Cannabis and Pets

Using CBD for our pets isn’t new, so we reviewed some papers on the topic!

Rising cannabis popularity has led to an increase in products that include cannabis and the things derived from the plant. Usually, CBD takes the center stage in the mainstream, as it’s not the target of prohibitive bans and is considered a hemp product. Lately, CBN and CBG has entered the market with claims to help sleep or be a super cannabinoid. Along with this increase is a rise in times pets…

Cannabinol; The Older Cannabinoid

Today a minor cannabinoid takes the stage thanks to its major role in studies. From history to biology and medicine, CBN plays a large role sure, but is it as large as stores and products claim?

Leading the charge from cannabis, THC often gets the spotlight, but it was not the first to be found. While it is true that we understand the most about it and have looked more into THC than some of the other cannabinoids, another compound was first found, isolated, and named.

Cannabinol, or CBN as many product labels will call it is an important cannabinoid for cannabis research. The stability…

Washington’s Cannabis: The State not The Person nor The District.

When looking at the medical marijuana markets throughout the world, Washington’s community cannot be overlooked. I am talking about the state of course.

Tall volcanic mountains topped with permanent glaciers glistening in the sun, deep harbors for trading vessels and ferries, the Rocky Mountains further east standing proudly next to but separate from the range to the west, and a city known for constant rain and coffee. In the Northwestern part of the contiguous United States, the state of Washington serves as the corner of the lower 48, sitting…

Working Out With Weed

Cannabis use was once seen as a lazy endeavor. Munchies, couchlock, an unusual obsession with Pocahontas parody that introduced a generation to Ben n Jerry’s sandwiched between toaster waffles are often stereotypes lodged as stoners everywhere, yet the reality is quite different. While some people find cannabis to be their lazy day vice some indeed use it as part of a more active lifestyle, and…

Working Out With Weed

I can think of three athletes who have used cannabis and still competed in the Olympics. Why? Well for cannabis effects discussed here, the potential is staggering for mixing the two worlds.

Bringing some Chamomile to Cannabis

Of the many terpenes found within the #cannabis plant, bisabolol is often underrepresented within the community. For all that it can do, that’s a shame and it should be corrected. Corrected we say!!

Sipping on chamomile tea while the rain gently falls outside is one of the picturesque ways people love to unwind. Perhaps it’s the book in their hand, whose cinematic words paint a scene for the reader. Maybe it’s the pitter patter of the rain caressing the ears and comforting the soul, or maybe it’s something smaller. Something almost unnoticed despite being the star of the show taking place…

Too Much or Too Little Nutrients?

This week is for the cultivators! Those growing #cannabis need to know what the plant is telling them, but without words. So how does it communicate a nutrient issue?

Nutrition is one of those things many people do give enough thought to. Human bodies will ache and feel lethargic when not properly maintained but what about plants?

Plants also need the proper fuel to perform their functions, and cannabis is no different. Cultivators work hard to make sure the soil is just right, the water given to plants is clean, and the proper nutrient mixes are used…

Cannabis with Parkinson’s

Some have claimed that #cannabis can be an effective treatment for Parkinson’s Disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, but is that true? I summarized what we know here but it’s not much. Journaling sessions and reactions will track the help and risk

Patients look to any relief they can find and those with neurodegenerative disease are no exemption. Parkinson’s Disease, named after English doctor James Parkinson in 1817, is usually recognized by tremors and stiffness within a patient’s body. Often the physical symptoms are accompanied with signs of depression, further driving patients to find an effective treatment. While cannabis has been…

Cannabigerol: The Mother

Another Cannabinoid finally gets the spotlight. Call her CBG, or better yet…. Call her Mother.

Fresh new products are exciting for an industry, and new findings can make any marketers day bright. CBG, standing for Cannabigerol, has entered into several stores, and often nearby is a sign bragging how it’s the “Mother of All Cannabinoids.” While most of the product is made from hemp plants, it has branched out from dispensaries and into convenient stores. Yet there is much more to this…

The United States is a… place. Marijuana and cannabis have been here since the beginning, so why did we hate the plant as a nation?

Personally, I have been diagnosed with a LOT from the DSM…. Marijuana helped me a lot, and some doctors were supportive and listened to my experiences. One in particular stopped the appointment as soon as he heard I had smoked. The weed was the cause and ignored my mother and his nurse when they pointed out the timeline of symptoms pre-dated the weed usage by 11 years…. ANYWAYS, I educated myself more, and wanted to share it with others who use weed for their life’s stress.

Cancer sucks, no one can deny that, and the association between pot and cancer has gained a lot of attention. Check out some more science behind the hype with this article I wrote….

Canadian Cannabis

Hocky is my favorite sport, by a long shot, and I love snowy weather as long as I’m not outside too long. Maybe that’s why I enjoyed this one, or perhaps it was the canaries….

It was probably the canaries.

Between Washington State and Alaska is another country. Despite the two states being a part of the United States of America, another country occupies a good portion of the space in between. Canada, the second largest country in the world, just North of the mainland United States. Part a Commonwealth Realms, which means they share a head of state with 14 other independent nations, including the…
