Juicing 15 leaves and 2 huge nugs of raw bud per day is a healthy regimen. The fresher the weed is the better because many of the beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes are lost during the drying and curing process. Both have a nice balance of omega 3 and 6 and they’re both high in antioxidants. However, the weed seems to tip the scale with way more health benefits in total. While it’s hard to deny the nutritional value of kale, cannabis seems to be capable of so much more. Even if we just compared raw cannabis to kale there are more available nutrients in the untouched pot. Cannabis is a complete protein whereas kale provides a small percentage of our daily needs. There is much more concrete evidence of cannabis’ ability to fight diseases than there is for kale. Kale is definitely packed with an array of vitamins and minerals but if we’re giving out a crown cannabis is king.
Thank you for this amazing information. I've always known that cannabis is a miraculous plant, but I never knew it had more nutritional value than kale. That is amazing! I understand to get the most nutrients from juicing your leaves that you will want to use them fresh off the plant. Everyone should have a small plant that they keep in veg in their kitchen so they can easily pluck the leaves for juicing. The leaves can also be used in a salad.
I do have a question about the raw buds you speak of. Does this mean one should take a bud directly from a mature plant and put it straight into the juicer? This seems to be way more difficult than merely having a plant in veg to pluck leaves from.
Tried that with my friend this last summer. He just couldn't maintain focus.
Love the idea and have so much leaf anyways!
Doesn’t taste bad either, add a little agave, lime and fruit and your good to go. A great way to start the day.
My friend said that he was barely able to function properly after. What's your effect? If any?
Got a good recipe for ganja smoothie? I dont have a juicer, but plenty of leaves on hand!
Blend well and then strain!
