Trichomes are, basically, PLANT HAIR. The name "curly trichome oil" is a play on words. You'll see it all come together. Please keep reading!
Trichomes do A LOT. Their specific function is largely determined by their location on the plant. Root hairs, for instance, take in water and minerals. While leaf trichomes help keep the plant cool and hydrated. Leaf trichomes also reflect radiation, and protect against insects.
These trichomes are charged with the task of keeping safe a desirable herb that cannot flee. It does so, chemically. By making the plant smell and taste unpalatable to pests (and attractive to many humans!) Interestingly, the same compounds that repel the pests of cannabis, ALSO repel many diseases of humans.
We co-evolved with cannabis for thousands of years. Our nervous system is made with RECEPTORS FOR cannabinoids. So, no matter how astoundingly ignorant the US Department of Justice continues to prove itself, the physiological and historical truth will always stand, tall and indestructibly: the human body needs compounds from the cannabis plant, for optimal health and happiness.
Any administration or cartel that makes it difficult for people to access a non-toxic, non-lethal, highly effective healing and restorative leafy vegetable IS DIABOLICAL, and deserves obliteration, not obedience.
The illegality of cannabis, makes as much ethical sense as did the legality of slavery and the holocaust. Some "laws" are morally outrageous.
Do we have the presence of mind to be outraged?! Any moral hang-ups that preachers, parents, purists, policy-makers or physicians have about this plant is rooted in fiction, lies and disinformation.
Those who oppose cannabis, also oppose reason and self-evident fact.
Nearly 500 chemical compounds have been found in cannabis, and only 8 or 9 of them have really been explored in any depth. Of all the therapeutically-true things we know about cannabis, there's still much more that we don't know! There are so many more life-enhancing gifts, YET to be unpacked. And here is a more light-hearted one...
Cannabis And Hair??
The first thought that would come to most minds is that of a hair/follicle DETECTION TEST.
That's the kind of 'innovation' that comes out of an authoritative culture... How can we best TRACK and ENFORCE people to not ingest this medicinal, revelatory herb? Test their hair for traces of an essential nutrient, so we can disturb or prevent their employment!
Our Answers Will Only Hold As Much Life + Creativity As The Questions We Ask
The problem with the allopathic mindset that makes up dominant culture, is that it launches everything from Problem, rather than Possibility. You're always stuck in a base of sickness, disease and unwellness. That becomes the expected norm, AND IT IS AN UNIMAGINATIVE DRAG! Bleh. Well, I have a light-hearted question to ask...
What Happens When Curls, Meet Cannabis? And, Specifically, Super Thirsty BLACK CURLS??
I was a very curious child, and sometimes conducted experiments. On myself.
One incredibly simple-minded notion I had, resulted in a home-made concoction of a "hair-growth ointment" that used as a main base... weeds! I figured whatever it was inside them that caused them to grow so quickly, could have the same influence on our hair, and stimulate its quickened growth. Funny, that I'm now re-visiting that question... with my favorite, beloved weed. We know that CBD hastens the mending of broken bones and is also great topically applied to the skin.
I'm curious to see what the effects are of hot CTO (Curly Trichome Oil) treatments, especially when:
- Administered as a traditional hot oil treatment;
- Using full-spectrum, unstripped, cannabis-infused coconut oil (or other natural, hair-friendly oil);
- Observing for psychoactive effects (as I've read THC doesn't absorb topically); and
- Desiring more rapid hair growth.
Anyone Else Curious About The Effect Of THC On Curly + Coarse Hair?
Access may be prohibitive for many of us, and this is exactly why every American NEEDS to PUSH their reps on H.R.1227.
As I do with most of my Steemit posts, I am cross-sharing this with my:
LinkedIn network, which is full of cannabis geniuses, growers, inventors, researchers, scientists, healers; and my
Instagram channel, which is full of cannabis entrepreneurs and personalities.
I want you to know about this special social media platform -- Steemit.com -- because you might especially benefit from the blockchain technology on which it's built, and the open-minded people who find it so attractive.
I recently watched an impassioned video, made by Jerry Banfield. I highly recommend you watch it, too, especially if you've ever considered blogging. Now is a perfect time to express yourself, and get rewarded in cryptocurrency! Jerry's video gives a great explanation.
Clinical trials are needed -- and OBSTRUCTED -- by unreasonable, greed-driven laws. So, maybe Steemit can be a platform for DIGITAL TRIALS, following an open source model??
That's the curious mind, heart and spirit with which this post was written. If you are able and inspired to move any part of this idea forward, PLEASE DO SO, MY FRIENDS! Puff. Publish. Peace.
