Resolutions & Cannabis-As we celebrate the New Year, many of us set resolutions with the goal on enhancing our well-being and quality of life. In this article we’ll explore how cannabis can support your journey in a few common resolutions; getting more sleep, finding joy and laughing more, and reducing your alcohol consumption by participating in “Dry January”. For this article, we’ll focus on cannabis edibles specifically. If you’re interested in flower, pre-rolls, vapes, other other products, give us a call!
- “GET MORE SLEEP”
According to the CDC, nearly 1/3 of US adults report regularly not getting enough sleep. Sleep deficiency can, over time, lead to physical and mental health issues, injuries, loss of productivity, and other unfortunate side effects. The demands of work, personal responsibilities, the stress of daily life, and issues with pain often leave many of tossing and turning at night. Enter cannabis, a natural solution that been use for centuries to promote relaxation and tranquility.
Cannabis contains compounds like CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahyrdocannabinol) which many users report have relaxing and sedative properties. Additionally, recent studies have illustrated how, over time, THC undergoes a chemical transformation to the little known compound CBN (cannabinol) which many users report has assisted with sleep. Consuming cannabis with higher CBD content can help alleviate anxiety and stress and promote a calm state of mind that is more conducive to sleep. Cannabis edibles are a terrific way to ease your transition to sleep. Edibles allow the user to tightly control the dose, offer effects that may help individuals both fall AND stay asleep, and they’re delicious!

2. LAUGH MORE
All too often, we greet the New Year swearing to find more joy in our lives. Making a resolution to laugh louder for longer. Laughter & joy are powerful tools for reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing overall-well being. Cannabis has long been renowned for it’s ability to induce euphoria and laughter, making it an idea companion for anyone looking to find more joy in their lives.
The secret magic behind this mirthful magic lies, in part, with THC, the main psychoactive component in cannabis. Cannabis stimulates the release of dopamine in your brain, often acting as a burst of joy and creating a sense of happiness and euphoria that turns mundane moments into laugh-out-loud romps. But wait! THERE’S MORE!
Cannabis has a unique relationship with anandamide, often called the “bliss molecule”. Anandamide is naturally produced in the body and plays a crucial role in regulating mood, memory, and pleasure. Amazingly, THC mimics the structure of anandamide, binding to the same receptors and prolonging it’s feel good effects. So when you indulge in a comedy marathon or host a laughter filled game night, incorporating cannabis can contribute to a lighter, more laugh filled time. Move slowly, find your optimal dosage, and take a small joyride!
