More people are using cannabis to relax, to sleep, or for medical reasons. It has become popular with all ages and all over the country. But for those new to it and don’t want to smoke or vape, there is an alternative other than edibles. Cannabis tinctures and oils offer a discreet and precise way to consume marijuana, providing fast-acting effects and easy dosing.

The most common and efficient method of using a cannabis tincture is sublingual administration:

  1. Shake the tincture bottle well before use.
  2. Using the dropper, place the desired dose under your tongue.
  3. Hold the liquid there for 60-90 seconds without swallowing
  4. After holding, swish the remaining tincture around your mouth before swallowing.

This method allows for rapid absorption through the sublingual blood vessels, resulting in faster onset of effects compared to oral ingestion. You can expect to feel the effects within 15-30 minutes, lasting for up to 3 hours.

Can Cannabis Help During Flu Season

The cold weather is arriving and with it comes flu season…but maybe a type of cannabis can help.

The days are getting shorter and the weather a bit more difficult. Which drives people indoors and provides a great chance of catching something – like the flu. People packed together along with cold, dry air, which can weaken resistance, make it easier to catch the virus. But can cannabis help during flu season? As interest in natural remedies grows, many are exploring cannabis as a complementary option for managing discomfort during illness.

Studies show cannabis contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, which some believe could help alleviate flu symptoms. It can also help manage flu symptoms like pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. A key factor is how to consume and the dosage amount.  Smoking, including vaping, can aggravate the virus and the lungs.  The most soothing way would be via edibles, like gummies, or tincture/oils.

Pain Relief – Cannabinoids like THC and CBD have analgesic properties that may help alleviate body aches and headaches associated with the flu. By binding to pain receptors, cannabis can reduce the perception of pain and provide comfort.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects – The flu triggers inflammation as part of the immune response. CBD, in particular, is known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, This may help reduce swelling and discomfort in the respiratory tract.

Sleep Aid – Getting adequate rest is crucial for recovery. Cannabis, especially strains high in THC, can have sedative effects that may help those struggling with flu-related insomnia

Appetite Stimulation – The “munchies” effect of cannabis could be beneficial for flu patients experiencing reduced appetite. Maintaining proper nutrition is important for the body’s healing process.
Interestingly, some research indicates that cannabis may offer temporary respiratory relief.  It might help with bronchodilatation. Infrequent cannabis use has been shown to open airways for 15-60 minutes, potentially easing shortness of breath. Cannabis may act as an expectorant, helping to clear phlegm from the lungs and throat.

Cannabis may offer a natural approach to managing some flu symptoms, particularly pain, inflammation, and sleep disturbances. However, it’s not a replacement for proper medical care, hydration and rest. As research continues, there will develop a clearer understanding of how cannabis interacts with the immune system during viral infections. Always talk with a health professional if you have flu or flu like symptoms.

Cannabis, has deep roots in Hindu mythology and religious practices. The ancient Vedic texts mention cannabis, sometimes referring to it as “Vijahia” (source of happiness) or “Ananda” (laughter-provoker). Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, is closely associated with cannabis. According to the Rudrayamal Danakand and Karmakand, Shiva tells his consort Parvati about the benefits, elevating its status to a sacred plant. The use of cannabis in India dates back to ancient times, with evidence suggesting its presence as early as 1000 BC. The Atharva Veda, an ancient sacred text, refers to cannabis as a “liberator from sin” and “heavenly guide”. This long-standing cultural acceptance has led to cannabis being integrated into various religious and social practices.

Cannabis is an element of Diwali celebrations for all participants. Yogis or sadhus along with other Hindu mystics have been known to smoke a mixture of cannabis sativa and tobacco in order to enhance meditation. In Hinduism, it’s believed drinking bhang during religious rites can cleanse sins, unite one with Shiva, and avoid hell in the future.

If taken in proper quantity, bhang is believed to cure fever, dysentery, and sunstroke, to clear phlegm, aid in digestion, increase appetite, cure speech imperfections and lisping, and give alertness to the body. Because the country’s legal definition of ‘cannabis’ does not include the leaves of the cannabis plant, it preserves the legality of bhang.

It is a popular tourist destination as part of the US, but what about consuming cannabis there?

Over 5 million people travel to Puerto Rico each year, the island territory of the US is popular with tourists. Beaches, outdoor adventures, good food and sun are always a popular draw and it is considered a safe and easy destinations. Millions of American’s have visited, but as the US embraces marijuana, what about US territory Puerto Rico and cannabis?
Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States as a result of the Spanish-American War in 1898. In 1898, the United States went to war with Spain and invaded their colony Puerto Rico on July 25, 1898. It has been under Spanish rule for over 400 years.War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris with Spain ceding Puerto Rico to the United States, along with other territories like Guam. After the war, Puerto Rico came under direct U.S. military rule for about two years. In 1900, the U.S. Congress passed the Foraker Act, which established a civilian government for Puerto Rico and officially designated it as an “unincorporated territory” belonging to the United States.  It has some benefits of the US, but not a formal voice in the Congress.

The locals have nothing against fun, the national drink of Puerto Rico is the Pina Coloda. Made with local rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice. It’s often made without rum so that everyone can enjoy it. Also, 85% of the population identifies as Catholic, a faith that doesn’t mind some wine.

Like the mainland US, Puerto Rico enacted legislation banning cannabis in 1932, making it illegal to plant, import, purchase, or sell marijuana. The prohibition remained in place for decades, with attempts at decriminalization failing to gain traction. In 2013, a proposal to decriminalize cannabis was met with significant public opposition, with 70% of those surveyed against the idea.

A major shift occurred in 2015 when Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla signed an executive order permitting the use of medical cannabis. This was followed in 2017 by the passage of Act 42-2017, officially legalizing cannabis for medicinal purposes in Puerto Rico.The medical cannabis program established regulations for:

  • Licensing of dispensaries, cultivators, processors, and caregivers
  • Safety protocols including product testing and labeling requirements
  • Taxation of cannabis sales to fund social programs and education initiatives

While smoking cannabis remains prohibited, other forms of consumption are permitted for approved medical conditions. Recreational use of cannabis in Puerto Rico remains illegal. Possession is considered a crime with some type of punishment.

However, in 2015 the governor advised judges not to imprison defendants caught with less than 6 grams of cannabis, indicating some leniency for small amounts. Despite its illegal status, marijuana remains one of the most commonly abused illicit drugs in Puerto Rico

Does Marijuana Have Any Sway In The Election

It has become not only accepted, but popular – but do people care about cannabis when they vote?

Since 2016 cannabis has began slowly legalizing across Canada and the US. Recent research says almost 90% believe it should be legalized.  Additionally, California Sober has become a thing, beer sales have flattened and even AARP has joined esteemed medical organizations saying cannabis should be recognized for the health benefits. States are reaping huge tax revenue, but the industry is still struggling without some type of federal recognization. But does marijuana have any sway in the election?

Top concerns of voters include the economy, healthcare, the Supreme Court and abortion, with over 60% of voters considering them very important. And although cannabis consumers use is generally seen more of a democrat habit than republicans, a number of repubicans are fans. Some larger influencers in the industry have been staunch supporter of the GOP nominee.  A recent poll found 42% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independent favor legalizing marijuana for both recreational and medical compared with 72% of Democrats.  Florida governor Ron DeSantis is struggling to prevent an expanded cannabis ballot initiative passing in Florida.  But do voters really consider marijuana when choosing?

While the industry is full of bros who believe they have influence over the election and congress, the numbers don’t add up. It isn’t a make or break issue for most voters. Biden delayed any action on marijuana, despite his promise in 2020, until the last part of this term.  Because of this, even if he manages to push things through with the Drug Enforcement Administration, it will be 2025 before any help comes. The GOP nominee’s has come out in support of the Florida initiative against his old foe DeSantis, but leaders in his party are against any legal form of marijuana. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has made it very clear cannabis is a no go.
A recent YouGov poll revealed , voters trust the Democratic nominee to handle cannabis laws (27 percent), compared to the GOP candidate (20 percent). But more Trump supporters say marijuana issues are important them (17 percent) than Harris supporters (11 percent).  It could mean older conservative believe the GOP will reverse marijuana trends.

The good news is alcohol is a major partner of cannabis having invested over $13 billion in the industry, and they have a longer term relationship with Congress.  Constellation, one of the largest players of spirits, wine and beer, made $22 billion in revenue last year compared to the $33 billon the entire marijuana raked in.

Does the industry have a say in the election, absolutely via support, donation and campaigns.  But on average, marijuana is not a major issue for most voters.
