FEELING AWESOME IS THE NEW “HIGH” FOR SOME PATIENTS

GreenBridge Medical Blog FEELING AWESOME IS THE NEW “HIGH” FOR SOME PATIENTS

Another way of saying this, if you enjoy smoking or vaping THC, consider vaping a 1:1 CBD:THC flower or oil.

For chronic THC users, the feeling of getting “high” becomes more and more elusive. This is due to our down-regulating or suppressing our CB-1 or Cannabinoid-1 receptors in our brain. This is another way of saying we become “tolerant” to the effects of THC. Patients go to dabs and other concentrates, but ultimately our CB-1 receptor gets hammered and more and more oil is “needed” and certainly used.

As there are some 1:1 or 2:1 CBD:THC strains out there, such as Harlequin and Omrita, with others to come, I have been hearing from patients how they feel.

1. They generally love it and love just having a different feeling of being High

2. They become more sensitive to THC; i.e. they up-regulate their CB-1 receptors.

3. They have less pain

4. They never get that THC anxiety feeling

5. Often more mood and clarity elevation

So, start asking your dispensaries to start carrying some CBD:THC balanced oils and flowers.

Cannabis May Prevent COVID-19 Infections
Early studies in both Israel and Canada show findings consistent with CBD's effect on COVID-19's ability to take hold in the lungs or the gastrointestinal tract. If the receptors are reduced, the viral infection and pulmonary toxicity should be reduced.
