Appearance: Taller plants with thin, narrow leaves.

Effects: Promotes focus, creativity, and sociability. Commonly used during the day.

Uses: Often chosen for relief from depression, fatigue, and mood disorders.

Popular Strains: Sour Diesel, Jack Herer, and Durban Poison.

Cultivation: Longer flowering time, thrives in warm climates.

Sativa

Indica Marijuana

Indica Marijuana refers to a strain of cannabis characterized by its short, bushy plants with broad leaves. It typically has a higher CBD to THC ratio, offering relaxing and sedative effects. Indica is often used for pain relief, insomnia, and anxiety. Originating from regions like Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan, it thrives in cooler climates and has a shorter flowering cycle compared to Sativa strains.

Indica

Indica Marijuana refers to a cannabis strain originating from the Cannabis indica plant. It is typically associated with:

Effects: Relaxing, sedative, and calming, often called a “body high.”

Uses: Commonly used for stress relief, pain management, insomnia, and muscle relaxation.

Appearance: Short, bushy plants with broad leaves.

THC/CBD Levels: Often has higher THC levels but can also contain balanced or higher CBD strains.

Aroma/Flavor: Earthy, sweet, and sometimes pungent.

Indica strains are often preferred for nighttime use due to their relaxing properties.

hybrid Marijuana

Hybrid marijuana refers to cannabis strains that are a cross between Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica plants. These hybrids combine traits from both species, often resulting in balanced effects that can be tailored for specific purposes. Hybrids are categorized as:

Sativa-dominant: Energizing with mild relaxation.

Indica-dominant: Relaxing with mild stimulation.

Balanced hybrids: Equal effects of energy and relaxation.

They are bred to enhance certain traits like potency, flavor, or therapeutic benefits, commonly used for managing pain, stress, or insomnia. Popular examples include Blue Dream, Gelato, and OG Kush.

Hybrid

Cannabis Hash

Cannabis Hash (or hashish) is a concentrated form of cannabis made by collecting and compressing the resin (trichomes) from the cannabis plant. It contains high levels of cannabinoids, primarily THC, and is typically consumed by smoking, vaporizing, or eating. Hash comes in various forms, colors, and textures, depending on the production method and cannabis strain used. Commonly produced in regions like the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, it has been used both recreationally and medicinally for centuries.

Hash

Cannabis CBD (Cannabidiol):

CBD is a non-intoxicating compound derived from cannabis or hemp plants. It is known for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing anxiety, pain, inflammation, and seizures. CBD does not cause a “high” like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and is legal in many places, depending on its THC content and local laws. It is available in various forms, including oils, capsules, edibles, and topicals. Always consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if taking other medications.

CBD

Concentrates are highly concentrated forms of substances, often used in various industries like food, beverage, and cannabis. They contain a higher level of the active ingredient compared to the original substance by removing water or other components.

For example:

In Food & Beverages: Fruit concentrates are made by removing most of the water from fruit juice, intensifying flavor and nutrients.

In Cannabis: Cannabis concentrates contain higher levels of cannabinoids like THC or CBD and are extracted through methods like solvent-based or solventless extraction.

In Cleaning & Cosmetics: Concentrates are often diluted before use, offering a more efficient way to store and transport products.

Concentrates are popular for their potency and cost-efficiency in various applications.

Cannabis Edibles are food products infused with cannabis extracts, typically in the form of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBD (cannabidiol). They come in various forms like gummies, brownies, chocolates, and beverages.

Concentrates

Key Points:

Onset Time: Edibles take longer to affect (30 minutes to 2 hours) compared to smoking or vaping cannabis.

Duration: Effects last longer, typically 4–8 hours.

Dosing: Dosage varies, so it’s important to start low (5–10 mg of THC) and wait at least 2 hours before taking more.

Effects: Can induce relaxation, euphoria, or increased appetite, depending on THC levels.

Legal Status: Varies by region; ensure compliance with local laws.

Considerations: Overconsumption can lead to anxiety or discomfort due to delayed onset and prolonged effects.

Always consume edibles responsibly, especially if you’re new to cannabis.

Cannabis Shatter is a type of cannabis concentrate that is known for its glass-like texture and high potency. It is made through an extraction process using solvents like butane to isolate THC and other cannabinoids from the plant material. The result is a translucent, brittle product that can be easily broken into pieces. Shatter typically has THC levels ranging from 60% to 90%, making it one of the most potent forms of cannabis. It is usually consumed by dabbing, where small amounts are vaporized using a dab rig. It provides rapid, intense effects due to its high concentration of cannabinoids.

Shatter

Solventless marijuana refers to cannabis extracts or concentrates made without the use of chemicals or solvents (like butane or ethanol). The most common solventless methods include:

Dry Sifting: Using screens to separate trichomes (the resin glands) from the plant material.

Rosin Pressing: Applying heat and pressure to cannabis flowers or hash to extract resin.

These methods preserve the natural flavors and cannabinoids of the plant, providing a cleaner, more pure product. Solventless extracts are often considered safer and more natural due to the absence of residual solvents.

Cannabis Beverages: A better way?

Cannabis beverages are rapidly gaining popularity in the cannabis industry, offering a novel and discrete way to consume cannabis. These drinks come in various forms, including teas, sodas, and even cocktails, infused with cannabinoids such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). This post explores how cannabis beverages are made, their advantages over other consumption methods, and tips for safe and responsible use.

How Cannabis Beverages Are Made

Decarboxylation: The first step in making cannabis beverages is decarboxylation. This process involves heating cannabis to activate its psychoactive properties. Raw cannabis contains THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) and CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), which must be converted into THC and CBD, respectively, through heating.

Extraction: After decarboxylation, cannabinoids are extracted from the cannabis plant. This can be done using various methods, including CO2 extraction, ethanol extraction, or oil infusion. CO2 extraction is often preferred for its efficiency and ability to produce a pure, high-quality product.

Emulsification: Cannabinoids are hydrophobic, meaning they do not mix well with water. To create a stable beverage, emulsification is necessary. This involves breaking down the cannabinoids into tiny particles and suspending them in the liquid using an emulsifier. Nanoemulsion technology is commonly used, which reduces the cannabinoid particles to nano-sized droplets, enhancing their absorption and effectiveness.

Infusion: The emulsified cannabinoids are then infused into the beverage base. This base can be anything from water, tea, soda, or even alcoholic beverages. The infusion process ensures that the cannabinoids are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.

Flavoring and Packaging: The final step involves adding flavors to enhance the taste of the beverage and packaging it in a way that maintains its freshness and potency. This may include adding natural fruit flavors, sweeteners, or other ingredients to create a palatable and enjoyable drink.

Advantages of Cannabis Beverages

Discretion and Convenience: Cannabis beverages are highly discreet and convenient. Unlike smoking or vaping, which can be conspicuous and produce a strong odor, cannabis beverages look and feel like any other drink. This makes them ideal for social settings or for individuals who prefer a more private way to consume cannabis.

Precise Dosage: One of the significant benefits of cannabis beverages is the ability to control dosage accurately. Each beverage typically indicates the amount of THC or CBD it contains, allowing users to consume a specific amount. This is particularly beneficial for medicinal users who require precise dosages to manage their symptoms.

Faster Onset and Duration: Compared to edibles, which can take up to two hours to take effect, cannabis beverages generally have a faster onset time. The nanoemulsion technology used in many cannabis drinks allows for quicker absorption into the bloodstream, leading to effects that can be felt within 15 to 45 minutes. Additionally, the effects of cannabis beverages can last longer than smoking or vaping, providing extended relief.

Healthier Alternative: For health-conscious consumers, cannabis beverages offer a smoke-free alternative to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Smoking cannabis can have adverse effects on the lungs, while beverages eliminate this risk entirely. Additionally, many cannabis beverages are formulated with low-calorie or health-oriented ingredients, appealing to those who prioritize their overall well-being.

Safe and Responsible Use of Cannabis Beverages

Start Low and Go Slow: If you are new to cannabis beverages, start with a low dose and give it time to take effect before consuming more. The potency of cannabis beverages can vary, and individual tolerance levels differ. Beginning with a small amount helps to avoid overconsumption and any unwanted side effects.

Understand the Dosage: Pay close attention to the dosage information on the label of the cannabis beverage. Most products will specify the amount of THC and CBD per serving. Understanding the dosage helps you manage your intake and achieve the desired effects without exceeding your tolerance.

Be Mindful of Timing: The onset time for cannabis beverages can be shorter than edibles but still requires some patience. Avoid consuming additional doses too quickly. Wait at least 30 to 45 minutes to assess the effects before considering more.

Stay Hydrated: Like any beverage, it is essential to stay hydrated when consuming cannabis drinks. Drinking water alongside your cannabis beverage can help mitigate any potential dehydration and maintain overall well-being.

Avoid Mixing with Alcohol: Combining cannabis beverages with alcohol can intensify the effects of both substances and may lead to uncomfortable or adverse reactions. It is best to avoid mixing the two, especially if you are unfamiliar with how your body responds to cannabis.

Store Safely: Keep cannabis beverages out of reach of children and pets. Store them in a cool, dark place to preserve their potency and prevent accidental consumption.

Know the Laws: Be aware of the legal status of cannabis beverages in your area. Regulations regarding the purchase, possession, and consumption of cannabis products vary by region. Ensure you are compliant with local laws to avoid any legal issues.

What Is Hemp?

It’s A Trillion Dollar Cash Crop.

Hemp is a name given to a strain of the cannabis plant.

Hemp is a name given to cultivars of the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa) that have been selected over many generations for fiber and seed production. Most hemp cultivars contain less than 1.5% THC, a narcotic compound that has the potential for abuse in high concentrations. Cannabis sativa cultivars selected and developed for their drug properties, referred to as marijuana, or dagga, can have a THC content of 3%-25%.  Hemp is a bast fiber, producing its fibers in the stalk similar to flax, kenaf, and sun hemp.

Multiple Uses

Hemp fiber and seed are used to produce a wide range of commodities including food and beverage products, fiberboard, insulation, paper, composites, textiles, carpets, animal bedding and feed, cosmetics, body-care products, soaps, paints, fuels, and medicines.

Hemp Seed Food and Beverage Products

Hemp seed contains about 25% protein, 30% carbohydrates, & 15% insoluble fiber. Hemp seed is reported to contain more easily digestible protein than soybeans. Hemp seed contains all 8 amino acids essential to human nutrition. Hemp seed is high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, carotene, sulfur, iron and zinc, as well as Vitamins A, E, C, B1, B2, B3, and B6.

Hemp seed imported into the United States or Canada must be steam sterilized at between 180 degrees F and 212 degrees F for 15 minutes to prevent sprouting. Many US facilities receive imported viable seed under customs bond, steam it, and release it to the consignee or customer with a Certificate of Sterilization.

Hemp food and beverage products include hemp oil and seed, flour, pasta, cheese, tofu, salad dressings, snacks, sweets, hemp protein powders, soft drinks, beer, and wine. Hemp beer can be made from the seed, flowers, sprouts, and seed cake that is a by-product of oil pressing. Hemp beer is produced and sold in Europe and the United States of America.

Hemp Oil

Hemp seed is 25% to 35% oil, and is one of the oils lowest in saturated fats (8%). Hemp seed oil is the richest source of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (80%). Hemp seed oil is the only common edible seed oil containing Omega-6 Gamma-Linolenic Acid. Hemp seed oil is very fragile and not suitable for cooking.

Pressed hemp seed oil must be bottled immediately under oxygen-free conditions, and must be refrigerated in dark, airtight containers.

Fiberboard

Hemp fiberboard tested by Washington State University Wood Materials and Engineering Laboratory proved to be two and one half times stronger than wood MDF composites, and the hemp composite boards were three times more elastic.

Hemp herds can be used in existing mills without major changes in equipment. Russia, Poland and other Eastern European countries already manufacture composite boards from hemp and other plant materials.

Pulp and Paper

The major use of hemp fiber in Europe is in the production of specialty papers such as cigarette paper, archival paper, tea bags, and currency paper. The average bast fiber pulp and paper mill produces 5,000 tons of paper per year. Most mills process long bast fiber strands, which arrive as bales of cleaned ribbon from per-processing plants located near the cultivation areas.

Composites

Until the 1930’s, hemp-based cellophane, celluloid and other products were common, and Henry Ford used hemp to make car doors and fenders. Today hemp herds can be used to make new plastic and injection-molded products or blended into recycled plastic products. Hemp fibers are introduced into plastics to make them stiffer, stronger and more impact resistant. Hemp plastics can be designed that are hard, dense, and heat resistant, and which can be drilled, ground, milled, and planed.

Hemp plastic products currently made include chairs, boxes, percussion instruments, lampshades, bowls, cups, spectacles, jewelry, skateboards, and snowboards.

Hemp Animal Care

Hemp horse bedding and cat litter are produced and sold in Europe. After oil is extracted from the hemp seed, the remaining seed cake is about 25% protein and makes an excellent feed for chicken, cattle, and fish. Chickens fed hemp seed on a regular basis have been found to produce more eggs, without the added hormones used in most poultry plants.

Fuels

Hemp seed oil can be combined with 15% methanol to create a substitute for diesel fuel which burns 70% cleaner than petroleum diesel. Hemp stalks are rich in fiber and cellulose, making them conducive for conversion into ethanol and methanol fuels that have a higher octane than gasoline and produce less carbon monoxide. These biomass fuels are also free from sulfur, and do not require the addition of lead and benzene used to boost octane and improve engine performance in fossil fuels. Ethanol holds condensation, eliminating oxidation and corrosion, and is reported to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 30%.

Hemp has been studied in Ireland as a biomass fuel to generate electricity. Hemp has been reported to yield 1000 gallons of methanol per acre year. Hemp stalk can be converted to a charcoal-like fuel through a thermochemical process called pyrolysis. Henry Ford operated a biomass pyrolitic plant at Iron Mountain, Michigan in the mid-20th.

Paints and Varnishes and Binders

Until the 1930's, most paints were made from hemp seed oil and flax seed oil. Hemp oil makes a durable, long lasting paint that renders wood water-resistant. Hemp herds have the potential to make glues for composite construction products that are non-toxic and superior to binders currently used. With this technology, industry can produce composite products where all components are derived from hemp.

Markets for Hemp Pulp

Some paper manufacturers already have the equipment to process decorticated hemp fiber into paper. The leading European supplier of non-wood pulp, Celesa, currently produces about 10,000 tons per year of pulp from hemp. The use of hemp pulp in blends with recycled fiber of other non-wood fibers is growing. Tests by several European pulp and paper producers suggest that hemp pulp may replace cotton cost effectively in several specialty paper applications.

Potential Markets for Medical Application of Low-THC Hemp Cultivars

Many cannabis medicines have been produced using cannabis cultivars high in THC, and there has been medical research into cannabis that is low in THC and high in CBD.  CBD is a cannabinoid that does not have many of the psychoactive effects associated with THC.  CBD has been used to treat the following medical conditions: epilepsy, dystonic movement disorders, inflammatory disorders, pain, chronic insomnia, chorea, cerebral palsy, and Tourette's syndrome. According to a July 1998 report by the National Institute of Health, CBD may hold promise for preventing brain damage in strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and even heart attacks and has been found to prevent brain cell death in an experimental stroke model.

A-B to sell off Blue Point to owner of Montauk Brewing Co.

A blockbuster deal in beer this week that involves Anheuser-Busch selling off some of its craft beer assets will have local implications here in New York. Blue Point Brewing in Patchogue is among eight brands that A-B will sell to Tilray Brands, a Canadian cannabis company that has been growing its craft beverage portfolio since first acquiring Georgia-based SweetWater Brewery in 2020. Tilray more recently acquired Montauk Brewing Co. late last year.

A-B is selling eight brands in full: Blue Point, 10 Barrel, Red Hook, Widmer, Breckenridge, and Shock Top in the beer space, plus Square Mile Cider and HiBall Energy. The all-cash deal is expected to close at the end of the year, and indications are that the brands sold for an estimated $85 million.

In New York, the deal essentially merges Long Island’s two biggest beer brands. The transaction will include Blue Point’s production space and taproom in Patchogue, opening up the opportunity for consolidating production of Montauk’s core brands in-house (most are currently contract brewed). There are other regional synergies in the broader deal, with four Pacific Northwest brands all coming into Tilray’s portfolio, and the acquisition of Breckenridge Brewery aligning with the company’s existing ownership of Breckenridge Distilling.

Tilray has been investing heavily in Montauk this year following acquiring the brand, expanding their distribution footprint across several markets, including Upstate New York and most recently eastern Pennsylvania last week. Time will tell if similar investments will be made in Blue Point, or any of the newly-acquired brands.

That’s because cannabinoids like THC and CBD are hydrophobic, meaning they don’t naturally mix with water.Water soluble cannabis powder, however, overcomes this limitation, allowing you to easily infuse low-fat or fat-free beverages and dishes. This powder looks similar to matcha tea and dissolves seamlessly into liquids, making it a convenient and discreet way to consume cannabis.Unlike oils or concentrates, which can be separated in water-based drinks, this emulsified powder disperses evenly, making dosing more precise.Why Make Water Soluble THC Powder?- Fast-acting: Effects kick in quicker than traditional edibles. - Easier dosing: Mixes evenly, ensuring consistency in every serving. - Versatile: Works in drinks, sauces, soups, and low-fat foods. - Long shelf life: Stores well in an airtight container. Why Water and Cannabis Don’t Mix—Until NowMost cannabis extracts (such as tinctures and oils) are oil-based, which means they don't dissolve well in water.The key to making cannabis water-soluble is lecithin, a natural emulsifier.How Lecithin Works- Lecithin is amphiphilic, meaning it has both hydrophobic (oil-loving) and hydrophilic (water-loving) properties. - When combined with tapioca maltodextrin, it helps break the cannabis oil into tiny, water-compatible particles. - This allows the cannabinoids to disperse evenly in water rather than floating on top. - Mixing bowl - Whisk or wooden spoon - Measuring cup or digital scale - Fine mesh sieve or flour sifter - 30–60ml cannabis oil (Infused MCT oil works best, but any infused oil will work.) - 250g tapioca maltodextrin (A food-grade starch powder derived from tapioca.) - 1 teaspoon sunflower lecithin (Liquid or powdered; helps emulsify the cannabis oil.)💡 Tip: Using MCT oil instead of standard coconut or olive oil can improve cannabinoid absorption and result in a finer, more effective powder.

Step-by-Step Instructions1. Prepare Your Work AreaEnsure all utensils and bowls are clean and dry to avoid contamination or moisture, which can affect the consistency of the powder.2. Combine the Dry IngredientsIn a large mixing bowl, add the tapioca maltodextrin and sunflower lecithin. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly. This ensures that the lecithin is properly incorporated before adding any liquid.3. Slowly Add the Cannabis Oil- Begin by drizzling the cannabis oil slowly over the dry ingredients. - Stir continuously with a whisk or wooden spoon as you add the oil to ensure even distribution. - Avoid pouring too much at once, as this can lead to clumping. - Continue stirring until the oil fully integrates, forming a dry, crumbly texture. - If the mixture remains too wet, add a small amount of tapioca maltodextrin and continue mixing. - Pass the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or flour sifter to break up any clumps. - This step ensures that the powder has a smooth, evenly distributed consistency. - If needed, repeat the sifting process to ensure maximum refinement. - Transfer the finished cannabis powder into an airtight container. - Keep it in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight. - The powder can last for several months if kept moisture-free.✅ Your water-soluble cannabis powder is now ready to use!

Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes

- The powder is clumping: Add more tapioca maltodextrin and sift again. If necessary, break up the clumps with a fork before sifting. - The powder is too oily: Use less cannabis oil and increase the amount of lecithin to improve emulsification. You can also let the mixture sit for a few minutes and then mix again to allow absorption. - Doesn’t dissolve completely in water: Stir well or use a small blender or frother for better integration. Some sediment may settle at the bottom if not stirred properly. - The powder has a strong cannabis taste: This can result from an overly potent infusion. Reduce the THC concentration or use a milder strain of cannabis oil. - Decarb your cannabis: Bake ground cannabis at 220°F (105°C) for 30–40 minutes to activate THC or CBD. - Infuse with oil: Simmer decarbed cannabis in MCT oil or coconut oil at low heat for 2-3 hours. - Strain and store: Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove plant material. - Beverages: Mix into coffee, tea, smoothies, or juices. - Sauces & Dressings: Add to soups, salad dressings, and condiments. - Baking: Incorporate into dry ingredients for brownies, cookies, or pancakes.

An Introduction to THC-Based Drinks

Driven by their creative approach to enjoying the advantages of cannabis without the conventional smoking experience, THC-infused drinks have become rather popular. These drinks provide cannabis users seeking a cool substitute for sweets and joints with a simple and covert choice. The primary psychoactive element in cannabis that provides a spectrum of effects—from relaxation to more creativity—is THC, sometimes known as tetrahydrocannabinol. THC-infused drinks let consumers savour a range of tastes and simultaneously get the relaxing or euphoric effects of cannabis. This post will look at the world of thc infused drinks, their advantages, and how they fit into the changing cannabis scene.

Liquid THC Drinks: Their Evolution

Liquid THC drink alternatives are becoming one of the most fascinating developments in the market as the cannabis sector keeps expanding. These precisely formulated drinks allow for regulated THC levels that give a constant and dependable experience. Liquid THC drinks exist in a variety to suit different taste preferences, whether your preferred beverage is a sparkling soda, tea, or even a flavoured water. As cannabis is becoming legal in different areas, more companies are entering the market to provide original recipes. These drinks give people flexibility and convenience without resorting to smoking or vaping; they let them regulate their dosage.

Ad advantages of THC-infused drinks

One of the key benefits of drinking THC-infused beverages is liquid cannabis's rapid-acting character. Liquid THC drinks are taken into the bloodstream more rapidly than edibles, which could take longer to start effects, thereby producing a faster onset of effects. This helps consumers to estimate the strength of their drink better and modify their consumption. These drinks are also more subtle than smoking, which makes them perfect for people who like to enjoy cannabis in public at social events without drawing attention. For both novice and experienced cannabis users, THC-infused drinks provide a more seamless, under-control experience.

Examining the Variations in THC-Infused Drinks

From coffee to glistening water, THC-infused beverages provide a great variety. To improve the taste and provide the relaxing effects of THC, many companies add natural flavours, including citrus, berry, or tropical fruit, into their beverages. Tailored to certain customer demands, there are also specialised beverages meant to encourage relaxation, creativity, or attention. Certain manufacturers mix THC with other useful herbs or supplements to create functional drinks with extra health advantages. There is probably a liquid THC drink meant to fit your demands, whether your search is for something to relax after a demanding day or a creative boost.

How to Savvyly Enjoy THC-Infused Drinks

Like any cannabis product, one should utilise THC-infused drinks sensibly. Start with a small amount and wait for the effects to set in before drinking more since individual tolerance and the intensity of the drink will affect how THC affects you. Since the effects can occasionally be more strong than expected, beginners should exercise especially caution. To be sure you are ingesting the right amount for your expertise level, always review the dosage information on the container. If you recently started using THC, think about seeing a medical practitioner to know better how these drinks could interact with any drugs you could be on and with your body.

Conclusion:

Options for liquid THC drinks are transforming our cannabis intake. Perfect for a range of events and tastes, these fast-acting, flavourful, and understated substitutes for smoking or eating are unobtrusive. THC-infused drinks offer a quick and fun solution, whether your goals are to unwind after a demanding day or boost your creativity. Growing demand for cannabis products means even more fascinating advancements in the field of THC beverages could be expected. See Meloseltzer.com for a selection of premium THC-infused beverages for individuals intrigued in investigating these possibilities.

How Smoking Vape Helps Keep the Body Warm During Cold Weather

Importance of Vaping in Cold Weather

Vaping during cold weather offers more than just a flavorful and enjoyable experience—it can actually help the body stay warm in specific ways. While vaping itself does not directly increase body temperature like physical activity does, it can indirectly support warmth regulation, improve circulation, and create a soothing effect that makes cold conditions feel more manageable.

1. The Role of Nicotine and Cannabinoids in Body Temperature Regulation

If you use nicotine-based vapes or cannabis carts like Big Chief Carts, Fryd Carts, or Muha Meds Carts, these substances can influence thermoregulation, the process by which the body maintains a stable internal temperature.

🔹 How Nicotine Affects Warmth Perception

Nicotine acts as a vasoconstrictor, meaning it temporarily reduces blood flow to the skin and conserves heat in the body’s core. This can create a warming sensation for some vapers in cold weather.

However, excessive nicotine use can lead to long-term blood vessel constriction, which might reduce warmth over time. That’s why moderation is key to balancing the warming effect.

🔹 How Cannabis in Vape Carts Influences Body Heat

Cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, found in Muha Meds Carts and Fryd Carts, can influence body temperature regulation through the endocannabinoid system. THC can cause a mild increase in heart rate and circulation, which may contribute to a slight warming effect.

Indica strains help relax muscles, reducing shivering in cold conditions.

Sativa strains can boost metabolism and increase energy levels, indirectly making you feel warmer.

2. Warm Vapor vs. Cold Air: How Vaping Helps the Lungs Adjust to Cold Weather

Cold air can be harsh on the lungs, especially for people with asthma or sensitive airways. Inhaling warm vapor from a vape helps:

✔ Moisturize the throat and airways, reducing irritation caused by dry winter air. ✔ Prevent throat discomfort associated with breathing in freezing temperatures. ✔ Reduce the shock effect of cold air on the respiratory system, making breathing easier outdoors.

This is especially beneficial for outdoor workers, winter sports enthusiasts, or people who frequently commute in cold climates.

3. The Psychological Comfort of Vaping in Cold Weather

Just like drinking a hot beverage on a cold day, vaping provides psychological warmth and relaxation. Many users report that vaping during cold weather feels cozier and more soothing, making it an effective stress-relief tool.

Flavored vapes (like vanilla, coffee, or dessert-inspired flavors) enhance the comforting experience.

Nicotine and THC in vape carts can stimulate dopamine release, creating a feeling of warmth and satisfaction.

This mental relaxation effect can help people feel more comfortable in cold conditions.

4. Enhancing Circulation to Keep Hands and Feet Warm

Cold weather can restrict blood flow to extremities (hands, feet, ears), causing discomfort or even numbness. The slight increase in circulation from nicotine or THC consumption can help counteract cold-induced vasoconstriction, keeping extremities slightly warmer.

✔ Big Chief Carts provide a smooth THC-rich experience, promoting mild vasodilation (expansion of blood vessels). ✔ Nicotine vapes can offer short bursts of warmth by stimulating the nervous system.

Tip: Pair vaping with movement (like walking) for optimal circulation benefits in winter!

5. Reduced Discomfort Compared to Smoking in Cold Weather

Traditional smoking in cold weather often feels harsher due to:

Dry throat from burning tobacco

Increased coughing due to cold air exposure

Lingering smoke smell in winter clothing

Vaping offers a smoother alternative, especially with disposable vapes or high-quality cannabis carts like Fryd Carts and Muha Meds Carts, which allow for:

✔ Cooler, more controlled inhales ✔ Less irritation on the throat ✔ More enjoyable flavors that enhance warmth perception

6. Convenience of Vaping in Winter Conditions

Cold weather often makes traditional smoking inconvenient, but vaping is much easier and more efficient because: ✔ Disposable vapes require no lighting or preparation – perfect for cold outdoor use. ✔ No ash or lingering smoke odor – keeps your hands and clothes fresh. ✔ Quick puffs provide instant satisfaction – ideal for short vaping breaks in freezing weather.

FAQs About Vaping in Cold Weather

🟢 Does vaping actually help keep you warm?

While vaping doesn’t physically raise body temperature, it can:

Create a warming sensation through nicotine or THC stimulation.

Improve circulation, which may help keep extremities warmer.

Provide psychological comfort, making cold weather more bearable.

🟢 Is it safe to vape in freezing temperatures?

Yes, but keep in mind:

Cold air thickens vape oil (store cartridges at room temperature).

Battery life decreases in the cold (keep devices warm in a pocket).

Condensation can clog cartridges (take slower inhales to avoid excess moisture buildup).

🟢 Which vape products are best for winter?

✔ Disposable vapes – No charging needed, perfect for on-the-go use. ✔ Big Chief Carts – High THC potency, great for relaxation. ✔ Fryd Carts – Smooth oil consistency, even in cold weather. ✔ Muha Meds Carts – Variety of flavors for a winter-friendly vaping experience.

Conclusion: Why Vaping is Ideal for Cold Weather

Vaping in cold weather offers several benefits, including: ✔ Enhanced warmth perception through nicotine and THC effects ✔ Moisturizing vapor that reduces throat irritation in cold air ✔ Improved circulation, which may keep extremities warmer ✔ Mental relaxation and comfort, making cold conditions feel cozier ✔ Convenience and ease of use compared to smoking

🔥 Stay Warm and Enjoy Winter Vaping!

For the best cold-weather vaping experience, stock up on Disposable Vapes, Big Chief Carts, Fryd Carts, and Muha Meds Carts for premium flavors, smooth hits, and optimal winter performance.

Why Gen Z is Getting Sloshed Less

s Dry January begins, there's one generation that has already begun cutting back on alcohol: Gen Z.

Data from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism indicates that alcohol consumption in the U.S. has risen overall. But research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse shows that lifetime drinking, past month drinking, and past year drinking among young people began to decline around the year 2000. That means that such declines have especially impacted Generation Z, defined as anyone born from 1997 to 2012, and some Millennials, born between 1981 and 1996. A 2023 survey from Gallup found that the share of adults under age 35 who say they ever drink dropped ten percentage points in two decades, to 62% in 2021-2023 from 72% in 2001-2003.

“It is becoming clear that, for whatever reasons, today’s younger generations are just less interested in alcohol and are more likely than older generations to see it as risky for their health and to participate in periods of abstinence like Dry January,” said National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism George F. Koob in a statement.

There isn’t one clear reason for alcohol’s decline among Gen Z, but experts point to a variety of factors. 

One may be changing laws, including the 1984 National Minimum Drinking Age Act, which set the age to purchase or publicly possess alcoholic beverages to 21.

Prior to that, the minimum age to drink was 18.

Alcohol’s social reputation has also changed. “It makes sense that older drinkers are drinking more, given that Baby Boomers were steeped in a heavier drinking culture,” said Koob. 

Adds Sybil Marsh, a physician specializing in family medicine and addiction:“There was a time where drinking some alcohol was a badge of maturity and was sophisticated. But now, it's only one out of a whole range of ways ppl can relax or show sophistication and so on.”

Marijuana could be a part of that shift. The drug is legal in nearly half of all U.S. states for recreational use. Nearly 80% of Americans live in a county with at least one cannabis dispensary, according to the Pew Research Center, and cannabis has been put into drinks being marketed to youngerconsumers. Koob says it's unclear whether the decline in drinking among Gen Z Americans has to do with a preference for drugs. The 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that 36.5% of adults aged 18 to 25 consumed marijuana in the past year. And if you look at marijuana use across a lifetime, some 1 in 2 adults in the same age range have at least tried marijuana, according to the same study. Still, that study showed alcohol use in the past year exceeded marijuana use, with 68.1% of the same age group consuming alcohol.

Another contributing factor has to do with the changing socialization patterns of younger generations. “Alcohol tends to be a social drug, even for young people, so part of the decline in underage drinking could be related to less in-person socializing,” said Koob. On average, the amount of time people spent with friends in-person decreased from 30 hours a month in 2003 to 10 hours a month in 2020, according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s advisory on the epidemic of loneliness. That decline was especially marked for people aged 15 to 24.

Marsh says that younger generations are much more interested in living healthy lifestyles than generations past, and evolving alcohol marketing tactics reflect those changing values. “If you look at alcohol marketing, they're sort of stopping short of saying it's healthy to have some drinks, but drinking can be part of a healthy lifestyle,” she says, “as opposed to the Gen X type of marketing, which was like, ‘party hard.’” 

There’s been a wave of sober bars opening across the U.S.—Hekate in New York City, Sans Bar in Austin, and The Sober Social in Atlanta, to name a few—to accommodate for changing attitudes about alcohol.

Emerson Haven, a 26-year-old stage director and student based in New York City, occasionally drinks in social settings, but often opts for a sober night out for health reasons. “There’s a history of alcoholism in my family, so I'm just careful about it. I never drink alcohol if I feel like I'm having a bad day, because I don't want to create that association,” he says. “And then sometimes I just don't enjoy the feeling of being drunk.”

Exploring Cannabis Edibles: Production and Effects

Cannabis edibles have gained significant popularity in recent years as an alternative way to consume cannabis. Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles offer a discreet, smoke-free method of enjoying the effects of cannabis. They come in various forms such as cookies, candies, chocolates, and beverages, making them appealing to a wide range of consumers. Let's delve into how cannabis edibles are made and understand their effects.

Production Process:

Decarboxylation: The key step in making cannabis edibles is decarboxylation. This process involves heating raw cannabis flower or concentrate to activate the cannabinoids like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) present in the plant material. This activation is necessary for the cannabinoids to have psychoactive or therapeutic effects.

Infusion: Once decarboxylated, the cannabis is infused into a fat or oil base like butter, coconut oil, or vegetable oil. This infusion process allows the cannabinoids to bind with the fat molecules, which makes them more readily absorbed by the body when ingested.

Cooking/Baking: The infused oil or butter is then used in various recipes to create cannabis-infused edibles. These can range from baked goods like brownies, cookies, and cakes to savory items like candies, chocolates, gummies, and even beverages.

Effects of Cannabis Edibles:

The effects of cannabis edibles differ from smoking or vaping due to the way cannabinoids are absorbed into the body. When you ingest cannabis through edibles, the cannabinoids are metabolized by the liver before entering the bloodstream. This process produces a different set of effects that are typically more potent and longer-lasting compared to inhalation methods. Here are some key points about the effects of cannabis edibles:

Delayed Onset: One distinctive feature of edibles is their delayed onset of effects. While smoking or vaping cannabis delivers effects almost instantly, edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. This delay occurs because the cannabinoids must be digested and metabolized before reaching the bloodstream.

Potency: Edibles can be quite potent due to the concentration of cannabinoids in the infused oil or butter. It's important for users to start with a low dose and wait to gauge the effects before consuming more. Overconsumption of edibles can lead to unpleasant experiences characterized by intense intoxication, anxiety, or paranoia.

Longer Duration: Another notable aspect of edibles is their prolonged duration of effects. Once the cannabinoids are absorbed into the bloodstream, the effects can last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours or even longer, depending on the individual's metabolism and tolerance.

Body High vs. Head High: Many users report experiencing more of a body-centered high with edibles, characterized by deep relaxation and sedation. This is in contrast to the cerebral, head-focused high often associated with smoking or vaping cannabis.

Safety and Responsible Use:

Using cannabis edibles responsibly involves understanding dosage, onset time, and potential effects. Here are some tips for safe consumption:

Start Low, Go Slow: Begin with a low dose (typically 5-10mg of THC) and wait at least 2 hours before considering consuming more.

Read Labels: Always check the THC/CBD content per serving in commercial edibles to better manage dosage.

Store Safely: Keep cannabis edibles securely stored away from children and pets, preferably in child-resistant packaging.

Avoid Mixing with Alcohol: Combining edibles with alcohol can amplify the effects and increase the risk of adverse reactions.

In conclusion, cannabis edibles offer a convenient and discrete way to enjoy the effects of cannabis without smoking. Understanding how they are made and their effects is crucial for safe and enjoyable consumption. As the legal landscape surrounding cannabis evolves, edibles continue to be a popular choice for both recreational and medicinal users seeking an alternative to traditional consumption methods.
