22. From what I've read, yes. "Ultra low" dosages are prescribed.

I've looked to see what ultra low is, and the best I can come up with is (for real plant material) a thumb sized bud/day (eating). So this is dietary cannabis, not heating it up. Heating it is what gives it the psychoactive chemical. I eat a popcorn size bud every night, and it might as well be spinach in terms of a high. There was also a spec. on juiced leaves, which I've forgotten. But it was reasonable.

The cannabis specialist that I met with, explained the importance of cannabinoids for regulating a variety of biological functions, and said that one of the reasons modern people are so sick is cannabinoid deficiency.
