Cannabis juice

Preparing cannabis juice simply allows you to obtain multiple benefits without experiencing side effects. Additionally, this type of medicinal cannabis recipe makes the most of its properties. In this article, we briefly explain what it is and how to make it step by step at home.

What is cannabis juice?

Cannabis juice is a drink made from the leaves, stems, branches, and buds of male and female cannabis plants. Moreover, this type of beverage has multiple health benefits and can improve symptoms of various diseases and ailments. Furthermore, its preparation is very simple, and anyone can easily make it at home.

Who invented this cannabis drink?

Dr. William L. Courtney is the inventor of cannabis juice. He is a doctor with an extensive medical career and a staunch advocate of the numerous benefits of cannabis. He became known worldwide after one of his patients (Kristen Perkuski), who suffered from lupus (a disease that causes the immune system to attack healthy cells and tissues), underwent treatment with cannabis juice and significantly improved her multiple problems, which prevented her from leading a normal life.

Benefits of cannabis juice

For centuries, the multiple benefits and uses of cannabis and hemp plants have been well known. In this specific case, the benefit of the juice is due to the cannabinoids the plant develops, such as THC, CBD, CBN, and CBG. Chlorophyll, terpenoids, flavonoids, and alkaloids also play a role, along with components like magnesium and proteins. However, the main beneficial effects are caused by the cannabinoids.

The benefits include:

• Prevents diseases.
• Is anti-inflammatory.
• Improves the immune system.
• Is antioxidant.
• Prevents oxidation of molecules.
• Improves and boosts metabolism.
• Is antibacterial.
• Is a source of proteins and amino acids.
• Is analgesic.
• Is anticonvulsant.
• Stimulates appetite.
• Is antidepressant.
• Is antimetastatic.
• Improves healing.
• Provides vitamins A, C, and E.
• Oxygenates and cleanses the blood.
• Improves digestion.
• Is diuretic.

Additionally, many of the benefits of this juice are caused by chlorophyll, which is very complete and could be used separately as part of a healthy daily diet. The benefits of chlorophyll include:

• Reduces cholesterol and triglycerides.
• Aids in ulcer healing.
• Improves calcium absorption.
• Enhances memory.
• Balances glucose levels.
• Fights fungi and bacteria.

Another key to the broad and complete effect is consuming the cannabinoids in their acidic form: THCA, CBDA, etc. In this way, without combustion, they do not decarboxylate, so the psychoactive effect is minimal, if not almost nil. Indeed, this allows for more optimal use of the benefits of this type of substance in its acidic form.

Moreover, when cannabis is decarboxylated, the cannabinoids lose their non-psychoactive acidic form and become psychoactive (THCA becomes THC). In this process, THCA and CBDA levels decrease drastically, so the medicinal effect of these forms disappears.

Also, it’s crucial to know that this type of juice does not cause any kind of high or psychoactive effect as long as it is not heated or made with dried cannabis or leaves. In the worst case, it may cause a mild high due to the different combination of terpenes contained in the cannabis. But if decarboxylated material is used, the effect will be much stronger.

Tips to consider

Another essential condition for everything to go perfectly is to use fresh plant material. If the cannabis to be used is dry or has dried even a small percentage, it will not work, as it must be freshly harvested material from a live plant, if possible.

Likewise, the recommended amount is about 12 medium-sized leaves and a couple of early-harvest buds, also medium-sized. However, the quantity will vary depending on the person and their preferences.

How to drink cannabis juice

Once the juice is ready with the previously mentioned amounts of plant material, it should be divided into 3 parts and consumed throughout the day. This is the most common recommendation.

Before drinking, it should be mixed with another type of natural juice, such as carrot juice, adding 9 parts of the chosen juice to 1 part of cannabis juice. This way, besides benefiting from the consumption of cannabis and carrot juice, the taste will be greatly improved, and it will be easier to drink.

This cannabis drink can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days after it is made.

Precautions to consider

It is not recommended to drink cannabis juice for people with gallbladder problems, kidney problems, or those taking anticoagulants.
