What nutritional value does marijuana have?

There are none.

the seeds are extremely nurtitious. But its a lot of work/space/energy for little food. not worth it. but you can always get high

Nutrition
30–35% of the weight of hempseed is oil containing 80% of the unsaturated essential fatty acids (EFAs), linoleic acid (LA, 55%) and linolenic acid (ALA, 21–25%). These are not manufactured by the body and must be supplied by food. The proportions of linoleic acid and linolenic acid in hempseed oil are perfectly balanced to meet human requirements for EFAs, including gamma-linoleic acid (GLA). Unlike flax oil and others, hempseed oil can be used continuously without developing a deficiency or other imbalance of EFAs. Hemp also contains 31% complete and highly-digestible protein, 1/3 as edestin protein and 2/3 as albumin protein. This protein profile is second only to raw uncooked soybeans (35% vs. 31%), and the amino acid profile is superior to soybean, human milk, and cow's milk, and similar to egg whites.
The ALA contained in plant seed oils by itself is sufficient for nutrition, as your body is capable of converting it into other fatty acids. However, this conversion process is inefficient, and the broader spectrum of omega-3 fatty acids obtained from oily fish is easier for the body to immediately utilize (see Fish and plants as a source of Omega-3).

The ancient chinese would like to difer. You can even make flour from the seeds. Let alone your response was almost immediate, I reread what I posted after it went through and your response was before I finished, so you either read 50% faster than I do (which is already fast) or just spout shit out that you know nothing about.

Nice try.

Depends on how you cook it. (posted above).


You can also you the stalks/fibers to make clothing, rope, paper etc. etc.


You can use the flowers for medicinal purposes, but I think everyone knows how to do that. : D

Why hemp?
Because no other single plant on earth can compete with the nutritional value of hemp.
The nutritive properties of the hemp seed are astounding. Rich in essential fats and oils, the seeds could provide a nutritional boost to a food-culture which mistakenly percieves all fat as a bad thing; which is more and more lacking in the important fats oils; and which is being inundated with downright dangerous fats, oils, and synthetic substitutes. The seeds can be ground into a flour, not unlike other strictly cereal crops like wheat or oats.

Cannabis hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life. No other single plant source provides complete protein in such an easily digestible form, nor has the oils essential to life in as perfect a ratio for human health and vitality.

Hempseed is the highest of any plant in essential fatty acids (EFAs). Hempseed oil is among the lowest in saturated fats at 8% of total oil volume. The oil pressed from hempseed contains 55% lineoleic acid (LA) and 25% linolenic acid (LNA). Only flax oil has more LNA at 58%, but hempseed oil is the highest in total EFAs at 80% of total oil volume.

"These essential fatty acids are responsible for our immune response. In the old country the peasants ate hemp butter. They were more resistant to disease than the nobility." The higher classes wouldn't eat hemp because the poor ate it. --- R. Hamilton, ED.D., Ph.D. Medical Researcher-Biochemist UCLA Emeritus.

LA and LNA are involved in producing life-maintaining energy from food and the movement of that energy throughout the body. EFAs govern growth, vitality and state of mind. LA and LNA are involved in transferring oxygen from the air in the lungs to every cell in the body. They play a part in holding oxygen in the cell membrane where it acts as a barrier to invading viruses and bacteria, neither of which thrive in the presence of oxygen.

The bent molecular shape of the EFAs keeps them from dissolving into each other. They are slippery and will not clog arteries like the sticky, straight-shaped saturated fats (SFs) and the trans-fatty acids (TFAs) in cooking oils and shortenings that are made by subjecting polyunsaturated oils like LA and LNA to high temperatures during the defining process.

LA and LNA possess a slightly negative charge and have a tendency to form very thin surface layers. This proprty is called surface activity, and it provides the power to carry substances like toxins to the surface of the skin, intestinal tract, kidneys, and lungs where they can be removed. These acids' very sensitivity causes them to break down rapidly into toxic compunds when when refined with high heat, or improper storage exposes them to light or air.

Nature provides seeds with an outer shell that safely protects the vital oils and vitamins within from spoilage. It's also a perfectly edible container. Hempseed can be ground into a paste similar to peanut butter only more delicate in flavour. Udo Erasmus, Ph.D. nutritionist says: "hemp butter puts our peanut butter to shame for nutritional value." The ground seeds can be baked into breads, cakes, and casseroles. Hempseed makes a hearty addition to granola bars.

Pioneers in the fields of biochemistry and human nutrition now believe cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and most cancers are really diseases of fatty degeneration caused by the continued over-consumption of SFs and refived vegetable oils that turn EFAs into carcogenic killers. One out of two Americans will die from the effects of CVD, One out of four Americans will die of cancer. Researchers believe cancers erupt when one's immune system response is weakened. And, more Americans are succumbing to immune deficiency diseases than ever before. Promising syudies are now under way using the essential oils to support the immune systems of HIV patients.

The complete protein in hempseed gives the body all the essential amino acids required to maintain health, and provides the necessary kinds and amounts of amino acids the body needs to make human serum albumin and serum globulins like the immune enhancing gamma gobulin antibodies.

The body's ability to resist and recover from illness depends upon how rapidly it can produce massive amounts of antibodies to fend off the initial attack. If the globulin protein starting material is in short supply, the army of antibodies may be too small to prevent the symptoms of sickness from setting in.

The best way to insure the body has enough amino acid material to make the globulins is to eat foods high in globulin proteins. Hempseed protein is 65% globulin edestin plus quantities of albumin (present in all seeds) so it's easily digestable protein is readily available in a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma.

Hempseed was used to treat nutritional deficiencies brought on by tuberculosis, a severe nutrition-blocking disease that causes the body to waste away. (Czechoslovakia Tubercular Nutritional Study, 1955.)

The energy of life is in the whole seed. Hempseed foods taste great and will insure we get enough essential amino acids and essential fatty acids to build strong bodies and immune systems, and to maintain health and vitality.

1/8 tsp salt
Blend all the ingredients in the blender add the water gradually for three minutes. Strain. Leftover pulp can be used in baking, it's high in protein and Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-3 and -6).


Interesting, I'm mildly lactose intollerant. I wonder if it has a lot of calcium, maybe I can add some.

Never think about it as nutritional but the information you gaved are truth. It is the real monography.
I use it as a spiritual enlightment.
Help me to be in contact with all the univers and forget about all the shit of that world. Bush and Olmet should smoke mari instead of taking cocaine.
It would be PEACE ON EARTH

Thanks Octo and AC for the info.... thanks a lot.

As an after-doom plant it's indispensible for the cordage and such you can make from it, also the seeds could be eaten in small amounts to keep people at a healthy level. The hardiness is great also.... and it would be a great stress reliever when people are down because a gang of fat sheeples who got hungry after McDonalds shut down gunned their family to death.

You can't grow two crops of marijuana in one year (for flower tops anyway) Marijuana goes into flowering according to the amount of nightly darkness it is exposed to. Once the daylight hours fall below 13 or so (more for some varieties) it starts it's reproductive cycle. The shorterr the day the faster it flowers.
Some varieties of hemp will flower according to age of the plant but why grow hemp when there are so many added benefits to a nice field of Chronic?

advice: stock up on hemp powder (bought mine on ebay) and spirulina. nutrional facts are outstanding and i take it everyday. i make hemp spirulina pills. google it, lots of info

[link to www.radiationdetox.com]

ps, im not sure if this site has benifits of hemp and spirulina but i think this is the one that prompt me to stock on it.

i stocked up on evey single thing on this site.
funny thing is i dont even want to survive anymore, i just want to be taken on first blast lol

but i did my reasearch on it and prepared for every scenario.

i belive it helps radiation recovery

Nutritional value for the mind....not for everyone.And im sure the medicenal benifits have not even been tuched upon.Can't regulate it...so the goberment can't get their share,ahh but the leagel shit the have tried to peddle on us for years don't quiet cut the mustard...YES children drugs in the wrong hands could lead to stronger choices and weeker minds in the world of money and control of the masses.But "pot"is as harmless as a spring day.

The seeds are highly nutritious. They are packed full of protein and omega three fatty acids.

Lots and lots of chlorophyll and that no one has made this connection yet...

"High baby, very high!"

bryan guigue say's " USE IT WITH A PURPOSE NOT BY IT'S EFFECT"
DON'T DISTROY IT'S NAME CAUZ GOD GAVE THAT PLANT TO US, TO TEST US ALL,, IF WE STILL REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME ADAM AND EVE FOLLOW THE DEVIL'S VOICE,,, AN IMPORATNT THOUGHT OF BRYAN GUIGUE SAY'S " A RIGHT ONE SHOULD NOT CHANGE BY ANYONE INTO FALSE " DON'T ERASE HIS NAME.... CAUZ THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD UNITE. HIS ONE OF A CHANGE HAPPEN.........

not that I have read anything on it, but wouldn't it be a green leafy veggie? like lettuce or spinach? and don't tell me you never wanted to pull a leaf off the plant and just cram it in your mouth-anyone with the opportunity has wanted to.
and as for recipes--i figure it would work well for salads, pestos, etc...i once knew someone who ground the some parts into flour to bake with... :11:

not allot of work if your growing for seed.. just make sure you have good nutrients or at least know how to make them(compost, collection of bird dung....) they have an abundant supply of nutrition, mainly in the seeds.. look for non GMO seeds (non-mex brick seeds....)

you are a mooron

Don't know if this will get a response, but the responses here have been pretty informative. My only issue is with painting hemp and weeds as the end all of plant nutrition. Quinoa is ingested in a similar way as a seed and it has a better protein profile than egg whites, milk and soybeans. Y'all should check it out. Maybe hemp has a better fatty acvid profile, but I doubt it's better at protein delivery and constitution than quinoa.

Perhaps I'm biased though because I have some quinoa I'm about to harvest from my garden, but I figure fellow flower children might want to check it out.

anyone with an internet connection (or a healthfood shop nearby) can eeeeeeasilly find out the nutritional value of hempseed, which has been most of the emphasis here. and yes, of course it's utterly astonishing stuff, far the supperior of any other food stuff for the various reasons presented in the more robust replies here... i was wondering if anyone had information on whole plant nutritional value, nutritional values for leaf, and nutritional values for sensimilia. of course, i expect these quantities of the various nutrients to vary from plant to plant, from growing conditions to growing conditions, and especially between the subspecies, sativa, indica, ruderalis, chinensis, and any others you may consider distinct enough for their own name.

any of the stuff you think may be lacking from the seed (i.e. some vitamins), i'm sure would be present in sufficient quantity in the vegitable (leaf) matter of the plant.

eating "whole food", i've been learning from other sources, really is the best way to go.

so... anyone know what's in the leaf?

honestly if it wasnt for marijuana i would still be havin seizures regularly it has not harmed me n never once have i heard of somebody overdosin on it so dont believe everything they say bout it cuz it has been helpin me n my patients for some time now a friend even had his skin cancer cured by a process usin only a marijuana type paste he no longer has skjin cancer the docters were amazed at how this helped him

duuuuuude after 100 grams you'd need a 16 hour weed nap

You can make up to 4 times more Protein with Hemp seeds pr. Acre than any plant or Animal on Earth, so I would say that it would be worth it.
