Cannabis can help you with stress

Government shutdown, election nonsense, the end of summer, the news is full of all kinds of negative information. Plus, fall is here, along with the time of cuffing, the time of year when many short-term relationships are formed. It usually starts in the fall around October and ends in the spring around April – so there’s time to get dressed and taken off. And while a short-term relationship that ends with spring, swimsuits and sunbathing may sound strange, some people love it. It creates a cozy atmosphere and is a cozy companion for the long, dark months and the holidays. Cannabis can help you with stress from news, searches, and just life in general.

While marijuana can be a great escape mechanism, it can also be a constructive way to anchor yourself in the present and curb other, more harmful coping mechanisms.

Autumn brings with it many social events related to professional and family life. On the darker evenings we have the opportunity to have a drink earlier each day. While drinking may help you feel better in the short term, marijuana may play a more effective role in the long term, eliminating hangovers, treating your body kinder, and preventing sad drunkenness episodes. Next time you feel the urge to reach for that bottle of wine or whiskey you’ve been saving for a special occasion (the end of the world counts), reach for an edible instead. Your body can tell the difference.

If you are someone who experiences feelings of anxiety in the pit of your stomach that inhibit the desire to eat, marijuana might help. THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana, has been shown to stimulate appetite.

Neurons in the brain that are normally involved in appetite suppression were tricked by THC, according to a 2015 Yale study. The study’s lead author, Tamas Horvath, explains it this way:

“It’s like hitting the brakes on a car and accelerating instead. We were surprised to find that the neurons we thought were responsible for stopping eating suddenly activated, promoting hunger even when full. It fools the brain’s central nutritional system.”

The government agrees that this is a way to overcome fears and achieve normal eating habits.

Marijuana is an interesting compound; While it makes many people feel good, it also triggers a feeling of paranoia in many people. Manage your intake and talk to your budtender. As long as you keep track of your dosage, you can probably avoid bad reactions. Marijuana can help you have exciting conversations with friends, enjoy nature, or get lost in a video game, book, or movie. When used correctly, it will curb your brain when it feels like it’s going to the place of doom.

If you have had a bad experience with marijuana, try to remember what happened on the day that led to it. Was it because of the stress? Was it your mood? Have you been around people who triggered you? Keep these variables in mind whenever you plan to limit and limit the amount of stressors. Start slowly, preferably with something you’ve tried before, and increase the amount or experiment over time.

The right strain and dosage of marijuana can help you relax – something you may need after the very intense week we’ve all had. Consider the method of consumption: If you eat an edible, be patient and eat it sooner. If you smoke, make sure you sleep well at night and stay hydrated. The idea is to relax, not to knock yourself out. Unless you want it. In this case you should try it.
