Cannabis Positive Effects

Marijuana provides users with a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Effects will be different depending on the weed strain and the user.  Indica flowers tend to leave the user more relaxed and mellow, whereas Sativa dominant strains often result in a more upbeat and cerebral experience.

Cannabis Medical Benefits

Being smoked for centuries for their medicinal properties, cannabis buds are highly aromatic and flavorful and come in a wide variety with thousands of different strains. In general, many medical marijuana patients use cannabis to ease stress and pain, and others use cannabis to promote hunger and induce sleep. Sativa strains can help with things such as anxiety.  Indica strains are often used as night time weed and help treat things such as trouble sleeping.

Different Types of Cannabis 

There are literally thousands of different marijuana strains and within each strain are different qualities of buds that range from top shelf premium marijuana to cheap weed and budget buds. 

The 3 main categories of cannabis are:

Indica Strains

Sativa Strains

Hybrid Strains

Cannabis Flowers Vs Cannabis Concentrates:  

Marijuana flowers are much less potent than concentrates. It is recommended for newcomers to get their feet wet in regular cannabis before moving on to weed concentrates.

Cannabis Flowers Vs Weed Edibles:

Cannabis edibles are much more potent and should be taken with care. Since cannabis edibles are ingested, they react differently to receptors, often resulting in more intense and longer couchlock sensations. 

How to Grow Cannabis?

Marijuana is an easy plant to grow. It is a “weed” after all!  You just need some decent soil (or alternate growing medium), fertilizer/nutrients that are high in nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), a good source of light and you’re ready to go!  Of course, if you want premium weed, more experience and better equipment and tools are likely needed. 

How to take Cannabis?

There are many different methods to pump yourself full of THC. The most common way is to smoke weed in a joint, bong, pipe, or dry herb vaporizer.  You can also turn cannabis buds into concentrates and infuse THC into food and create edibles to eat.  

How to Store Cannabis?

The best way to store cannabis is in an airtight bag/container and keep it in a cool and dark place. Light and warmth degrades terpenes and shortens the weed's shelf life. If the goal is to store a larger quantity for a longer period of time, it is recommended to vacuum seal the cannabis and store it in the freezer in an appropriate typed bag. 

Cannabis/Ganja Side Effects:

The good news about cannabis is that serious side effects are uncommon. However, there are cannabis studies that show that marijuana does have a bit of a dark side with potential negative effects.  Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common problems and are merely minor inconveniences.  However, dizziness, paranoia, headaches, nausea and anxiety are reported in cases of excessive use. The good thing is that even if you do get any of these side effects, they are often very minor and subside relatively quickly.
