Wild Bill's Old Time Medicine Blog

Tired of being poisoned by them modern medicine varmints? Medical costs got you so poor you're drinkin' muddy water and sleepin' in a holler log?
Ever wonder what they did back in the good ole days when they were feelin' poorly? Well sir, they made their own medicine.

You're probably wonderin', "What did they use to make medicine way back then"? Well, I'm going to tell you.

One of the favorite medicines back then was Cannabis Indica. Yep, that's right, good ole fashioned marijuana.
It was one of the safest most widely accepted medicines in the world from cave man days right up to 1942 when the politicians in the U.S. government decided that they could make more money from the new synthetic chemicals and drugs that only masked symptoms. Why do you suppose that was? Well partner, turns out you can't patent a plant cuz' folks can grow it themselves, and that means they can't charge you for it.

In 1851 these were the reported uses of hemp extract:

"The complaints in which it has been specially recommended are neuralgia, gout, rheumatism, tetanus, hydrophobia, epidemic cholera, convulsions, chorea, hemorrhage" (Brecher, 1972).

Nowadays they found out there's a heap more diseases that it takes care of including cancer!

If you don't believe me then see for yourself!



Yee Haw! Just look at them little buggers drop!
