Experts like Dr. William Courtney say that\u00a0weed is a \u2018dietary essential\u2019 as Marijuana contains extremely high concentrations of cannabinoid acids which it has been discovered are essential for cell function.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>The essential step of decarboxylation<\/h2>\n<p>One thing many people don\u2019t In order to release the full potential of marijuana\u2019s psychoactive effects, buds must first go through the cannabis alchemy called decarboxylation.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/herb.co\/2015\/11\/04\/juicing-raw-cannabis-why-the-blender-is-better-than-the-bowl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Raw cannabis<\/a> contains a lot of THCA which is not psychoactive (meaning it doesn\u2019t get you high). However when you apply heat, such as a flame or <a href=\"http:\/\/herb.co\/2015\/05\/09\/why-pen-vaporizers-are-the-best\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vaporize<\/a>, cannabis becomes \u2018decarboxylated\u2019 by the heat and at this point becomes psychoactive as the THCA is converted into THC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Amino Acids\u00a0and Cannabis<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Cannabis contains a heaping amount of essential amino acids, like other essential fatty acids our bodies don\u2019t produce essential amino acids of their own accord, so we need to introduce them through our diet. Amino acids are essential in that they help cells to function properly, to repair damaged tissue, to maintain structure and to transport nutrients around the body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>The role of Cannabinoid Acids<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>There are\u00a0two main cannabinoid acids in studies, THCa and CBDa. If these acids are heated then they begin to change\u00a0into different chemicals, they become degraded into the psychoactive THC and cannabinoid CBD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>While active THC and CBD have their own health benefits,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IlsBGXNxJYU\">Dr. Courtney explains:<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><i>\u201cWe have a series of cannabis strains called ACDC. \u2018AC\u2019 stands for alternative cannabinoid, which is the CBD acid molecule, which has come into focus lately as being very important as an anti-inflammatory. And \u2018DC\u2019 stands for dietary cannabis. [\u2026] If you do heat it, then your dose is around 10mg. And if you don\u2019t heat it, if it\u2019s raw, then your dose is around one to 1-2,000mg.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>When eaten raw, the body is able to process much larger amounts of THCa and CBDa.
