I could of just kept quiet and just created GOLD filling my bank account, but that would of been SELFISH ! I was returned to ‘restore’ EARTH, not get rich. Growing HEMP will restore earth, atmosphere, humanity.
YouTube CYBER ATTACKING me proves your FELON ACTIONS !
CYBER ATTACKING my message from GOD proves me right FEDERAL AGENT.
The HOLY SPIRIT told me that explaining about atoms will help restore my brain.
Boiling water proves that heat excites molecules that allows atoms to boil and escape. All things in life are made of ATOMS that bond into MOLECULES that creates matter. It is a matter of understanding the stages that ‘heat’ will do to ATOMS.
There is a CREATOR that is sexless. The word GOD is man made for control of ‘humanity’.
It was not a question of believing my meditation but ‘understanding’ it. That is why I did what MOSES had them do in the BIBLE. I ‘drank’ MONATOMIC GOLD.
HUMANITY needs ADVANCED
Alright I have tried the SPIRITUAL side to get word out, now it is MANS way;
My grandfather was a certified genius with 156 IQ that ran the PANAMA CANAL ZONE for the military until 1958 and can be looked up. ( Co. George W. Bland Sr.).
My IQ was 148 when was 17.
I wrecked my Harley giving me a 5.5 TBI that THC is restoring.
I figured if THC is restoring my brain injury the way I say it is and if I am as smart as the IQ test says then I should be able to figure out how GOLD formed to ‘prove’ healing.
I DID ! But they CYBER ATTACK ME !
Government kills, GOD ‘heals’.
FEDERAL AGENT you CYBER ATTACKING me shows you FEAR ‘TRUTH’.
CREATORS ‘healing’ warrior.
Because I was not believed I did a SPIRITUAL MEDITATION where I was shown how GOLD formed to show TRUTH.
Copper melts at 1800F but the ‘atoms’ must be brought to a boil, that is at 3500F. There can’t be any oxygen because will put pressure against atoms blocking escape. Melted BORAX will do this as long covering copper. In 100 hours 100 atoms will escape leaving 79 atoms that is GOLD.
Only GOD can return me from ‘death’
5 years from now we’re gonna look at psychedelic medicine the same way. Specially Psilocybin
I’m on medical marijuana and it helps me but it should be covered under insurance. It helps better than the opiods
Wow such a beautiful story. Modern medicine needs to change for the benefit for human kind. Thank you for insight doctor🙏🙏🙏.
RIP Charlotte
Thank God I live in Canada. With it legal here maybe researchers can finally get to all the other unknown beneficial effects it has.
very cool and so true ! 🙂
Every Cell in Your Body Has a Receptor for Cannabinoids
I think they made a strain name after the little girl…it’s called Charlotte’s Web 💜
Using weed to help wean off of Opiates, and it’s helping. I can quit pot like I can quit Milk, not Opiates, to me it’s a God send, but years of Catholic guilt sometimes gets to me.
Charolett s web.
I tried it in the netherlands and its a fantastic medicine, i have alot of health problems and chronic pain and it started working very quick. I also at the time i bought it had a serious infection in my mouth/teeth and needed to see a dentist, my face was swolen and looked like a handball on one side because of the infection and already after 1-2 days the infection and pain was much better , and it was completely gone in a week and i didnt need to go to the dentist. In Norway we can only import CBD legally with no thc for the time being, i`d prefer with thc but it also works good without it. With thc helps more directly with the pain though, so i am looking forward to the day it becomes legal.
My daughters been put into a coma twice as she just wouldnt come out of the seizures. I’m in the uk and the meds they have her on have made her so over weight, tired and dependent upon them for her mood. Shes 16 and I just want to swap so she can taste life. They shouldnt keep this away from us, it’s not theirs its everyones.
Well done sir.
i quit nicotine via weed , i know not the best method lol
you tanks
What was the cause of the seizures? (Do not say, "genetics".)
Cannabis is not good illegal in Nepal
CBD and THC has helped me tremendously.
It has helped me with chronic pain, fatigue, nausea, anxiety, depression, and sleep, as well as a bunch of other things.
It is currently helping me ween off benzos.
But like he said, it is not a cure all. It should never be dismissed only because it is not a cure all. But it is a potentially powerful medicine for some people, for some of the issues they have.
Does it completely take my pain away? No. I still have pain, but I have alot less and take alot less pills because of it.
Do I still have anxiety attacks? Yes. But they are less frequent, and less intense, and as I have increased my CBD dose, I find myself having less of them
Do I still get depressed? Yeah. 2020, bad year, especially for anyone with depression. But overall, I am able to focus more on optimism, and balance it with caution and realistic, healthier views about myself.
Is it a crutch? What if it is? Does that make it a shame? Isn’t a crutch used to help someone walk? Well, CBD and THC has been a very beneficial crutch for me in this walk of life, and I am grateful for that.
Thank goodness for doctors like this who will listen, and be open minded. A couple weeks ago in a phonecall appointment with my doctor, she finally said that she supported my use, and recommended I keep using it, and is referring me to a doctor who is better trained in it,which may lead to me getting coverage(I’d be paying 20% with my drug plan), which will help alot as it has been really expensive.
I am glad hearts and minds are opening to this. The negative stigma is melting.
5000 years before Ayurveda was written on Jungle. Ayurveda tells how to treat diseases from Natural plants
I took rx psych meds for 22yrs for everything ranging from bi-polar, PTSD, ADD, agoraphobia, major depression and so on.. Also various meds for neuropathy, including opiates… They either didn’t work, made the condition worse, or caused horrific side effects… I tried vaporizing med cannabis, and 20 minutes later I started to cry because it was the first time I felt "normal" and my back didn’t hurt… I’ve been off all the psych and pain meds now for over a year, and live a stable, pain free life thanks to med cannabis…
Thank You Doctor Shackelford. God Bless You
"While cannabis and CBD are an emerging field of study, their associated health effects remain inconclusive and unsupported by current scientific evidence. " TEDx
Never truer words written. People claiming it cures and treats anything and everything is not evidence.
Excellent information. Thanks for sharing this Dr. Shackelford!
Thanks so much for standing up and speaking for those who really need medical help with less to none side effects. 🙏
Greetings from e.u
I differ on only one point, marijuana should be the first course of treatment instead of only “on those which conventional treatment hasn’t worked.” Harsh traditional treatments should instead be saved as a last resort.
Used the right way, cannabis extracts and the plant itself are very beneficial. Sadly, a lot of people using it in a false and harming way.

Charlotte’s Web is the Best CBD
someone owes me a damn tissue!
Unfortunately, Charlotte passed away in 2020 due to complications caused by Covid-19. May God bless her soul 🥺❤️
White man comes and informs us on the benefits of a plant we knew the benefits of looong ago..long before he subjugated us to yeeeears of punishment for..FUCKHIM
Why can they sell just the cannabis tea?? ??its more healthy than traditional pills?? All those medications make us more sick ??..its just profit for the farmaceutical companies thast a crime !!!
💚🙏
My father is having advance stage cancer of prostate, can consuming cannabis orally help him he can not smoke cannabis.
…. MOST patients respond poorly to conventional treatment….
I totally believe in this medication
You are what missing In the field. And yet it makes me sick this world try’s to penalize you or take your license for health. Wow I’m so inspired I’ve started using again and I’m sleeping so much better and breathing amazingly. I was having problems sleeping and had a stroke that had left me with bathroom problems and back pain. It’s been two weeks and I feel great I wish the rest of this world would stop the irony and foolishness. I don’t puff like a chimney I have a small amount like the size of market cap half a year spoon cbd works
Rick Simpson says that cannabis IS a panacea or a cure all, and I trust his experience more than an old school traditional american doctor, no offence.
The little girl he spoke about charlotte has her own strain named charolettes web a cbd ONLY strain…
I’m a disabled vet prescribed fentanyl. Cannabis saved my life.
👊✌
This herb is also desribed as top 5 most miracle herb.. In the Hindu mythological book "Atharvaved"
Used to have stomach pains and started smoking cannabis and boom no more pains. To think I used to hate it..
My dog; diagnosed with bone cancer. Vet said he has only few months. I fed him CBD oil. Its been 2 years now. Alive and kicking!
It’s always the plan of the Marxists, alias communists or socialist to either drunken or drug their society. It helps tame the male initiative so the men don’t get wise enough to start a revolution.
Russia used vodka, even paid the workers in vodka. …(still today their convenience stores and grocery stores are more than half liquor over food and other products). Castro used rum and marijuana. Chavez used marijuana and beetlenut.
That’s why they have fought to legalize marijuana now as "medical marijuana"… starting with the Clintons… they are a bunch of potheads.
Cannabis oil is the all time medicine given to man by God ,I don’t use and pharmaceutical companies product ever but only THC oil for Decades,these pharmaceuticals synthetic drugs are killers
Medical Marijuana is beneficial to us and can be utilized to remedy headaches, cure asthma, pain relief, and depression. As of today, many states are now legalizing cannabis because of its medical benefits.
We need more Doctors like him in the medical world. Scientific way of thinking.
