With the information, knowledge and experience that the individuals at The Cannabis Awareness Network have collectively acquired over a decade has brought us to our current position’s within the field of Cannabis research; (a) We honor the freedom of choice on how to use Cannabis as a form of medicine; (b) All medicines regardless of their origin need to be dosed, administered and properly utilized in-order to yield maximum benefits; (c) Over consumption of anything should always be avoided, (d) Objective observation enhances general understanding; (e) Unfortunately, for some smoking Cannabis does indeed creates acute and detrimental side-effects; (f) Cannabis Extracted Oil [RSO] is currently the most effective antagonist in-respects to activating the Endocannabinoid receptors, thus, creating and maintaining perfect equilibrium within human anatomy. Bellow we have provided a variety of research reports from various sources around the world inorder to help you better understand Cannabis, Cannabinoids and the Endocannabinoid system.

The issues surrounding Cannabis and Hemp use have seen exponential growth within the past century sparking controversial discussions worldwide.
The Cannabis Awareness Network is a global community that saw the need for a publicly accessible unbiased information database to separate truth and evidence from biases and ideological claims.
Here at The Cannabis Awareness Network we strive to act as a social platform bridging – public, patient and industry leaders together in addressing each others knowledge, questions and concerns.
Although we are doing our very best to reveal the complexities of Cannabis’ ecology, it is not an easy task nor can it be summed up in a few words, phrases or articles. Searching through the available material and eliminating biases is a long and tedious process. That being said, the individuals behind these pages are subject to error. If you have any questions or concerns about any of our content please contact us, we’ll make sure to correct all misrepresented and/or misleading material immediately.
Rick Simpson's Story :
Rick Simpson began his journey with Cannabis after suffering a serious head injury in 1997 that left him with Post-Concussion Syndrome. After multiple unsuccessful attempts with pharmaceutical drugs leaving him with nothing but serious side effects, he would pursue anything thing that would relieve him of his symptoms. For Rick, smoking Cannabis would do just that. Then in 2002, Rick would be diagnosed with Basal-Cell Carcinoma, which is the most common form of malignant skin cancer in North America; infected areas included his chest, his cheek and one close to his right eye. In January 2003, Rick would have the malignant lesion close to his right eye surgically removed, with the other two infected areas scheduled for removal at a later date. Only a week after surgery, he would remember hearing of a report over a radio station stating, THC (tetrahydracannabinol) was known to kill cancerous cells.
It then dawned on Rick that the Cannabis he was smoking was the main source of THC but figured inhaling it would the least effective way to administer it for his skin cancer. With a minor background of distillation knowledge, he proceed to produce an extract of highly concentrated medicinal oil that would be topically applied to the other two infected areas. Miraculously after just four days both cancerous areas had cured and had fallen off like a scab leaving nothing but remanence of new skin. Unfortunately, the cancerous area that was “traditionally treated” had returned within 7 weeks; he then applied the Cannabis oil to the re-infected area and it too had fallen off in only four days! Fortunately He has never used Cannabis oil on these areas since.
Rick Simpson has successfully cured over 1,500+ people young and old, including himself, civilians, military veterans and law enforcement officers of various types of Cancers, free of charge. Despite persistent attacks from public entities, Rick continues to travel the world to educate and heal the people that seek him. Rick Simpson can be contacted through his organization Here.
Dosages of Medical Cannabis Oil :
It takes the average person about 90 days to ingest the full 60 gram treatment. I suggest that people start with three doses per day, about the size of a half a grain of short grained rice. A dose such as this would equal about ¼ of a drop. After four days at this dosage, most people are able to increase their doses by doubling the amount of their dose every four days.
It takes the average person about 5 weeks to get to the point where they can ingest a gram per day. Once they reach this dosage they can continue at this rate until the cancer disappears.
By using this method it allows the body to build up its tolerance slowly, in fact, I have many reports from people who took the oil treatment and said they never got high. We all have different tolerances for any medication. Your size and body weight have little to do with your tolerance for hemp oil. Be aware when commencing treatment with hemp oil that it will lower your blood pressure, so if you are currently taking blood pressure medication, it is very likely that you will no longer need it.
When people are taking the oil, I like to see them stay within their comfort zone, but the truth is, the faster you take the oil the better the chance of surviving. At the end of their treatment most people continue taking the oil but at a much reduced rate. About one gram a month would be a good maintenance dose. I do not like to see people overdosing on the oil, but an overdose does no harm. The main side effect of this medication is sleep and rest which plays an important role in the healing process. Usually, within an hour or so of taking a dose, the oil is telling you to lay down and relax. Don’t fight the sleepy feeling, just lay down and go with it. Usually within a month, the daytime tiredness associated with this treatment fades away but the patient continues to sleep very well at night.
The only time I would recommend that people start out with larger doses would be to get off addictive and dangerous pain medications. When people who are using such medications begin the oil treatment, they usually cut their pain medications in half. The object is to take enough oil to take care of the pain and to help the patient get off these dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. Taking the oil makes it much easier for the patient to get off these addictive chemicals.
I simply tell people the oil will do one of two things; it will either cure your cancer or in cases where it is too late to affect a cure, the oil will ease their way out and they can at least die with dignity.
Hemp oil has a very high success rate in the treatment of cancer. Unfortunately, many people who come to me have been badly damaged by the medical system with their chemo and radiation etc. The damage such treatments cause have a lasting effect and people who have suffered the effects of such treatments are the hardest to cure.
It should also be mentioned that the oil rejuvenates vital organs like the pancreas. Many diabetics who have taken the oil find that after about six weeks on the oil that they no longer require insulin since their pancreas is again doing its job.
Properly made hemp medicine is the greatest healer on this planet bar none. Once you experience what this medication can do you will understand why history and I call hemp medicine a cure all.
Treating Skin Cancer :
If you can get some properly made oil, it will definitely work to cure skin cancer and usually it only takes a few grams of oil to accomplish the task. Take about 30 grams of good Indica bud, this amount of starting material should produce 3 to 4 grams of high grade oil. Apply the oil to the skin cancer and cover it with a bandage, apply fresh oil and a new bandage every 3 or 4 days and the cancer should soon disappear. I always tell people to continue treatment until the cancer is gone, then they should continue to treat the area for about two more weeks just as if the cancer was still there.
Doing this will ensure that all the cancer cells are dead and I have never seen a cancer return if my instructions are followed. If you’ve had skin cancer for quite some time and the cancer is well established, it may take some time to cure. But usually even in quite severe cases the cancer will disappear in less than three weeks. In an extreme case it may take longer but if so ,then just keep up the treatment until it is gone. Many people can cure their skin cancer in no time, but it all depends on your own rate of healing and how deeply embedded the cancer has become...
