When we think back about cannabis, we think, lazy, hippi, red eye, ‘munchie’, sleepy, psychotic indulgently high, images of youth rebellion associated with smoking, stoned appearances and in some cases classified as drug addicts.
Thank goodness times has changed ‘that youth has grown up’ and the real side of cannabis has come to the foreground.
Something we can hold on to from the past era of cannabis is the ‘MAKE LOVE NOT WAR’ concept of cannabis. Which this world today truly needs.
Cannabis in the now is open and available in South Africa. The important task ahead is to make sure that everyone understands the plant, the use and the medicine properly. Educating everyone with the correct knowledge and sticking to the main aim of what we as a cannabis community would like to achieve. That is to help and heal people and finding the best possible way to do so. We would like to keep the new era of cannabis clean and healthy. Move away from the stereotypes and creating a new healthy and positive stereotype. Making sure we can have cannabis available for a long time without any more stigmas or discrimination towards this wonder plant.
Healing with cannabis is not about the high. It’s about finding the best oil, dosage and digestive method that works best for your body. Gaining optimum health without doing any more harm to your body. It’s about making healthier choices and breaking the pattern of history repeating itself. Choosing Cannabis as your healing remedy is a lifestyle change it is not a quick fix.
How CBD works in the body; It keeps the cannabinoid system going. This cannabinoid system plays a huge part in the bodies communication system. Making sure that neurons deliver the correct messages to the correct destination, intact and on time. This is why CBD has shown to benefit so many different conditions more than 50 + conditions to be exact. One of the strongest scientific pieces of evidence of CBD is showing up in the effectiveness of cannabis and treating childhood epilepsy syndrome, such as Dravet syndrome, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). In numerous occasions CBD was able to reduce the number of seizures and in some cases stop them. Not to mention the effectiveness of CBD treatment and pain relief, CBD and its inflammation fighting properties and CBD and anxiety management.
How to choose the correct CBD oil for you; I compare CBD oils with wine. Like with wine you get different types of red wine, white wine and rose. Then in red wine you get Shiraz, Merlot and Pinotage. In white wines you get Sauvignon blank and Chardonay. Not everyone like red wine or white wine neither does everyone like Pinotage or Shiraz. It’s kind of the body telling the person what it’s comfortable with.
It’s the same with cannabis oils not one strain of cannabis oil is going to be adaptable to everyone. As you get indoor or outdoor cannabis plants. Under indoor and outdoor cannabis there are hundreds of different strains with each their own benefits. Then to add to the tricky part of finding the correct CBD oil and dosage there’s also the different digestive methos with each their own benefits. We can drink the oil, use topical application ‘pechoti method’, eat the oil or smoke the oil.
Micro dosing with oil is tiny bits over a long period of time continuedly feeding the cannabinoid system keeping it going to a point where you do not need to reach for an edible or smoking. Also, the most effective digestive method.
When eating an edible, the effect of the CBD last longer so you will get much longer relieve from an edible than what you would get from just drinking the oil or smoking the plant. Edibles are best for pain relieve and insomnia.
Smoking is a quick in and a quick out. Smoking is best to treat anxiety attacks as it will bring relieve much faster than any of the other digestive methods as smoking is the quickest way to get the CBD into the blood stream. Although with smoking and edibles it is tricky to measure your dosage.
The aim of CBD treatment is tiny bits over a long period of time. When Micro dosing with CBD oil you can measure your dosage and avoid getting to a point of an anxiety attack or severe pain. Most people see results in week one but the all over results will be seen over a 90-day period.
Make sure to check the extraction process and the carrier oils used during production when purchasing a CBD oil. You want these to be as natural and pure as possible.
