Marijuana and other drugs.

The Ganja Witch is none other than the world renowned natural cancer therapy practitioner Dr. Gamhom Nalanchang. Dr. Gamhom, who serves as the President and Founder of Cancer Hope Village in Laos and Thailand, has been advocating natural medicine towards treating cancer and other illnesses for many years. Medical Marijuana (cannabis) is a matter that is very dear to her heart. She believes cannabis plays a vital role in curing and preventing cancer and many other disease and illnesses.When the Thai Parliament scheduled a vote to legalized Medical Marijuana, Dr.
Gamhom
Thailand to speak on this very important matter. Because
Dr. Gamhom
against the prohibition of medical Marijuana in Thailand. Many states in North America have legalized marijuana for both medical and recreational uses. However, the Con
Federal government from recognizing it as medicine and as a result, the law prohibits federal funding for research
Dr. Gamhom believes that because the Thai parliament
assent, the Thai Parliament will welcome practitioners to continue their research. Dr. Gamhom cited that in many Thai medical practitioner practice booklets, cannabis has
cannabis formulas. Her message to other naysayers and supporters around the world is “ Life Over Law”.
1.Why is the doctor called The Ganja Witch and how long has she been using that name?
GW I believe in Cannabis. I am involved in one of the most
in against the prohibition of medical Marijuana in Thailand. I became “ Ganja Witch ” in 2018.
2.You believe in life over law. Can you explain this concept in more detail?
GW I dealt with underprivileged patients who had last stage Cancer since 2010. I do what I can. I give my heart and soul to all my patients. In America and other countries they use cannabis to heal both kids and adults from autism , seizures, epilepsy, convulsion and last stage Cancer etc. However in Thailand , Marijuana is illegal but use in secret. Your loved one is on the verge of dying
What are you going to do ? You will do whatever you can to help your loved one survive.
This is why I say “ Life over law” Law need to be natural and help people, if the law kill peoples ,
natural and has been assisting for us many years.
3.There is still a lot of controversy about medicinal marijuana?
GW Yes , there is still plenty of controversy surrounding marijuana, Just recently in Thailand marijuana was legalized for medical use , knowledge this is important and that why I created “ Cannabis Witch Academy ”, to give people the knowledge about marijuana, usage and side effects. Everything in the world has two side good and bad. We use good for medical reasons but people still need to be aware of the bad side too. For example marijuana can impair your senses during a drive. I can say 60% of Thai peoples want to learn because marijuana has been the native and natural weed in our country for many years.
GW In Thailand we have had traditional herbal formulas that contain marijuana inside for 300 years but we could not use it because of the law. The world keeps moving , legalizing marijuana for medical use and recreation , This made me more interested sine I live in the - na and I know Thailand has good quality marijuana. If Thailand le
combined the knowledge I gained from the US and applied it to Thailand , working with other doctors to cure our patients.
That is why I say “Life over Law”
5.How did you determine that by using CBD oils that it could help assist or cure certain ailments? for you as a woman to be as
medicine?
GW
cancer everyday for 10 years.
than giving peoples back there life , My charity slogan is
the world is yourself.
GW Before I gave this natural medicine to my patients , I used it
to take painkiller every month for my period and Melatonin for sleep every night. Since I use CBD , I never used western medicine pills anymore because I know it has negative side effects on my kidneys and liver. Also, I did a lot of research in the US and shared case studies with my doctors friends. There were good results after CBD use , some cases we can see the results right away after CBD drops in 10 second with Sei- zuring and Epileptic patients. Also I have a lot of last stage Cancer patients that see a shrink with the tumor in 3 weeks. Which can be proven by blood test and tumors marker.
7.Can you share some stories about your village and how rewarding it has been to work with the cancer patients?
GW Reward that I get from
wonderful reward that I get. I also have cured last stage breast cancer, last stage kidney failure disease in Laos and I also made their family happy too.

HW: As you know, there is a lot of misinformation surrounding the bene ts and risks associated with cannabis use. According to your website, “since opening in 2013, your focus has been on helping provide patients with the knowledge and medicine they need.” There are a number of unlicensed cannabis shops in Los Angeles, why is it important for consumers to carefully select their medicine and other products from licensed cannabis shops like The Higher Path Collective? Unfortunately, the unlicensed market is still alive and well in California, and the hemp market is thriving with little to no regulation. That means customers are purchasing products contaminated with pesticides and possibly not the strains or potencies that are advertised on their packaging. Recent random tests have discovered that CBD products around Los Angeles don’t actually contain any CBD! We nd this unacceptable. Just like the FDA has to put ingredients on their packaging, the regulated industry does as well to provide full transparency as to what’s going inside someone’s body. At The Higher Path, every product is tested and regulated from seed to sale, with complete clarity regarding its contents and potency.

HW: In our Western society, alternative health approaches which can supplement traditional medicine are in a state of con ict. For example, if someone goes into a hospital and is diagnosed with high blood pressure, medical doctors will generally recommend a lifestyle change and give prescription drugs which often have serious side effects. If you ask your medical doctor for a natural alternative, they will typically avoid discussions of cannabis as a safe option. So let’s set the record straight, please discuss several prevalent diseases that pharmaceutical companies are claiming their drugs can treat and alternative products available at The Higher Path Collective. Well, the spectrum of diseases and ailments alleviated with cannabis use is broad, and ever-growing. While we never promise to fully cure any disease, our consultation team listens carefully and advises with speci c products to coincide with a lifestyle change that have proven effective for many people. Research is continually conducted on everything from cancer, auto immune diseases, anxiety, mental health disorders, and physical pain and we will continue to see the positive effects cannabis provides as relief for these.

Never Sit If You Can Dance - Lessons from My Mother by Jo Giese
At a turbulent time in America, when personal connections are fleeting and shared values rare, award-winning journalist and author Jo Giese offers uplifting lessons in old-fashioned civility in her memoir. The lessons are wisdom from a mother of the 20th century for a daughter in the 21st century.
“This engaging tribute should ring a bittersweet bell with many baby boomers whose aging parents are dying.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Tender, pithy, and steeped in respect, Never Sit if You Can Dance is a light-filled biographical work.” ―Foreword Reviews
New York City, 1920 - Grace Michelle has everything she wants: A home, a family, and a future career as a costume designer for famed showman Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr.’s Ziegfeld Follies. Pretty good for a girl who once lived on the streets of New York City. But when her sister, Sophia, the star of the show, is murdered, Grace’s safe and protected life is shattered.
"Not one page of this captivating tale bores, whether it's the latest scandal hitting the Follies or a glance between Grace and Chet. GRACE IN THE WINGS is the perfect blend of noir mystery, romance, action, and historical fiction, with a few comedic moments thrown in. GRACE IN THE WINGS is a page-turning 1920s mystery set against the smoky and sometimes seedy world of the famous Ziegfeld Follies." - Kent Page McGroarty for IndieReader
