Exploring the most common uses for non-psychoactive cannabis component CBD

6/29/2018

1 Comment

Modern research into the cannabis plant has introduced us to more than 100 rare compounds known as cannabinoids. Of most interest currently to the medical world is cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive component of the herb with a myriad of therapeutic properties. CBD helps to restore balance to the endocannabinoid system, a network in the body that scientists have recently realized plays a huge role in our physical and mental health. ​

That people can now receive the medical benefits of marijuana with no psychoactive side effects has turbo-charged the herb’s potential as a mainstream medication. In the past, the possible mental health side effects of too much tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) turned many against cannabis, but that was before the qualities of CBD and other non-intoxicating cannabinoids came to light. 

Beyond helping people directly with their conditions, studies show that CBD also enables many patients to reduce the quantity of prescription drugs they take. A long-term investigation of 435 participants conducted by Israeli organization Tikun Olam found that medical cannabis use allowed them to reduce their prescription drug intake by 75 percent. Considering that strong painkillers can have harmful, addictive side effects while cannabinoids do not, this is a significant development.

In Maine, the lobster is king, and few do it better than Beal’s Lobster Pier in Southwest Harbor, which is mere minutes away from parts of the famous Acadia National Park. Or at least that was my experience during my honeymoon last week. Acadia is what attracted my newlywed wife and I to the area, but it was Beal’s Lobster Pier that offered a unique experience, because not only do they offer the freshest seafood, they make it fun, messy and something to always remember.

Healing with Cannabis: featuring UK’s CannaWell

Once thought to be a harmful, mind-changing, life-ruining, disaster drug, cannabis is now being understood as perhaps the most therapeutic and healing* plants in the world. Cannabis is the latin name for both hemp and marijuana, and  is what produces a range of cannabinoids, or compounds, that are effective in a myriad of treatments, and is safe in large doses, unlike most prescription drugs; and even more so unlike prescription drugs, there’s no chemical dependency or fear of addiction, and there are little to no side effects. With this new understanding, new laws are opening up the possibilities for researchers, scientists and health professionals to not only study and gain a new understanding, while also allowing companies the opportunity to create new and exciting products that have never been available over the counter before now.

Considering Natural Treatments for Dogs & Other Pets: featuring PranaPets

6/18/2018

One of the biggest joys in my life is my dogs, as they are both like my children, providing me with positive moments, emotional support, and unceasing love always. Not only are they among my best of friends, but they are my babies, and for as much as they rely on me and love me, I return such devotion, because we’ve grown an amazing bond unlike any other animal. While it is of course possible to strike a deep connection with another living being, there’s no denying the symbiosis between human and canine. So, since they are my furbabies, I go above and beyond to make sure they have a full, happy, and healthy life, which is why I reached out to PranaPets to try out their CBD and natural herbal medicines*.
