Cannabis Is Food: Raw, Not Heated (ebook)

You don't smoke it. You eat it.

Raw cannabis doesn't get you high. The plant makes its cannabinoids as acids — THCA, CBDA, CBGA — and it's heat that turns them into THC. Eaten raw, those acids stay intact. Paired with hemp seed, they may be supplying something the modern diet has been missing for nearly a century.

Cannabis Is Food is about the endocannabinoid system — the network your body uses to keep pain, sleep, mood, appetite, and metabolism in balance. Decades of research have studied it almost entirely as a drug target. This book asks the question that research skipped: what does it eat?

Inside:

• Why a food disappeared from the human diet in 1937 — for reasons that had nothing to do with nutrition
• How hemp seed lines up with human breast milk on the nutrients most relevant to the ECS
• The hypothesis that raw cannabis acids act as candidate vitamins for the ECS — and the one piece of evidence still needed to settle it
• The one kitchen rule that matters: add it after the heat, like fresh basil
• Sourcing, costs, a simple daily routine, and recipes from chocolate hemp-seed milk to steel-cut oatmeal
• A troubleshooting guide connecting common chronic conditions to the ECS

Written by Jeffrey Benjamin with Keith Floyd, and grounded in their eight-paper research series. Where the science is still a hypothesis, the book tells you so.
