Chaos out west!!

While the FED  changes their stance, the nation braces for change while California and others cringe. For many reasons, California has been producing some of the best, if not the best ganja in the country. For years now, legally, people have been able to have the privilege to buy this without prosecution. Thanks to those who paved the road to this path but we all know there is still work to do.…

Weed is cool and fun; dosage, administration, and reasons for use are all completely up to the user, usage is a choice an individual is making about their own body and they should be free to make that choice without judgement. With that out of the way I do think rational, informative, and compassionate dialogues about cannabis induced DPDR and cannabis induced psychosis are seriously lacking. Even just awareness of this being something that can happen to you in general. Especially on Tumblr for instance where there's a disproportionate amount of people who are at elevated risk.

Limited sample size but i feel like I see this in a lot in my peer groups too. Acting like THC is completely and totally safe all the time even in incredibly high doses and can never induce anything that's more uncomfortable than a headache or getting a little paranoid. And obviously we are familiar with the other end of the spectrum, scaremongering and villanization which are equally unhelpful

Husband decided to mix the mulberry juice with the seabuckthorn juice, which we used to chase a pomegranate infused vodka. As my edible kicked in, I'm pretty sure I vibrated at the cellular level. That's a lot of micronutrients.

The endocannabinoid system: Essential and mysterious

The first endocannabinoid that was discovered was named anandamide after the Sanskrit word ananda for bliss. All of us have tiny cannabis-like molecules floating around in our brains. The cannabis plant, which humans have been using for about 5,000 years. Peter Grinspoon, M.D.

Many of us have heard of some of the transmission systems found in the human body. Take, for instance, the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers the fight-or-flight response. However, less has been heard of the more recently discovered endocannabinoid system, or ECS. This is rather surprising considering that it could be fundamental to almost every aspect of our bodily functions. Here we explain it in detail to help you understand how cannabis produces its effects.

The endocannabinoid system comprises a vast network of chemical signals and cell receptors which are densely packed in our body. For example, the ‘cannabinoid’ receptors in the brain outnumber many other types of receptors that are affected by different neurotransmitters.

Neurotransmitters are molecules used by the brain cells, or neurons, to communicate with each other. One neuron sends a message to the next neuron by releasing certain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine or serotonin, in an infinitesimal space that separates a neuron from the next.

What's the Endocannabinoid System?

Consider the phrase “endocannabinoid.” The phrase “cannabinoid” is derived from the word “cannabis,” and “endo” refers to the fact that it is formed naturally within the body. As a result, “endocannabinoid” actually refers to cannabis-like compounds that exist naturally in our dogs (and our) bodies. Our dogs, us, our cats, and other mammals all have the same endocannabinoid system. The ECS itself…

Unlocking the Potential of CBD Oil: A Natural Remedy for Wellness

In recent years, CBD oil has gained significant attention for its potential health benefits, leading many to explore this natural remedy as a way to enhance their overall wellness. CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the many compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its counterpart, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn't produce the "high" associated with marijuana. This quality has made CBD oil a promising option for those seeking relief from various ailments without the side effects typically associated with traditional medications.

CBD oil is commonly derived from industrial hemp, a cannabis variety containing minimal THC levels. Its popularity can be attributed to its potential to alleviate a range of symptoms, such as chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and even epilepsy. Research and anecdotal evidence suggest that CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including pain perception, mood, and immune response.

Furthermore, CBD oil is available in various forms, including tinctures, capsules, topicals, and edibles, allowing users to choose the most suitable method for their specific needs. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating CBD oil into your wellness routine, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

While the potential benefits of CBD oil are promising, it's important to remember that the industry is still evolving, and research is ongoing. As more studies are conducted, our understanding of CBD's full range of applications will likely expand. For those looking for a natural alternative to traditional treatments, CBD oil may hold the key to unlocking a healthier, more balanced life.

I’m coming to some conclusions here...

Growing up a was relatively happy child, moreso noticeably a very very silly and giggly child. We used to joke that my brain naturally made its own marijuana. Well, that’s not entirely untrue -

The endocannabinoid system is really important in the regulation of a lot of stuff - you know, for example, the kind of things in which a deficiency thereof leads to things like... oh, I don’t know.... Major Depressive Disorder. And Generalized Anxiety. And regulating blood pressure. You know, all the shit I suffer from

Below: All the symptoms that began to onset as I got older

Not listed:

Temperature control. I am hot, all the god damn time

Immune functioning - before addressing my Depression, I was getting sick all the the gottdangt time

Learning and memory: At the height of my Depression, I couldn’t remember a damn thing and it was really frustrating. I still deal with it from time to time

At some point, my brain either stopped producing the needed neurotransmitters for these regulations, or growing up it was over-producing and lead to neural burnout akin to kids who were heavy marijuana users

So I don’t really know what to make of all this information, but it’s just one of those “by writing it down it helps me process it better” type things

The Medical Benefits of Cannabinoids: How Hemp is Used for Medicinal Purposes

Cannabinoids are a class of compounds found in the cannabis plant. These compounds are responsible for the plant’s medicinal properties. Cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for a number of physiological processes, including pain, appetite, and mood.

The two most well-known cannabinoids are THC and CBD. THC is the compound responsible for the plant’s psychoactive effects. CBD is non-psychoactive and is responsible for the plant’s medicinal properties.

Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. The first recorded use of cannabis for medicinal purposes was in 2737 BC, when the Chinese emperor Shennong prescribed cannabis for the treatment of a number of ailments, including gout and malaria.

The medical use of cannabinoids is a growing field of research. Cannabinoids have been shown to be effective for the treatment of a number of conditions, including pain, anxiety, and inflammation.

The Endocannabinoid System

: The endocannabinoid system is a network of receptors found throughout the body. These receptors are responsible for a variety of physiological processes, including pain, appetite, mood, and memory. The endocannabinoid system works in conjunction with cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate homeostasis in the body. This can lead to a variety of physiological benefits, including pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects. The endocannabinoid system is made up of two types of receptors. CB1 receptors are primarily found in the brain, while CB2 receptors are found throughout the body, including the immune system. Cannabinoids from the cannabis plant interact with these receptors in different ways, depending on the type of cannabinoid and receptor. For example, THC interacts with both CB1 and CB2 receptors, while CBD interacts primarily with CB2 receptors. //

CBD and Pain Management

: CBD is one of the most studied cannabinoids for medicinal use. It has been found to be effective for the management of both chronic and acute pain. CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate the body’s response to pain. By interacting with the endocannabinoid system, CBD can help reduce pain and inflammation in the body. CBD has also been found to be effective for the treatment of neuropathic pain, a type of chronic pain caused by nerve damage. Studies have found that CBD helps reduce nerve-related pain, as well as inflammation and swelling associated with chronic pain conditions. CBD is also being studied as a potential treatment for other types of pain, including cancer-related pain and migraines. //

CBD and Inflammation

: Inflammation is the immune system’s response to injury or infection. It can be both a beneficial and detrimental process, depending on the context. Excessive inflammation can lead to tissue damage and can be associated with a number of chronic conditions, including arthritis and allergies. CBD has been found to be an effective anti-inflammatory. Studies have found that CBD can help reduce inflammation in the body, leading to reduced pain and swelling in affected areas. CBD has also been shown to downregulate the production of cytokines, which are molecules involved in inflammation. By downregulating cytokine production, CBD can help reduce inflammation and the symptoms associated with it. //

CBD and Neurological Disorders

: CBD is also being studied for its potential to treat neurological disorders. Studies have found that CBD can help reduce the symptoms of a number of disorders, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which plays an important role in regulating neuroplasticity and neuroinflammation. By interacting with the endocannabinoid system, CBD can help reduce inflammation and promote neuroplasticity, which can lead to improved brain function and reduced symptoms of neurological disorders. CBD has also been found to be an effective neuroprotectant. It has been found to protect against both oxidative damage and cell death, which can lead to improved brain function and reduced symptoms of neurological disorders. //

CBD and Cancer

It has been found to inhibit the growth of tumor cells in the body, as well as reduce the spread of cancer cells. CBD has also been found to possess anti-angiogenic properties, which means that it can help reduce the formation of new blood vessels in cancer cells. By reducing the formation of new blood vessels, CBD can help reduce the spread of cancer cells throughout the body. //

CBD and Mental Health

: CBD is also being studied for its potential to treat mental health disorders. Studies have found that CBD can help reduce the symptoms of a number of mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety. CBD has been found to have a positive effect on serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood. By regulating serotonin levels, CBD can help reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety. CBD has also been found to possess anti-stress and anti-anxiety properties. It has been found to help reduce cortisol levels in the body, which can reduce stress and improve overall mental wellbeing. //

What about the legality?

CBD is legal in many countries, and is available as an over-the-counter supplement in some. It is generally legal in countries where cannabis is legal, or in countries where CBD is specifically allowed. However, in some countries, CBD is still illegal. It is important to check the local laws before using CBD, to ensure that it is legal in your country. //
