🌱 What Is Cannabis?

Cannabis is a naturally occurring plant with centuries of use in medicine, wellness, and recreation. Its effects come from cannabinoids — active compounds that interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system to support balance, healing, and relaxation.

🔍 Two Key Cannabinoids:

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

• The psychoactive compound that creates the “high”

• Offers benefits like pain relief, reduced nausea, improved sleep, and appetite stimulation

CBD (Cannabidiol)

• Non-psychoactive and calming

• Used for anxiety, inflammation, pain relief, and overall wellness — without the “high”

🔄 Forms of Cannabis

Cannabis comes in many forms, each offering unique effects and ways to enjoy.

🌼 Flower (Bud)

• The traditional smokable form

• Can be smoked, vaporized, or infused into oils and edibles

💧 Concentrates

• Potent extracts (like wax, shatter, or oil)

• Deliver high cannabinoid levels and fast-acting effects

• Typically dabbed or vaped

🍬 Edibles

• Cannabis-infused food and drinks (gummies, chocolates, teas)

• Slower onset (30–90 minutes), but long-lasting effects

💊 Tinctures

• Liquid extracts applied under the tongue (sublingually)

• Fast-acting and easy to dose

🧴 Topicals

• Lotions, balms, and creams applied directly to the skin

• Provide localized relief with no psychoactive effects

💚 Benefits of Cannabis

Cannabis is known for enhancing quality of life — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

• Pain Relief: Supports chronic pain management for conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and migraines

• Stress & Anxiety Relief: CBD and some terpenes promote calm and reduce tension

• Improved Sleep: THC helps induce sleep; CBD may aid in regulating sleep cycles

• Appetite Support: Often used by individuals undergoing treatments like chemotherapy

• Anti-Inflammatory: Helps reduce swelling, muscle pain, and post-workout soreness

✅ How to Use Cannabis Safely

Your safety and comfort come first. Whether you’re new or experienced, follow these best practices:

🧪 Start Low, Go Slow

Begin with a small dose — especially edibles. You can always take more, but never less.

⚖️ Understand THC/CBD Ratios

• High-THC = Stronger psychoactive effects

• High-CBD = Milder, therapeutic results

🧠 Know Your Tolerance

Everyone’s body is different. Track how you respond to different products or doses.

🚫 Don’t Mix Substances

Avoid combining cannabis with alcohol or other drugs — effects can be unpredictable.

🚗 Never Drive High

Cannabis can impair coordination and reaction time. Always wait until the effects wear off before driving.
