now. Things have come to a grinding halt in our human world, while everything else in the outside world is flourishing since the human virus (us), are being contained in the most strange and unexpected way. For those of us who have been living solitary for a while this quarantine is nothing new but for some of us who have constantly been occupied with something worldly, with little time for growth and self exploration, the time is now. We have all the time in the world now to go within and learn how to meditate, breathe more consciously and stay connected with the essence of who we really are.

" It is always better to live with reality, because otherwise, without fail, reality will come to live with you. "
                                                                                                                                                     - The Aghori Vimalananda

The masses are driven by fear and in these apocalyptic times, the truth is being revealed. Karmic balances are being settled and all the other species living in the wild are rejoicing and thriving as the human virus is being contained. People with weakened immune systems and the ones living in fear are the first ones to be affected by all this fear mongering and this too is by design, to cull a majority of the populace. There is enough scientific evidence which suggests strong EMF frequencies are a hazard for all life forms on Earth, and humans are no exception to this. Still there are 5G towers coming up all over the world which seem to be strongly connected with the huge number of outbreaks of the Coronavirus or Covid-19.

The media is controlled and censored heavily with trolls and paid disinformation agents doing the rounds regularly. Most world leaders are being controlled by the TPTB and nothing coming out from official sources can be believed and trusted blindly. Pay attention to signs in the world outside and get some sun everyday. There will be major cataclysms happening which will shape the course of our future. There is nothing to fear when we allow our intuition to guide us. We are all in this together, however not everyone will be there with you as this is where paths begin to diverge ... The choice is always between love and fear and the ones who fear, do so because they lack true knowledge of the self and the universe is now putting us in a place where we have the opportunity to explore these uncharted territories and discover the magic of life.










Find your own answers and don't believe anything you read or see, unless it resonates with you, completely ! I am here for you, always ... I am Another You !

Trust that Ma takes care of all her children and everything is bound by certain laws of cause and effect. We always have the chance to change our crazy ways and rediscover a new version of ourselves each new day. We are born anew with each sunrise and its a new you, a new day ... make better choices and remember to stay connected with the breath at all times. The New Earth is something that each one of us will co-create by simply envisioning it. We dream our reality into being ... We will manifest love and harmony on Earth, and it starts with us.

Be Love ... Be Light !

((( In Lak'ech Ala K'in )))


Here are some interesting posts for the apocalypse ... :)

Everything is changing and in a forever state of flux. I have said these words many times before and now I am truly beginning to understand how we are our own obstacle and our own lack of awareness of self keeps us trapped in certain habitual self limiting patterns. Psychedelics and all of these magical experiences are showing us the way, we tend to confuse the wayshowers for the way. For many years I have been using plant based Psychedelics and its only now I am beginning to truly understand how we are literally slaves of our own mind if we continue to act on every impulse our mind suggests. To realize the self as the observer and observing ones own mind brings back clarity into our lives and the choices we make thereafter. An awakened intuition plays an ever important part in helping us traverse these paths as we begin to decipher the many secrets the universe holds for us ... as we go along ... Entheogens help us connect with our divine essence, our breath ... these deep transcendental meditative states make us realize the power in staying connected with one's breath, at all times. Through this realization, I started reprogramming my mind by staying focused on each passing breath, while simply observing the thoughts that come through and not necessarily acting on them.


Growing up in India we were aware of certain Yogis, Rishis, Sadhus ... who would go without food or water for days together. However, these abilities were only with the ones who renounced pleasures of the material world and had surrendered to the will of universe, living fearlessly in the lap of mother nature, in adverse climatic conditions most of us would shudder to even think of, given the so called 'comfortable lives' we lead, sheltered, however isolated from the natural way of life. These supermen who have lived among us in anonymity are shining examples of what its like to be Breatharian, living off Prana. From my personal experience so far, i can say that its been a gradual shift from living a life of consumerism to a minimalist way of life. I'm ever grateful to everyone in my life and the universe at large for all the profound realizations, lessons and synchronicities that have helped me carve the way forward.


Getting back to the topic of food, we are either feeding ourselves to health or imminent sickness all thanks to the toxicity in our food, killing us slowly and feeding the big pharma money making machine ! This gradual shift from eating solar powered food to becoming solar powered through sungazing practices and breathwork is the way forward for the evolving neo human.

"Hunger is the first element of self-discipline. If you can control what you eat and drink, you can control everything else." - Dr. Umar Shaykh


There are some great examples before us to learn from when it comes to eating right to eating nothing at all. Amen Ra is one such person who is vegan and eats just once a day. Intermittent fasting has tremendous health benefits as it doesn't wear out the body as fast as it would if we were eating excessively like we normally do.


I know some folks who have been raw vegan for a while now and look remarkably 'lit up', if you know what I mean ! Definitely a step forward as we move towards becoming solar powered. One such solar powered human I recently came across is Elitom-Amin who has been a Breatharian for over 20 years now !





We are being presented the opportunity to evolve or perish if we continue to do things we've been doing unconsciously for so many years. The Mayans spoke of a new kind of human who would emerge in these times and called it 'Homo Luminous'. Dolores Cannon also says something similar in her books where she describes the optimal diet for a human in these times and where things are headed ...


We are the ones in charge of our lives and we are completely responsible for what happens to us based on the choices we make now, from here on. It takes a little courage to step outside this heavily conditioned reality we've been sanctioned and make our own way. The Universe will support you at all steps, but you must take that first step into the unknown armed with knowledge and awareness of self at all times, allowing your heartfelt intuition to guide your actions.

The Entheogenic use of plant based potions by humans isn't something new and there is enough evidence indicating that this was common practice for our ancestors who knew the psychoactive properties of these brews and the powers they hold within to awaken us to the true spiritual nature of our reality.

For nearly 2000 years, as many as three thousand Greeks shared similar visionary experiences in the town of Eleusis while celebrating the great Eleusinian Mysteries.

In this inaugural video of "Ancient Greece Revisited" we explore the possible use of psychedelics in the Greek world. We follow a thread connecting the most sacred of rituals, the "Great Mysteries of Eleusis," to the discovery of LSD by Albert Hofmann in the midst of WW2, and from there, to a new, psychedelic view of the entirety of Greek culture.


( Click on the YouTube player window for sub-titles in Spanish, French and Greek. )

The Great Mystery was a six day festival observed at harvest time that symbolized the cycle of death and rebirth.

What began as a local festival, the Eleusinian Mysteries eventually became a defining piece of Athenian citizenship. The sixth day of festivities included ingestion of a portion known as the 'Kykeon'.

Upon ingestion, initiates described a gradual entrance into ecstasy accompanied by physical symptoms including vertigo, nausea, cold sweats, fear, and trembling.

These physical symptoms were met with mystical visions, or epopteia – an aura of brilliant light that appeared within the Hall.

The festival of the mysteries took place twice a year, in spring and in autumn, but the former was not so great and important as the latter. The mysteries, whose origins date to the prehellenic era, became particularly popular when Eleusis came under sovereignty of Athens. In the 5th century B.C. the telesterion—the great hall of mysteries was built there.

In this building the most important part of the ritual is supposed to have occurred: the ingestion of the kykeon, the mysterious sacrament that caused in participants intensive psychic changes, which cleared their souls, and made them accept death not so much as harm as a blessing, as one of the ancient diarists reported. In the late Roman period the mysteries no longer took place every year, and the cult was finally destroyed in 395 A.D. or the year after it when the troops of Alaric demolished the temple at Eleusis.

Ergot, a parasite that grows on barley, emits ergometrine and d-lysergic acid amide, a chemical precursor to LSD that exhibits similar psychedelic effects and a DEA schedule III drug in the United States. After ingesting the kykeon, the participant enters the final portion of the journey, wherein the most secret aspects of the mystery are revealed, with many experiencing visions pertaining to the possibility of eternal life. The influence of mind altering drugs is believed to bolster the individual's reaction to the final step and help the Eleusinian Mysteries survive for nearly two thousand years against a plethora of other mystery cults and the rise of Christianity in Rome.

In the first recorded literary source of the Mysteries at Eleusis, the kykeon brew was described as consisting of barley, water, and mint.

The barley found in fields near Eleusis was often infested with a fungal growth known as ergot, the compound commonly believed to be the psychoactive agent in the kykeon. In 1938, Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman first synthesized LSD from ergotamine, a chemical derived from ergot.

After this discovery, Hoffman pursued the notion that the entheogenic experience induced by the kykeon portion at Eleusis resulted from the same chemical makeup as that found in another entheogen: LSD. The term Entheogen comes from the Greek root, entheos (God within) and gen- (becoming), or “becoming a god within.”

The writings left behind describing the experiences at Eleusis are strikingly similar to those of other ancient psychedelic experiences induced by entheogens, such as Ayahuasca in the Amazon, the Blue Water Lily in Egypt, and the Soma in India.


Ancient entheogen users often cited a connection to a divine realm or entity, mystical and indescribable visions, the dissolution of the ego or self, and subsequent acceptance of death – all common themes in today’s well-known psychedelics including DMT (dimethyltryptamine), mescaline, LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), and sacred mushrooms (psilocybin).

Throughout recorded history in both ancient and modern times, many entheogen users in widely varying cultures and geographic areas depict comparable encounters.

If these same rites of passage and mystical experiences can be found throughout history and in so many divergent cultures, could these sacred and transformative entheogenic experiences be the true foundation of religion and man’s relationship with the divine?

So, it does seem like Hofmann's Elixir, LSD, is the new Eleusis !

In times like these, are we all receiving certain signs in the form of visions and dreams of an apocalypse to come ? There are have been many prophecies that have come true in our times and the seers have also grown in number, with each one having their version of what might be ahead of us, in our not so distant future. I have been prodded by the Universe to share one such apocalyptic vision of mine which I feel is something others also might have experienced in their visions / dream states. This is how it all began ...

I woke up one morning just around sunrise and noticed I was lying in bed and it was morning, the balcony door was left open (facing a forest) ... (Must've passed out the previous night) ... and I felt there was a vision or something coming through and I had to close my eyes again ... and so I did. I usually don't have many lucid dreams or even clear recollections of my dreams since I smoke quite a bit before going to bed which I'm told affects remembering the dreams, although the dreams never really stop. This was unlike anything I have ever experienced before in a very very lucid state .... like i was watching a movie with my eyes closed.


It started with this HUGE wave rising ... it just kept rising until I could see what resembled a massive hood of a Cobra from my perspective, right under it. The scene changes and now I am looking out from an apartment on what seemed like the 10th or the 11th floor in a multistory building. I was looking out through a balcony entrance and I could see some people standing in their balconies in the adjacent building, a level or two below. The next thing I see is water sweeping these people off from their balconies and now they were floating on water. I saw there were 3 or 4 other people in the same room I was viewing this from, but I could see only their dark silhouettes from an observers viewpoint. At this point I asked myself how do i feel, i sensed no fear at all ... like i wasn't really there. Perhaps in an out of body state. The scene changes again and now I see my ex wife, in still, calm waters ... holding on to a big log of wood. I somehow was floating above the water as I came close to her to check if she was ok. She responded saying Yes, she was fine. I was assured she was fine and then I see myself and my son from again an observers perspective gliding above the water and just going away ... and I woke up !

I remembered my vision so well, like I just finished watching something in my waking state. I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror soon after and I noticed my left eye looking a bit funny. In couple of hours this eye was swollen like a tomato and I couldn't open that eye at all. The vision, my eye ... this pain and frustration were making my question the whole sequence of events as to WHY did this happen ... It's only in adversity that we learn may hold true in this case as I learned new healing methodologies to recover from what seemed like an insect bite from the forest, which also somehow induced this vision ?!?! It took me a week to completely recover and I was able to see from that eye again, however the vision kept bothering me ... like I had to do something about it. This was sometime in the first week of August 2018, about a year ago. A few days after my vision the Kerala floods happened which kinda made me wonder if there was a connection between the two. A few days after I came across an article about a man called Madhav Gadgil who predicted the Kerala floods and also said that Goa would be next in line ... this is partly due to all the illegal mining for Iron ore in this region around the Western Ghats.

My intention is to simply share this vision with you folks to know if any of you have also had the same kind of visions or dreams. I feel there is something very real to all of this and we shall see this unfold in our near future. In times like these, many truths will be revealed much to the shock and amazement of the slumbering masses, who will probably go through a rude awakening to 'The Big Picture'. In the last chapter of "Laws of the Spirit World" a book by Khurshed Bhavnagiri, the transmissions she receives suggest that in these times there will be many cataclysmic events and there will be many UFOs seen in our skies which will be taking people to habitable zones in a post apocalyptic scenario. It's interesting to note that something similar was mentioned by the famous channel Barbara Marciniak in her book Bringers of the Dawn, where she speaks of many UFOs / Spaceships will be seen in our skies ... and if you ask this ships intuitively if they are from the light, you will get your answer. There are many of us who are presently unaware of our true origins and Earth's history and all that religious dogma and indoctrination will be put to the test when our illusory worldview is threatened by realities never heard of. We are all in this together and in times like these we must reunite as the one family of light we truly are. There is nothing to fear and run away from, but there is a lot to learn, understand and assimilate within our being and expressed in the lives we lead. Dolores Cannon also speaks of a new 5D Earth coming ... from a linear perspective of how we observe time. As we increase our own vibrational state we will slowly begin to gravitate towards this new world emerging where Peace and Harmony are a way of life and we all live as ONE !

Perhaps, we wake up one day and find ourselves in a totally new world, a different reality ... which we are co-creating ... !

How can it be explained otherwise ?! HAHAHAHAHA :D !!!! So, just in case you missed this one, Matt Groening who created 'The Simpsons' and now "Futurama" is believed by some to be a "Time Traveler" who created certain story lines in his episodes that actually happened for real, just the way he showed it. Watch for yourself !




This isn't the first time something strange like this has been observed. There are couple of more Time Travelers who have created a sensation in the media with their anomalous origins and eventual disappearance. Andrew Carlssin was one such name which came up some years ago after he made a whooping $350 million at the stocks in a very short period of time investing a small amount to start with. He said he was from 2256 !

With so many recent shows on Netflix talking about Alternate realities, parallel dimensions and time travel, it seems like mystery and magic are slowly becoming the norm. Utter Strangeness of life sometimes and these unexplained occurrences deepen the mystery about life and who we think we are ... I see all of this as a positive shift towards full and completed awareness of the self ... we are being nudged forward towards realizing our truest potential. It's time for a new world ... and we are the ones creating it, here and now ! Choose wisely ... Trust you Instincts !

Your foolproof and definitive guide to buying online and mail order marijuana seeds. So easy, even a monkey could do it.


Possibly even a stoned monkey. Okay, so maybe not that, but this is your guide to buying weed seeds right, getting your crop growing in the best way possible, as soon as possible. To purchase marijuana seeds, you’re gonna need to know all The Who’s, How’s, When’s, Where’s and Why’s before you get started. The Who is easily the most important. Snagging a couple seeds that your cousin found in the bottom of a bag of dirt bud probably isn't the best way to go if you’re planning on having a nice crop. So make sure that you get your seeds from a reputable source.


Seeds are obviously the most important part of your future marijuana plants, because it all starts with them. Creating and properly collecting seeds, preferably feminized and carefully selected, takes time, effort, and a decent amount of science- which is why it’s best left to the professionals. When purchasing weed seeds for the first time, it’s better to spend a little bit more money in the beginning, than waste a lot in the end because your plants won’t produce.

Where to Buy

The “where” question relies pretty heavily on where you happen to be at, yourself. In weed friendly states and countries, you can sometimes pick up seeds from your local cannabis purveyor, or seed bank. Talking to the pros that handle the seeds themselves is usually a must for any beginner. Get to know your supplier as well as any strains they have for sale. These guys are the brains behind their seed operations, so they should be able to easily answer any questions you may have.

In countries and states where marijuana seeds aren’t exactly legal, there are generally a few loopholes in laws that can help you out. Order marijuana seeds online to avoid the risk of possession charges. Generally, seeds aren’t illegal to possess, as long as they aren’t in soil. This is excessively true in states and countries where hemp and hemp by products have been decriminalized. Should you get caught with some mail-order seeds, generally the worst case scenario is they won’t make it to you, as they are subject to being confiscated.

Why to Buy

Buying marijuana seeds online, either domestically or abroad has a few different advantages. Besides avoiding many legal implications, online marijuana seed banks generally have a slew of reviews and user ratings. These types of forums are massively useful when buying anything online and marijuana seeds are no exception.

Another added bonus of purchasing seeds online is that you can get hard to find and unique strains. The UK, The Netherlands, and Spain are common purveyors of the more popular strains. Because of this popularity, it’s not difficult to find a seed bank that is reputable and has satisfied customers. Most online retailers also have FAQ forums or online customer assistance should you run into trouble. No matter where you get your seeds, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll have a 100% success rate at all times, but more often than not, you should be getting what you’re paying for.

If you don’t plan on going the mail-order route to purchase marijuana seeds, keep in mind that certain modes of travel (like airplanes) aren’t always the best idea when carrying a pocket full of seeds. Crossing state lines can also get you into some trouble if you’re not careful about where you buy and how you transport. Be sure to brush up on any marijuana travel related laws before you bring home any souvenirs.


What to Buy

Choosing which seed to buy can be a pretty exciting, and equally overwhelming, experience. Any decent seed bank will offer many, many, different strains of marijuana seeds on their site. Feminized and autoflowering are also some weed seed buzzwords you need to be aware of.

Feminized

Unless you’re planning on doing some crossbreeding and have a pretty solid background in cannabis cultivation- feminized seeds are definitely the way to go. Choosing to buy feminized seeds can increase your expected yield by up to 50%. This is because, without feminization, seeds have roughly a 50/50 chance of producing a male plant. Male plants don't produce decent pot and should a male pollinate your lady plants, the pot your girls produce will be pretty crap too. Properly feminized seeds have close to a 99% chance of producing a female plant.

Autoflowering


Autoflowering seeds are great for beginners. No strict and costly light cycles are necessary, and the plants will flower on their own. Non-autoflowering strains will require strict light cycles during different stages of plant development in order to produce good foliage and fat buds. Autoflowering seeds will flower based upon plant age. A small downfall is that yield is generally low and plants are fairly small.

Sativa


These bad boys will be ENORMOUS. So plan on that. Sativas also take quite a bit more time to flower and vegetate. They require a very large amount of space and an equally large amount of water, food, light, and just about everything else. But, you definitely reap what you sow with Sativas, as their cones are generally larger and the high is much more cerebral.

Indica

Indica strains are generally a bit smaller than their Sativa sisters, but will still require quite a bit of growing room as well as intense light schedules. Many new growers will opt to start with an indica strain over a sativa purely based on the amount of space they have to grow.

So finally it looks like things are heading in the right direction with more Plant based medicines and alternative healing modalities making their way into the mainstream culture of our society. It feels good to know that now there is more awareness of Cannabis being a medicinal plant, although its recreational use being more prevalent, it still is medicine for the sick and dying who could heal in a more holistic way, how nature intended it to be.

Here is an insightful post from our friends at Vedi Herbals about Cannabis and the Endocannabinoid System.

The Endocannabinoid System: How Cannabis works?

You have heard about the 11 major organ systems including the respiratory, muscular, skeleton, digestive and reproductive system. But have you heard about the Endocannabinoid System? Probably not, because it has only been discovered in the 1990s and scientists are still trying to understand the complete working of this system.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) has been found to be the most important physiological system involved in establishing and supporting our health. It plays a vital role in modulating the regulation of homeostasis of the human body, which encompasses the brain, reproductive, and immune system, to name a few. Let’s take a deep dive into the ECS and how Cannabis works here.

Cannabis infused Ayurvedic medicines are available for patients because of their therapeutic benefits. You can buy Cannabis medicine online at Vedi Herbals.

What is the Endocannabinoid System?


The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a biological system composed of 3 components- 1. Endocannabinoids, 2. Cannabinoid receptors and 3. The cellular machinery (enzymes that produce and breakdown endocannabinoids). ECS is responsible for regulating various physiological and cognitive processes including appetite, mood, fertility, pain, and memory.

Endocannabinoids are molecules produced by cells that bind to cannabinoid receptors, known as CB1 and CB2, found throughout the body. Stimulating these receptors results in various physiologic processes inside the cell.

To understand how Cannabis works and its benefits, it’s important to understand the ECS.




How and when Medical Cannabis Evolved?

Decades back while Cannabis was being studied, it’s main active compound THC was discovered. However, scientists then didn’t have any clue that the human body has special receptors for it.

Research work on rats in 1988 helped the discovery of the first cannabinoid receptor (CB1).
In 1993, a second cannabinoid receptor (CB2) was identified which was found to be distributed throughout the immune system and peripheral tissues of the body.

In 1995, researchers discovered that the two receptors, CB1 and CB2 were found not only in rats but in million other species including humans. However, scientists were confused about why humans would have receptors for a substance which was made by some plant. Was it possible that our bodies produced cannabinoids similar to THC?

As research advanced, this was proved true. From what we know yet, human bodies produce 80 endocannabinoids (i.e. cannabinoids produced by our body) and nearly 32 receptors to bind them. The cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoids interact in the same way as lock and key and together comprise the ECS. When the cannabinoid "key” attaches to the receptor "lock”, activation occurs, resulting in the amazing effects on the brain and body.

The cannabinoids produced by Cannabis like CBD and THC (also known as “Phyto-cannabinoids” or “Exo-cannabinoids”) work similar to the cannabinoids produced by our body (Endo-cannabinoids) and act as keys for the receptor locks.

Why We Need Cannabis or Phyto-Cannabinoids?

With age and lifestyle, the endocannabinoid levels might change and can lead to various health problems including sleep disorders, inflammatory response, and Alzheimer’s.

Cannabis can play a vital role here. The most popular cannabinoids found in Cannabis are THC and CBD, with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. This external source can help promote homeostasis in our body and re-establish good health.




How does Cannabis Work?


They work in two ways, one by maintaining the ECS and secondly by complementing if there is a deficiency.

THC in Cannabis is responsible for the intoxicating effects of cannabis, as well as many of the medicinal properties. THC works by interacting with the ECS’s CB1 and CB2 receptors. By stimulating these receptors,THC can imitate the function of the endocannabinoids our bodies produce to regulate physiology and maintain health.

While CBD in Cannabis interacts with other nominal receptors with remarkable effects. For instance, CBD activates the receptor GPR55, which has been shown to assist in reducing pain and inflammation. CBD has been shown to decrease the activity of THC’s activity at CB receptors. Combining CBD and THC decreases the intoxicating and other side effects of THC, while enhancing some of THC’s benefits and hence they usually work best together.

If there is a cannabinoid deficiency in the body, administering Cannabis can help bring levels to normal. Low Cannabinoid levels trigger health issues like headaches, mood swings, irritability, etc. The optimum level of endocannabinoids maintains vital health functions and helps restore the balance within the body.

How are Cannabis and Ayurveda related?


Interestingly, Cannabis is a vital ingredient in more than 80 traditional Ayurvedic formulas.

To suffer from PTSD is not a nice situation for anyone to go through. Because we are reacting to something that happened in our past, sometimes it's not always easy to understand what we are doing to ourselves and others until we have managed to release it. And this is just what I unintentionally did after carrying it around with me for the last fifty years.

So, what did I do? Firstly, I started micro-dosing with psilocybin. The magic mushrooms helped to soften some of my constant limiting self-beliefs as well as reducing the amount of regular soul-destroying nightmares that stopped me from sleeping soundly through the night. And although it wasn't much, this was a great relief for me.


It was, however, when I discovered and started the Sweet Spot therapeutic sessions with psilocybin that, step for step, I managed to eliminate my debilitating PTSD. When I started, I hoped it would soften my issues, challenges and anguish a little more than micro-dosing, but at no point did I realise it would release me from those life-long bounds altogether. Each session focused on a particular issue, and I think I can say that after the fourth session I had released my burdens. It was the fifth session, however, that turned out to be a bonus and was a spiritual moment that previously I disregarded such thoughts as rubbish. What an eye opener this turned out to be.

All in all, this life-changing experience took me a little more than a year to complete, even though I had many good and bad days as I realised what I had gone through in my life. Yet, now I can get up each and every morning with enthusiasm and determination to make the most of my remaining life. Words can't express how wonderful this is to experience on a daily basis and just seems to get better each and every day that still allows me to deal with the past, to love myself and to have the life that I never previously had.


Please join me on this year-long life-journey of mine as I bare my soul in describing what happened in my past, the battles I experienced through these changes to the awe-inspiring life-changing revelations I experienced. You can find my book and ebook on Amazon (your country) or Lulu (the paperback is cheaper here!) or you can order it from your local bookshop if they don't already have it on their shelves.
