Cannabis and Performance Enhancement!

Why is this topic important? Well, performance enhancement, and cannabis if you remember, is a history that we have here in the US, and very recently as well if you remember the situation witch Sha’Carri Richardson, who tested positive for THC, and Kamila Valieva, who tested positive for heart enhancing drug

Cannabis and Back to the Basics: The Science and Synergy of THC & CBD

SHARE!! Of all episodes, I would say THIS is the one that you consider sharing the most to the cannabis-curious-but-shy friend.

As always, we must ask…WHY is this topic important? Why do we spend our time on this today or any day?!?!

Cannabis and Topical Creams: A Refresh!

Episode 225

Thursday, September 28, 2023 • Duration 21:45

Cannabis and Topical Creams

Welcome back! Rate, subscribe, tell us what you like or don’t like!

Why is this topic important?

-I think for several reasons!

-A) We’ve talked about creams but have never dedicated a show to it

-B) There are sooooo many applications for it

-C) No psychoactive properties, so this is great for grandma!

-D) Harmless introduction for a newbie to cannabis!

-E) All Natural and very effective alternative

-F) -Pain is a big driver that brings people to opioid addiction or harsher drugs to treat that pain.

So let’s get into it!

What are topicals?

-Topicals are cannabis-infused balms, lotions, sprays, and oils that are absorbed through the skin for localized pain relief…different that vaping or taking a tincture/tablet, which will target all areas of the body.

-We’re seeing that Cannabis creams can help with pain, discomfort, and inflammation.

-Sometimes when we get this relief, we get it from Opioids, which can cause unwanted side effects such as nausea, constipation, addiction, and then we’re talking about cannabis use for a whole other ailment to treat!

-You can often find strain specific topicals as well with both the terpenes and cannabinoids, sometimes other herbals are thrown in there as well.

How do they work?

-You have receptors all over your skin, so they will bind to the CB1/2 receptors to provide localized relief…they don’t enter the blood stream, so their effects will remain where you put them, and thus also won’t travel up to your brain to give you that nice little buzz!

Cannabis and Tolerance- 2023!

Episode 224

Thursday, September 21, 2023 • Duration 35:13

Cannabis and Tolerance- 2023!

Welcome back! Rate, review, tell us what you like and don’t like, THANK you for coming back and listening!

Today we talk about TOLERANCE!! We’ve talked about this a few times already…but why do we continue to talk about it?

Why is this topic important?

I ALWAYS NEED A REFRESH ON THIS!

Cannabis always feels better when you’re doing less…I.e.- more effective!!

People may give up on cannabis, when all they need to do is stop or slow down for a bit!

As we’ll discuss, you don’t need to completely slow down!

Cannabis tolerance is important because it can affect how much cannabis you need to consume to achieve the desired effects.

If you have a high tolerance, you may need to consume more cannabis to get the same effects as someone with a lower tolerance.

This can be costly and can also increase the risk of side effects.

To save money. If you have a high tolerance, you will need to spend more money on cannabis to achieve the desired effects.

To improve the overall experience of using cannabis. When you have a low tolerance, you are more likely to experience the positive effects of cannabis, such as relaxation, creativity, and euphoria.

Reduce side effects with less cannabis!

Spread the word on tolerance!
