Flowers: vape or smoke?

admin — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 22:57:29 +0000

Smoking weed can be done alone or shared as a meaningful way to socialize. Often, preparing the herb for ingestion is part of the fun, ritualistic, and social aspects of smoking.

Vaping, on the other hand, provides a more discreet experience than smoking, as it’s easy to hide and doesn’t smell the same as burnt flowers. Cannabis smoke produces a characteristic odor that lingers.

The two methods have important similarities and differences. Let’s start talking about the similarities:

1- In both the time of action is almost immediate. Between 3 and 5 minutes the patient can already feel the effects.

2- In these two forms of use, who controls the dose is the patient through the amount of inhalations (“puffs”).

3- It can be very useful for moments of pain, crisis, nausea, anxiety and even insomnia.

But then. What’s the difference?

Combustion, my friend. By vaporizing it is possible to control the temperature at which you heat your flowers, in this way the production of toxins is much lower. Smoking produces toxins like tar and ammonia, which can be very harmful to your body and health.

That’s why it’s always important to measure risks x benefits, seeking to reduce damage. And of course, be accompanied by a doctor who knows about it.

Flower in nature X cannabis oil

Neither better nor worse. Just different! Cannabis oil has gained increasing popularity and adherence among prescribing physicians and people using cannabinoids therapeutically.

But did you know that the plant in nature can also be a great ally? Many doctors have even made associations of both: the oil as part of a regular treatment, and the flowers for times of pain crises, anxiety, panic, nausea and even insomnia, for example.

According to Dr.Pedro Melo from CBDoctors, the inhaled use of cannabis has therapeutic effects as good as the gastric use. “We achieved a much faster delivery of cannabinoids and activation of these substances, which should always be remembered as a great option by doctors and patients.”

Difference between flower and oil:

Flower – use inhaled and the effects start 3 to 4 minutes after use. It is often used for acute pain.

Cannabis oil – uses dripping drops and effects start within an hour of use. It is often used for chronic pain.

The professor Raphael Mechoulam, also known as the “father of cannabis research”, has died at the age of 92. Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Mechoulam is credited with being the first person to synthesize THC. Mechoulam was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1930 to a Sephardic Jewish family. His family later moved to Israel, where Mechoulam studied chemistry.

As a way of honoring and honoring his legacy, we separate 5 moments in which this great man showed that the future is cannabis.

1- When you managed to isolate the components of cannabis and identify their effects;

2- When he led the research group that identified that the human body also produces cannabinoids;

3- When he discovered a substance capable of controlling seizures in people with refractory epilepsy;

4- When he helped make Israel the biggest reference in cannabis research;

5- When he did science and encouraged dozens of professionals around the world to do it too. And thanks to that, today thousands of people can safely and legally treat themselves with cannabis-based products.

He received the Israel Prize in Exact Sciences – Chemistry in 2000, the NIDA Discovery Award in 2011, and the Harvey Prize (an annual Israeli award for discoveries in science and technology) in 2019.

CBD is an abbreviation for cannabidiol. Cannabidiol is a natural substance found in cannabis, also known as marijuana, and also in hemp plants. Today, you can find CBD oil in capsules, oil bases for vaporizers, tinctures, food items, and beauty products such as bath bombs or lotions.

Unlike THC, CBD is not intoxicating or psychoactive. Proponents of CBD oil and other CBD products claim that it can be used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, inflammation, migraines, epilepsy, autoimmune diseases, depression, and anxiety.

Health Benefits

Researchers are looking for answers when it comes to the full potential of CBD. What have they discovered in the meantime? Check out 5 health benefits of CBD

1. Reducing inflammation
CBD has been proven to help reduce inflammation and the neuropathic pain it can cause.

2. Treating anxiety disorders
Anxiety is perhaps the most common affliction that people have used CBD for, and a preclinical study found that CBD could be effective in treating generalized anxiety disorder and panic

3. Preventing seizures
Decades of research have gone into using CBD to treat epilepsy and other seizure syndromes, and a recent study showed it can have positive effects in reducing symptoms and seizure frequency.

4. Fighting cancer
Not only has CBD been used to help alleviate the effects of chemotherapy, but studies have also found it can prevent cell growth and induce cell death in cervical cancer cell lines and it has numerous anti-cancer effects that can help prevent a variety of cancers, treat tumors, and benefit the immune system.

5. Lowering blood pressure
A study constatthat CBD lowered the blood pressure of human participants. It reduced their resting blood pressure as well as their blood pressure after stress tests including mental arithmetic, isometric exercise, and the cold pressor test.

New Frontier Data, a leader in cannabis data and business intelligence, has released a report that identifies distinct consumption patterns and examines market trends to provide insight into the trajectory of the US cannabis flower market.

“As product options expand and consumers are more intentional with their use, we’re seeing them complement but not replace their consumption of flowers,” said Gary Allen, CEO of New Frontier Data.

“It is especially important for flower brands to understand the resulting impact on demand for their products, identify the most suitable applications, and align their marketing and brand positioning to reflect their target audience’s preferences.”

Check out the main conclusions of the report:
– More than half of medical cannabis patients report that their conditions have significantly improved, creating positive experiences that are accelerating acceptance and adoption of medical use.
– Nearly half of consumers report daily use as product innovation and advancements allow for more convenient, discreet and accurate consumption.
– With combined U.S. legal and illicit sales estimated to be $97 billion in 2021, consumer spending on cannabis now exceeds spending on spirits and matches spending on beer annually.
– More than half of all consumers say they are eager to try new products, and this enthusiasm is creating opportunities for product innovation and targeted branding strategies.
