20 Super Blueberry Haze Automatic seeds for $0.01  (plus $19.97 priority tracked shipping worldwide)

Super Blueberry Haze Automatics

Super Blueberry Haze Automatic mother plant

This is a great variety that grows around 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall (1 meter), produces thick sweet smelling bud that gives a happy inspirational high when consumed.

It can be harvested 3 months after germination (although waiting up to 4 months is best in my experience).

Pasted below is the description of this variety on Seedsman canabis seed bank:

Super Blueberry Haze is an auto-flowering strain that was created to satisfy the demand for an uplifting auto sativa plant that also delivered a very full-on flavoursome experience.

Super Blueberry Haze Auto is a cross of the legendary Super Silver Haze together with Blueberry with the auto-flowering genetics courtesy of a Mexican Ruderalis.

The average height of this strain is a little bigger than many other of the Flash Seeds’ range at 80 – 130 cm. tall.

Yields between 40 – 90 gr per plant. The effects are fairly typical of sativa dominant plants giving a happy feeling providing the energy with which to be active and social.

I have been growing marijuana, dealing in marijuana seeds, and working with marijuana seed banks for over 20 years.

These days, marijuana seed banks are not just overcharging for their seeds they are doing a “Monsanto” on us.

It’s time to give them the boot to the rear end they deserve.

Let me explain:

The feminised marijuana seeds scam

Back around the turn of the century feminised seeds began to appear on the market.

This was a good way to turn 10 seeds into 10 female bud producing plants. That’s twice as many as if the seeds were normal and produced (on average) 5 males and 5 females, of which the 5 male plants would have to be eliminated to ensure strong sensimillia (no seeds) buds.

So if you just wanted to grow one crop and never grow again it seemed like a good investment.

Fair enough.

But the catch is that if you ever want to grow again you have to trot back to the seed bank and purchase more feminised seeds, and so on and so on and so on.

Now this is fine as long as there always a choice between feminised and regular seeds – but here’s what has been happening:

Regular (normal and healthy) seeds are getting squeezed out of the equation. Every year, seed banks eliminate regular seeds in favour of feminised marijuana seeds only for popular strains.

An example of this comes from Sensi Seeds, which use to be one of my favourite seed banks for robust strains and breeding.

I was checking out their selection of automatic strains the other day. It wasn’t clear whether they were regular of feminised so I asked them via email.

They replied that all their automatic strains are now feminised. You can no longer buy regular automatic seeds.

In other words, they want to be the sole supplier of their automatic strains. Every time you want to grow a crop you have to go back to them and hand over you cash for their seeds.

They are doing a “Monsanto” on us. Worse still, they are concealing it by not even making it clear that the seeds are feminised and cannot be bred.

This isn’t just a problem with Sensi Seeds. All marijuana seed banks have been going down this road.

It’s a mission creep.

Every year, regular marijuana seeds are being eliminated to be replaced by feminised marijuana seeds only.

Of course it’s in their interests to keep you as a returning customer, unable to grow your own seeds.

But it’s not in our interests.

I want to turn this boat around.

Other problems with feminised marijuana seeds

So how do you create a plant that produces only feminised seeds?

There are a number of ways, some using genetically transforming chemicals.

The common method is placing a female plant under severe stress so that it produces pollen sacks. This pollen, created by a stressed female plant, when used to fertilise another female plant will only produce seeds that grow female plants – hence feminised seeds.

It’s a perversion of nature. It’s not the best way to produce health seeds and plants as nature intended it.

I will never believe that a stressed out plant will produce as robust a strain and a naturally bred healthy plant as a regular normal cannabis plant.

The best way to a great strain is to get an awesome daddy plant co-mingling with a awesome mummy plant to create hundreds, if not thousands, of healthy marijuana seeds for the next crop.

By this method of selective breeding you get a much better result than continually buying feminised seeds produced by perverting nature. And it won’t cost you a penny!

The hundreds of “new” varieties with fancy names scam

There are 3 basic types of marijuana grown today: Sativa from the tropics, Indica from the cooler higher altitudes, and Ruderalis from the Russian steppes.

Ruderalis does not produce any psychoactive properties but it flowers throughout its vegetative growth regardless of light cycles. Its genetics are used to produce all automatic varieties.

Indica is a short and dark green plant with dense buds and produces “stoner weed” or “couch lock” and is the basis of all medicinal strains.

Sativa is a large and light green plant with less dense buds that produces a “happy high”.

All marijuana varieties in seed banks are a combination of one or more of these basic types, bred over and over, combined with other hybrids endlessly producing ever more “exotic” stains with ever more ridiculous names.

The genetics are getting so mixed up these days that when you plant, say, 10 seeds from a new strain from a seed bank, you will tend to get a wide variety of characteristics in different plants, as recessive genes from past breeding manifest during growth.

The only way to stabilise a new strain is to select the plants that produce the most desirable traits for breeding. Over a few generations the consistency of the strain improves. (But you can’t do this if you stuck with buying a new batch of feminised seeds for every crop.)

If you want a great crop that consistently produces the type of weed you want, (party, inspirational, medical, CBD, etc.) you have to have access to regular seeds and do selective breeding. Anything else and it’s a bit of a hit and miss.

And forget the fancy names. Anyone can take a two strains of specific qualities and reputations, breed them, and produce a new strains branded with some enticing name. It’s not rocket science It’s chicanery.

So why I’m offering free marijuana seeds

As someone who has been in the marijuana seed and growing business for many years I’m sick of the way things are going. I’m sick of the ridiculous prices charged for some seed strains. (It costs virtually nothing to create thousands of seeds naturally.)

Charging stupid prices for “specialised” strains is also a scam. It costs no more to produce seeds for one variety than another. And when these “special” strains are only available a feminised seeds you are being double scammed!

We need change. To get this ball rolling I’m first going to be offering free cannabis seeds. I’m not a wealth philanthropist who can throw money into a good cause so I will be asking you to cover the shipping and handling costs. But the seeds are free.

Super Blueberry Haze Automatic mother plant with seeds

I currently have bred and stockpiled Super Blueberry Haze Automatics seeds.

This is a great variety that grows around 2 1/2 feet tall (say, a little under a meter), produces thick sweet smelling bud that gives a happy inspirational high when consumed.

It can be harvested 3 months after germination (although waiting up to 4 months is best in my experience).

The original stock comes from Flash Seeds but this batch is a better version in my opinion because I only bred the most robust plants and weed out the deviants.

In the coming months I will have different seed varieties to offer. Medicinal and CBD stains are in the works. They will all be free. Just pay for my shipping costs. Deal done.

These seeds will move pretty fast. Free is a hard price to beat. If you want to get first dibs on these free marijuana seeds, enter your email in the field below and you’ll get first notification when I’m ready to ship. Also you can let me know what kind of varieties you are particularly interested in. If a lot of you say you want a strain good for stress reduction, (for example), I’ll get to work on producing those seeds.

Working towards a free marijuana seeds exchange

My longer term plan to counter these scams is to facilitate an online service where growers can exchange seeds among each other for free or nominal cost. We can all become our own seed banks producing amazing strains for each other through growing and exchanging.

When enough of us are in the loop and producing our own great varieties, we can set up a free seed exchange where we can swap seeds among each other. And yes, exchanging seeds is perfectly legal as far as I’m aware.

So sign-up below, not just to get free seeds now, but to become part of the worldwide free marijuana seed revolution!

Therapeutic oil, soothing scents, relaxing massage, and some tranquil music- mere visualisation of a calming spa experience can transport you into a different world and lift your spirits. While at-home massages are now making a way into lives, CBD (also known as cannabidiol) oil popularity has witnessed an explosion across the wellness and cosmetic sector over the past couple of years. Approximately 7% of Americans are already using CBD, and by 2025, the figure is expected to grow to 10%. CBD has one of the fastest-growing markets globally and is already generating nearly $2 billion in sales.

What is CBD oil?

CBD extract is sourced from the Hemp plant. The spa industry uses CBD in diluted form after high impact compounds of cannabis get removed from the plant. CBD oil consists of two main ingredients: compound cannabis and a carrier oil, such as coconut or hemp seeds oil. The customer benefits from the antioxidant properties of CBD after the THC traces are removed.

Is CBD Legal?

CBD has been legalised in some cities of the United States and is still deemed illegal in others. CBD extracted from hemp is considered legal after the passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act in December 2018. On the other hand, CBD extraction from cannabis is considered illegal at the federal level. However, different states have different laws regarding its use.

How CBD Integrates Into the Spa Industry?

CBD offers a myriad of potential health benefits, making it a perfect fit for the spa services sector. Lazarus Natural CBD is proven to reduce anxiety and panic. It contains analgesic properties and can also treat acne. Here are five ways how CBD integrates into the spa industry.

Natural Remedy

Clients opting for the spa are more interested in experiencing organic and natural therapies for rejuvenation. The stigmas over CBD are now being lifted, and as a result, people are getting a better understanding of the health benefits of CBD oil. Therefore, CBD Canada is gradually becoming the magic ingredient for the spa industry as clients have learned that it comes from the hemp plant, is non-psychoactive, and is 100% natural.

Reduces Anxiety & Pain

CBD contains analgesic, anti-depressing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it a valuable asset for aromatherapy. Over the past few years, CBD oil has shown promising results regarding treatment for anxiety, panic, and depression. CBD attracts those who believe in natural spa therapy to reduce stress.

What does one primarily look for in a fulfilling spa experience? – the feeling of contentment, happiness, relaxation, and the results, of course! CBD foot cream for instance is well suited for foot spa services since it can balance proliferation among cells and regulate sebum production, which improves blood circulation, and skin texture and induces relaxation among clients.

Deep-healing Properties

Various arguments in favor of CBD indicate that the plant-extracted compound contains neuroprotective and deep-healing properties. In fact, it has also been used to safely treat insomnia and incidents of anxiety among users who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. CBD oil also contains properties which can reduce muscle aches and joint pain, therefore, making spa a multi-benefiting experience for many.

Due to Relaxing effects, CBD Products Are Gaining Popularity & Credibility

While it may or may not come as a surprise to many, there was a time in 2019 when CBD products were more popular than Kim Kardashian and Beyonce online in parts of America. In fact, CBD is gaining popularity with every passing day as stigmas around its production are getting lifted. Customers are now trusting the product more with big celebrity names like the Kardashians vouching for its credibility. The CBD extracted products, even in the spa industry offer treatment and consequential satisfaction to customers. Clients across the American continent love the benefits of the CBD-infused products which they use. Client reviews suggest that the customers feel happy, calm, and less anxious after using CBD oils and serums. Various customers have also reported an improved sleep cycle and sleeping pattern after a relaxing CBD oil massage.

Improving Skin Health

CBD oil produced from hemp provides miniaturisation to the skin, making it smooth and supple. According to research, CBD can prevent the secretion of excessive sebum from the sebaceous gland cells. This particular anti-inflammatory action restricts the activation of cytokines (acne-causing inflammatory agents). It can also improve skin texture, which makes it a magic ingredient for spa massages. CBD oil is specifically beneficial for people with dry skin and conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and inflammation. It has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin pigmentation by removing redness. CBD facials are hence gaining immense popularity in the spa industry as they not only soothe skin but also improve blood circulation, making the skin brighter and glowing.

It wouldn’t be wrong to state that CBD services are gradually sweeping the world with their credibility and popularity. CBD has great expectations to live up to with celebrities like Kim Kardashian vouching for CBD benefits to help with sleep and stress. It should be noted that all the praise and popularity the CBD is gathering is not a happy coincidence but result-driven. If you are a spa business owner and are contemplating on ways to expand and attract more customers in the post coronavirus world, we’d suggest you add CBD oil treatment and spa to your list of available services. Or, if you’re a customer who is itching to inch back towards normalcy and experience relaxation in place of paranoia, what better way to do so than by booking a CBD spa appointment?

What does being high feel like? Probably everyone has asked this question at one point in their lifetime.

It might be something you wonder on your own, or you asked your friends who are braver about trying something new. If you got mixed feedback, then you might be wondering if you have the confidence to try it too.

The way to have an easy time trying cannabis for the first time, is learning everything that you should expect beforehand.

Also, there are many varieties of marijuana and its products. You might get confused about which ones you think will work best for you when you look at cannabis oil.

Here are some tips and guidelines which can make your first try more productive.

1. Choose your stuff the smart way

A great place to start with cannabis is rolled joints. However, if you want to have a better experience, think carefully about taking baby steps. Start with the varieties whose effect is a little mild and work your way towards those whose effect hits harder.

Remember that methods such as heavy bong rips and dabs have quite a massive effect, and it would be best to avoid them altogether when you are starting the journey. The beauty of using weed, even as a beginner, is that you learn the ropes pretty fast.

Point to note though, if you are trying weed for the first time, and someone suggests that you start with the gravity bong, not a good idea.

In this method, you will use a network of tubes to push heavily concentrated marijuana smoke into your lungs. Due to the concentration of marijuana, you might end up with unwanted effects such as paranoia and physical discomfort.

Then, make sure you are properly prepared for the first session. Have food delivered before you start the session because you do now want to try and drive under the influence because the munchies got you after having a smoke.

2. Do not smoke with people you don’t trust

This is a rule which applies with pretty much everything in life. You should never have your first or any smoking session with people who seem sketchy to you. When you decide it is time to smoke your first bong, source it from your close and trusted friends.

Secondly, remember that if you did not see the joint being rolled, you have no idea what is in it. Ideally, have a group of friends bring it over in its unrolled state, and this will assure you that what you are smoking is pure cannabis.

In case you and your friends are not able to source unrolled cannabis, or you do not know how to roll it, ask for the joints from a trusted supplier.

Also, if you hit the joint, and something feels unusual about it, especially when you compare with the marijuana effects you were taught about, ask about the quality and contents before inhaling any more of the smoke.

3. Do not expect to get really high at first

Most people smoke weed for their first time, expecting that they will get excessively high and have an epic experience with it. However, many are the times when the results are meh, and they are left wondering whether it was the weed that was not potent enough.

However, the truth is that a lot of people do not get high the first time they smoke weed. This is because when you’re still new, even your smoking technique is not polished, so you do not fully inhale the smoke.

Also, the human body can fight the effects. Sometimes, when you smoke or ingest a new chemical, your body will shrug it off and pass it out of the system in the most appropriate way, as opposed to breaking it down. This is an evolutionary mechanism that the body developed to avoid poisoning.

However, when you try marijuana more than once, your body and mind will slowly start responding to it. Your body’s cannabinoid receptors, the CB1 and CB2 receptors will also start responding better to the compounds in the marijuana you smoke, and that is when the euphoria and the high feeling will start manifesting.

4. Hydration is important

Before trying weed, there are certain basic realities you ought to know about it. First, the body produces its own cannabidiol. The cannabinoid receptors below the tongue are usually the first to bind to cannabidiol.

When this happens, the sublingual glands lose their ability to produce saliva. You, therefore end up with cottonmouth, lack of saliva in the mouth, which leads to the feeling of excessive thirst.

The best way to deal with this possible consequence of taking cannabis is hydrating well before smoking a joint. Also, try to avoid all other mouth-drying substances when you are planning your first weed experience.

Alcohol also dehydrates the body, leading to excessive thirst, which is why it does not mix with cannabis. Tea and some types of fruit juice also have a similar mouth-drying effect, which is why you should avoid them altogether.

5. Get to know your limits

Another problem people usually encounter when smoking for the first time is not knowing what their own bodies can handle. The moment you get marijuana into your body, here is what it does:

• It alters your senses
• It distorts your sense of time
• It improves your mood and you will get into high spirits
• It affects your body movements
• It impairs your memory

Most of these effects are because of Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. If you are not sure you can handle high levels of THC, ask about the weed varieties which have less THC levels.

On the other hand, marijuana also contains cannabidiol, which is one of the most beneficial cannabinoids in the plant. Additionally, you will get flavonoids and some of the plant terpenes found in marijuana.

These two groups of compounds will have the following effects on your body:
i. Pain relief
ii. Reduced inflammation
iii. Better sleep
iv. Improved digestion
v. Reduced stress and anxiety

Your role is to weigh the pros and cons of smoking marijuana and deciding whether you are ready. Remember that when you have the ideal cannabis grade and variety for you, it becomes easy to have a fun time with the herb, and also gain health benefits from it.

Wrapping it up

Planning to smoke marijuana for the first time can be both exhilarating and challenging. You, therefore, need to learn everything possible about the experience, where to get reliable products and how to buy them. Moreover, marijuana seeds from Amsterdam that you can grow at the comfort of your home. So, those who want high quality products, can grow their own strain.

Finally, remember that there are legal implications of using marijuana. Some states still have very stiff penalties for being in possession of marijuana. Ensure that your state allows marijuana, CBD products, and edibles before you buy or use them.

We have been using cannabis for medicinal purposes for at least 2500 years. Of course we have become a lot more sophisticated in that time. Different types of cannabis treat different kinds of ailments. The best strain for you depends on the nature of your problem.

While all cannabis strains can help with pain, some do a particularly good job. Read on as we look at the five best cannabis strains for chronic pain.

Definition of Chronic Pain

Not all pain is chronic pain.

Chronic pain is a condition in which you are in pain most days over a six-month period. High-impact chronic pain is a worse version in which the pain affects your ability to carry out normal daily activities.

How Cannabis Treats Pain

To find the best strain for your chronic pain, it’s important to know the ways in which cannabis treats pain.

This study gives a broad outline of cannabis’ efficacy in pain treatment. It explains how the endocannabinoid system manages of pain.

The endocannabinoid system is the network of brain receptors that cannabis acts upon.

Cannabis influences this system in such a way that it decreases inflammation throughout the body. Doctors use it as an anti-inflammatory which is also the function of medicines like Ibuprofen.

Many pain-related issues, most notably arthritis, derive from too much inflammation in the body.

Therefore, when choosing a cannabis strain to treat chronic pain, you should prioritize those strains that have the most pronounced anti-inflammatory effects. CBD and THC both have anti-inflammatory properties, so a larger percentage of one or the other will not necessarily predict better management of inflammation.

The endocannabinoid system also deals with damage to your nervous system. Damage like this  can cause chronic pain, which cannabis can provide relief.

The best pain-relief strains may be so effective due to having a favorable “entourage effect.” This term describes the impact and effects of different combinations of cannabinoids in users.

As this study outlines, more research into lesser-known cannabinoids is required before we can fully understand the entourage effect. However, most cannabis experts now agree that it is an important factor in strain selection.

Five Effective Cannabis Strains for Chronic Pain

If you’re in Canada, you should have no trouble finding any of these five strains on our online store. You can always freely search cannabis online Canada or better yet, simply choose one or two of the five strains we’ve listed here, then place your order.

There are hundreds of cannabis strains that can treat pain. However, the five we’ve picked all have exceptional pain management profiles.

While these are some of our favorites, you should always experiment with a few different strains before settling on one. Strains don’t always affect every user the same way so you should try different options to determine what works best.

Harlequin

The first entry on our list has a healthy balance between THC and CBD. This means that its psychoactive effects are much milder than other options here, which makes it perfect for you if you’re a less-experienced cannabis user or if you just don’t wish to get too high.
Harlequin is also rich in caryophyllene, a terpene that attaches to CB2 receptors in a way that reduces inflammation and lessens anxiety.

Master Kush

Master Kush is an indica-dominant strain. Like many traditional indicas, it has a numbing effect on the body, making it an ideal choice for sufferers of arthritis or musculoskeletal issues.

Descended from Afghanistan’s early mountain landraces, Master Kush carries traditional indica genetics. While it is renowned for its calming effects, it can also sharpen awareness and fuel creativity. This makes it a good all-round medicinal strain.

Critical Mass

Critical Mass is another indica. Like Master Kush, it has strong numbing and calming effects, which give it its pain management qualities.

This strain has a very high THC/CBD ratio. Along with medical benefits, it packs a powerful psychoactive punch.

Critical Mass is also noted for its effectiveness in treating insomnia. If your chronic pain is getting between you and a good night’s sleep, this might be the strain for you.

Blue Dream

Blue Dream is another strain with a high THC/CBD ratio, which means that you can expect a pretty strong effect when you smoke or vape it. However, it also aids focus and creativity, making it more than just a pain reliever.

A sativa-dominant descendant of Blueberry and Haze, Blue Dream has also attracted praise for its pleasant blueberry flavor.

White Widow

Named for its distinctive coating of white crystals, White Widow is another strain that will work wonders for various types of pain. Another option with dominant indica genetics, it has a distinctly calming effect.

Unusually for cannabis strains, White Widow is noted for having little smell or taste. If you want to keep the odor to a minimum when you light up, this is the strain to consider.

Will cannabis be the pain management of the future?

Experts now agree that cannabis is one of the best all-around chronic pain management options. It is affordable, all-natural, and enjoyable!

It also poses far fewer risks than traditional pain management medicines. Neither organ damage nor physical dependence is a risk with cannabis consumption.

Live Healthier with Cannabis

by Leanne Brooks

People are starting to lean towards a healthy lifestyle right now, especially with the ongoing pandemic that threatens people with comorbidities. But despite the threat of coronavirus, maintaining a healthy lifestyle does offer a lot of benefits – externally and physically.

You have several options on how you can mold your body into a fit and properly-nourished one. There are a couple of workout routines online. However, this route can sometimes be demotivating for people who aren’t used to a healthy routine. One way to encourage yourself to workout and help your body be in its best shape is cannabis. Read on to learn nine ways to live a healthier lifestyle with cannabis.

1. Regulates endocannabinoids

The first way you can live a healthier lifestyle is how cannabis can balance your endocannabinoid system. The relationship between cannabis and the body’s inherent endocannabinoid system is how cannabis’ cannabinoids can work with the body’s receptors to help modulate the different levels in the body. By regulating these levels, it can impact our behavior, immune system, gut, mood, appetite, and more.

Two of the most common cannabinoids are THC and CBD. While the former is the one responsible for making cannabis advocates high, the latter does none of that. In fact, many patrons purchase cbd canada-manufactured oil for medical marijuana. Having additional cannabinoids in the body may hasten how the endocannabinoid system works.

2. Relieves pain

When one is experiencing chronic pain, this can hinder you from doing the things you love such as sports, workouts, or work. Although there are pain relief medications, cannabis may help in relieving chronic pain.

In fact, there is anecdotal evidence that CBD could possibly help in managing chronic pain in many cases. Due to CBD’s lack of psychoanalytic effects, it can bring more benefits than adverse effects.

When one is free from pain, this can lead to doing more things you love. Therefore, keeping yourself busy and happy most of the time.

3. Lessens anxiety attacks

Due to the power of cannabis and the endocannabinoid system, it may help in assuaging the onset of anxiety. There are various hormones in the body that are responsible for influencing behavior. Some of which is testosterone, which is a popular type of androgen. Another one is estradiol, which is also a type of estrogen. And the other two common ones are progesterone and cortisol.

These hormones are responsible for keeping men’s and women’s moods balanced. That said, when taking cannabis, it may impact the levels of these hormones, possibly preventing the onset of bad thoughts which sometimes lead to anxiety.

4. May prevent depression

Another evident benefit of cannabis that helps people lead a healthier lifestyle is by preventing depressant thoughts and actions. Many people are facing different battles. It could be a loss of a loved one, termination from jobs, family feuds, and many other unfortunate events.

While some people can handle these, others can’t. This can lead to depression, especially if you don’t consult professional help. There are neurotransmitters in the brain that are responsible for our feelings of pleasure and happiness. These are called dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.

These neurotransmitters could be imbalanced in depressed people, allowing their thoughts to free flow into negativity. And because cannabis works with neurotransmitters in the body, it may help in preventing the imbalance of these neurotransmitters. In turn, this could brighten up your mood, making you feel happier.

5. Lowers stress levels

Cortisol is famously called the “stress hormones.” When you have high levels of cortisol in your body, this will dampen your mood and make you feel stressed out.

In addition, when you have high levels of cortisol, it can increase your blood pressure and heart rate as well. Plus, the more you stress out about unfortunate things in your life, the more your adrenal glands release cortisol. Cannabis may modulate these levels, preventing your body from feeling the stressors in your daily life.

6. Inspires you to spend time with nature

Whether you stay at the beach or mountains, spending time in nature can undeniably make you feel better inside and out. Cannabis may inspire you to do that because it opens up your mind and senses, allowing you to soak in the beauty of nature.

7. Motivates you to exercise

There are two common cannabis strains called Sativa and Indica. Sativa strains have a more energizing impact. On the other hand, Indica strains encourage a more relaxing effect. Gym buffs typically take Sativa strains before working out because it motivates them more.

8. Helps with sleeping disorders

While Sativa strains are perfect as an aide for your gym sessions, Indica, however, can help with the recovery after workouts. This can help your body’s muscles regain its vigor. Moreover, Indica strains also induce sleep.

After workouts, having at least seven hours of sleep is recommended to regain strength. Plus, enough sleep can also improve your overall mood and behavior, allowing you to live a happier lifestyle.

9. Discourages alcohol binging

When one takes cannabis, it may discourage you from drinking too much alcohol. That said, it can be easy to make cannabis your partner when you’re planning to steer clear of alcohol and other gateway drugs.

A study was conducted that proved the success rates of marijuana being a treatment for alcoholism. The results showed that 40 percent of the participants replaced alcohol with cannabis.

There is no shortcut when it comes to the skin health. The internet is full of methods that you can use to make your skin glow, including hydration, applying face-masks, and eating healthy, among others.

However, some of these suggestions never work or take too long to work. Marijuana is having a major moment in the beauty sector, thanks to its widespread use in wellness and medical industries. With the increased tendency for organic beauty products, cannabis has become one of the most sought after herbs. Application of the products on your skin is easy as it comes in the form of such as lotions, salves, creams, balms, and oils.

Cannabis for Glowing Skin

You are probably already aware that inflammation is a primary cause of skin issues. Weed contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and it can help to reduce soreness, swelling, and puffiness. It contains many properties, and this gives it an upper hand in tackling many skin conditions. Here is a rundown of some of its benefits:

CBD and cannabis treats acne

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the dead skin or oil blocks your hair follicles. As a result, you end up with pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads on your upper back, chest, face, and shoulders. This condition affects people of all ages, and it can make you uncomfortable in your skin. Cannabis is effective in managing skin disorders like acne.

This shows that marijuana has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and lipostatic effects. As such, it can stop the cells that produce oil for sebaceous glands. This, in turn, prevents excess oil from being blocked which causes acne, enabling you to enjoy glowing skin.

Marijuana Manages Skin Ageing

Ageing is something that we all go through, but that doesn’t mean that you have to put up with dull skin. Skin ageing involves features such as a rough-texture, laxity, loss of elasticity, and wrinkling. Marijuana is an excellent anti-aging alternative.

CBD in weed can minimize wrinkles and aging. It contains a powerful antioxidant that helps to reverse the process of skin ageing by reducing the production of free radicals. Free radicals typically cause collages in the skin to break down faster. As such, cannabis reduces this breakdown, which in turn keeps your skin strong, firm, and glowing. Besides, dry skin produces wrinkles, and cannabis can help.

Endocannabinoids in the body also participate in oil production, and since cannabis contains cannabinoids that imitate the functioning of the endocannabinoid system, it can help to manage dry skin and prevent ageing.

Cannabis is the buzzword today, and almost everywhere we look, we discover an exciting fact about the plant.

The medicinal benefits of cannabis, along with the economic and social benefits legalisation, has encouraged many states to decriminalise the plant.

Some states have also taken the step to legalise the plant and drafted laws that dictate cannabis cultivation and sale.

The peaking interest towards this plant directly reflects on the tremendous market boom visible in various regions.

New brands are launching in the arena, and many industries are looking for ways to infuse cannabis into their product ranges to offer users cannabis in various forms.

Apart from dispensaries, where the sale of cannabis products happens today, the products will come to stores, supermarkets following federal legalisation.

The market opportunity for cannabis is escalating at unexpected rates, which means the scope for exploring cannabis cultivation could never be more beneficial than at the moment.

The first steps to cannabis cultivation

The emergence of technology has changed the landscape of agriculture in the past few years. Cannabis is no exception to this trend.

Initial cannabis cultivation entirely depended on natural seeds that produced female and male plants in varying ratios.

Also, these seeds require controlled photo-period exposure for maturity and harvest.

One should start with the basics of when to harvest cannabis. By knowing this, it would be beneficial to apply certain strategies to get the most from their harvest.

Technology helped create feminised seeds that eliminate the male counterparts of the harvest and produce a 100% female harvest.

It ensures the total yield is usable, as male plants are not useful for consumption.

The next variety that emerged is the auto-flowering seeds that almost eliminate the need for any suitable conditions for growth.

The yield is 100% female, and the maturity period is defined, meaning it requires no control over the photo-period. These seeds give multiple yields in a year and make the plant suitable for harvest in almost every region.

The Nuances of Cannabis Nutrients

Although technology managed to take away the need to control the light period for cannabis maturity, the quality of cannabis yield largely depends on the health of the medium and water.

There are various types of cannabis farming currently happening across the world. In outdoor farming set up, the soil is the medium, and it plays a vital role in connecting the necessary nutrients to the plant, for proper growth and health.

With hydroponic setups, the different mediums and solutions used take-up this responsibility.

In all these cases, a critical point to pay heed to is the type of nutrients to supply to the plant.

Knowledge about which nutrients are necessary for the cannabis plant and how they influence the health and yield can help you choose the right supplements for your farm.

Here are the essential nutrients list for growing the best budget buds:

The nutrient base – NPK

N – Nitrogen

Nitrogen is the primary nutrient responsible for the growth and development of a plant. It is a constituent of chlorophyll component in the plant that helps turn sunlight into energy for growth. It plays a vital role during the vegetative stage of a plant’s life. Nitrogen also forms the building block of the plant, which is the protein, and other essential components such as nucleic acid, DNA, and RNA. In the absence or deficiency of nitrogen, the plant will not be capable of multiplying its cells for growth and development.

K – Potassium

Potassium holds the responsibility of controlling and regulating the various systems in the plant that help in growth. This nutrient controls the opening and closing of stomata that regulates the exchange of oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide. It has a critical role in regulation and energy storage within the plant after photosynthesis in the form of glucose. If insufficient, the plant will die or dry out soon as it cannot control the exchange of gases with the atmosphere.

P- Phosphorous

It is an essential nutrient for the cannabis plant that determines the quality of buds you yield from the harvest. Phosphorous is responsible for producing healthy buds in the plant. It controls the resin formation and plays a vital role during the photosynthesis process. This nutrient needs to be available in the right quantity, especially before the flowering stage of the plant or both growth and maturity will be significantly affected.

Secondary nutrients

When you look for fertilizers, they often only mention the ratio of the primary components, which is NPK. The ratio determines the percentage of each nutrient in the same order, and this helps us evaluate the level of nutrients we are passing to the plant. But remember, most of these fertilisers also include a profile of other nutrients that play individual roles in ensuring the overall health of the plant.

Mg – Magnesium

This nutrient acts as the central molecule within the chlorophyll that is necessary for the formation of glucose. In the absence of magnesium, the plant loses the ability to synthesise glucose during photosynthesis. The leaves of your plant will start turning yellow, and the yield may not be of value to the user.

S – Sulphur

Sulphur helps in the production of vitamins and hormones within the plant. It is critical in the production of terpenoids that are responsible for the characteristics of the cannabis plant like aroma and flavor. The nutrient is essential to store and process energy for the plant in the absence of which the leaves will start to turn yellow.

Ca – Calcium

Calcium forms the basic structure of the cell walls in the plant. Hence the nutrient plays a vital role in the healthy formation of leaves, buds, and other parts of the plant. Calcium deficiency leads to the formation of weak leaves with curl, and stunted growth that will also influence your yield.

Zn- Zinc

Although required in small quantities, zinc regulates the production of chlorophyll in the plant, which has a major role in energy conversion. It is a plant growth regulator, the absence of which can cause withered growing tips and less budding sites in your plant.

Fe- Iron

Iron is the nutrient that helps the plant withstand environmental factors such as heat, stress, pests, drought, disease, and other such parameters. Hydroponic formulas use ample of this nutrient to develop resistance to these factors. Iron also helps catalyse the metabolic activities within the plant to enable good growth and yield.

Apart from these important nutrients, your cannabis plant will also need traces of Nickel, Manganese, Copper, Boron, Chlorine, and Molybdenum for proper growth.

Pay attention to the pH

Nutrient deficiencies often occur due to the extreme pH value of the water. Test your water to ensure the pH level lies between 6.0 and 7.0 for optimum growth and yield.

In the case of hydroponic farms, the range needs to between 5.5 to 6.5. Inadequate or excess pH levels lead to a deficiency in the absorption of nutrients by the plant, which will affect its health.

Before adding these nutrients to your plants, manage the pH to achieve the best benefits out of these nutrient supplements.

Sales revenue vary from state to state, with Washington leading in its sale. The high profits from medical marijuana sales attract the government to impose taxes on the income of cannabis businesses.

The revenue from these businesses is a booster for education, mental health care, and other state projects.

Suicide rates are lower in legal marijuana states

A study reveals that states that allow the use of medical marijuana has reduced suicide rates than in states that do not allow the use of medical marijuana.

As per the study, there is a 10% reduction in suicide cases because of the legalisation of medical marijuana.

The findings of this study go hand in hand with the theory that medical marijuana can treat depression and other stress-related conditions. Thus, people will not opt to take their lives even when facing a difficult situation.

In addition to lowering suicide rates, many types of marijuana can enhance ones enjoyment of life. This holds for a wide variety of activities including sexual activity. There is even a list of the best marijuana for sex.
