(NaturalNews) Contrary to popular belief, the marijuana plant is a whole lot

more than just a psychoactive drug that " stoners " use to get high. In raw

form, marijuana leaves and buds are actually loaded with a non-psychoactive,

antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer nutrient compound known as

cannabidiol (CBD) that is proving to be a miracle " superfood " capable of

preventing and reversing a host of chronic illnesses.

Though you may not have heard much about it, the CBD found in the marijuana

plant -- marijuana is technically just a vegetable, by the way -- is a

highly medicinal substance with unique immune-regulating capabilities. Since

the human body already contains a built-in endogenous cannabinoid system,

complete with cannabinoid receptors, inputting CBD from marijuana can help

normalize the body's functional systems, including cell communication and

proper immune function.

The way CBDs work is that they bridge the gap of neurotransmission in the

central nervous system, including in the brain, by providing a two-way

system of communication that completes a positive " feedback loop, " according

to Dr. , a medical marijuana expert and founder of Cannabis

International. As opposed to a one-way transmission, which can promote

chronic inflammation of healthy tissue, the unique two-way transmission

system engaged by marijuana CBDs mimics the body's own natural two-way

communications system.

So individuals whose systems are compromised by autoimmune disorders,

cellular dysfunction, chronic inflammation, cancer cells, and various other

illnesses can derive a wide range of health-promoting benefits simply by

consuming CBDs. And one of the best ways to obtain CBDs is to juice raw

marijuana leaves and buds, according to Dr. , who currently runs a

clinic in Luxembourg that provides raw cannabis medicinal services to

patients in need.

" CBD works on receptors, and as it turns out, we have cannabinoids in our

bodies, endogenous cannabinoids, that turn out to be very effective at

regulating immune functions, nerve functions, bone functions, " says Dr.

Ethan Russo, a Seattle, Wash.-area physician who is also a senior advisor to

GW Pharmaceuticals, a British drug company that is utilizing CBDs in a new

marijuana mouth spray known as Sativex.

" There's a tendency to discount claims when something appears to be good for

everything, but there's a reason this is the case. The endogenous

cannabinoid system acts as a modulator in fine-tuning a lot of these

systems, and if something is deranged biochemically in a person's body, it

may well be that a cannabinoid system can bring things back into balance. "

Be sure to check out these amazing videos from Cannabis International that

explain more about how raw cannabis, and specifically the CBDs found inside

the plant, work to promote health and reverse disease:

As long as marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug with 'no currently accepted

medical use,' most Americans will never realize its benefits

While some U.S. states like California and Colorado are beginning to

recognize and accept that marijuana has legitimate therapeutic value, the

federal government continues to classify marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug with

" no currently accepted medical use. " And as long as it remains classified in

this way, most Americans will never have the opportunity to experience the

healing potential of this vital superfood.

But Cannabis International and other groups are continuing to educate the

public about why marijuana is a food essential, and how legalizing it could

change the world. To learn more, be sure to visit:
