⚖️ High #Anxiety: Is the THC Too Much? 😵💫 As #cannabis 🪴 has been selectively modified to contain high THC, it started to become apparent that focusing only on THC production may produce a potent high but is not always ideal for a balanced and relaxing experience. We are now entering an era where people who were once daily cannabis users are now turning a blind eye to cannabis—and many of them say it’s because the plant has become too strong or causes anxiety. Many cannabis users are self-medicating to relieve anxiety and reduce stress, so the experience of having cannabis induce higher levels of anxiety is counterintuitive, to say the least. In many cases, this is occurring because #THC is physically and mentally stimulating on its own. Without the presence of other cannabinoids such as CBD and CBG, paired with outlandish levels of THC, much of today’s cannabis #flower is not engineered for infrequent or sensitive cannabis users.

Did you know that there are over 100 chemical compounds in the cannabis plant known as cannabinoids? 🤔 Among them, THC and CBD stand out as the most studied and recognized. THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects commonly associated with cannabis consumption. On the other hand, CBD has gained popularity for its therapeutic properties without inducing the typical psychoactive effects of THC. What's truly astonishing is that our bodies have an endocannabinoid system, consisting of cannabinoid receptors distributed throughout the body. These receptors play a key role in regulating various functions such as mood, sleep, appetite, and the immune response. This intricate system and the complexity of cannabinoids highlight the fascinating relationship between cannabis and the human body. Were you aware of this amazing connection?

Cannabis edibles are absorbed either through the mouth or the stomach. The cannabinoids and terpenes penetrate the thin tissue inside your mouth and beneath your tongue or are processed during digestion. They then enter the bloodstream and interact with the receptors in your endocannabinoid system, similarly to other cannabis products. What effects do edibles have? Edibles containing a combination of cannabinoids and terpenes can induce the entourage effect. This concept suggests that the combined action of cannabinoids and terpenes (beyond THC alone) produces the full intoxicating experience associated with cannabis use. In contrast, edibles containing only THC isolate may still have a psychoactive impact, but they lack the entourage effect since only one cannabinoid is present and active in the product.

The Cannabinoid Crossovers: Overlapping Cannabinoid Usage 🌿 🔍 Did you know that 71% of hemp-derived THC consumers also use cannabis, and 65% have bought CBD in the past six months? Despite this overlap, many aren’t fully aware of what they’re using—only 56% identified Delta-9 THC as the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. This trend highlights the need for education in the rapidly evolving world of hemp and cannabis products. Head over to our blog to learn more about the rise of hemp-derived THC and how to navigate this dynamic market: ➡️ https://hubs.la/Q02Qzh4l0 #Cannabinoids #HempDerivedTHC #CannabisEducation #ConfidentConsumer #BrightfieldGroup:

🔍 What Are Cannabinoids? A Quick Breakdown! Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in cannabis plants. Here’s a simple guide to the most well-known types: 🌿 CBD (Cannabidiol): Non-psychoactive, known for its relaxing and balancing effects. 🌿 THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Psychoactive, responsible for the 'high' in cannabis but also therapeutic in low doses. 🌿 CBG (Cannabigerol): Often referred to as the "mother" of cannabinoids, it helps with mood regulation. 🌿 CBN (Cannabinol): Known for its potential sedative properties. Learn more about how these cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to promote overall wellness! #CBD #Cannabinoids #WellnessJourney #CBD101 #PlantBasedHealing

If I Have THC Tolerance, What Can I Do to Reverse It without taking a T-Break? The cannabis plant contains over a hundred discovered cannabinoids, many of which are considered minor cannabinoids due to their lower concentrations compared to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). These minor cannabinoids play unique roles in the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is a complex network of receptors and signaling molecules that helps regulate various physiological processes, including mood, pain, appetite, and memory. Incorporating minor cannabinoids into your cannabis regimen may help balance the ECS and potentially mitigate THC tolerance by offering complementary effects. Here are a few notable minor cannabinoids: Read the entire article here: https://lnkd.in/ejC7inG7 #THCTolerance #TBreak #ECS #EndocannabinoidSystem #ECSBalance #Multicannabinoid

A research team found that d-limonene, a chemical naturally present in cannabis, can reduce the anxiety-inducing effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. In a study published in the Journal of Drug and Alcohol Dependence, participants inhaled vaporized d-limonene alone, THC alone, a combination of both, or a placebo. The addition of d-limonene significantly reduced ratings of feeling "anxious/nervous" and "paranoid" compared to THC alone, without altering THC's desired effects. THC interacts with brain receptors to produce relaxation and euphoria, but higher doses can trigger anxiety, fear, and panic. As cannabis strains with high THC levels (20-30%) become more prevalent, d-limonene could help mitigate the risks of THC when used medicinally or recreationally. The study is a step towards making cannabis safer by uncovering ways to reduce THC's adverse effects.
