Written by thcscout on February 9, 2025. Posted in Beginners. No Comments on Medical Marijuana Strains & Delivery | Discover Marijuana

If you’re new to Medical Marijuana use, finding the right marijuana strains for your particular ailment can be overwhelming and, without the proper assistance, next to impossible. Tim & Blake are here to help.

We’re excited to announce a brand new educational video series: Discover Marijuana with Tim & Blake, brought to you by https://utahmarijuana.org and https://zionmedicinal.com.

When it comes to marijuana, for beginners especially, you’ve got to throw out almost everything you’ve ever known about medication. Medical Marijuana is a whole new ballgame. In Utah, marijuana has just recently become legal for medical use, leaving many lifelong users wondering how to adjust their usage to adhere to the law, and many newbies just wondering where in the world to start.

Blake Smith, Chief Scientific Officer at Zion Medicinal, a Utah CBD and Medical Cannabis grower and supplier, will give you an idea of what cannabis compounds to look out for when purchasing your CBD or THC products, and which to completely avoid.

Pro tip: Tim Pickett, a QMP in Utah and founder of Utahmariijuana.org, will almost always recommend CBD for beginners, to combat the possible “too high” feeling that you may experience as your body adjusts to the THC. Check out Tim’s website, https://utahmarijuana.org for other helpful tips with everything from Utah Marijuana laws to getting a Utah Medical Marijuana Card.

Medical Marijuana for Beginners (Part 1): Finding Your "Just Right" Dose

Written by thcscout on February 11, 2021. Posted in Beginners. No Comments on Medical Marijuana for Beginners (Part 1): Finding Your "Just Right" Dose

Today Tim and Black discuss how to go about finding Your “Just Right” Dose. More important than medical marijuana strain or delivery is getting your dosage perfect. Today we show you how!

Thanks for tuning in to part two of the second episode of Discover Marijuana with Tim & Blake, brought to you by https://utahmarijuana.org and https://zionmedicinal.com,

After years of marijuana research, many states in the US have rolled out legalization programs, whether medical or recreational/adult use. In Utah, marijuana was legalized for medicinal use in March 2020, and the beautiful friendship between your hosts, Tim Pickett, a QMP in Utah and founder of Utahmarijuana.org, and Blake Smith, Chief Scientific Officer of Zion Medicinal, was born.

Before you jump right into Medical Marijuana treatment, it’s important to understand not only how marijuana works, but also how to use marijuana effectively as medicine. To help you better understand this, Tim will tackle the medicine side, while Blake will break down the science behind marijuana and how it works to treat a variety of ailments.

Without the proper Medical Marijuana dosage and treatment plan from a provider, a new patient could encounter negative marijuana effects, like feeling disoriented, anxious, or “too high.” Many providers will give their Medical Marijuana patients a CBD dosage to combat some of the undesirable marijuana side effects, as CBD can act as a buffer to some of the psychoactivity that comes with its THC counterpart. For more about CBD and THC, visit utahmarijuana.org, your #1 source for all things cannabis in Utah. While you’re there, take some time to study up on Utah Marijuana laws and look into getting a Utah Medical Marijuana Card.

Researching the Health Effects of Marijuana

Written by thcscout on December 28, 2017. Posted in Facts. No Comments on Researching the Health Effects of Marijuana

Politics, prejudice, and pressure coming from both sides adds to the complexity of cannabis research.

Subscribe to Dr. Greger’s free nutrition newsletter at http://www.nutritionfacts.org/subscribe and get a free excerpt from his latest NYT Bestseller HOW NOT TO DIE. (All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from his books, DVDs, and speaking directly support NutritionFacts.org).

As difficult as cannabis research can be, there have been hundreds of studies published. Find out what a major recent review found in my last video, The Institute of Medicine Report on the Health Effects of Marijuana (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/The-Institute-of-Medicine-Report-on-the-Health-Effects-of-Marijuana). And if you want to learn more, I made a whole DVD download of cannabis research for those interested in a deep dive: https://drgreger.org/collections/downloads/products/cannabis-what-does-the-science-say-digital

The cannabis issue reminds me of a similar clash of politics and commercial interests in the cell phone debate. If you’re interested, check out my videos Does Cell Phone Radiation Cause Cancer?

What did the 2017 National Academies of Sciences 468 page report conclude about cannabis?

I take full responsibility for the puns (‘twas no joint decision :). Anyone care to count? How many did I make it up to?

Stay tuned for Researching the Health Effects of Marijuana (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Researching-the-Health-Effects-of-Marijuana) next, but I have a whole treasure chest of cannabis videos that are going to be dribbling every month or so until the end of 2019.
