  • A newly discovered cannabinoid, THCP (tetrahydrocannabiphorol), appears to be an even more potent cannabinoid than THC. According to recent findings, THCP molecules bind stronger to the CB1 receptors in our bodies than standard other THC molecules. More research is needed to learn the full potential of THCP, so check out the link in our bio.

  • In the world of agriculture, a new method of removing toxins from soil with hemp plants has provided some farmers with an eco-friendly alternative in this process. By using fast-growing hemp as a “phytoremediator,” which is a plant source that filters the toxins out of the soil via the root system, farmers have discovered a more efficient and green way to purer soil. The resulting hemp plants can be used for industrial goods after they  have cleaned the soil. To learn more about using hemp for phytoremediation, click the link in our bio.

  • Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CED) is a phenomenon where the body’s endocannabinoid system is not functioning properly due to receiving or producing insufficient amounts of cannabinoids to maintain the chemical balance needed to react with other systems of the body, at homeostasis. Cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, including cannabidiol (CBD), are analogous to those that are naturally produced in the body as neuromodulatory lipids. Research tested by Dr. Ethan Russo suggests that these endocannabinoid insufficiencies are linked to disorders such as migraine, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome.

  • When it comes to treating arthritis pain with cannabis, an overwhelming majority of patients have seen results without the negative side effects found with prescription meds. In fact, researchers reported that 93% of those who tried CBD found that it improved their arthritis immediately.

Unfortunately, for most of those living in dry states, those that enjoyed using cannabis have had to stop medicating due to its illegalization and lack of accessibility. But as pressure grows to legalize the cannabis industry on the federal level, natural arthritis relief is on the horizon for everyone.

The energetic boost of caffeine combined with the mellowing effect of the average strain are how many cannabis enthusiasts prefer to start their day. As complimentary as these two elements are, there is more to the relationship than meets the eye.
