Whats your favorite method of consuming cannabis? Did you know that if you use a vaporizer you can use your AVB (Already Vaped Bud) to make cannabis infused edibles?

Various methods and recipes exist, often times individuals will mix their AVB with a carrier oil (Coconut oil, Olive Oil, etc) in a slow cooker and set it on low for several hours.

Below we have attached a few links of some different ways to use your AVB.

Recently, cannabis-infused edibles have become legal for sale in Canada! These edibles include infused snacks, desserts, drinks, teas, and more.

Dosing with edibles can be tricky, which is why it is important to START LOW and GO SLOW. The effects of edibles can take between 2-3 hours to kick in, and the effects can last anywhere from 4-12 hours. The most common mistake people make is taking another dose after taking the initial dose due to impatience. For some, this can cause some unpleasant side effects.

If you are looking for more information in regards to medical cannabis then please check the clink in our bio or give us a phone call!

Did you know certain activities can help stimulate your endocannabinoid system? Social interaction is actually very important to maintain a healthy amount of cannabinoid receptors. A study on rats was done, showing that rats held in isolation produced less cannabinoid receptors then the rats that engaged in social play!

Get engaged in social interaction by:
-Calling a friend
-Hugging a loved one
-Joining a support or activity group

Did you know that chocolate can help support your endocannabinoid system? Yum! Cacao powder contains three compounds that are very similar to endocannabinoids. These compounds have minor cannabinoid-like activity of their own and they help prevent the breakdown of your body's own endocannabinoid system, which, allows for higher endocannabinoid levels. Dark chocolate and cacao powder tend to have the highest concentrations of these compounds and it can also be helpful for preventing heart disease!

Happy October! This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast Cancer starts when the cells in the breast behave abnormally and form a cancerous (malignant) tumour in a group of cancer cells. These cells can grow and destroy nearby tissue and can also metastasize in other parts of the body. It is estimated in 2019, that 26,900 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Regular self breast exams along with other screening methods are important methods for early detection of breast cancer. To read more check out the Canadian Cancer Society.

Did you know that cannabis was once used in place of modern medicines to treat various diseases and illnesses? In 1924 the Sajous's Analytic Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine concluded cannabis could be used in the treatment of migraines, coughing, inflammation, as well as diseases such as tetanus, rabies, and gonorrhea. After having a steady rise in popularity, modern medicines and vaccines became available for diseases such as tetanus and other diseases which caused a dramatic decline in medical cannabis. The development of the hypodermic needle and its easy ability to administer op**tes could be one of the main factors in the decline of medical cannabis.

Today medical cannabis is making a come back! If you are curious about medical cannabis or if you are ready to start your journey then be sure to check out our website or give us a call to find out more information!

Today: Sesquiterpenes!
One of the most abundant type of terpenes found in the cannabis plant! Sesquiterpenes are responsible for attracting pollinating insects while repelling harmful ones, as well as possibly repelling herbivores.

The biggest difference from closely related monoterpene, it's less volatile.
This type of terpene has the ability to pass the brain blood barrier, showing promising possible applications in the future.

Some examples of sesquiterpenes include Humulene and Beta-caryophyllene.

Your turn! Grab your bud and try to identify which scent is more pronounced! No pungent smell? Maybe you have low quality cannabis in front of you! Share the photo of your product and let us know what you can smell!

Talk to your Cannabis Coach about how to identify a high quality product. 🍁

Its Cannabinoid Monday!⁠
CBDV⁠ also known as Cannabidivarin⁠
⁠
CBDVA, like THCVA, is formed when an enzyme reacts with CBGVA. When CBDVA decarboxylates, CBDV is created. Cannabis plants with relatively high levels of CBDV have been found in feral populations of indicas from northwest India, Pakistan and Mexico. Although there is limited research on this minor cannabinoid, some studies have shown it's anti-convulsive and nausea relieving properties.⁠
⁠
some possible issues it can help to relieve: ⁠
Seizures⁠
Crohn’s⁠
HIV/AIDS⁠
Multiple Sclerosis⁠

Did you know that cannabis use in the Mediterranean has been dated back to 450 BCE? Herodotus wrote Herodotus’s Histories which talked about the Scythian funeral ceremony in which cannabis seeds would be put on hot stones which would create a vapour and was used for its euphoric effect.
