When cannabis comes the mind, the thought of induc When cannabis comes the mind, the thought of induced cravings (AKA the munchies) follows. While this effect is linked to the THC cannabinoid, CBD may help when trying to achieve your weight goals. Our ability to burn fat is affected by a variety of factors. As we know, weight loss requires a healthy balance between the digestive, immune, and nervous system - and our endocannabinoid system is the bridge between them all. While anecdotal evidence supports the concept of CBD and appetite suppression, no human trials on this subject have been explored, however this is what we do know. As mentioned, THC activates the CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the body, causing a range of effects, including increased appetite. However, in a 2018 study by the University of Campania, they discovered CB1 receptor antagonists may help reduce appetite and control weight gain as they may block off the receptor. While CBD doesn’t deactivate CB1 receptors directly, it may act on other molecules prompting to block them off, therefore helping curb the appetite and prevent overeating for some. In addition, an animal study published in 2012 revealed that CBD administration to rats reduced their appetite. 📸 via @canndescent #cannabis
Is Cannabis in the workplace acceptable? For Austr Is Cannabis in the workplace acceptable? For Australians, this can be a tricky question to navigate, especially if your workplace enforces regular or random drug screenings. Here’s what we know. While at work, all workers must take reasonable care for their own and others health and safety. In some occupations and workplaces, such as armed forces, aviation or any role that includes the use of operating machinery, it is more than likely you will not be permitted to use prescribed medicinal cannabis and continue in your usual role. For others, if the use of medicinal cannabis doesn’t affect your daily role, there may be room for discussion with your employer. In addition, your prescribed cannabis product may produce varying effects hence the importance of speaking with your GP or cannabis consultant openly about your working responsibilities and workplace regulations before embarking on your journey. For example, the use of a THC-dominate product may not be the right cannabinoid for your working environment which may open up a discussion for a CBD-based medicine. In short, it is important to consult with your doctor before the use of any cannabis based products as your doctor’s aim is to work with you to find the right product for your daily environment. Furthermore, as black market products become more accessible to Australian consumers, it is crucial that you understand what your product contains as it may impair your ability to drive or work. 📸 via @alanahunta #cannabis
When we stepped into this industry many moons ago, When we stepped into this industry many moons ago, this was our first discovery. The complexities around cannabis are the main driver in the judgement that still exists in today’s world. Needless to say, the more we’ve learnt about modern cannabis, the more intrigued we’ve become. Over to you - How has your opinion of Cannabis evolved (and possibly changed) as you’ve become more educated? #cannabis
Let’s be honest, the beauty industry isn’t as Let’s be honest, the beauty industry isn’t as clean as it appears. In the wake of the ever-growing CBD beauty industry, the various amounts of unregistered infused skincare products hitting Australian shores are capturing many consumer’s eyes. With this being said, consumers need to be investigating, more than ever, the quality of cannabis used within their skincare products to protect themselves from predatory marketing claims and the unknowns. Furthermore, the research available to us shows CBD may help consumers with inflammation issues such as rosacea, acne and dermatitis however it is unclear as to how much active CBD your skin needs and how certain skin types may react, due to a lack of clinical evidence in the skincare industry. For example, if a brand claims to have full-spectrum hemp oil within their products, this not only includes an array of cannabinoids but terpenes as well. These natural plant fragrances and oils may possibly be irritating for those who have extra sensitive skin. In short, transparency from your go-to skincare brand is key, especially when it is using an unregulated cannabis ingredient. If a brand is making claims, ask them what testing they have done to prove this. If the product includes cannabis, ask for their COA and a breakdown of all active cannabinoids & percentages within the product. Knowledge is key and right now it’s up to us to go digging for it #cbdeducation
