Time For a Tolerance Break?
If you’ve been using cannabis for a long time, you will know that after a while of regular use, your body becomes tolerant to the effects of THC. No matter how much you consume, you just can’t seem to reach that same level of euphoria and relief you did at the beginning. Thankfully, a tolerance break can help to reset your system. By abstaining from cannabis for a while, your endocannabinoid system has the opportunity to rest and regain its original sensitivity to THC.
How Tea Can Protect Against the Side Effects of THC
A recent study published in the Journal of Neuroscience showed that L-theanine, an amino acid found in green and black tea (Camellia sinensis), can protect against the long-term side effects of THC.

Talking to Your Kids About Weed
As a parent, one of your most important responsibilities is to educate and guide your kids as they go through life. This includes having conversations about difficult topics such as cannabis.

When it comes to customizing your cannabis experience, most people focus on strain selection and THC concentration.

By understanding the boiling points of different cannabinoids and terpenes, you can fine-tune your vaporizer’s temperature settings and craft a unique experience that is tailored to your needs.
Gluefast
Shakespeare once said, “nothing is as common as the wish to be remarkable”. And while I can carry on waxing lyrical about the myriad of Shakespearean quotes that can apply to one’s daily life or the situations we find ourselves in, this is not the goal of this review – although, I can firmly say that Gluefast will have you waxing lyrical at some point.
Cannabis for Cancer
Cancer is a broad term used to describe a range of related diseases in which abnormal cells grow uncontrollably. It can develop in any part of the body and can easily spread to other organs, which makes it very difficult to treat. Chemotherapy, the primary choice for cancer therapy, does not work for everyone and is associated with many debilitating side effects, including nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, insomnia and anxiety, which can severely impact a person’s quality of life (Cherkasova 2022). In today’s article, we will take a closer look at how cannabis can help those with cancer.
