Hello my name is Miss Teddi, ABQ’s very own Raw Cannabis Juicing Lady. I have been following the work of Dr. Courtney circa 2010 and have been juicing Raw Cannabis for over 2 years now.
Kristen Petskuski was the first patient healed of malignant tumors with Dr. Courtney’s Raw Cannabis in 2012. This spurred important institutions such as the National Cancer Institute to recognize the anti-tumor properties of cannabinoids. It has also been found that Raw Cannabis has a multitude of nutritional value as well.
“Labs, scientists and researchers across the world are looking into the benefits of Raw Cannabis”.
In the last 6 years we have only just began to understand the wonders of Raw Cannabis as an herbal remedy for healing and as a green vegetable. We have also learned the there are more than 480 natural components within the cannabis plant. THC is the most known of these, but It is the lesser known components of CBD and THCA found in the leaves and trichrome covered flowers of the raw plant that deliver the nutritional and therapeutic punch.
Consuming Raw Cannabis in its raw form is the only way to enjoy all the benefits of the plant but when cannabis is ripe or heated it loses the anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and anti-proliferative (the anti-cancerous) properties of cannabinoids. Remember when you heat up a
vegetable it loses a great deal of its nutrients and enzymes beneficial to your health.
“By definition Raw Cannabis is a vegetable and it also loses a great deal of its nutritional value when heated”.
We benefit from Raw Cannabis because it comes along with a concentrated source of nutrients that can boost your energy. It’s loaded with anti-oxidants, a perfect balance of omega 3 and omega 6, and potent anti-inflammatory properties which can help fight off a host of illnesses and simple aches and pains.
In this form much of the “high” is lost, but gained is the protein and vegetable matter when, used as a dietary supplement; you can lose weight, control your blood sugar, blood pressure, and much more. It just makes for a better quality of life.
There are however a few things one must look out for, Dr. Courtney cautions people with kidney or gallbladder problems that Raw Cannabis
may pose a risk. He also would not recommend Raw Cannabis for people with hypercalciuria type two, enteric hyperoxaluria, or primary hyperoxaluria.
Also anyone taking blood thinning drugs such as coumadin or if you are taking medication that can be blocked by grapefruit or pomegranate juice you should advise your doctor that your considering a Raw Cannabis regimen.
Most leafy greens contain a high amount of vitamin k which can prevent the liver from metabolizing such drugs and Raw Cannabis can have this effect as well.
A good friend of mine and fellow MCP, Pam McKay also uses Raw Cannabis and told me, “I was having terrible neuropathy in my legs and was suffering from foot cramps.
When I began juicing first thing in the morning the neuropathy subsided as well as the foot cramping and it just helped me feel better, it is a great way to start your day. Without having full access to Raw Cannabis or the Canna juice from Verdes some of my symptoms have returned. I look forward to getting my PPL and having my own grow simply for the purpose of having my raw cannabis”.
I introduced my dad, Ted Thompson, to juicing shortly after he became MCP at age 81. It was his blood, but 3 months into juicing his blood sugars are now testing below 150 and he tells me, “I can’t explain how it works or what it does all I know is it makes me feel better and I won’t stop using the canna cubes from Verdes”.
My dear husband, Rex Kohr, started juicing shortly after I did. He told me he didn’t think it was doing anything that he could notice so he stopped juicing. After only 2 weeks of him not juicing is when he could tell a difference.
Once again I’m told I don’t know how to explain what it does, all I know is I feel much better when using Raw Cannabis. Rex also states he’s happy that he’s married to the creator of over 50 treats made with Raw Cannabis which makes using Raw Cannabis a pleasure to drink and eat. He might be a little bias but you will be able to judge for yourselves when my book of Raw Cannabis treats comes out in the summer of 2017!
As for me I could write a book on how Raw Cannabis has changed my life but I’ll keep it simple, I have been using it both as a dietary supplement and as a herbal healing ready for 2 years. I suffer from fibromyalgia, chronic pain, diabetes and the list goes on.
Raw Cannabis has given me my life back; I have lost over 100 lbs., and reduced from 28 pharmaceuticals down to only 3. Before juicing, the pain to smile or to give a hug kept me from doing either but now I’m able to do it often.
Raw Cannabis is now a major part of my life I’m actually living for the first time in a long time and I’m loving every part of my life. I’m now a big advocate for Raw Cannabis. I can’t imagine my life without Raw Cannabis in it. I’m also an educator and consultant on Raw Cannabis, and currently excepting contracts.

I think he was onto something there. When juicing with a wheat grass juicier, it is recommended for those using large amounts of leaf. However, I have found that a blender is better to use, its quicker, easier, and according to Dr. Courtney a blender is preferred for juicing as you recover closer to 100% of what you put in.
You should use cannabis leaves and small buds that are well into flower. Buds with a higher concentration of CBD’s than leaves but using both together is quite beneficial. Most don’t have the resources to do this but I have found through experience that you can mix leaves from plants in its vegetative state with your flowering leaves and a few buds to stretch your juice quite effective. It works as both a dietary supplement and a healing supplement.
Raw Cannabis can be kept in an air tight baggy in the refrigerator for up to a week. Do not freeze your raw matter It will cause it to lose its enzymes. Frozen canna cubes though, can last up to 2 to 4 months.

I hope ya’ll go buy my book when it comes out. Then you can enjoy many treats along with achieving a healthier lifestyle. My juicing website will be up and running soon but if you have any questions you can find me on Facebook, Twitter or by emailing me at missteddisjuicing@gmail.com.
Thank You ALL,
Miss Teddi
