The nutritional classification of hemp seed and hemp seed oil as a nutraceutical food containing all essential amino acids the body cannot produce, plus omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids, advocated as a daily dietary supplement to support the endocannabinoid system.
// From the Episode
Dr. David Allen argued hemp seed oil should be in the diet of all humans and animals as it regulates homeostasis through the endocannabinoid system. Bubbleman credited Jack Herer with early education on hemp seed nutrition. Dr. Allen connected amino acid deficiency from poor diet to endocannabinoid deficiency, citing US Patent 6,630,507 establishing cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants. The panel noted the irony that few cannabis community members actually consume hemp seed daily despite knowing its benefits.
