Marijuana Edibles Are Now Legal in Florida

New rules were quietly enacted on Wednesday, August 26, 2020! Marijuana edibles are now legal in Florida.  Here is everything you need to know about the edibles regulations and the timelines for products and marijuana edible availability across the state.  These aren’t the “pot brownies” of our past, these are sophisticated and super creative products and will surely be a tremendously popular form of consumption in Florida.  Let’s learn more now that marijuana edibles are now legal in Florida.

FLDOH Rules Marijuana Edibles Are Now Legal in Florida

The Florida Department of Health (FLDOH), which oversees the Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU), quietly published emergency rules for edible medical marijuana late Wednesday night (8/26/20). Variances should be issued to licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) this week and products will hit shelves soon after (hopefully by the end of the year or even sooner.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA RULES

  1. Are effective immediately.
  2. Basic rules in Florida
    • the edibles cannot have primary or bright colors in order to minimize attraction to children,
    • must not resemble any commercially available candy and
    • must be packaged appropriately.
    • Items like baked goods, lozenges, and chocolates are fair game.

While the rules took a few years to finalize, much of the waiting had to do with the establishment of a reliable testing infrastructure, which has been built up as the industry has grown.

Medical Marijuana Edibles – DISTRIBUTION

After more than three years of delays, a finalized version of the Medical Cannabis Edibles rules was posted to the Florida Administrative Code, with an effective administrative date of March 16, 2020. Since then, Florida’s leading MMTCs said they were still waiting on the Department of Health to issue rules regarding packaging and other essential requirements. But today, August 26, 2020 – we wait no more as marijuana edibles are NOW legal in Florida!

The Florida Department of Health has officially issued production standards, meaning dispensary sales of marijuana edibles are now legal in Florida!

Florida’s top marijuana companies have been working hard and preparing for this moment for years. Many have enormous production facilities servicing all of Florida.  Some of the larger companies lead the nation in production and serve nearly 400,000 patients in Florida alone.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA RULES FOR DISTRIBUTION

  • Under the new statute, all companies that will produce or manufacture edibles will be required to obtain an annual food permit, which can cost up to $650.
  • In preparation for the allowance of edibles, some have already partnered with companies throughout the United States to bring them into the Florida market.
    • Florida’s largest medical marijuana company, Trulieve, announced in 2018 that it had partnered with Bhang, a high-end Colorado company that boasts its cannabis chocolate, granola bars, fruit leather, honey, olive oil, and even French-inspired Pâté de Fruit candies.
    • Liberty Health Sciences similarly announced in 2018 that it was partnering with Incredibles, another cannabis confectionery.
    • Other companies like Curaleaf, MedMen, and MUV are all established in states that already have guidelines in place for edibles, so it is likely that they will bring existing partners into Florida dispensaries.

Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers tweeted Wednesday night: “Like I said… year of the edibles! Let’s go!!!”

Why are Marijuana Edibles so Popular?

As both medical and recreational marijuana become legal in a growing number of states, so too does the popularity of edible forms of cannabis. Data from Colorado, which was among the first states to legalize marijuana, indicates that marijuana edibles make up a whopping 45% of the states total marijuana sales. That figure doesn’t even take into consideration the homemade marijuana edibles that people have been whipping up for years so the fact that marijuana edibles are now legal in Florida could (and likely will) have a tremendous impact on the Florida marijuana market.

nationally representative study of adult cannabis users reported that nearly 30% of all users had consumed cannabis in edible or beverage forms.

In Canada, where both smoked and edible forms of cannabis are legal on a national basis, a 2019 study indicated that over 25% of all users preferred edibles. It has also been shown that individuals using cannabis for medical purposes are more receptive to edible products, and that edibles are more popular with older adults.

For patients who are unable to receive inhaled cannabis medications due to conditions such as asthma and COPD, or who simply dislike the taste of burnt marijuana, edible forms of the product provide a viable alternative.

BENEFITS NOW THAT MARIJUANA EDIBLES ARE NOW LEGAL IN FLORIDA

  • The ability to deliver measured dosages
  • A longer duration of effects as compared to smoking or vaping
  • No need for additional equipment such as vape pens or pipes
  • A 2016 manuscript on the subject outlined several additional potential benefits of edible cannabis:
    • edibles are a discreet and more convenient way to consume cannabis
    • edibles offer a “high” that is calmer and more relaxing than smoking cannabis and
    • edibles avoid the harmful toxins and health risks that come with smoking cannabis.

CAUTIONS NOW THAT MARIJUANA EDIBLES ARE NOW LEGAL IN FLORIDA

Although edibles are commonly viewed as a safer and more desirable alternative to smoked or vaped cannabis, physicians and the public should be aware of several risks related to the use of cannabis edibles.

  • Identification and regulation of dosages
  • Safety of production and packaging
  • Risks of over-consumption and accidental ingestion
  • Risks from the consumption of illicit or homemade edibles

Terpenes Make The Difference

Terpenes are essential oils created by plants to protect themselves from environmental stresses and are being studied for their benefits in addressing pain, anxiety, inflammation, depression, insomnia, and other health symptoms.

Details Matter

What about you?

To understand terpene focused CBD tinctures, we must understand the specifics of terpenes!

What are Terpenes?

Plants manufacture and secrete a wide variety of chemicals and compounds that play a critical role to plant health by providing natural protection from bacteria, fungus, insects, and other environmental stresses.  Increasingly, these naturally occurring chemicals and compounds are being studied for their wide-ranging uses in health and wellness applications. While the FDA and other agencies have generally recognized terpenes as “safe”, and it’s widely understood that terpenoids play a big role in boosting the therapeutic effect of plant medicine, they remain understudied today.  Altopa has created a technology that enables the precision blending of these botanical oils. As a team of technologists first, as we’ve developed the Oblend Platform, we have been amazed by the growing body of knowledge surrounding terpenes and their promise for use in natural wellness. We’ve shared an abbreviated summary for some of our more prevalent tepene ingredients to get you started. We’ll share more over time but we encourage to do your own research on the internet or send us a note and we’ll forward some of our favorite references.

Terpene Focused CBD Tinctures

Myrcene

Myrcene is the most common and plentiful terpene in cannabis. It’s also found in mango, with a flavor profile that’s a mix of citrus and musk.  This terpene, known for its sedative and relaxing effect, has been studied for its analgesic properties and may be part of the reason people have historically used cannabis for pain management.

Pinene

Pinene smells like forest pine and fir. This relatively common terpene is used in medicine as an anti-inflammatory, expectorant, bronchodilator and even as an anti-cancer agent in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Limonene

As its name seems to indicate, limonene has a sweet, citrusy smell. Citrus fruits are loaded with limonene which is commonly extracted for use in foods and other consumer products. Research into limonene surrounds its potential to improve mood and promote a sense of clarity and wakefulness.  Interestingly, limonene is currently undergoing clinical trials in the treatment of breast cancer. It’s even been found to promote weight loss.

Caryophyllene

Found in a variety of basil, cloves, and black pepper, this terpene has long been used as an anti-inflammatory in creams and salves and is thought to reduce anxiety.  When combined with CBD it’s been found effective in the treatment of chronic pain, suggesting that high-caryophyllene strains of hemp may be useful in treating a number of medical issues such as arthritis and neuropathic pain.

Linalool

Found in lavender, linalool has been used for centuries as a sleep aid. Linalool has been found to be helpful in the treatment of both psychosis and anxiety. Studies also suggest that linalool boosts the immune system, can reduce lung inflammation, and can restore cognitive and emotional function (making it a subject of many studies in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease).

Nerolidol

Naturally occurring in cannabis, ginger,  jasmine, and tea tree, studies of nerolidol have revealed multiple medicinal efficacies that could help patients with diseases as wide-ranging as bacterial infections, cancer, malaria, skin lesions, ulcers, and conditions involving systemic inflammation (including arthritis, asthma, and fibromyalgia).

How Long Does Cannabis Last

How Long Does Cannabis Last

How Long Does Cannabis Last?

Today we are going to talk all about a question we get all the time…..How Long Does Cannabis Last in the body and with its effects?  We will address CBD and THC in terms of how long it takes to take effect and also how long it stays in the body as we want you to be informed about your options.  To understand how long does cannabis last, we must first truly understand all the different options that users have with cannabis.

Methods of Intake to Help Understand How Long Does Cannabis Last

There are various forms of Cannabis products (with just CBD or including THC) so it is important to know how it is to be taken. There are basically five main methods of CBD intake available today.

Here are 5 main ways to take cannabis so we can better answer How Long Does Cannabis Last effectively.

ORAL METHODS OF CANNABIS CONSUMPTION

With this method, Cannabis is taken directly through the mouth (edibles, capsules, or anything immediately swallowed) where it makes its way through the digestive tract and then enters the bloodstream. Since the component becomes a part of the digestive system, it takes at least an hour or two to produce effects and this makes it the slowest form of cannabis effect onset. However, oral ingestion stays active in the body the longest. This method is ideal for neurological disorders and for pain relief.

SUBLINGUAL METHODS OF CANNABIS CONSUMPTION

Sublingual is a method for faster relief where capillary rich areas are targeted. Areas under the tongue, along the gums and cheeks, are capillary rich.  Given this, placing cannabis oil and/or tincture drops in these capillary rich areas allows fast absorption by the blood vessels within 15 minutes or so, cannabis gets going into the bloodstream.  It can take about 30-45 minutes to get the full effects going.

INHALATION METHODS OF CANNABIS CONSUMPTION

Cannabis absorbed through vapes or by smoking is hands-down the quickest ways to get cannabis going in the bloodstream. However, it inhaled cannabis remains active in the bloodstream for the shortest period of time. For instant relief from pain, depression, anxiety, or sleep issues, this is often the preferred method of consumption.

TOPICAL METHODS OF CANNABIS CONSUMPTION

Balms, lotions, creams, patches, and bath bombs with cannabis in them are used by applying them directly onto the skin (or soaking in a bath) gives cannabis access to muscles, pain-perceiving nerves, and inflammatory cells as it penetrates through the skin.

SUPPOSITORY METHOD OF CANNABIS CONSUMPTION

These cannabis products are inserted into the mucosal areas (such as the vagina or anus) where they are absorbed by the blood capillaries for local zones of pain relief.  The suppository method is a less preferred one but is mostly used in serious conditions. This method is especially helpful for menstrual cramps (vaginal suppository) or in cases where ingestion upsets a patient’s stomach (very uncommon).

How Long Does Cannabis Last – Feeling the Effects

The effect of Cannabis in the body will depend upon the method of intake.  These are averages in terms of how long it takes to start feeling the effects and how long the feelings will typically last.

ORAL CONSUMPTION

Being the slowest method of CBD absorption, the effects start within an hour on average and last for around 6-8 hours.

SUBLINGUAL CONSUMPTION

Being one of the quicker methods of intake, the effect begins within 15 minutes (full effects around 0-45 minutes) and typically last 3-4 hours.

INHALATION CONSUMPTION

This the fastest intake method and the effect begins within 2-10 minutes and lasts about 1-3 hours.

TOPICAL CONSUMPTION

This is a slower method of effectivity that begin quickly but often times takes multiple applications.  Its effects last for around 2-4 hours.

SUPPOSITORY CONSUMPTION

This method takes about 10-15 minutes to start feeling any effects, full effects can take up to an hour.  Effects can last as long as 8 hours (when using THC suppositories, many users report not feeling a “high” with this method, while still realizing the benefits).

How Long Does Cannabis Last – Detection in the Body

  • For someone taking cannabis for the first time, tests may detect it for about 3 days.
  • In someone who uses cannabis three or four times per week, the detection window is 5–7 days.
  • For people who use cannabis once a day or more, tests may detect it in their system for 30 days or longer.

Detection windows also depend on the kind of test a person undertakes. People who only use CBD are less likely to show detection of THC as qualified CBD products have only trace amounts of THC in them.  General estimates for various marijuana cannabis tests are as follows:

  • Urine tests can detect THC in the urine for approximately 3–30 days after use.
  • Saliva tests can detect THC for approximately 24 hours after use. Some saliva tests have detected marijuana for up to 72 hours.
  • Hair tests are the most sensitive tests, detecting THC for up to 90 days after use. However, these tests are testing the oil in skin that transfers to hair, and so they may occasionally show a false positive. A person who comes into contact with a THC user could, theoretically, test positive on a hair test.
  • Blood tests can only detect THC for 3–4 hours.

Ultimately the consumption decision is yours.  We have clients that enjoy all consumption methods for cannabis products with and without THC.

Push To Pass Marijuana Legalization Bill By Next Month

A coalition of major drug policy and civil rights organizations (including the ACLU and NAACP) is urging congressional leadership to hold a House floor vote on a comprehensive marijuana legalization bill by the end of next month (September 2020).

In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), more than 120 groups-including the American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP, Human Rights Watch, Drug Policy Alliance and Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights- are saying it’s important and urgent to hold the vote on the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act.

They say leadership should “swiftly advance this comprehensive marijuana justice policy that addresses criminal justice reform, racial justice, and equity” and noted that the Judiciary Committee approved the legislation last year. The bill currently has 83 cosponsors, including two who signed on this week.

The letter-which was also signed by the Center for Disability Rights, LatinoJustice PRLDEF, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Matthew Shepard Foundation and several chapters of NORML and Students for Sensible Drug Policy-says the MORE Act “addresses the collateral consequences of federal marijuana criminalization and takes steps to ensure the legal marketplace is diverse and inclusive of individuals most adversely impacted by prohibition.”

The MORE Act would federally de-schedule cannabis from the law, expunge the records of those with prior marijuana convictions, and impose a federal five percent tax on sales, revenue from which would be reinvested in communities most impacted by the drug war.

It would also create a pathway for resentencing for those in jail for marijuana offenses, as well as protect immigrants from being denied citizenship over cannabis and prevent federal agencies from denying public benefits or security clearances due to its use.

Cannabis for Insomnia

Cannabis for Insomnia
Cannabis for Insomnia

Cannabis for Insomnia

Today we are going to talk all about Cannabis for Insomnia.  We will address CBD and THC separately as each of these components of cannabis can have different effects on treating insomnia and we want you to be informed about your options.  To understand cannabis for insomnia, we must first truly understand what insomnia is.

What is Insomnia?

According to guidelines from a physician group, insomnia is difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, even when a person has the chance to do so.  Racing-thoughts, pain and tossing and turning can keep people awake for hours on end.  People with insomnia can feel frustrated with their sleep and usually experience one or more of the following symptoms:

  • fatigue,
  • low energy,
  • difficulty concentrating,
  • mood disturbances,
  • and decreased performance at work or at school.

One in four Americans experiences insomnia each year and out of those people, about 25% of them report it to be acute or chronic.

30 to 35% have brief symptoms of insomnia. 15 to 20% have a short-term insomnia disorder, which lasts less than three months. 10%-25% have a chronic insomnia disorder, which occurs at least three times per week for at least three months.

THE CBD ROUTE – Cannabis for Insomnia

Cannabidiol — also known as CBD — is one of the main cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids interact with your endocannabinoid system, which helps your body maintain a state of balance and stability or homeostasis.

Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD isn’t psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you “high.” Instead, it has a range of health applications and there is some research and anecdotal evidence that suggests that CBD can also help you get a good night’s sleep. Here’s what you need to know about using CBD for sleep.

If your insomnia is caused by external factors or related conditions, CBD may help by treating the causes of sleeplessness.

Research published in 2019 looked at whether CBD could improve sleep and or reduce anxiety. The study involved 72 subjects, with 47 experiencing anxiety and 25 experiencing poor sleep. The subjects were each given 25 milligrams (mg) of CBD in capsule form each day. In the first month, 79.2 percent of the patients reported lower anxiety levels and 66.7 percent reported better sleep.

Pain, which may also cause sleep problems, can be helped by CBD as well. A 2018 review in Frontiers in Pharmacology noted that there’s a fair amount of evidence to support the claim that CBD soothes pain. The authors note that by reducing chronic pain, CBD can improve sleep.

Other research tells us that CBD affects the sleep cycle. Research from 2014 looked at four patients with Parkinson’s disease. It found that CBD improved the symptoms of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a disorder in which a person acts out their dreams. RBD is associated with poor sleep and nightmares.

Even studies that conclude that CBD can improve sleep aren’t always able to say why. Most studies emphasize that we need more research on CBD before we fully understand how it affects our sleep.

However, as mentioned above, many researchers say that CBD improves sleep because it tackles the root causes of insomnia.  As more research is done on CBD, we’ll learn more and more about why and how it can help us sleep.  Original Article.

THE THC ROUTE – Cannabis for Insomnia

The cannabis plant has been used for centuries as a sleep aid. Contemporary scientific research has measured what people have known and experienced since ancient times: cannabis has relaxing and sedative effects. In particular, cannabis makes falling asleep easier. One recent study found that cannabis shortens the time it takes to fall asleep, both for people with sleep problems and people who fall asleep without trouble. Among people with active difficulty falling asleep, cannabis use resulted in an average of 30 minutes less time in falling asleep. The study also included a group of people who were able to fall asleep without difficulty. Among this group of strong sleepers, cannabis helped them fall asleep even faster, by 15 minutes.

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the main psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis. THC is what gives the high that’s associated with cannabis use. THC can provide pain relief, and is also useful in reducing nausea. Research shows THC has sedative effects, and can make it easier to fall asleep. There’s also emerging evidence suggesting that THC may improve breathing during sleep, which makes THC a potential therapy in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

THC appears to alter time spent in stages of sleep. Specifically, THC has been found to reduce time spent in REM sleep and increase time spent in slow-wave sleep.

Because of this diminished time in REM, THC reduces dreaming. That can be helpful to people who have conditions such as PTSD that involve frequent, disturbing dreams and nightmares. People may experience fewer dreams when using cannabis regularly. After stopping, its common to experience a burst of dreaming. That’s part of what’s known as REM rebound—an increase in REM that happens after REM has been suppressed.

Changes to sleep cycles are one factor to consider when evaluating whether, and how long, to use cannabis. All sleep cycles are important for healthy rest and functioning. Alterations to our nightly sleep architecture, especially over the long-term, can deprive us of the full restorative effects a night of sleep is biologically designed to provide.  Oringial Article.

Your Journey with Cannabis for Insomnia

Ultimately the decision is yours.  We have clients who prefer to use CBD because they specifically do not want the “high” associated with THC, and just as many clients who prefer the feeling of euphoria as they drift off to sleep.

Of special note:  if you do elect to use THC for insomnia, always select an INDICA strain of marijuana.

Here at CalmEffect, we can help you with either Cannabis route.  We carry a wide variety of high-quality, 3rd party-tested CBD products that we can ship right to your door.  If THC is your preference, we can help you get your legal use card in your state.

   

Missouri Medical Marijuana History

Missouri Medical Marijuana History

MISSOURI MEDICAL MARIJUANA HISTORY

Missouri Medical Marijuana History

In November 2018 the substantial beginning of Missouri Medical Marijuana History unfolded when Missouri residents approved with 66% of the vote a ballot measure (Amendment 2) to legalize the medical use of cannabis. The measure allowed qualified patients to grow up to six cannabis plants and purchase an amount of cannabis per month to be determined by state regulators (required to be at least 4 ounces). The measure set a 4% tax rate on medical cannabis sales with proceeds to be earmarked for services for military veterans. Although some qualifying conditions are specified, the law additionally allows cannabis to be recommended for any “chronic, debilitating, or other medical condition” as determined by a physician, along with any terminal illness.

Qualifying Conditions – Missouri Medical Marijuana History

Per Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution, a qualifying medical condition is:

  • Cancer
  • Epilepsy
  • Glaucoma
  • Intractable migraines unresponsive to other treatment
  • A chronic medical condition that causes severe, persistent pain or
  • persistent muscle spasms, including but not limited to those associated with
    • multiple sclerosis, seizures,
    • Parkinson’s disease,
    • and Tourette’s syndrome
  • Debilitating psychiatric disorders, including, but not limited to,
    • post-traumatic stress order, if diagnosed by a state-licensed psychiatrist
    • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or
    • Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
  • A chronic medical condition that is normally treated with prescription medications that could lead to physical or psychological dependence, when a physician determines that medical use of marijuana could be effective in treating that condition and would serve as a safer alternative to the prescription medication
  • A terminal illness
  • In the professional judgment of a physician, any other chronic, debilitating or other medical condition, including, but not limited to,
    • hepatitis C,
    • amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
    • inflammatory bowel disease,
    • Crohn’s disease,
    • Huntington’s disease,
    • autism,
    • neuropathies,
    • sickle cell anemia,
    • agitation of Alzheimer’s disease,
    • cachexia,
    • and wasting syndrome.

Legislation – Missouri Medical Marijuana History

Amendment 2, a constitutional amendment to allow medical cannabis, passed by a margin of 66 percent to 34 percent.  Under the new law, qualified patients who have approval from their physicians will receive identification cards from the state that will allow them and their registered caregivers to grow up to six marijuana plants and purchase at least four ounces of cannabis from dispensaries on a monthly basis.

Additionally, the state regulators will issue licenses for medical marijuana dispensaries, as well as cultivation, testing, and infused product manufacturing businesses.

Also on the ballot with Amendment 2 were two other medical cannabis initiatives that were defeated. Amendment 3 contained a narrower set of qualifying conditions, a higher tax rate of 15 percent, and would not have allowed home cultivation. It failed with 32 percent of the vote. A third measure, Proposition C, was a statutory change as opposed to a constitutional amendment. It set a two percent tax rate and also contained no home grow provision. It failed with 44 percent of the vote.

2020 Updates – Missouri Medical Marijuana History

In April 2020, Missourians made an effort to pass an adult-use marijuana legalization ballot initiative in Missouri. Despite the campaign’s impressive progress in a short time, signature-gathering efforts were ultimately halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Though disappointed, campaign leaders have vowed to build on the foundation of grassroots support and redouble efforts to end marijuana prohibition at the next available opportunity — most likely in 2022.

“We had hoped that it might be possible to persuade the state of Missouri to allow online signature gathering under the extraordinary circumstances we find ourselves in this spring,” said Dan Viets, coordinator for Missouri NORML.  “However, that has not proven to be an option, and there does not appear to be any other path to gathering the 170,000 valid signatures we would require prior to the deadline in early May.”

Thankfully, Missouri’s medical marijuana program appears to be on track to have medical marijuana available for patients by the Fall or Winter 2020. Regulators are allowing doctors to conduct medical marijuana assessments via telehealth, and over 40,000 Missourians have already registered as medical marijuana patients.

Check out this mini-poll about how Missourians feel about marijuana efforts in Missouri.

How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Missouri

To obtain a medical marijuana card, a patient needs to get a physician certification signed by a Missouri-licensed medical doctor that documents his or her medical condition. A patient should bring any relevant medical documents to an appointment to prove the medical condition. The physician certification proves that a doctor has recommended medical marijuana.  Here at CalmEffect we now offer medical marijuana appointments via Telemed and at discounted rates.

After receiving the signed physician’s certification, a patient must apply to the state health department for a card within thirty days of receiving the certification.

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any weirder, Mike Tyson continues to appear in the news in the strangest of ways.

First, word has been spreading that the Ranch Companies (which Tyson founded) has acquired a license to print cannabis cups. That’s right, print cups.  So, Tysons company plans to print cups that have the CBD and cannabis IN the CUP. Water-soluble cannabinoids are attached to the cups, so when they come in contact with water, the user consumes the cannabinoids.  Could this potentially help one of the challenges of the industry – consistent and accurate dosing?  We shall see!  Look for CBD forms first given there are fewer restrictions.

“For The Ranch Companies, it is very exciting to be working with Smart Cups’ technology, because it gives us the opportunity to make anything that is possible with this innovative tech,” Tyson said in an exclusive conversation.

“Having the ability to produce lines of ingestible cannabis products that will have accurate and consistent doses of cannabis is incredibly important to us.”

What Smart Cups does is print active and flavor ingredients from many natural products on the surfaces, thus eliminating all of the liquid from a beverage – consequently reducing transportation costs and carbon footprints.  Just add water and you have your fully flavored drink and your CBD.  Get more details from this Forbes article.

And then, we hear reports that Iron Mike is re-entering the boxing ring!  Yup, an exhibition has been scheduled for September 12, 2020 in Carson, California.  Mike Tyson is boxing in 2020!  A young, fit, 54, Tyson will be squaring off against Roy Jones, Jr, another boxing legend.  ESPN has the story.

 

So, where do the two stories intersect? We’re still trying to find out.  Will Tyson be using CBD? Will he have to stop smoking weed? I’m sure more news will come out over the next few weeks. We’ll be watching closely.

There are many CBD products available out there today.  Make sure you buy your CBD from:

  1. Someone you trust.
  2. Someone who’s going to help you along the journey.
  3. Someone with third-party testing for quality.

CalmEffect customers can shop here with confidence as we offer an entire marketplace of high-quality 3rd-Party Tested CBD products.  We make it easy for you to try CBD before you try THC and we are here for you along your journey.  If you do decide the THC is ultimately the path you choose, we are here to help you with that process too!

CBD mg Dosing – Understanding How to Buy and Use CBD

CBD mg Dosing

Oh, the wonders of CBD… Thousands upon THOUSANDS of people use (with great success) CBD every single day.  However, MANY are still confused about how to take CBD and get the most benefit.  The answer begins with understanding CBD mg dosing.

Fret no further.  We are going to break it down for you so you can get the most out of your CBD and quickly understand how to use it and how to buy it.

Whether you are a novice or an expert, you may just learn something to help you get the most out of CBD in 2020 and beyond.

CBD mg in Bottle

What is CBD mg Dosing?

When you look to purchase CBD, you will see that the container lists a mg content.  Let’s look at what this all means.

Take for instance, a bottle of CBD tincture.  Most manufacturers sell 30ml bottles.  The CBD mg dosing listing on the bottle is the mg’s of CBD contained in the entire bottle.  Tinctures typically come with a dropper that measures out 1 ml.  To determine how many mg are in each ml….take the total mg in the bottle and divide by the ml’s in the bottle.

Let’s take an example.  If you have a 300mg bottle of tincture and the size of the bottle is 30ml, then each ml (one full dropper) is 10mg of CBD (300mg/30ml = 10mg per ml)

FUN FACT:  Most tinctures are 30ml bottles with a 1ml dropper.  This is so you can easily measure out 1ml and dose 30 times for an easy 30-day supply.

CBD mg Dosing (5)

Buying 30ml of 1500mg CBD vs 30ml of 300mg CBD

Let’s break down the CBD mg dosing again to show you the savings.

A 30ml bottle is a 30ml bottle.  The size of the bottle isn’t the trick.  The trick is getting MORE CBD mg per dose.  To do so, buy a higher mg version of the 30ml bottle.  Let’s compare a 300mg bottle vs a 1500mg bottle.

A 300mg bottle is about $30.  Each FULL dropper (1ml) would give you 10mg of CBD.  Cost = $1.00 per 10mg dose.

A 1500mg bottle is about $100.  Each full dropper (1ml) would give you 50mg of CBD.  To get the same mg in a dose as the 300mg bottle, you would only need to take 1/5 of a dropper.  Cost = $.67 per 10mg dose.

What I Lost By Taking CBD and MMJ

What I Lost By

Taking CBD and MMJ

Taking CBD and MMJ

So many people have asked me questions about CBD, Hemp, Medical Marijuana – what works, what doesn’t, what I recommend… so many questions. And the other day, it dawned on me that I have never talked about my life, my health issues, and what led me to the CalmLife Journey. So, today, I want to share it with all of you.

For me, falling asleep was never an issue.  However, as I got older, I started waking up frequently during the middle of the night, and, unbeknownst to me, I was grinding my teeth during the night… which resulted in morning headaches. Severe, debilitating headaches that would take me out of my game for a few hours in the morning (something I just could not afford).

I had heard that marijuana/hemp could help, but honestly, I didn’t think it was right for me. That said, and given that it was available in my home state, I thought I would check it out. I mean, I thought, why not, what did I have to lose? Actually, I lost a lot!

Taking CBD and MMJ Was An Easy Process

Before I get into what I lost by taking CBD and MMJ, let me take you through the process of how easy the whole thing was. First, I got my card, and then, I picked up some medical marijuana at a local Dispensary. I started consuming (vaping) right before bed, and found out that it relaxed me even more; remember, falling asleep quickly was never a problem – it was staying asleep that was one of my issues. But the very first night I tried MMJ, I experienced calmness, plus a little of that euphoric feeling, that put me to sleep fast, and I was able to sleep longer without interruption.  The very first night. I was amazed when I woke up the next day; not only did I feel refreshed and rested like never before, I had NO headache! It had been years since I had felt so energetic and revived in the morning. Now, I can honestly say that I usually make it through the night, with NO headaches in the morning!

I had finally lost that exhausted, migraine-filled morning feel. Was it all because of the MMJ? Well, I’m not doing anything else differently, so I’m going to say, “Yes.” 

That said, I need to add that MMJ works differently for everyone; so finding the right THC/CBD ratio/strain and amount of dose is important. But I am hopeful, my story will motivate you to find out what works for you, so you can gain the same benefits I have.   

Another thing I want to mention in my story was how CBD affected me.  Again, it’s different for everyone. But I find that when I take CBD, it gives me a nice mellow feeling (without getting me high) and I find that incidences of me being sore (from sleeping the wrong way, chilling in a bad position, or just plain ole getting old) is little to none! 

In fact, one day recently, I threw out my back, and it was so painful, that I had to support myself when going from sitting to standing up.  A few years ago, I had done the same thing; it took me about 6 months to recover, so I was really scared this would take me out of commission the same way. I could not afford to deal with that pain again for 6 months.

So, knowing what I know about CBD and pain relief, this time I increased the mgs of my CBD, and a few days later I was feeling much better. I was shocked, given the experience last time, and how much better I felt this time, with the CBD. 

So, was it definitely the CBD that helped?  I don’t know. That said, when my family and friends ask me for help with any time of pain, I always recommend CBD, and I know for sure,  I will always continue to use it based on what I have seen and felt in my own life.

I hope my story of both MMJ and CBD has inspired you to look further in your own life, for a more natural alternative. My advice? If you are having migraines or headaches, can’t sleep, can’t stay asleep, or if you have back or other joint pain, let us help you find the right product, or combination of products, to help you.

Educating you on the benefits of CBD and MMJ, finding the right kind of product(s), and helping you to understand how much CBD and/or THC may work for you, is our specialty.

Making your options more accessible and affordable, is our mission.

Let us know how we can help you with your own CalmLife Journey. We are here for you!

And, if you have a story to share, on WHAT YOU LOST taking CBD and MMJ (pain, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, weight, or other), we’d love for you to share your story with us!

Hint: Its About Less Stress

CBD for Weight Loss – Its All About Reducing Stress

There are many strategies to losing weight; eating healthy, reducing sugar and fat intake, incorporating a more active lifestyle such as walking, weight lifting, yoga, etc.

But did you know one of the best, most successful ways to shed those pounds around the middle, is by reducing stress? Stress relief is not just a powerful tool for overall health and wellness; effective stress release helps to reduce that terrible, fat-inducing, fat-storing hormone called Cortisol.  And one of the best ways to potentially reduce Cortisol, is with CBD.

Metabolism and Cortisol

A healthy person’s level of cortisol, the primary stress hormone, rises and falls in a 24-hour cycle; it increases as the sun rises, and drops to its lowest levels a few hours after midnight. However, this ebb and flow is negatively affected by an increase in stress — either acute or chronic. Recent Studies from The National Institute of Health, report that CBD might be able to decrease cortisol levels by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, thus helping your metabolism’s natural rhythm. Additionally, adding CBD to your pre-workout routine might positively impact your energy levels and metabolic fire, helping to reduce fat.

This graphic helps illustrate the schematic representation of the endocannabinoid system and its effect on weight loss

JUST KIDDING!  

Let us show you the real deal with CBD and Weight Loss.

CBD and Weightloss

CBD May Reduce Appetite*

CBD for Weight Loss

It’s all about the CB1 receptors. It’s true, that people who smoke cannabis tend to feel more hungry than usual, due to the THC activating CB1 Receptors, and possibly causing increased appetite. But, the CBD in cannabis may actually do the opposite, by blocking CB1 receptors, and influencing other hormones to help reduce the appetite and prevent overeating.

CBD and Weightloss

CBD May Help in Converting Fat*

CBD for Weight Loss

There are two types of fat in our body, good fat and bad fat. When accumulated in excess, bad fat is related to chronic illness, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Good fat actually serves a purpose in generating heat by burning calories. A person at a healthy weight, tends to have more good fat than bad fat, and CBD may even help convert bad fat to good fat, resulting in more weight loss.

 

CBD and Weightloss

CBD May Help Stimulate Metabolism*

CBD for Weight Loss

CBD not only stimulates the proteins and genes that play a role in increasing the breakdown of fat, but it can also boost the number and activity of the mitochondria, thus amplifying the body’s ability to burn stored calories and fat throughout the day.

CBD and Weightloss

CBD May Help To Reduce Metabolic Disorders*

CBD for Weight Loss

The over-activation of the CB1 receptors in the fatty tissue, could contribute to obesity and metabolic risks. CB1 receptors become over-activate by stress and increased Cortisol levels. CBD helps to block off the CB1 receptors, by reducing stress, and thus reducing Cortisol levels. A chain reaction of sorts. Thus, CBD may help to reduce metabolic disorders, just by helping to reduce stress.

* These statements have not been approved by the FDA. It is best to speak with your doctor before beginning any new supplements, dietary change or exercise to lose weight

In people with obesity or problems with losing weight (especially with extra pounds around the waist), CB1 receptors become more widespread in fatty tissue. The recent study shows some evidence that CBD may help people lose weight, and/or help prevent metabolic disorders.

Now, we can’t promise….

You’ll Go From This…

CBD and Weightloss

To This….

CBD and Weightloss

…but it is an established medical fact, that by reducing cortisol, you will reduce stress, and thus have an easier time shedding those pounds. And CBD may be your trusted partner in reducing stress and anxiety. 

CBD and Weightloss

In fact, studies show that cannabis works with both the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the human body (yep…back to those receptors again) to regulate our emotional well being as well as regulation of homeostasis and even help with general pain. All of which will help in losing weight.
