THC vs CBD: Navigating the Effects
Navigating the world of cannabis starts with understanding the difference between THC and CBD. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the component known for its psychoactive effects – the classic high. CBD, or cannabidiol, interacts differently with the body, offering a
non-euphoric route geared towards calming and reducing inflammation. So whether you’re dealing with anxiety or looking for relief from physical discomfort, the balance between these two cannabinoids is crucial.
Edibles: Dosage and Consumption Tips
The conversation wouldn’t be complete without discussing edibles. These products include anything from gummies to chocolate bars infused with cannabis. Edibles offer a discreet and convenient consumption
method with varying ratios of THC and CBD. For those new to edibles, the mantra of “low and slow” cannot be overstated. Tracking your dosages and responses in a journal can be an incredibly effective way to find your sweet spot.
Topicals: Localized Relief Without the High
Cannabis topicals, such as salves, lotions, and transdermal patches, are perfect for targeted relief from aches and pains. By applying these directly to the affected area, users can benefit from the therapeutic
properties without any psychoactive effects. What’s more, topicals typically do not show up on drug tests, making them an excellent choice for those concerned about that aspect.
Vape Pens and Pre-rolls: To Each Their Own
In our modern world, convenience is king. This reigns true in cannabis consumption as well, with many opting for pre-rolls due to their ease of use – especially for individuals with dexterity issues. Then there are vape pens, which offer a
discreet option for enjoying cannabis oils. Let’s not forget the burgeoning variety of flavors and potencies available, ensuring that there’s a product out there to meet the desires of any connoisseur.
Keeping Your Cannabis Fresh
Our hosts emphasize the importance of proper storage, stressing a cool, dark space for your flower and pre-rolls. Surprisingly, refrigeration is not ideal for your flower as it can increase humidity levels, potentially leading to mold.
However, certain topicals and edibles like cold brew and ice cream do benefit from refrigeration, enhancing their soothing effects and, of course, keeping them from spoiling.
Seasonal Selections and New Discoveries
Staying on top of the latest offerings is essential for any cannabis enthusiast. Our podcast dive reveals interesting seasonal products like the “Wicked Witch” pre-roll and a diverse array of CBD and non-THC products like lip balms and sunscreens.
