What To Expect When Microdosing Marijuana For Depression

Depression hits millions. Microdosing could be helpful and part of a solution.

Affecting 40+ million adults each year in the US and Canada, it can be rough. Unfortunately, it can emerge slowly, making it hard to recognize it. Almost 60% of those with it do not seek help, but cannabis can help. With the right dosage and with a health professional’s guidance, life can be better.

Some of the symptoms of depression include:

poor concentration.
feelings of excessive guilt or low self-worth.
disrupted sleep
changes in appetite or weight
feeling very tired or low in energy
hopelessness about the future
thoughts about dying or suicide

If you have any of these symptoms, you should seek medical health. There are treatments, and cannabis is among the tools to help. Some studies have even found small marijuana doses (microdosing) can be better for patients with specific ailments, and large doses can exacerbate the very symptoms cannabis has been prescribed to treat.

A Canadian study found THC, one of the main compounds in marijuana which produces the euphoric effect, is an effective anti-depressant at low doses. Since cannabis strains have different amounts of THC and a number of physiological factors, such as how much a person consumes, can affect how it affects the brain.

The researchers noted: “Because controlling the dosage of natural cannabis is difficult – particularly when it is smoked in the form of marijuana joints – there are perils associated with using it directly as an antidepressant.”

Many situations can contribute to depression, including diet, heredity and stress. Researchers at the University of Buffalo, in another study, found THC reduced chronic stress levels. Samir Haj-Dahmane, PhD., said:

“Chronic stress is one of the major causes of depression. … Using compounds derived from cannabis — marijuana — to restore normal endocannabinoid function could potentially help stabilize moods and ease depression.”

More research and patient information needs to be gathered regarding marijuana and depression. It has been to proven to help chronic pain, inflammation, and other health issues.If you have depression, work with a medical professional to determine treatment options.

Key Tips For Consuming Marijuana At The Local Fair

Fall is the time county fairs, carnivals, and more come to time…while engaging in the fun, there are few tip to know if you are going to consuming marijuana

September is a highlight for country fairs followed by October for the Halloween carnivals. Elephant ears, Ferris wheels and midways all appeal to our childlike delight for fun, excitement, different foods and more. But what if you want to chill out while attending? Well here are key tips for consuming marijuana at the local fair?

With over 50% of the country having access to legal marijuana, some are taking it for granted like it a beer and is accepted everywhere. But it is wise to think ahead, especially since you are with large groups of people – including families and kids. The Minnesota State Fair is the largest daily attended fair and the Texas State Fair, which is the largest in the country by total attendance, drew a peak daily attendance in 2023 of 141,410 but a total attendance of 2,341,449. Some parts of the fair are geared for kids, others for a mixed crowd, like the pirate ship and roller coasters.

Fairs are a sensation extravaganza. The lights, noises, movements, smells and food appeal to all the senses. The midway is the main path or street fairgoers walk along to find sideshows, concession stands, and other amusements.

The first thing is be discreet, fairs are family events. Consider a vape or gummies over smoking. They provide less smell, so are less noticeable. With a vape you can also manage your high.

If you are new to consuming marijuana, consider a low level high so you aren’t overwhelmed by the mass amount of sensations. It will also let you experience both things without freaking out. Part of a gummy might put you in the right spot to absorb everything going on and appreciate it at the next level.

The fair is about food, so know if you are prone to the munchies, this will be a fiesta of flavors. Consider eating beforehand or know this will be a cheat day. From fried butter to hot dogs, it is all going to look good.

Start slow on the rides. Let the high settle into your mind and body before boarding the scrambler. This gives your body time to adjust so there isn’t any unpleasant surprises.

Some fun fact, cotton candy was originally called “fairy floss” and was invented in 1897 by candy makers William Morris and John C. Wharton of Nashville, Tennessee. It was introduced in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair.

Presidential Elections Are All Over The Board For Marijuana

Presidential Elections Are All Over The Board For Marijuana

It is an odd, odd one – this year election is all over the board, especially for marijuana

This presidential election is turning out to be one for the history books. With Biden dropping out, a Kennedy becoming a major player, AI, and a nation on edge, it is becoming a year which is flustering the public. Few expect a clear outcome the night of the election and worries abound for the results. One key group worried is the cannabis industry, the presidential elections are all over the board for marijuana.

While state legalization is increasing and consumer use is significantly growing, federal restrictions along with chaos in New York and California caused the industry to crash in 2022 and it has struggled ever since. The Biden administration’s last minute push to follow through on the 2020 campaign to help the industry has become a dud. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has delayed any action until December, guaranteeing zero industry support for 2024. While all this is bad news, the candidates positions involve and change.

In the GOP camp, the presidential nominee has been indifferent toward marijuana. While he doesn’t drink, he seems to flow with popular opinion. He just posted support of recreational legalization in Florida (against his foe DeSantis) and seems to be positive toward the industry. But his team has made it clear cannabis is bad. The GOP Vice President candidate has not be a fan, voted against in the Senate and has been quiet on his stance. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is taking the place of Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in trying to be a cannabis killer.

The GOP has an “extra man” in Robert Kennedy,Jr who has been positioned as a top tier leader. Kennedy is pro marijuana and recently attacked the Democratic Presidential candidate for her history against marijuana.

In the Democratic team, Biden was very slow in supporting the industry. Aside from pardons, which helped some individuals, it took 3 years for him to make a move. Thousands of small mom and pop businesses in the industry placed hope in him, but have had struggled to pay bills. A seasoned policy lawmaker, it seems Biden’s team played a reschedule date game to see if they can convince younger voters. When it wasn’t needed, the DEA left the cannabis industry to twist in the wind. Harris has changed from being anti-marijuana during her time in California to being seemingly open to increased legalization. She has brought it up in her campaign, but it isn’t a major policy plank.

The only clear record is the Democratic Vice Presidential Tim Walz. As Governor of Minnesota, he has been a clear champion of legal cannabis. He seems to understand the medical benefits, the economic value to states, how it supports mom and pop businesses, can help veterans and reduces crime. He seems to be the only real champion.

Weed makes visual experiences better and emotional ones deeper, which is why watching a movie while high can feel much stronger than if you were to watch it sober. The same applies to a visit to a museum or an art gallery. While you might annoy your friend or whoever you’re with your deep musings, you will for sure be having a great time.

Enjoy a picnic feast

Can CBD Oil Take Massages To The Next Level

Whether for medical or relaxation – massages are a treat. But can CBD oil take it to the next level?

Since ancient times, massages have been used for relaxation and wellness. A way to help the body and relax the mind, it has been a benefit for hundreds of millions across history. Currently, it is a $22+ billion industry, filled with mom and pop businesses. But next time you have a one, can CBD oil take massages to the next level?

Massages improve the flow of blood and lymph to reduce muscular tension, to impact the nervous system through stimulation and/or relaxation/sedation, and to heal tissue. CBD helps with relaxation, chronic pain, inflammation, migraines, and more. A combination could increase the enjoyment and benefits.

CBD massages are popular and are becoming more common. Generally, spas use hemp-CBD massage oil since CBD cannabis is still not fully legal.While there needs more research to understand better the medicinal benefits, studies conducted found stress relief, anxiety relief, and overall mood enhancement. CBD with hemp contains 0.3% or less THC. Hemp CBD oil doesn’t offer a psychoactive high, though important to note, cannabis topicals do not offer a mental high, even if THC-based.

Some studies have suggested CBD has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, but these effects need to be validated in larger, quality studies. Many people with arthritis have tried CBD, but the anecdotal evidence they report is mixed. Some people report noticeable pain relief, sleep improvement and/or anxiety reduction, while others do not. As with any medication for arthritis, some people do not report any symptom improvements when taking CBD.

CBD might relax you, but doesn’t make you high, it disconnects you somewhat from stressors and emotions, much like a pharmaceutical. You avoid the adverse reactions being stoned. So you can drive after the massage.

Is CBN Right For You

Sitting at the crossroads of THC and CBD – CBD helps with sleep and pain. Could it be right for you?

Marijuana is been proven a benefit to the medical world and the American Medical Association, Health and Human Services, the American College of Physicians and the Food and Drug administration all support increasing it’s reach and for more research. It has been shown to be particularly helpful with chronic pain, nausea, and sleep. The cannabis plant provide a variety of cannabinols, including CBD, marijuana and CBN. But the medical question is CBN right for you? It sits at the crossroads between CBD and THC can be useful with health issues.

Like CBD and THC, CBN is among the 100+ molecules in the cannabis plant. When THC is heated and exposed to CO2 (oxygen), it converts to CBN. The compound is said to have a mild psychoactive effect, slightly more so than CBD but much less than THC. Specifically, it is said to have a sedating effect on most users and to have promising sleep aid applications, similar to melatonin (among other potential uses).

The marketing of CBN as a dietary supplement may be viable, provided that no unapproved health claims are made and could be nationally legal as long as they have a THC concentration of 0.3% or less. Unlike CBN and like THC, CBN is legal in some states, but not federally. The FDA likes to point out that the 2018 Farm Bill explicitly preserved FDA’s authority to regulate products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds under the Food Drug & Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act. But the marketing of CBN as a dietary supplement may be viable nonetheless, provided that no unapproved health claims are made.

RELATED: What Is CBG And Is It Legal?

Unlike CBD, CBN not been approved as a drug, and FDA itself has acknowledged “parts of the cannabis plant that do not contain THC or CBD might fall outside the scope of the [drug exclusion rule].” As with CBG, if CBN is approved as a drug at some point down the line, it also seems likely that the drug exclusion rule would not apply: this is because the rule contains an exception for substances marketed as foods or dietary supplements prior to any FDA clinical investigation. People are already marketing CBN products as foods and dietary supplements.

But the question is still, is CBN right for you? With regards to sleep, it is can be a bit stronger than CBD alone. While melatonin is a known as a good over the counter sleep aid, it doesn’t work for everyone.

A clinical study looked into sleep improvements from 15 mg of CBD with or without 15 mg of CBN compared with 5 mg of melatonin. In the study, all groups reported improved sleep quality, and there were no significant differences between products. Since this study didn’t look at CBN alone, it isn’t a direct comparison. But it seems to indicate that products containing an equal amount of CBD and CBN are similarly effective to melatonin for sleep. And adding a CBD/CBN product to melatonin didn’t provide any added benefit.

CBN use showed relief in muscle and joint pain conditions with inflammation. Limited studies show The study also noted that pain relief was better when CBD and CBN were used together.

So CBN can be helpful if you need a little extra in over the counter help.

Tips For Consuming Marijuana At Football Games

Football season is upon us and people are heading to games…although it is legal, you might want to follow this tip to consume

Between professional and amateur football, over 50 million will attend in person and possible even tailgate. The crowds jam in to passionately watch their favorite teams. Michigan Stadium, known as “The Big House” by University of Michigan students, alumni, and fans seats over 107K. The energy is amazing. But there is a new attendee in Michigan and other states, legal marijuana. Long a bastion of beer, bourbon and more….legal cannabis is now available. But it can be a bit tricky. Here are some tips for consuming marijuana at football games.

As states roll out fully recreational marijuana and over 50% of the population have access to legal products, people see it as part of their buzz mix. Gen Z and others are drifting from alcohol and are looking at weed. California sober has become a thing, but you want ot thoughtful before you pull out a big blunt. In Ohio, is is a misdemeanor to consume in public, and while accepted, the plant’s odor can annoy those around you – and bring attention to your use.

Tailgating is a time honored game tradition. While most stop off a bar/restaurant to grab a bite or a pre-drink, others go for full classic. Classic tailgate parties in the parking lot are big deals, especially at some colleges. Full on bbqs, full bars and catered meals can be seen and smelled. But if you want to consume, you might want to be a little discreet and consider a THC or hemp beverage.

Most games have some underage attendees, so smell can be annoying to some parents. The guy drunk on beer can be forgiven publicly more often than the stoned guy who has a skunk smell. Consider using a vape, gummy or oil for the day. Vapes can provide a quick hit which takes effect within 5-10 minutes and you can manage the buzz during all 4 quarters. Oils also hit quickly, but are a little bit more difficult to manage the high, but experienced consumers know how to ride the wave.

Gummies are very common with roughly. 49% of people who consume trying one. While Wana Brands has a fast acting gummy, but take from 30-60 minutes to hit, so you can manage your high as you arrive and throughout the game. All of these options should be allowed through security without a problem.

Hopefully you can chill out and enjoy a big win for your favorite team next time you attend.

Biden Administration Puts A Knife Into The Cannabis Industry

Biden Administration Puts A Knife Into The Cannabis Industry

In surprise to no one considering the history of the administration leaders, Biden administration starts to wind down legal marijuana

Mom and pop businesses have been struggling the last 2 years. Thousands are in hte cannabis business, many having the hope from the Biden/Harris 2020 campaign about helping them. Almost 4 years later, there has been no change, and while marijuana use soars, federal government are putting hundreds of businesses out even in fully legal states. The DEA action is paving the way for a robust illegal market.

Has Biden administration killed put a knife into the cannabis industry. Has former foe of cannabis managed to effectively put a stop to the legal cannabis industry? Biden has been in the federal government for 51 years. His tenure has given him unique insight in how government works, the timeline and how to move projects forward. Until recently, Biden and Harris were anti-marijuana, but recognizing the direction of voters, especially younger voters, they made a pivot. But was it a move to try to engage the youth movement without having to deliver a final product? The announcement by the Drug Enforcement Administration to delay until at least 2 December has thrown the industry into a tailspin with stocks dropping due to the announcement.

Biden is quick to comment “Don’t tell me what you value. Show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value.” In 2020 the Biden/Harris ticket promised to help the industry by readdressing cannabis. But in reality, Biden waited over 3 years before he made the move. An experienced lawmaker understands the wheels of change moves slowly. Especially when the an agency like the DEA is resistant to the change. The timing of the start to reschedule cannabis allows the campaign to say “look what we are doing”, but actual change may or may not happen. In reality, Biden told the public he values cannabis, but he didn’t put a true push on an easy change until months before the end of his term. Most likely knowing the clock would run out. It is disappointing as the Veterans Administration acknowledged it is an important option for veterans, especially with those with PTSD.

Anne Milligan, is the administrator of the DEA and was appointed by the current administration. The DEA is a federal agency overseen by the presidential administration and has made it clear it is not onboard with 85+% of the population’s view on cannabis. It has also not been pleased Health and Human Services (HHS), The American Medical Association, Canada, the Food and Drug Administration and the American College of Physicians have all recommended rescheduling based on the science behind the plant’s medical benefits

The industry is full of mom and pop organizations who are trying to help build a new economic engine. Gen Z, understanding marijuana is healthy than alcohol, has embraced weed and beer sales have been down. Consumer use has soared among all age groups. Legal states have been reaping the economic benefits, but the DEA doesn’t seemed to be phased by the change of the public acceptance.

While Harris drinks alcohol, Biden and the GOP presidential nominee do not. Harris and Biden have a history of being strong legal cannabis foes. On the campaign trail, Harris seems to support the industry, but has done nothing publicly or via government regulations to help the small businesses in the sector.

Both Harris and Biden are seasoned policy markers, so it would come as no surprise the timeline or the announcement. Harris has revitalized part of the Democrat campaign with other opportunities to engage younger voters. Has the current administration pulled another bait and switch with the industry?

Should the Harris team lose, it gives House Speaker Mike Johnson a chance to end legal marijuana also. He is dead set against any form of legalization. Some leaders in the industry have doubts about the Biden/Harris take on marijuana and have been expanding into hemp, which Senator Mitch McConnell championed. So like another president, Gerald Ford when NYC was in trouble, Biden sent a very clear message to the industry.
