  • New Study: Cannabis Effective Treatment for Alcoholism

    New Study: Cannabis Effective Treatment for Alcoholism

    A recent study published in The Journal of Neuroscience has found that chronic alcoholics could have a smoother recovery process through the use of cannabis.

    Cannabinoids, the primary healing compounds found in cannabis, work as a neuroprotective shield, allowing the substance to infiltrate the part of the brain damaged by the withdrawal process. As a result, cravings are dramatically reduced, giving the alcoholic a stronger chance of recovery.

    While some health experts have shown concern that such treatment is simply replacing one habit with another, those living with alcohol addiction view cannabis as the more manageable, and less harmful, option. The U.S government has published statistics showing that alcohol is responsible for nearly 88,000 deaths in the country each year, where there has yet to be any casualties reported as a result of cannabis usage.

  • What’s the Shelf Life of Cannabis Oil?

    What’s the Shelf Life of Cannabis Oil?

    Finding a long-lost cannabis concentrate is a bittersweet moment. Your discovered concentrate was left stranded in a pair of jeans that had been stuffed in the far reaches of your dresser, untouched since that last camping trip. For about a year, it’s been sitting in between some parchment paper, waiting for you to unearth it.

    The good news: no mold. The bad news: it doesn’t look like the translucent and golden “shatter” you once had. What’s before you now looks like a collection of off-yellow sugar crystals. Has this hash oil gone past its shelf life? Can you still enjoy it?

  • Microdose Magic

    Microdose Magic

    A microdose is defined as taking 1/100th the expected pharmacological dose for a medication.  With cannabis as an example, the goal is to derive some of the benefits without getting high.

    “Kiva has heard from Google engineers who micro-dose all day at work, as well as busy women who use a tiny amount of cannabis to manage stress while maintaining focus.”

    Get the Benefits without Getting Stoned – Green State

    It’s often about leaning in to life …We’re trying to talk about this as a productivity tool, as a sort of life-hacking tool … Microdosing is all about conscious cannabis use. You can also use it to replace some of the over-the-counter medications or some of these recreational products — the beer at lunch people are using to relax, smoke breaks, Valium. All of these are already integrated into society, and we can start to turn to cannabis for a really safe and effective alternative.

    Mondo’s Founder discovered the clear benefits of microdosing, but wasn’t satisfied with the options available. The taste and variety of available edibles and the imprecise dosages led O’Brien to develop her own “low dose powder that people can mix into the foods they were already comfortable eating.”

    Through education we want to teach people that cannabis consumption can be used to enhance productive lifestyles.

    Many women claim that this non-traditional drug route allows them to steer clear of addictive anti-depressants and painkillers, while still feeling really good.

  • Can Low Doses of THC Help Restore Memory?

    Can Low Doses of THC Help Restore Memory?

    A recent study found that the active ingredient in cannabis restores memory in older mice. But what — if anything — does that mean for us?

    The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, was conducted by scientists in Germany.

    Over a period of one month, one group of mice of various ages was given continuous low doses of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. A control group of mice was given a placebo.

    The scientists tested cognitive ability like memory and learning skills in the mice. Normally you would expect learning and memory performance to decline with age. But this study delivered a surprising result.
