Why You Should Eat Your Weed Seeds?

Cannabis is a superfood. Its seeds, some experts claim, can end world hunger. While you can buy seeds for planting at most any marijuana dispensary Washington DC. has, it is better, and cheaper, to gather for eating from friends and loved ones. Seeded weed is rife in Washington D.C. Many home growers accidentally pollinate. Further, most unlicensed bud, off the street, comes seeded. 

Seedy weed is dirty. Low grade. Poor quality. For many, it is unfit for smoking, since potency in seeded flower is notably less. However, it does redeem itself. Seeds are highly nutritious, making them an ideal food source when seedy bud is plentiful. Hemp seeds are also abundant. More affordable too, and available in larger quantities. Neither buzz, so there is no worry of that.

Benefits of Cannabis Seeds

Many studies now prove the health benefits of cannabis. It treats most illnesses and their symptoms effectively. Cannabinoids are medically valuable in the treatment of all manner of issues, including tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is what stones you out. Seeds are rich in cannabinoids, but in its raw, unheated form, THC is non-psychoactive. Eating it will never make you buzz. Instead, it will:  

• Provide You With Gamma-Linolenic Acid

Gamma-linolenic acid, or GLA, is a prostaglandin protein. The U.S. National Library of Medicine tells us that prostaglandins regulate temperature, treat inflammation, and perform other duties essential for health. They manage hormones. They treat ADHD, breast pain, diabetes and related neuropathy, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, and more. They are plentiful in weed seeds. 

• Improve Your Mobility

Studies aplenty show how consuming seeds can treat rheumatoid arthritis and other joint- and mobility-related pain. A study in the U.S. National Library of Medicine found hemp seed oil killing fibroblast-like synovial cells, called MH7A, in large doses. MH7A is always high in arthritic patients. It triggers pain, inflammation, and is a direct cause of mobility loss associated with this disease. 

• Help You Lose Weight

Weed aids weight loss in a few ways. It boosts metabolism, so you burn more calories. It motivates exercise. It reduces cravings for sugar and, according to the University of Michigan, seeds are high in fiber. This regulates fullness and helps to keep you satiated longer. In so doing, you eat less. It also maintains homeostasis, which helps maintain a more regular weight. 

• Better Your Digestive Health

Weed seeds are bulky. Bulky enough to help regulate gastrointestinal health. Further, these seeds are so nutritious, they act as natural probiotics with a range of immune benefits. As such, you get a natural laxative, ideal for keeping the bowels moving. A study in the U.S. National Library of Medicine found hemp seeds relieving gut issues most effectively and bettering digestive health. 

• Support The Health Of Your Heart 

Fiber, along with protein and fat, builds heart tissue. As the U.S. National Library of Medicine explains, cannabis seeds offer plenty of that. More. Plenty studies, both animal and human, show these seeds lowering high blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health. Specifically, they lower harmful LDL and increase healthy HDL levels instead. They help produce triglycerides too. 

• Enhance The Health Of Your Hair, Nails, And Skin

Cannabis seeds are a rich source of both Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These are crucial for the growth of new skin, hair, and nails. Studies show these seeds treating eczema effectively, as well as other skin issues, like psoriasis and acne. What is more, hair becomes noticeably shinier, more vibrant, as well as thicker, and stronger. Nails too, especially if you also rub seed oil on topically. 

• Help In The Fight Against Cancer

Essential fatty acids, like Omega-3 and Omega-6, also help to mitigate inflammation levels and support the immune system. THC can stop, perhaps even reverse, glioblastoma multiforme, a deadly brain cancer. Studies show it treating even advanced breast cancer. Cannabinoids in seeds inhibit cancer growth, stop metastasis, and even kill some cancer cells in laboratory tests.
