Specific cannabis strains and forms, taken at different dosages can deliver a wide range of effects. And those effects can be different from person to person because we all have (perfectly) unique physiologies and preferences.
Ask your Key Budtender for a recommendation based on the feeling you want to achieve, listen to your body, keep track of your experiences and find your favorites.
What are the Recreational Benefits of Cannabis?
Discovering how cannabis can enhance your day to day can be truly transformative for your mind and body. Here are just a few of the effects cannabis (with varying levels of THC and CBD) can provide:
Stress relief and relaxation: Always on? Flip the switch and invite some well-deserved downtime into your day. Cannabis brings calming, soothing properties to help alleviate stress. Try strains known for their relaxing effects to promote a peaceful state of mind.
Creativity and focus: Whether you’re an artist, writer, chef, or entrepreneur, unlock your imagination with cannabis. Explore strains that stimulate creative thinking and provide a fresh perspective. And by opening new pathways in the brain, cannabis can even enhance your focus on projects.
Physical and mental wellness: Cannabis is increasingly recognized for its potential to support overall well-being. The physical help it offers for people dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, or discomfort can also provide emotional support. Cannabis is a natural alternative for people who need help falling asleep and can help combat depression and anxiety.
Enhanced social experiences: Tired of feeling socially awkward? Or looking for a way to elevate shared experiences? Whether you’re spending time with friends or attending a social gathering, cannabis brings connection, laughter, and a sense of camaraderie. It can create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making conversations and bonding moments even more memorable.
Heightened sensory experiences: Looking for a sensory journey? Cannabis can enhance experiences such as music, art, food and even sex. It can intensify sensations and allow for a deeper appreciation of the world around you. Music sounds richer, colors are more vibrant, and flavors are more pronounced, creating an immersive experience for your senses.
What are the Medical Benefits of Cannabis?
Here’s a snapshot of some of the known medical benefits of cannabis but know that your body is unique and may respond differently. Talk to your healthcare professional about using cannabis for medical purposes. In many cases, a combination of both THC and CBD can be helpful for therapeutic use.
THC (gets you high)
Appetite stimulation: THC is known to increase appetite (hello munchies), which is good for people with reduced appetites due to medical conditions like cancer or HIV/AIDS.
Glaucoma management: THC can help lower intraocular pressure, which is helpful for people with glaucoma.
Muscle relaxation: THC has muscle relaxant properties that can help alleviate muscle spasms and stiffness.
Nausea and vomiting control: THC can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and other medical conditions.
Pain relief: THC can help with chronic pain including neuropathic pain in conditions like multiple sclerosis and cancer.
Sleep aid: THC may help improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms for some people.
CBD (does NOT get you high)
Anti-inflammatory effects: CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties can be beneficial in conditions involving inflammation, such as arthritis.
Anxiety and stress reduction: CBD may help with anxiety and stress and promote relaxation.
Epilepsy management: CBD can help reduce seizures in certain types of epilepsy, like Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
Mental health support: CBD may assist in managing symptoms of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health conditions.
Neuroprotective properties: CBD may protect the nervous system and help people with conditions like Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
Pain relief: CBD has been known to reduce chronic pain and inflammation.
Sleep aid: CBD may help improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms for some people.
It’s important to note that the research on both THC and CBD is ongoing, and their effects can vary depending on the individual and specific circumstances.
