Stress, worry, an overly full stomach, noises….all conspire to steal shuteye from even the soundest sleepers. An estimated 50 million to 70 million people struggle with sleeping and almost everyone has issues no and again.  A good night is important to your health, especially since if you eat well and exercise, you lose less fat when you’re not getting enough sleep.

Pretend to be in REM sleep

This idea is a little out there, but it makes some sense. REM is short for rapid eye movement, signaling that super deep sleep where our eyes move behind our eyelids and we rest deeply. Lay down comfortably in bed and try to avoid thinking about anything. Close your eyes and follow the random patterns that appear behind your eyelids.

According to Lifehacker, you should know you’re on your way to sleeping once you start to see complete images, which is super trippy but sounds like solid advice.

Guided Imagery

Recalling a serene memory or imagining a peaceful setting can help reduce the stressors of the day to prepare your mind and body for sleep. Take slow, deep breaths and focus on sensory details, including sights, sounds, and smells to immerse yourself in an imagined space. You may find it helpful to use a pre-recorded soundtrack to direct your thoughts. Guided imagery soundtracks are widely available online.

Sleeping at night is very important, offering benefits long naps and mid-day sleeps are unable to provide. Sleeping during the day is harder and it may also disrupt your circadian rhythms, which have been associated to heart conditions, weight gain, cognitive impairments, and more.

Eat foods that contain melatonin

Don’t go to bed hungry or full, and perhaps eat foods that promote the development of melatonin, the hormone that regulates your wakefulness. Foods containing tryptophan, such as chicken, eggs and cod, are good for sleep since they promote the development of this hormone.

Make sure your room is sleep proofed

One of the best ways to ensure you sleep like a baby is having a room that’s dark, quiet, and comfortable, allowing you to make the most out of the hours you spend in bed. If redesigning your room is too much work, you can always use comfortable earplugs and a sleep mask. Avoid doing any type of work in your bed to it is a relaxing, fun place.

May any and all of these work of you, sweet dreams.

Is It Safe To Smoke Weed Daily

If you wondering if you are doing anything to much, it might be time to pause and think

While there is a phrase too much of a good thing, most people don’t overdo. But if you are wondering if you are overusing anything, candy, alcohol or marijuana, it is smart to pause and asses how often, how much, and why.  Using marijuana heavily (daily or near-daily) can damage your memory, attention, and learning ability. It can last a week or more after the last time marijuana was used. Some mircodose low amounts to manage stress and anxiety, the trick is the potency.

The Fresh Toast – Is it safe to smoke weed daily? It depends – why do you ask, how are you feeling?  Here is an answer to your question.

There is not significant research for the complete answer. Someone who has been waking and baking for years is tdifferent that a cancer patient medicating with cannabis to relieve pain or nausea.  Ask he question and be honest with yourself. And, if possible, have the conversation with your general practitioner or a trusted doctor.

How Addictive Is Marijuana?

According to one government-supported study, nearly 9 percent of people who use marijuana will become abusers. This compares to about 10% of people who drink alcohol, cocaine, 17% Opioids 26%, and for nicotine 32%. Cannabis is less addictive than neatly every legal or illegal drug.

Research has demonstrated that daily marijuana use can lead to increased tolerance and withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop.

RELATED: How To Lower Your Tolerance To Marijuana In One Easy Step

If you have the slightest concern that you have developed a physical or mental dependence on marijuana, be proactive. Ween yourself off daily use. Take a tolerance break and recalibrate your system. If this becomes too difficult, it is possible you might want to explore more why.

Does Daily Use Cause Physical Changes To The Brain

Research is mixed on this question, except for those with still developing brain. Science is clear cannabis, alcohol and other drugs have a definite impact on brain development. In adults, it is a mixed bag and also depends on dosing. A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found “daily marijuana use is not associated with brain morphometric measures in adolescents or adults.”

According to this study, earlier research did not control for alcohol use. When that variable was included, the study suggests “it is possible alcohol use, or other factors, may explain some of the contradictory findings to date.”

The study concluded that “while the literature clearly supports a deleterious short-term effect of marijuana on learning and memory, it seems unlikely that marijuana use has the same level of long-term deleterious effects on brain morphology as other drugs like alcohol.”

Does this mean daily consumption of cannabis is OK? No. The research does not say that. The data is not definitive on what longtime daily use does to cognitive development.

Dr. Stuart Gitlow, a professor at the University of Florida, is an addiction specialist and an ardent opponent of the medical use of marijuana, promotes a loss of attention, focus and concentration.

While the medical community continues to study the issue, one thing is clear: Young, developing minds should refrain from cannabis use. And daily consumption for an adolescent or teen is not advised.

Should I Steer Clear Of Waking And Baking

Similar to morning use of alcohol among alcohol-dependent individuals, morning use of marijuana may indicate dependence and increased cannabis-related impairment, according to a study in the journal Addiction and Research Theory.

The report, co-authored by cannabis researcher Mitch Earleywine, suggests that “morning users reported significantly more problems than non-morning users, and morning use accounted for significant unique variance in problems.”

RELATED: Does Marijuana Make You Stupid? Here’s What Experts Say

The positive news, according to the study, shows that “morning use also has the potential to lend itself to straightforward intervention. … Exploratory mediational analyses did not support the idea that morning use led to problems via withdrawal.”

So if this is one of your habits, now may be the time to wean yourself fr0m it. There are potential negative outcomes, but not in everybody.

Can it cause long term health issues

Marijuana smoking, like tobacco smoking, may be associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Marijuana smoke contains cannabinoid compounds in addition to many of the same components as tobacco smoke.

In addition, cannabis does increase symptoms of bronchitis like coughing and wheezing.

Strange Stats About What Goes On Behind Closed Doors

There is a country song about when you get behind closed doors, you never know.  That is the case whether in India or Indiana, Toronto or Tokyo, London to Laos. Sex is meant to be enjoyed and it should be something where you relax and enjoy.  And each generation has a different approach.  What was popular and the norm in the 50s was not so in the 70s and what goes in the 80s is definitely different from today.  But there are some basics and here are some strange stats about what goes on behind closed doors.

Millennials are the demographic that’s had the least amount of sex

RELATED: Here’s How Often People Are Having Sex

While Baby Boomers sleep with an average of 12 people in their lifetimes, Gen Xers sleep with around 10 people. Millennials are clocking in the lowest numbers, having just eight sexual partners over their lifetimes. This trend is reflected in other studies, where millennials are reporting much less sex than previous generations.

When you’ll have the most sex

https://giphy.com/gifs/30s-wQyhNfA46sWn6

Those between the ages of 18 and 29 have the most sex, at 112 times a year (or about twice a week). Those between 30 and 39 report an average of 86 times a year and between 40 and 49, 69 times a year. This data set doesn’t report any higher—but we know that people over the age of 50 certainly have active sex lives.

Americans kiss around 21 people

Best Ways To Cope With A Workaholic Partner

You never know how a relationships evolve, but it always has hidden surprises…both good and challenging. Despite the current work at home atmosphere, hard work is praised in most of the corporate world. Research indicates workaholism hits between 27% and 30% of the working population. In popular culture, “workaholism” is a buzzword often used to describe devotion to work in a positive light — by defining themselves as workaholics, people often think they are showcasing their passion for their jobs.  But it can put big stress on a relationship.  Here are the best ways to cope with a workaholic partner.

Couples therapist Karen Hirscheimer shares there’s a clear difference between a workaholic and a hard worker, and it’s important for their romantic partners to know the difference. While the hard workers might find themselves spending some late nights at work, the workaholics can’t step away from it, even when they’re on their free time. Hirscheimer also says that it’s important to be aware of the nature of your partner’s job; if they hold an important position that comes with a heavy workload, it’s on you to be understanding.

Don’t compete with other couples

It serves no purpose to compare your relationship with other couples who get to spend more time together. Everyone’s relationship and situation is different, and it’s important to keep that in mind before you add that extra pressure on your relationship. Think about the positive aspects of your partner and the benefits of the time that you get to spend together.

Use Calendars

https://giphy.com/gifs/filmeditor-horror-rosemarys-baby-roman-polanski-l2YWxPbinlJYX5zMc

Schedule important appointments and events that matter to you, like dinner with friends or parents. It’s also important for your partner to use the calendar so they can add in important meetings and days where they’ll be unavailable. This precaution will help you both avoid misunderstandings and will make you happier in the long term.

Make the time you spend together count

Make the most out of the time you have together by making fun dinner plans or by simply using the free time to watch a TV show or have sex. It’s also important for you to enjoy your alone time and to find stuff that makes you happy, that way both of you will feel fulfilled with your lives and individual paths.

Try to appreciate your partner’s passion for their work

https://giphy.com/gifs/lalaland-l3vQYfr7AHKzcEu9W

People who feel fulfilled with their jobs tend to be happy with their existence, so try to appreciate that since it’s not easy to find. “When my client loves what they do, that joy and fulfillment ripples through their relationships and results in positive outcomes,” says Naz Beheshti a wellness coach and consultant.

Approach relationship problems as if they were work problems

https://giphy.com/gifs/discussion-fandom-opinion-5XNEIKcohVG8w

Take advantage of their workaholic traits and try to apply them to your relationship, prioritizing communication and problem solving behaviors. Schedule in weekly conversations where you discuss your problems, the things you have in mind and the objectives you’d like to accomplish.

Do Dogs Know When You Are Upset

Dogs are known for being man’s best friend, usually, they are always there for you (unless distracted by a really squeaky toy or a chew bone).  But do dogs know when you are upset?

Many dog can sense of how you are feeling and if you need a little extra attention. This is released in changes with emotions: sad, depressed, or happy as well as with stress and nervousness. This is how your dog can often truly tell if you are upset or sick.

A study confirms data are the best and they have a special bond with their owners, especially when these are feeling sad or distressed.

The study, published in the journal Learning and Behavior, analyzed 34 dogs and their owners, bringing them into a lab for some trials. Scientists separated owners from dogs and put them within eyesight of each other. Owners were told to yell “Help!” every 15 seconds, with either an unaffected or a distressed tone.

The recordings of the tests showed a pattern. Although most dogs were eager to return to their owner whenever they spoke, they tended to run towards them 40 seconds faster when the demand was distressed.

RELATED: This Is Why We Value Dogs More Than Cats

The sample size of the study is small, so conclusive evidence can’t be drawn, but this attentive behavior from dogs is quite common. Data demonstrates that most dogs are very attuned to their owner’s feelings, much more in tune to them than they are to the feelings of fellow dogs, giving them the chance to know when humans are depressed or sick. According to  The Atlantic, dogs have a highly developed sense of smell and hearing, helping them notice changes in your moods and health that you might not even be aware of.

Your tone of voice or tears will attract your dog’s attention and make them more attentive of you. Maybe it’s because they love you unconditionally or because they find your behavior curious and want to understand it. It’s cute either way.

Is Coffee Actually Healthy

Around 30-40% of the world’s population consume coffee daily. In the USA, these figures are much higher and equate to about 65% In Canada, coffee is more popular than tap water in with 71% of Canadians drinking coffee regularly compared to 63%. Black, with cream, latte, iced – in all forms it is popular around the world. But is coffee actually healthy?

Everyone knows how they like their coffee, when they like it, sometimes in a special mug.  Too much coffee can give you the jitters….something which makes us think it is not healthy.  Mormons call out coffee and alcohol as bad and it wrong for them to consume it. But studies keep claiming that coffee, in moderation, might help you live longer and have better health.

Early research of coffee suggested it could lead to health problems, recent research provides strong evidence drinking coffee actually has a variety of health benefits.

“The overall evidence has been pretty convincing coffee has been more healthful than harmful in terms of health outcomes,” said Frank Hu, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in an April 5, 2021, article in Discover. “For most people, moderate coffee consumption can be incorporated into a healthy diet.”

Hu said moderate coffee intake—about 2–5 cups a day—is linked to a lower likelihood of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, liver and endometrial cancers, Parkinson’s disease, and depression. It’s even possible people who drink coffee can reduce their risk of early death.

A study surveyed residents of the UK analyzed how coffee habits affect people’s overall health. These people were grouped and asked about their habits, including how many cups of coffee they consumed on a daily basis, and other factors such as smoking and more. Popular Science reports: “Across 502,641 participants ranging from 38 to 73 years old, both male and female, show the more coffee a person drank the less likely they were to die.”

Since the study is completely observational, researchers can’t imply causation, and can only speculate with the numbers and results they were given. The study grouped participants according to six ways of consuming coffee: those who drank less than one cup a day, those who drank one cup a day, two or three a day, four to five, and so on. The last category was for those who consumed more than eight cups of coffee a day. The study found  the more people drank coffee, lived longer.

While the results are positive for coffee lovers, Popular Science points out there may be other influencing factors. For example, users have diseases like cancer might not drink coffee and are at higher risks of dying.

While studies like this one have been conducted in the past, this is the first one to account for genetic variations in caffeine metabolism, meaning the research accounted for people’s different reactions to caffeine. An example of this is someone who drinks coffee at night and still sleeps soundly. The research logically found those who have a higher tolerance for coffee were found to consume more coffee on average.

It seems  a healthy amount of coffee, even decaffeinated, gives us a discernible health boost despite  found the reason. Scientists argue it could be the compounds in the drink (lignans, quinides, and magnesium) that give us a health benefit or the drink’s antioxidant properties. Someday we’ll know. Hopefully.

Can A Lawsuit Save Small Cannabis Businesses

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, but the Federal Government is ok breaking a few bones.

Marijuana has become increasing mainstream.  With 90% of the public open to it being legal in some form. Companies from Pfizer to Miracle Grow have jumped in and other “vice” companies from BAT, Molson Coors, and Heineken to the $22+ billion market.  It seems great, but the industry is struggling. Can a lawsuit save small cannabis businesses?

The Biden administration has been incredibly slow following up on his campaign promise to bring on federal legalization, the Trump term did nothing, rescheduling is just starting and California and New York have ongoing major issues. The House passed SAFE Banking 7 times and now the Senate is on board with SAFER Banking and the new House Speaker is not a fan of helping the industry.  Small businesses continue to struggle.

Some cannabis companies have turned to superlawyer David Boies who is suing Attorney General Merrick Garland to strike down marijuana restrictions now in place under the federal Controlled Substances act.  This could provide the relief mom and pop businesses need.

What the public doesn’t understand and Congress refuses to address is owning a small business is a major, hard endeavor, and currently, federal policy makes it even harder.  Small businesses receive very little tax write-offs, can’t use Small Business Adminstration loans, major banks won’t touch them and ding the owners and employees for personal loans if revealed they work for a weed company.

Ted Olson, a conservative attorney who knows Boies and has opposed him shared “His timing is good. this is the sort of thing this court is looking at”.

“An overwhelming percentage of the American people believe marijuana sales should be legal and also safe and regulated”, said Boies

There are mixed winds about cannabis right now, the public wants it and Ohio just switched to full recreational.  But Congress is in disarray and the Speaker doesn’t drink, smoke or swear and discourages is staff from doing any of it. Maybe the lawsuit can force the current administration to update the laws and help small businesses.

Ohio Voters Go For Legal Marijuana

The Buckeye state voters made a smart, fiscal decision

Joining 23 other states who are reaping in more tax revenue, less illegal drug market and more help for the medically fragile, Ohio voters go for legal marijuana.   For the first time, 52% of Americans live in a legal cannabis state.  And Pew Research says 90% of citizens believe cannabis should be legal in some form.

According to BDSA, a leading cannabis data analyst firm “despite having only a few years of legal sales under its belt, the Ohio cannabis market has exhibited strong early growth that indicates continued expansion for the future. BDSA projects that Ohio will launch adult-use cannabis in 2025, contributing an estimated $300 million in that year alone.”

Like alcohol, marijuana is popular for with a majority, but unlike alcohol, it has clear medical benefits including a clear alternative pain relief solution from opioids. It has also shown clear promise with PTSD. With 7.5% of Ohio being veterans or their family, this is positive health news.

“Marijuana is no longer a controversial issue,” said Tom Haren, spokesman for the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol. “Ohioans demonstrated this by passing State Issue 2 in a landslide. Ohioans are being extremely clear on the future they want for our state: adult-use marijuana legal and regulated.”

Ohio Voters Go For Legal Marijuana

As a citizen-initiated statute, the law is subject to change. The GOP Legislature, who opposed the popular move, are able to make changes to the law, or repeal it. It will be interesting to see if elected officials listen to the voting public or prefer to move Ohio to a nanny state like Florida.

Ohio Republican leaders who failed to convince Ohioans that legal marijuana will endanger children, increase traffic accidents and create headaches for employers trying to hire. Senate President Matt Huffman, R-Lima, and House Speaker Jason Stephens, R-Kitts Hill, have indicated the Legislature will look at the new law and make changes.

The Ultimate Guide To Marijuana Tasting

Wine tasting has become a huge sub industry with wineries offering tastings from Virginia to Washington state.  But do you know you can do marijuana tasting?

Visits to wineries are slightly down from 2019, but are still going strong. It seems from Total Wine and Bev Mov to local wineries and groceries stores are doing tastings. Thanks to Two Buck Chuck, palates have expanded and who doesn’t want a free taste of wine? So here is the ultimate guide to marijuana tasting.

There was great hope California would have consumption lounges allowing people to really dig into flavor and experience.  But Governor Newsom but a big stop on the concept.

RELATED: California or New York, Which Has The Biggest Marijuana Mess?

With marijuana is being treated more like alcohol these days, it stands to reason the scene could soon see an uprising in cannabis tastings. Similar to the swish and spit rituals taking place at wineries and other liquor-slinging establishments, the reach of marijuana will one day be given center stage for customers to hit samples before making a purchase. Cannabis discussions around tastings are become more commonplace not on in dispensaries, but in living rooms.

Appearance

The first thing a true cannabis aficionado looks at is the overall appearance of the bud. These folks get excited when they see the herb is covered in crystals. That excitement spirals into an excitement when they realize the color of the crystals is more yellow than white. Typically, the more yellow, the more THC. But no matter how yellow the crystals, always ask the weed steward when they what is their roll plan so you can be prepared.

Aroma

Now that you’ve identified a good-looking bud, the next step is to examine its aroma. Don’t worry. You do not have to be well versed in the art of cannabis selection to represent like a marijuana master. Similar to how it is done in beer and wine tastings, just wave the herb under the nose and take shallow sniffs. The goal is to try and get a feel for its components. You might catch a whiff of citrus, pine or even the business end of a skunk. But, as a rule, if the aroma is pleasing, chances are you will be happy with the next step.

RELATED: How Much Does Weed Cost?

Flavor

There are a variety of methods in which to capture a rush of optimal flavor. Some say a French inhale is the best method for tasting bud. But the most important aspect of this process to remember is the first hit is when the magic happens. Unless a person has been assigned to pen an elaborate tasting profile on a particular strain, the best advice here is to just take in the smoke, hold it in, and search for the flavors that turned you while testing the aroma. Chances are you will stumble onto something new to tickle the senses. Just make sure the device you are using to sample the bud is clean.

Effect

This is the fun part — the test drive. Just kick back and see how the herb hits. Does it make you chatty, sleepy, or does it turn you into a cartoon character? It is important to understand how a strain works on you personally. But remember, there are more strains to sample. A good weed testing will consist of around 5-6 strains. You’ll need to try all of them. But be sure to cleanse your palate after every sample. Fruit juice or plain crackers are good for this.

Best Ways To Have Marijuana In Your Coffee

In a commonly repeated legend, Kaldi, a 9th-century Ethiopian goatherd, first observed the coffee plant after seeing his flock energized by chewing on the plant. Most agree coffee drinking the middle of the 15th century in the accounts of Ahmed al-Ghaffar in Yemen. It first appeared in Italy around 1600 (thank you again Italy for something wonderful) and then spread to Europe and the rest is history.

Coffee is an integral part of daytime activity for billions, 30-40% of the world’s population consume coffee every day. First prepared in samovars across Semitic countries before dominating Southern Europe via Italy and France, it’s part of the story of global exchange. Now we know that cannabis was too. Combining it with caffeine is done to increase euphoric feelings and hopefully work output as well.

People have their coffee in a myriad of ways, but spiked with cannabis is one of the all-time greatest hits of psychoactive experimentation. Some people use the combination of cannabis and coffee to kick off mornings pain free, others use for a laser sharp focus. No matter your reason for this pairing, it’s a satisfying way to get your dose of both substances.

1.Non-Dairy Creamer

If you are a routine follower, you probably already know exactly how much creamer you need on a weekly basis. Simply adding a glycerin tincture to that coconut or almond milk creamer will enhance the flavor and be safe on the fridge shelf for the duration. Measure if you’re a perfectionist, eyeball if you’re more chill.

2. Bulletproof Canna-style Coffee

This much-touted ‘brainhack’ includes a dose of either butter or coconut oil in your morning cup. Those are two things you’re likely to have around if you cook with cannabis even occasionally.

3. Cannabis Whipped Cream

Have you actually had coffee with honey? It’s amazing. Mix .25g of decarboxylated hash with 1 cup of gently warmed honey for 4mg THC per teaspoon of honey that you can add to anything.

6. Chocolate Melt

Got weed chocolates? Put one in the bottom of a mug before you pour over your hot coffee. You don’t need to add cream or sugar to have a tasty treat, simply stir and enjoy.

7. Boozy Coffee

Alcohol based weed tinctures are usually very strong tasting and therefore aren’t always pleasant to consume. Add yours to a 1oz pour of rum and make some pirate coffee. It’s actually a halfway decent hangover cure!

Now you can always use the entourage effect with the extra points you get from coffee’s beloved stimulant, caffeine. There’s not much better than coffee and spliff, even if it’s a 2-in-
