Greenwich Village, known as “the Village“, is a neighborhood on the west side of Manhattan, New York City, in  Lower Manhattan. Greenwich Village is bounded by 14th Street to the north, Broadway to the east, Houston Street to the south, and the Hudson River to the west. Within Greenwich Village, you will find the West Village and the Meatpacking District.

Greenwich Village contains Washington Square Park, as well as two of New York’s private colleges, New York University (NYU) and the New School.

Greenwich Village has undergone extensive gentrification and commercialization and the four zip codes are all ranked among the ten most expensive in the United States.  Residential property sale prices in the West Village neighborhood typically exceeding US$2,100 per square foot in 2017.

Unlike the streets of most of Manhattan above Houston Street, streets in the Village typically are named rather than numbered. 

Most of the buildings of Greenwich Village are mid-rise apartments, 19th century row houses, and one-family walk-ups. You will not find the high-rise landscape of Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. Many of the brownstones and townhouses date back to the 19th century and are now privately owned by many wealthy New Yorkers.

In Greenwich Village, once known as a bohemian haven for artists, you will find an abundance of fun things to do. Tourists enjoy visiting The “Friends” Apartment of the TV sitcom “Friends” at the corner of Bedford and Grove St. Everybody loves spending time in Washington Square Park where you will find a replica of the arch in Paris. Foodies love MacDougal Street and have their pick of great bars and restaurants. Many like to visit the IFC Center where they can view independent movies. One more popular thing to do in the Village is to visit the Fat Cat where you can enjoy jazz, drinks and live music.

Within Greenwich Village, you will find Gay Street,  the smallest street in New York City, located near the Gay Liberation Monument in Christopher Park. In the 60’s. Christopher Street was at the center of the LGBT movement and still carries this presence today. On this street, the Stonewall Uprising took place on June 28, 1969 at the Stonewall Inn Bar. LGBT rights demonstrations during Gay Pride Week take place every June on Christopher Street.

While Cannabis has been under study for religious, medical, and recreational purposes for 5,000 years, it was only until 1964 that scientists discovered the cannabinoid, THC, which in turn led to the discovery of other cannabinoids, including CBD and other endocannabinoids.

THC is one of the major psychoactive components of the cannabis plant which is associated with a euphoric “high” following consumption. Like many of the cannabinoids present with the plant, THC can activate receptors within our bodies, specifically,  CB1 receptors present within our central nervous system to induce the unique effect that is associated with it.

The potential that THC holds in the field of medicine has been held back by negative stigma as many associate it with being harmful. This perception is starting to shift as both cannabis and THC as more Americans are now being introduced to medical marijuana for treatment of their ailing conditions.

Cannabis and THC have traditionally been ingested in the body by smoking dried flower. Patients of medical cannabis in New York, fortunately, are given smoke free alternatives. These methods are safer and more beneficial to your health.

THC usually works in tandem with other cannabinoids present within marijuana to create what is known as “The Entourage Effect.” The combination of these cannabinoids and terpenes is what makes the entourage effect and the healing effect associated with cannabis amazing.

THC has a diverse set of therapeutic effects. These effects can be both short term and long term based on numerous factors—the dose, potency, and condition of the individual.

Some effects include:

• Anti-nausea
• Muscle Relaxant
• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-seizure
• Anti-spasm
• Appetite Stimulant
• Can lower blood pressure
• Pain reliever
• Anti-depressant
• Memory aid
• Anxiety reliever

The good news is that if you have a severe, chronic, debilitating condition like persistent muscle spasms, seizures or severe weight loss, you may qualify for Medical Marijuana and be able to purchase a product with THC to treat your condition.
