Welcome to the Cannaba Verum podcast, the cannabis truth podcast.

I speak the language of cannabis freely and uncensored while educating my audience on the safe use of this live plant therapy.

You should know what’s in your cannabis. What’s good and what’s not. It does not come with an FDA stamp of approval, yet. Using cannabis mindfully as medication is a different concept than Western health care philosophy, specifically of the past 100 years. There’s a lot to learn and reconsider.

The information you’ll find here comes straight from the scientists and clinicians doing the work and reporting their findings in real time through various online outlets. The scientific truth of cannabis is finally getting out and is wide open for all to see at respected medical sites like pubmed.gov and JAMA, the Journal of American Medical Association.

I’m right there in the thick of it with all those titans of medicine… as a fly on the wall. Because, I’m not a doctor. I didn’t go to med school. I took dozens of private cannabis courses offered by cannabis scientists online over the past few years and slowly began to understand the bigger picture. But I’m not a medical doctor or scientist. Oh, I can talk to one about cannabis and hopefully inspire more doctors and patients alike to research the facts as we know them today and decide alternative health paths for themselves.

This is Honey Smith Walls, a 21st century cannabis shaman, not a doctor, not a scientist, just here to explain this great big story and the language of cannabis in its historical, political and scientific terms, so you can make educated decisions about the medicine you choose to ingest.

Hello my friends.

You’re on this cannabis journey with me. Know it or not, cannabis is about to become a prominent tool in our daily kit. And you’re going to be as gobsmacked as I when you discover all the naughty surrounding it for the past 100 years.

I don’t know how people in power can behave so badly to their own societies… but history tells that story over and over again. And you know meeee… I just wanna give the historical finger to old white guys in particular.  Because, historically speaking, it ain’t old white WOMEN doin this to the world…

I need to make it perfectly clear right up front that I am not a doctor. I am on this cannabis journey to find out why this plant made such a difference in how I felt and performed and responded and reacted to life. All of the common emotional trips and physical illnesses that every human goes through. After studying the subject for years on my own, I can have a decent dialogue with a medical professional about it but that’s about it. I wouldn’t dare try to prescribe cannabinoid compounds for certain diseases. But I do want to describe what cannabis experts are saying and what their patients are reporting as they discover it’s benefits to their issues.

I’ll tell you right now that nobody is using the same language outside your own bubble.

The doctors and scientists talk about it in one way, the dispensaries use other language, CBD shops are different still selling questionable products, the patients aren’t sure what to say, and the advocates like myself are just trying to help, but are all too often left alone to figure it out.

There are so many aspects to this product that we’ve been refused… and incarcerated for using, for 100 years.

But think of the thousands of years it was used before THAT! Every major religion used cannabis in their holy ceremonies. Every shaman used cannabis to heal. Every medical doctor and pharmacist used it before early 1900s. Every industry was bolstered by products from cannabis… lets just start at rope and oil.

It is spoken of tenderly in ancient Chinese as well as Victorian pharmacopeias.

There would be no white people on this continent without it…

All it took was the corrupt plans of just a few American oligarchs to ruin world wide use around the planet we live on. It’s devastating to live and traumatic to think of fixing it.

But fix it we must. We can find balance and meaning and joy together. We do not have to succumb to the control of just a few corrupt old white men. And if you think I’m just callin out old white men… I am. Those at the top of world corporations who own everything. The ones pullin the strings. 

Why hasn’t cannabis been fully legalized since President Biden took office? It would calm society down, ease their pain, and pay for every single 3 Trillion Dollar Package we’d ever want!! Science long ago proved the medicinal value of this plant and if you check the Dow on hemp… you’ll see the historical facts for yourselves in the complete industry.

I’m trying to make it easier for you to understand how this plant will help you… but LOwerd the language keeps changing and the facts keep adding up!

I have a manuscript written about the Language of Cannabis but I keep putting off publication… I had to step back and get some perspective. It’s truly the Wild Wild West of cannabis throughout this country and scientists are still restrained from studying the positive effects of cannabis because of it’s schedule 1 rating.

That schedule 1 cannabis classification was corrupt to begin with and the government knows it. Let me refer you to the government patent on cannabis #6630507.  It basically admits that cannabis can be used to treat issues related to oxidative stress, like:  stroke, autoimmune disorders (hello arthritis, IBS, and Fibro), age-related issues, and more. There’s a link in my show notes to PubChem about it. You can check it out conveniently there.

I want to tell you about what I’ve found out.  This may be a life lesson: The more I learn the less I know. I’ve been studying for over five years with doctors and scientists from my own armchair. I’ve taken courses and classes and studied, and I’m in weekly conferences with world renowned cannabis scientists… daily! It’s intense.

I am a very humbled advocate member of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians. I turn to this professional medical society for guidance and the latest chemical news about cannabis. Please see the link on my show notes and don’t hesitate to contact any of them for help. In fact, you can tell them Honey sentcha!

Now being a fly on the wall in this revered cluster of mega minds in itself is thrilling, because they have their hand on the pulse of medicine and their patients at the same time.

I’ve learned an awful lot so my book will condense this information to save you time understanding the most important cannabis fundamentals in a very easy way. Then you’ll be able to make strategical decisions for your issues and recognize products of quality by their verification standards. You’ll know what to buy and what NOT to buy!

I wanna say all that in a way that is easily digestible, factual and practicable.

But along the way… I’m going to continue interviewing everyday people like cannabis nurses and doctors and poet warrior hero’s.

I’m going to tell you about other podcasts I heard and the important relative news they bring… like Cannabis Helps Dementia Podcast. They have a personal story that propelled them into this arena and have been interviewing all kinds of cannabis doctors on their show with wonderful news. Look for Cannabis Helps Dementia wherever you listen to podcasts. The doctors say it so much better than I;)

I’m going to give you PSA’s to live by as I learn how to change my own thinking and habits that affect others and our planet the wrong way. I believe in Public Service Announcements and used to see them on t.v. when I was a kid. The closest thing now is a good preachin from the pulpit. But that isn’t science. People need to be reminded of kindness and goodness on a daily basis because of the negative impact from bombardment of hate and misinformation from all varieties of communication these days. All the social media that influences. We really need to be more careful about our own personal input. What we allow into the mind. Some of that shit is just awful. And mostly targeting women violently. I can’t live in that state of mind with all that fear dictating my serotonin levels. Good Input is critical. So here’s today’s PSA:

TURN OFF THE WATER WHEN YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH! See? That’s simple! And how many of us stand there in front of the open double wide frig doors with a goofy look on our faces while pondering what we’re hungry for from the not-so-cold-anymore goodybox!?! Well here: sing this little ditty at the door while you think about it:  “Decide BEFORE You Open The Door”.

Did I mention that I just took a course about my own Carbon Footprint? Did I tell you that it changed how I think and respond about my planet overnight? Did I mention that I think more highly of myself now that I’m Eco Conscience? Did I mention that I pat myself on the back several times a day now because I know that tiny effort in my own home makes a difference? Do you see the confidence building part of this? Patting myself on the back? When’s the last time you did THAT? It’s been a grueling pandemic for so many people. Any kind of love we can muster for ourselves is in dire need. Our collective attitude has become so hostile and unforgiving.

I found out about Hebah Saddique in my favorite cannabis business spot through my tribe on LinkedIn. 

The second I saw her site, I had to take her course. It is a perfect compliment to the message I’ve been trying to get out through my Dear Grocer Letter… I’ve been asking the box stores in my neighborhood to find tree-paper replacements for our community to buy. You can download it for free on my site at cannabaverum.com too.

But I really needed personal training on the facts in a concise way that made solutions for recovery clear… or the weight of the depressing facts were just going to crush our spirits to actually DO anything.

I needed a way that’s simple for me and could show me how to be a real contribution to my world… reversing years of damage to our planet. It ain’t easy changing a 68 year old ingrained unchecked habit. But this program did. Overnight.

The course at GreenTakeover.com should be presented in every grade level of school, every year… so that these facts and this concept becomes ingrained in us. Every college and university should have mandatory CO2 emissions classes to teach and remind people how to live on this planet respectfully. You don’t need to try to save the planet by yourself.  Just do something nice for it in your own bubble.

I’m calling on all those with the slightest conscience for helping the problems of our planet and the people who live here, in every day ways that are NO SACRIFICE to your Way of Life. This is easy, my friends.

Every single morning and night, I don’t neeeeed to listen to the water run while I stand there brushing my teeth! I don’t neeeeeeed to let the energy escape from the frig for 3 minutes while I ponder the taste of my food choices! But when you understand how this shockingly ties into the devastation to people of color all around the world, and understand how your conscious living could help everyone, it’s so much more meaningful.

We can do this…. Together we can do this. Our planet is resilient and I think you already know that humans and animals are too. Please visit Hebbah Saddique to understand how you can make a huge change in your thinking and our world at GreenTakeover.com

The process of taking your records with your symptoms and diagnosis to a cannabis specialist can lead you to the correct cannabinoid therapy for your best results. Otherwise, it just your own guinea pig looking for answers without any foundational knowledge or ability to determine the best choices, Unless otherwise proven by a reputable third party lab test. Please be advised that all street weed is contaminated.

It may do grave harm to a patient with a delicate immune system. I challenge you to check the veracity of my statements in each episode by checking the medical citations posted on my blog. The Cannaba verum.com website.

Cannaba Verum is Latin for Cannabis Truth. Sourcing factual information about cannabis hasn’t always been easy for a variety of reasons. However now because of modern innovations, it is. My sources are from leaders in cannabis science like:

Roger Adams, U.S. Organic Chemist who isolated the structure of CBD,

Raphael Mechoulam, Israeli Organic Chemist who isolated the structure of THC,

Ethan Russo, Dir R&D International Cannabis and Cannabinoids Institute

Dustin Sulak, DO – my favorite doctor at healer.com, teaching the art of Cannabis Healing to the world, and other industry greats like:

Rev. Dr. Kymron DeCesare, Ed Rosenthal, Jack Herer, Michael Backes, and Michael Pollen and so many more… plus I use classical sites like: PubMed.com, JAMA.com, ResearchGate.com. I listen to several daily podcasts to keep up with the latest cannabis news across the nation and throughout the world like:  The Great Shea Gunther at MJTodayDaily.com and MarijuanaMoment.net.  I trust the CBDProject.org and CannabisScienceTech.com.

PS: Helping society get past the fear of using cannabis will be a lifelong journey for me. This industry is just opening up and both patients and doctors are completely cannabis naive and need help understanding where to turn for trustworthy information. If you need help opening that cannabis discussion with your family doctor,  please reach out and grab the Dear Doctor Letter I wrote for this exact purpose. It will explain your decision to try cannabis and ask for their help in monitoring your labs and progress. It will also show them where they can find medical research on the subject of your diagnosis and the effects of cannabis. You’ll find that letter at: CannabaVerum.com.
