[00:00:00] Justin Benton: Welcome back everybody to the miracle plan podcast, where we talk about this miracle plant with so many names and how it helps people in
so many extraordinary ways today we're broadcasting live on clubhouse. Where we can have people come in and ask their questions and give answers to them.
And it's just an incredible platform. That's allowed us to collaborate and communicate in and reach out and connect with so many people. That number one are cannabis and hemp, enthusiastic, but are also cannabis and hemp experts. And it's just been a beautiful meeting of the minds and people sharing their experiences and sharing their resources and sharing their stories.
And just so grateful to have my co-host and producer here, Dan, with us, Dan, the man. And we're just going to talk a little bit more about, a little bit more about the science and what a, why all seasons is not created equal. [00:01:00] And Dan, thanks for being here. I know you're a birthday boy, and I'm glad we were able to jump on here earlier in the morning.
Dan Humiston: oh, I'm always glad to join him. Sorry. I missed you yesterday. But looking forward to talking today.
Justin Benton: absolutely. I know there's a lot of confusion about CBD and hemp, and there's a lot of different people saying a lot of different things and some of the basics just to give a flat line foundation for people there's low. This plant has been used medicinally for 8,000 years, documented, written in medical books and in the orient.
And so that's the first kind of baseline. So when people talk about, alternative medicine, when they're speaking to plant-based medicine like hemp and cannabis and CBD, it's actually reverse because it's been around longer than anything. And it's only that modern medicine is really the alternative medicine to what had been working for millennium.
And number two, that there's evidence. And we've been able to trace back that this plant and our species have dated back [00:02:00] 30,000 years. And so we have been evolving with this plant over 30,000 years. And in that time period and in the infinite wisdom of the universe or whatever it is that you believe that we have developed in our bodies, something called an endo cannabinoid system.
Now this endo cannabinoid system was recently discovered only about 30 years ago in the 1990s. Did we really understand what the endocannabinoid system was? And when we found this endocannabinoid system, it really was a breakthrough for understanding how this plant. With all of its cannabinoids interacts with our bodies.
And so we're going to focus a little bit on that today.
and just break it down as simply as we can. The most simple way we can say it is look, our body has an endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is responsible. For [00:03:00] balancing all other systems in the body. So it's like the puppet master and it's making sure that all the levers and all the strings and everything's working appropriately and so long as the endocannabinoid system is fully supplemented with cannabinoids.
Like CBD and CBG and all the other cannabinoids there's over a hundred. Then all other systems, if they're out of balance can be brought back to balance whether it's hormonal or whether it's endocrine system skeletal, all of those things can be helped to be brought back to balance when you have a fully supplemented and don't cannabinoid system.
How do you fully supplement an endocannabinoid system? First and foremost, which a lot of people don't know is that our own body makes cannabinoids, which is crazy when you think about it. And so there's a plant out there that makes cannabinoids that are the same thing that our body makes.
Now we have different names for those cannabinoids. When the plant makes them it's called a [00:04:00] phyto cannabinoid. With a pH and when our body makes it's called an endocannabinoid. So when our body makes CBD, we have named it two dash AIG. It's a really long word. And when the, when a plant makes CBD it's called cannabidiol or CBD is the short term for it.
And so regardless if our body makes it, or if we get it from a plant, those are the two ways that we can supplement our body and make sure that our endocannabinoid system is fully stocked. With all the cannabinoids that it needs to do its job to balance all the other parts of the body. Now that in and of itself, there's, I would estimate probably let's just say in the United States, maybe 5% of the country knows what I just said. And that includes doctors, which is a little sad, but. That's why we have podcasts. That's why we have clubhouse and that's why we go to conferences now that the world's opening back up, [00:05:00] that we can continue to have this dialogue. And I have met so many wonderful doctors and researchers on clubhouse and at conferences, which was really the only way in the last year and a half.
We haven't really been able to. But just really thankful for that. So did that explanation makes sense to you, Dan? Or do you have any questions? I try to make it as simple as I can.
Dan Humiston: and it's good to make them simple for me because , I needed it really watered down, but I'll tell you what, that 30,000 years of evolution. Just makes so much sense to me because everything works together in nature and there's symbiotic relationship. That to me is really powerful.
It's the idea that we grew up together with this plant. And even though it's been what, 75 yearswhere , prohibition has made it so that we don't have access to it, but. 30,000 years prior to that, it was a main part of our existence.
We probably will never knowexactly how integrated is because there's trillions of things going on in our body, but you can't discount it. That's the one thing I think you just can't say, oh, [00:06:00] it's got nothing to do with us because there's just too much evidence,
Justin Benton: absolutely. And I'm glad you brought up the prohibition because that is a very poignant. Point in our human existence. So in 1937, they passed the marijuana tax act with an H and they banned marijuana and made it illegal. And then they also ban hemp and then they taxed it so much that you couldn't really grow hemp.
But in 1942, they brought it back for victory for him because we needed him for a rope and for sales and things in world war two. And then after world war two was over in 1945, they made it illegal again. But here's what happened in that 75 year window and that 75 year window, we developed all of these and all of these auto-immune diseases.
They didn't have a rheumatoid arthritis in world war II. It was just, in the thirties and the forties, they didn't have, neuropathy they didn't have all of these different diseases. And so we started to do some research. We in the collective, we in the, all of us that are out there [00:07:00] in the networks, trying to understand our endocannabinoid system, try to understand these auto-immune diseases.
Obviously I was brought to this plant led to this plant because I was trying to solve the severe autoimmune disease of autism with my son. And when we were digging into researching and looking for answers, we found that so back in 1936 before they passed the bill we would feed our livestock hemp.
Very common hemp pellets, things like that that would be growing in the fields as well. The chickens would eat it. You would feed it to the cows and to the livestock and the pigs. And it was nutritious, it was healthy. It was growing raw. It would grow wild and you would also grow it yourself.
And it was, they call it the green Buffalo, because it has over 50,000 uses. When you fed hemp to. Your animals there. That was great for them. It was great. And all animals have endocannabinoid systems, not just, and so it was great for them and it was, they were healthy [00:08:00] and strong. And so when the, we would produce milk, which was also, really big back in those early nineties, hundreds in the milk in the cheese and the eggs, even.
So they were feed hemp to hae the chickens. And there's research showing that if you were feeding hemp pellets to chickens, That one egg would have 120 milligrams of CBD in it, which meant our system. We were being replenished by the ways, the livestock and the things that we were eating from the farm through the animals that were eating it.
What happened in 1937 is poof it's gone. Dr. Ethan Russo in the early two thousands, when they were jumping through all the FDA who the FDA hoops to Get up a dialects, which is basically a synthetic version of CBD for children, which goes for $32,000 a year for seizures. But when they jumped through the hoops to get that they Dr.
Ethan Russo, who's a pioneer he discovered what's called the endo cannabinoid deficiency syndrome and what that his research has led to, and it's all published and you can look it [00:09:00] up. Is he believes, and he has proven that all diseases and elements can be linked to a lack of a fully supplemented endocannabinoid system.
Hence, all of the other auto-immune diseases that we talked about is because you can link it to the fact that those persons endocannabinoid systems were not fully supplemented. They were not getting enough cannabinoids. Now you don't have to just get cannabinoids like CBD from. Hemp or cannabis, you can also get it from broccoli and kale and 25 other fruits and vegetables.
It is a common thing. It just happens to be when you consume these CBD and these cannabinoids from this hemp plant, it has such a perfect balance of cannabinoids and these things called flavonoids. I cannot believe in a, which has been proven to be 30 times more effective than aspirin for pain and inflammation.
And it has these things like turpines, which are the smells of the plant, which have things like beta careful language, also interacts with the endocannabinoid system and helps with [00:10:00] pain and inflammation on its own. It's just this perfect plant for us. As far as I'm concerned of the way I look at it is this plant and us humans.
We're a DNA match. We are sisters from another mother, brother from another mother as well. And Yeah,
That's the thing about this plant. And as you were saying earlier, Dan is there's going to be more and more research and there has been more and more research. If you go to pub med.gov, there's a little search box up there and type in CBD or type in CBDA.
Cause that's what we're all about is the raw whole plant and do their research and type in the cannabinoid or the type in an ailment. And you'll see hundreds, if not thousands of research papers out there. Which is really exciting. And now that we're starting to lift restrictions federally and all these different, 40 states in the U S.
And as long as well as other countries like Israel there's just an incredible amount of data coming in and the scientists and although they're going to go very molecule by molecule and they're going to do their things that are repeatable, [00:11:00] the scientific method and all that. And double-blind placebo tests are all coming.
End of the day, some of us who go to the car lot, we just want to go take the car for a test drive, push the gas pedal and have it, put our, pull our head back in the seat. Then some people want to look under the hood and see how the car brain works. And I know people might not know what a carburetor is, but anyway, so back in the day.
And at the end of the day we've seen the results for our family. We've seen the results for our clients, and we do like to understand them, but I don't need any more proof. I don't need any more research. I don't need any more science, but for those that do we continue to learn. And for those doctors and researchers that need it to get that stamp of approval so we can make that shift.
And at least here in the U S and especially around the world so that the doctors can be educated and understand that this plant does have the science and that all the stigma and all of the demonization of the plant really was quite a slant to the human race. So I know that I said a mouthful.
Dan, did you have anything to
[00:12:00] Dan Humiston: no, I was just, I was gonna add one, one piece to that. And you going back to the, this 30,000 year relationship that we have with the plant. I'll give you a story. Yesterday. I went on a hike andone of my daughters and I both started sneezing. , now we couldn't see any visible allergy sometimes you see all the Powell and float and we couldn't see anything, but there was something in the air that was causing us to sneeze.
We were having an allergic reaction and it got me thinking that at one point. In the world, this plant was growing wild. It was a pretty dominant plant. Even before agriculture. It was really in abundance throughout the world. And again, we grew up with this plant and when it flowers or when any plant there there's stuff that we can't see, but we're breathing it in and.
You don't even know how this affects us and when prohibition hit and there, it wasn't part of our agricultural cycle anymore. It wasn't a plant that was [00:13:00] being produced , even in the wild it was being destroyed. So now we're not breathing it inwe're certainly not including it into our livestock.
And it's being removed completely. Who's to say that this wasn't. The root cause of a a lot of the ailments that we're dealing with today.
Justin Benton: literally it's funny that you bring that up because Paul J Von Hartmann. Who is just a brilliant cannabis pioneer. I met him on a clubhouse. I tried to ping him just now, but he has his notifications off. But he is talking about how making cannabis Yeah.
he's putting some documents for that.
Basically. It's a national security it's its food. In order to have a food source and an energy source, which hemp can be both. That you, it basically needs to be grown wild without restriction. And that would just get rid of all of the rules possible. And so I'll have him on one of these times, just speak about it deeply.
But one of the things that I thought was very interesting that I hadn't heard again, this is because the clubhouse, and this [00:14:00] is just a great thing, a great way to meet people is that. He talked about that even if we were to clean up our act and, as far as climate change and as far as you know what we're doing and how we're impacting the world and the pollution, he said, even if we were to clean it up right away right now, snap, our fingers and everybody was in line and everything was green and everything was great.
That it would actually be a bad thing if we did it too fast because we've the pollution right now is actually acting as some type of ozone. And the only way to clear up and strengthen the ozone in an efficient way that would allow us not to be, cooked is the release of terpene. And so his research is demonstrating that literally the solution to cleaning up the air and cleaning up the planet.
The only solution, the [00:15:00] best solution by far bar, none is by growing wild cannabis everywhere. And that will release enough turpines to strengthen the ozone, to clean it up. That when we do get rid of all the carbon and we do get rid of all of the pollution that we'd have a strong enough atmosphere that we as humans wouldn't be negatively affected.
So he's got he's again, like I said, there's incredible conversations going on and incredibly brilliant people that have been working with this plant for decades and have the research. And they're speaking in front of Congress and the white house. And like I said, there's a lot of rabbit holes. You can go down with this plan.
And that's why I try to keep it into bite size morsels, but, sometimes I just have access to so much information because I'm so curious and that sometimes I try to, throw out these little nuggets about this plan. But again, to get back to the title and the topic for today, which is why all CBD is not created equal is this plant.
[00:16:00] And we have been, symbiotic for 30,000 years the, and the way that we've consumed it it's always been, how do we consume plants? So we eat the plants. And so that is the biggest difference when, what type of products that we provide at one-on-one CPD is plants that are based on raw cold press juicing.
And so it's very rare probably around 99% of the other companies. They use the old model of cannabis extraction and processing, which is using it through heat or through isolation, or do nature during the plant and turning CBDA into CBD. And that's just how we've always done it. As far as the THC was concerned, because you have to turn THCA, which is the natural form of THC in the plant, the acidic form.
And you have to turn it, you have to burn off that a. Burn off that acid to turn it into the Delta and I to experience the psychoactive effect. Now that makes a lot of sense if you're looking for those psychoactive effects, but if you're looking for the health [00:17:00] effects, I want to leave the plant exactly.
As mother nature grew it, and we've gained it back cannabis to around 2 million years on this planet. So all CBD is certainly not created equal. Now. That's what beliefs and our systems and our research and our clients and our family have seen works best for them. But then there's also, what about all the other CBD products out there?
You can go on Amazon and, buy probably 5,000 milligrams of CBD for 20 bucks or something who knows. And who knows if it's actually in there or not. It's really the wild west on Amazon. You can buy CBD at gas stations, for a thousand milligrams for 20 bucks with some cool packaging.
So why, what is the difference? How can someone tell the difference? There's two ways you could go about it, right? Number one, you can just try a whole bunch of CBD and find the one that works for you, and maybe you'll get lucky. And the first couple will be something that works great. The second way is to do your research and what is do your research include?
Of course it includes talking to friends and family and includes, looking at reviews [00:18:00] online. It includes talking to reaching out to the cust to the company and talking with them about how they make their products. What's their cos look like, and those are called certificates of analysis would show exactly what's in their products.
So how much cannabinoids, how much terpene it also sees it, make sure there isn't any pesticides. There isn't any heavy metals and things like that. So those are the ways that you can do it. Another way also is to see if who you identify with when you hear the story of the company, how they were made and who are the people and what are they about?
Those would be the ways that. That I would recommend for you finding a product that works best for you. So how does that sound, Dan? Is that something that
Dan Humiston: I think yeah, a couple of things that I would add to that, that you were, are too humble to add too, but I think . From everything that I've heard. I think the process that use the cold press process is just deliver so much more benefit than other methods. And especially the fact that it's the entire spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes and [00:19:00] everything remains in place.
. I think that's essential, especially if we go back to discuss some of the things that we talked about earlier in the show, how, this evolution process where you can't say that this one terpene or this one can a minor cannabinoid that we don't even know about, isn't having an influence because it affects this other one it's all together.
I would say that is one piece of the puzzle that's really important. Any other one is, I think if the. Company is confident in their product. They're not afraid to send out a free sample or talk to you on a one-on-one basis. And I think that's really essential.
And if, if you're going on Amazon and the faceless people behind , some of the brands, I'm not saying , any of them are bad. I'm just saying . There's a little bit more of a relationship especially at this stage in the development of CBD you want to have with your provider.
And if they're confident enough in their product to talk to you about it on the phone or send you out a free sample. I think that says a lot. Again you're too humble to say that, but I know you guys are real proponents of that.
[00:20:00] Justin Benton: Yeah and and I appreciate you bringing that up. And the proof is in the pudding and because of what this miracle plant did for our family and our son, it really is our mission to pay it forward. And by paying it forward, it's through education, like doing podcasts like this, it's through teaching people about this planet.
It's about giving access. To this product. So if anybody listening wants to try the product for free, we have a link that you can go to. It's just www dot. Free chill, cbd.com and you can get a product mailed to you for you to see for yourself. The proof truly is in the pudding. The only thing we ask is that if you do take us up on that free offer, that you do give it a fair shake and buy a fair shake.
That means you take it at least twice a day, at least half a dropper to a full dropper under the tongue for five minutes until the bottle's gone. And let us know your story. And we love hearing the stories and we love seeing the reviews because there are people that are very confused and there are people that are in a lot of pain or have a very severe health element with themselves or [00:21:00] a loved one.
And this product, this plant, when it's provided in its most natural truest form is going to be able to offer them some sort of relief. And in many cases, a lot of relief. And especially when it comes to pain, pain is the simplest thing. To measure, right? You have a scale of one to 10, if I'm in an eight or a nine out of 10, and I take a product that's natural and good for me, but for my liver and heart and my pain goes down to a one or a two, or even a zero.
That is not something that you can fake. There's no placebo effect when it comes to pain. And so that again is why I would we just want to teach people about it. And the other mission that we have is. We, if you, when you request that free product, if you put in the notes if you say I want a free hemp seeds, we'll mail you some free hemp seeds, and we have some courses in some videos that will show you how to grow hemp in your backyard.
And [00:22:00] it's an amazing experience to grow hemp. Cannabis and it's completely legal in all 50 states. And you can add it into your morning juice. We recommend omega juicers and we with your carrot and celery or whatever else you put in, and it can be a part of your daily supplementation of your own endocannabinoid system.
You don't have to buy it from us. You can make it yourself. If you, for whatever reason, don't have a green thumb or whatever the circumstances are. And you can't grow it or don't want to grow it. You can buy a product like ours, which is basically the same thing as juicing the plant, keeping the whole plant in its raw CBDA form.
So there you have it, Dan that's about all I have for the show. Do you have any other final comments or any of the thing we should
On before we move on?
Dan Humiston: Just follow up on that last point is there's you did a couple of great episodes on growing hemp in your backyard and juicing. And so , if anybody's interested in learning more about that, just go back. I think it was episode 31 growing hemp in your backyard and episode 32 don't take CBD, which [00:23:00] is funny title, but both of those are really good. If you want to learn more about just adding happen in your garden, it sounds like a pretty fun process. I have to admit.I don't have a garden, but it sounds like if I was a gardener, it'd be fun.
Justin Benton: Yeah. It's I always say if you can grow tomatoes, you can grow hand and they're just a little bit more fun. Have a relationship with this plan. Yeah, I'd definitely go check out the podcast that apple or Spotify or wherever you check out your podcast, we would really appreciate reviews and sharing this podcast with people that you think would find value in learning about this endocannabinoid system and learning about CBD.
And we always welcome any questions that you can shoot us an email at info at 1 0 1. Cbd.org or G and yeah, I just want to thank everybody for coming in listening and just being a part of this movement, because we are on a mission to heal the world where you're looking to reach 1 billion people by 2025 through education products, access sharing our [00:24:00] stories and hemp seeds.
Around the world. So at the end of every show, we always unmute our mix. It's just you and me today, Dan, but you know what we can do fine. And we say heal the world at the end of every meeting and at the end of every podcast, because that really is our mission is to pay it forward, heal the world, help educate people about this misunderstood plant and just give people access to it and break through the barriers and breakthrough.
Anything that's holding them back because there is a lot of people out there that are in pain or are struggling with stress or mental health or sleep issues or autoimmune diseases. And this plant will and can help them. And also helps people empower themselves to take back control of their own health and the things that we eat and consume, and the things that we allow into our mouth and allow into our ears and our brains.
And we've seen amazing stories that this plant is like the. Taking the pill at that Alice in Wonderland that kind of opens people up. With that on the count of three, we're going to say heal the world because that's our mission. So one, [00:25:00] three
Dan Humiston: hello world.
Justin Benton: All right. Thanks everybody for stopping in.
We'll see you next week. We're live Saturday 10:00 AM Pacific on clubhouse. Make it a great week. Make it a great weekend and we'll see you then. Thanks everybody for coming by.
