What can I expect emotionally and mentally from consuming cannabis?

You can expect to experience an energizing euphoria and a grounding relaxation, intensification of sensory experiences, and an occasional bout of laughter and joy.  

You can expect to stay more deeply in the present moment, cultivate an inner silence, and allow a deeper relaxation to flood the areas of the body that are normally tight, tense, and achy.  

You may now, for the first time, allow emotions to surface that previous would have been intolerable.  You may find it easier to suspend whatever stands in the way and allow your innate capacity for self-healing to flow through you.

FAQs

 

I’m growing cannabis at home and my plants are getting big. How do I get them to start producing bud?

Cannabis plants require a consistent cycle of 12 hours of light followed by twelve hours of darkness.  The plants will continue to grow up an out if they are grown from non auto flower seeds. The best option is to grow the plants in a blackout grow tent with all the lights on an automated timer.  When you are ready to start the flowering process simply switch the timer from 18 ours of light and 6 hours of darkness over to 12 and 12.  Remember that during the flowering stretch they will near double in height so make sure you have enough room between your plants and your lights!

Is Cannabis is a catalyst of the current spiritual renaissance?

Cannabis can help us dissolve our head based beliefs and relax down into direct and intuitive heart perception and the wisdom of the body.

“The cannabis herb is the key to the new understanding of the self, the universe, and the creator.  It is the vehicle to cosmic consciousness; it introduces one to levels of reality not ordinarily perceived…..and it develops a certain sense of fusion with all living things.  – Leonard E. Barrett

Ref: A Renaissance of the People’s Plant.  Stephen Gray. 


Can Cannabis expand the portal to inner stillness and intuition?

A core aspect of spiritual work with cannabis is the journey toward relaxing and letting go into inner stillness.  Stillness, shunyata in Buddhist teaching, is synonymous with peace.  Awareness in the presence of stillness walks hand in hand with love.

Cannabis can assist with the dissolution of the thought form distractions that prevent us from achieving inner stillness.  Once inner stillness and silent awareness is achieved, heart base intuition can begin to flow.  It is from this state of being that one can truly begin to know oneself.

Can adding the practice of gratitude while consuming cannabis enhance your experience?

Gratitude is one of the most powerful forces in the quantum field.  Forgiveness and expressions of gratitude can stop the wheel of karma and assist with the manifestation of positive synchronicities in your life.  

Expressing gratitude before, during, and after consuming cannabis can raise your vibration and enhance not only your experience but many experiences in your life.

Give thanks to all that made it possible.  It’s a gift of nature, a wonder of the universe.  Bless your experience and state your intention of what you’d like the plant to do. They gave their lives for you so honor them with gratitude.

What are the effects of inhaling burned plant material on the lungs?

Whenever plant material is burned, smoke with it is released, and with it potentially harmful particles.  However, the largest population-based case-controlled study ever conducted of cannabis-only use yielded counterintuitive results that may just surprise you.

For the 2,253 people that were observed in the study, smoking only cannabis was found to be lung protective and was NOT associate with an increase in lung cancer.

Cannabis was found to have therapeutic effects in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.

The cannabis experience can be a reflection of the vast human capacity for self-healing.

Consuming cannabis can assist with and enhance the following 7 tenants of self healing:

  1. The ability to consciously select gene expression utilizing the practice of epigenetics.

  2. Expansion of the visual spectrum can ensue with extraordinary states of consciousness born from mediation, mindfulness, or shamanic practice, which can bring revealing vision and healing insight.

  3. The awareness of creating one’s life experience deliberately contributes new dept of feeling and responsibility.

  4. The ability to develop and hone one’s intuition.

  5. The ability to heal oneself and others can arise when we enter a state of deep relaxation that supports and balances our capacity for self healing; we can understand what makes us vulnerable to illness and disease and make healthier choices.

  6. Communication with other realms in visionary, dream-like states can be employed for meaning and healing

  7. New and creative means to inspire solutions to all kinds of problems are readily available when we learn to let go of control and domination and instead embrace a non-defensive, vulnerable, and curious mind.

How does smoking weed compare to consuming alcohol?

Smoking weed is a much healthier option than consuming alcohol.

Alcohol, especially in excess increases liver disease, cancer risk, and damages the heart. It is a depressant with a very real risk of physical addiction and abuse.  In younger women, it negatively impacts fertility and can cause birth defects. 

Cannabis can have very beneficial therapeutic and health enhancing properties.  

Two big advantages? No hangover and no calories (well maybe a few calories in a gummy or piece of chocolate). So zero to minimal calories. Alcohol is loaded with carbs and calories – loaded. If you drink a glass or two of wine every day, that’s 120-300 calories per day. Cutting this out could translate to 1-2 pounds per month – or 12-24 pounds in a year.

Choosing cannabis over alcohol can have you looking younger, slimmer, and more vibrant than you have in years!

What will a CBD bath bomb do for me?

1. Relaxation

Need help shaking feelings of stress and anxiety after a long, challenging day? Consider treating yourself to a warm bath with a CBD bath bomb. Our Endocannabinoid system is responsible for regulating several bodily mechanisms such as mood, pain-sensation, libido, appetite and even memory. Cannabinoids help to induce relaxation and relieve stress by interacting with the system to prompt action.

2. CBD + Epsom Salt Are A Dream Combination

Epsom salt has long been used in baths to help relax and soothe sore muscles thanks to the absorption of magnesium through the skin. It also has the ability to draw out harmful toxins from your body, help with mood, weight management, and overall health improvement- sounds a lot like what CBD can do as well, right? That’s why the combination of the two in CBD bath bombs is so powerful, because both ingredients work together to provide you with the same benefits.

3. Skin Care

With the combination of hot water and Epsom salt increasing blood flow and opening pores, toxins are able to flow out into the Epsom salt, allowing CBD and essential oils to flow into the skin. When absorbed, CBD oil can help nourish the skin, not only making it soft but giving it a youthful glow! CBD can also help with problematic skin by reducing redness and irritation in eczema, psoriasis and acne-prone skin.

4. Soothe Sore Muscles & Aching Joints

Whether you’re feeling sore post-workout, dealing with annoying menstrual cramps or even experiencing aching joints, settling into a relaxing bath with a CBD bath bomb can help to alleviate any discomfort you may be feeling. Not only does the heat from the water increase blood flow helping muscles to relax, but CBD is also known to help to reduce inflammation associated with pain by inhibiting an eicosanoid enzyme called COX2.

5. Aromatherapy

The humidity caused by the heat of your hot bath acts as a medium through which CBD and essential oils can enter into the body directly. This aids in aromatherapy which has been known to boost immunity, improve sleep quality, reduce stress, alleviate headaches & migraines and even fight bacteria or viruses. Common essential oils include: Eucalyptus (aids with breathing & immunity), Peppermint (nausea relief) and Lavender (relaxing & calming).

6. Mental Clarity

Besides helping you to feel relaxed, CBD can actually help you to think more clearly. Since CBD positively impacts the Endocannabinoid system responsible for regulating our mood & emotions, a CBD bath bomb could help to boost your serotonin levels and even interact with other neural systems, such as the hippocampus, which controls memory and emotion.

7. Soak Up Rapid Relief

Since the combination of hot water and Epsom salt helps to increase blood flow and pore opening, CBD is able to enter the bloodstream at a rapid pace. These benefits can potentially include: relief from discomfort, improved sleep, stress and anxiety relief, a boost in your mood as well as nausea relief.
