💨 Big claim, but worth a look…

Va**ng cannabis could produce up to 99% fewer harmful chemicals than smoking it 😳

Less benzene. Less formaldehyde. Less of the stuff you don’t want in your lungs.

Yes, the study came from a vaporiser brand… so take it with a pinch of salt 🧂
BUT it lines up with what we already know about lower temps = fewer nasties.

🔥 Burn it = more toxins
🌬️ V**e it = cleaner experience

Not magic. Just science doing its thing.

Va**ng cannabis produces up to 99% fewer harmful chemicals than smoking it, according to a new study by vaporiser manufacturer PAX.

The research, which compared toxic compounds in smoke from cannabis joints with vapour from PAX's own dry herb vaporiser devices, found dramatic reductions across 16 harmful substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.

Although the study's self-publication by a company with a commercial interest in promoting va**ng over smoking may suggest bias, the findings align with previous research showing that exposing cannabis to lower temperatures, such as the temperatures used to heat cannabis in hand-held and desktop vaporiser devices, results in fewer toxic chemicals.

Fantastic!!

“THE Health Minister has said he will do all he can to support a campaigner’s call for regulated trials of recreational cannabis in Jersey – if it aligns with States decisions.

Deputy Tom Binet has said he would back Charlotte Caldwell’s proposed plan for the governments of the British Isles to run controlled recreational pilots providing it married with the will of the States Assembly.”

This is an interesting piece looking at a recent Israeli study on CBD rich extracts and their effect on ADHD related behaviours in children with autism. The early findings suggest improvements in impulsivity, emotional regulation and attention, although it was an open label study so more research is still needed.

Worth a read if you’re following developments in this area of research. 🌿📚

Don’t forget this awesome recipe.

🤧🍋🫚🌶✨🍯💧
Not sure what to do when you feel a lurgy starting to lurk?
This is my go to the moment I feel something coming on.

Spicy, soothing and full of goodness. It gives your immune system a proper kick up the backside before that cold can even say “where’s me tissues?”

Merry Jayne’s Go Go Juice
For when you’re feeling rough, run down or full of cold

What’s in it and why it works

🫚 Ginger – about 2 thumb sized chunks, grated
Warming and anti-inflammatory. Brilliant for sore throats and sinuses.

🌶 Cayenne pepper – to taste
This bit is important. The heat helps clear nasal passages and gets everything moving. Only add as much as you can handle. Everyone’s different.

✨ Turmeric – 1 teaspoon
Packed with antioxidants and helps calm inflammation. It’s a golden little all-rounder.

🍋 Lemons – juice of 4 to 5
Full of vitamin C and adds a fresh tang that cuts through the spice.

🍯 Honey – 1 to 2 tablespoons
Soothing on the throat and full of goodness. Go for raw if you’ve got it.

💧 Water – 1 litre in total
Start with 750ml to boil, then top up. Hydration helps the whole thing work better.

How to make it

1️⃣ Grate the ginger and chuck it in a saucepan
2️⃣ Add 750ml water and your cayenne pepper
3️⃣ Bring to the boil then stir in turmeric
4️⃣ Simmer for a few minutes
5️⃣ Take off the heat and add cold water to bring it up to 1 litre
6️⃣ Let it cool a bit
7️⃣ Squeeze in your lemon juice
8️⃣ Stir in the honey once it’s warm but not hot
9️⃣ Sip it warm and let it work its magic

Are herbal vaporisers really the same as ni****ne vapes? 🤔

Short answer. No. Not even close! 😤

They get lumped together all the time and it causes real confusion. Even in medical settings. And honestly, it’s frustrating.

Herbal vaporisers heat a natural plant 🌿
Ni****ne vapes aerosolise chemical liquids 🧪
Same word. Completely different process.

Our latest blog breaks down why this mix up matters and why language is important 📖

If you have ever been told they are the same thing, this one is worth a read 👀

Read it. Share it. Let’s clear this up ✅

Big changes could be coming to Jersey’s laws around personal use for the first time in nearly 50 years. Health Minister Deputy Tom Binet is asking States Members to consider
• Stop prosecuting people for small amounts for personal use and treat it as a public health issue
• Make possession of up to 15g or 2 plants no longer a criminal offence
• Trial a government-run supply scheme for registered residents while keeping private sales illegal

February’s debate could reshape how Jersey handles personal use moving from criminalisation to harm reduction and regulation.

What do you think is it time for Jersey to change the way it treats personal use?

Jersey is on the brink of its most significant shake-up of drugs policy in nearly half a century, after the Health Minister lodged a proposal that could end prosecutions for personal cannabis use and even pave the way for a government-run cannabis supply trial. Deputy Tom Binet’s proposition asks ...

What are your views? Have you managed to cut down on alcohol too?

Researchers in Canada ran a housing program for people with severe alcohol addiction.

Every day, residents could choose between their usual alcohol dose or a cannabis joint. Nobody forced anything. They were simply given the choice.

The result was that people who took the cannabis option drank way less.

Before w**d was available, residents averaged 8 drinks daily from the program. After, it went down to 6.5. For every joint someone chose, they skipped about 2.5 drinks.

This matters because alcohol destroys your liver, heart, and brain. Cannabis has risks too, but they're nowhere near as severe.

When people with serious drinking problems cut their intake by choosing w**d instead, that's preventing real damage.

This challenges everything about traditional addiction treatment, which demands total abstinence.

These folks weren't trying to quit everything. They just wanted safer lives. Having a lower-risk option helped them drink significantly less.

The pattern shows up everywhere. Lab studies, real-world data, even market trends. When cannabis is available, alcohol consumption drops.

This isn't going to cure addiction. It's about giving people choices that reduce harm.

And often, that's exactly what’s needed.

This is truly amazing.

Patients with an aggressive form of liver cancer survived significantly longer when treated with medicinal cannabis, according to a study of 491 patients receiving palliative care in northeastern Thailand.

In the study, researchers observed two groups of patients in palliative care with advanced-stage bile duct cancer. Of the 491 patients, 404 were receiving standard palliative care, and the remaining 87 were receiving cannabis treatment.

After results were adjusted for covariables, the study showed that those in the standard group survived for an average of 0.83 months, while survival in the cannabis treatment group was measured at 5.66 months.

The study authors suggested that cannabis could alleviate the symptoms of the cancer, such as pain and loss of appetite, as well as pointing to pre-clinical studies that suggest cannabis may have anti-tumour properties.

How to get the best flavour from your vaporiser?

Getting smooth, flavourful vapour isn’t luck, it’s technique. A few small tweaks can make a big difference.

✅ Grind your herb evenly
✅ Don’t overpack your chamber
✅ Keep your vaporiser clean
✅ Use the right temperature for your blend

What’s your go to temp for a smooth session? I usually start at around 179c and boost it for the second session. Probably around 185c. Depending on the device.
