Great Ways to Use CBD

Marijuana is a very diverse and beneficial plant by nature. Even still, medical and technological advancements have allowed us to find even more uses and practical benefits from the cannabis plant. It is generally known that cannabis contains THC, which is the part of the plant that gets one “high” or causes the psychedelic effects. But did you know that there is also another important part of cannabis? One of the compounds most sought after by medical marijuana patients is called cannabidiol (also known as CBD). This is the part of the plant that does not get one high but offers a great deal of medical benefits and overall well-being.

In fact, CBD is commonly used by medical patients all over the United States to treat things like chronic diseases and serious medical conditions, mostly due to the way that CBD can reduce inflammation and create relaxation on a cellular level! Most articles that you can find me writing about include conversations and discussions centered around both CBD and THC. Like I said earlier, THC offers that elevated mindset or “high”, which makes it a great thing to pair with CBD. In a lot of ways, people generally regard cannabis as a plant that treats the mind through THC and treats the body through CBD. Someone call Hannah Montanna because I think we just found the best of both worlds. CBD is also great for medical marijuana patients who want to find relief from their chronic pain and disease symptoms, but do not want to smoke weed to actually get high.

There is nothing wrong with this at all, and every person is entitled to use their own medical marijuana as they see fit. So what are some great ways to use CBD in your life today? The great thing about CBD is that it is much more accessible to people in the United States, since some states do not include THC as part of their medical marijuana programs. EVer since the FDA finally approved hemp-based CBD as a supplement, you can legally buy it anywhere across the United States.

One of the most common ways to use CBD is through the consumption of edibles. We are all familiar with cannabis edibles like “pot brownies” and all of that. However, CBD edibles are basically like finding ways to eat your medicine. Most medical dispensaries will sell edibles that only contain CBD oil, and you can even make your CBD edibles at home by mixing the oil into your food. This is a great way for many medical patients to get their CBD, especially because it allows for very exact doses. The only problem with using CBD edibles is that they can often take a while to take effect, sometimes up to two hours! So if you are looking for immediate results, you better try some of the other consumption methods that we are about to talk about next.

The next way to use CBD that we are going to talk about is through the use of topicals and creams. CBD topicals have become more popular among younger and older generations alike, and many are using them to find relief from their arthritis, eczema, chronic pain, and muscle spasms. Like I said earlier, CBD is a very effective medicine when it comes to reducing pain and inflammation. The nice thing about cannabis topicals is that they can be used in so many different ways, whether through lotions, soaps, lip balm, conditioners, ointments, and various other topical products. Basically, anything that you can normally put on your body, you can do with the help of CBD I hope this article was helpful for you, make sure to pick up some CBD at your local dispensary today!

Edibles, Smoking, or Vaping? Let’s Talk

If you are new to cannabis, then you might feel pretty overwhelmed when confronted with all of the front end knowledge about various marijuana products that are available to you on the market. It is true that cannabis has become more accessible to people across the United States than it ever has been before. Part of this is due to the fact that medical advancements and technological advancements have made it possible to enjoy using cannabis in a great variety of ways that are not just about smoking anymore. In fact, many people swear by using cannabis products like edibles, tinctures, topicals, and vaping instead of just smoking a bowl of weed like the good old days.

However, it can be hard for new people in the world of marijuana to understand all of the nuances and differences between each form of cannabis consumption and when it is right for them. One of the great parts about the medical marijuana industry is that medical patients must get approval and referral from a licensed doctor or physician in order to qualify for a medical marijuana card. What this means is that people can get valuable insight and information about the type of medical marijuana usage that can best fit their needs and desires, because the doctors will be able to make knowledgeable recommendations based on your medical history and your current physical and mental conditions. So what are some of the primary differences between smoking and eating cannabis? Well, let’s talk about them together and go through each one, making sure that you know the ins and outs of each before you head off to the dispensary.

Smoking cannabis has long been the standing favorite when it comes to marijuana consumption. Still today, smoking weed is the most popular form across both recreational and medical users. Before you start a certain cannabis product, it is important to keep in mind that each one is different and that no two marijuana products are the same. It is critical that you acknowledge the potency of each product and consider how it may affect you. When it comes to effectiveness and speed, smoking is generally considered to be the best form of consuming cannabis. Smoking weed allows you to feel the results the fastest, and sometimes the heaviest. However, this also means that the weed’s impact is also quick to diminish as well.

Since smoking weed is the most popular method of cannabis consumption, you will never have to worry about a shortage on the market. Most medical dispensaries keep a very high stick on a variety of marijuana buds and flowers that are perfect for smoking. Plus, you can experience the flavorful and beneficial terpenes and cannabinoids that go along with smoking your weed. However, it is important to keep in mind that smoking anything is not necessarily good for your lungs. Though we know that smoking weed is not as bad for you as cigarettes, we still do not have any studies and long term effects of smoking weed on the human lungs.

Therefore, it is safe to say that one should take into consideration the effect on the lungs that smoking anything can have. Another part of inhaling marijuana comes in the form of vaping, which is a much newer method of consuming cannabis. Vaping is similar to smoking in a lot of ways, but the weed is heated at lower temperatures and means that you’ll have less discomfort and irritation on your lungs that one might find with smoking weed. Research shows that this may be the ideal way to use cannabis! I hope this helps, we will talk about edibles another time.
