The Science of THC Medicine!

Frank Lucido has been a general family practice doctor for 30 years. Since cannabis was legalized for medical use in 1996, he has been an outspoken and highly regarded supporter of herbal medicine. He spoke with The Sacramento Press to offer medical perspective on the drug.

"I started getting into it right away after it was legal," he said. "Every doctor knows they have about 20 slam-dunk patients that could benefit greatly from medical cannabis."

While Lucido was getting his M.D. in the '70s, doctors weren't learning about cannabis, aside from its reportedly high potential for abuse.

"The dangers of cannabis we knew were overblown," he said. "All of us saw people using cannabis in med school and still performing extremely well."

Once California's medical cannabis legalization measure, Proposition 215, got on the ballot, Lucido's interest was piqued. He had heard rumors that cannabis had some vague medical benefits and began checking out studies on what exactly cannabis did.

"There's still a lot we don't know, but we do know there are at least 70 reactive cannabinoids as well as many CBDs," he said.

1. "Medical cannabis" is just good cannabis.

We need to get rid of these artificial distinctions. "Recreational cannabis" and "Medical cannabis" are both just cannabis.

3. Then YOU need to do some learnin"

Medical marijuana can be many strains, and even more important, early or late harvest. This will create vastly different responses. Early harvest will be daytime, up, creative, get stuff done pot. Late harvest, is called couch lock. Much of the ill affects of pot are late harvest. How does late harvest happen? Everything you do to pot after you kill it, degrades the THC. Slow steady drying, proper moisture content during transport, on and on, are crucial to the flavor, effect and smoothness of the draw. Medical marijuana is better, because the grower is not paranoid and compromising all phases of the process out of fear.
