The New Year is Here! Many see the new year as a fresh start and a time to try something new. Some may be starting their workout journey or traveling more. In recent years, one resolution has garnered much attention. That resolution is the use of cannabinoids. Cannabinoids, derived from the hemp plant, are typically used for relaxation and potential stress relief. Today, Leafy8 will be highlighting what cannabinoids are and how they can elevate you in this new year.
What are Cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds. While found in other sources, they are commonly found in the cannabis and hemp plants. The main two types of cannabinoids we will cover are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). While THC is known for its psychoactive effects, CBD is non-psychoactive and has gained popularity for its potential therapeutic properties. With over 100 different cannabinoids in the plants, they vary in concentration and potency.
Each cannabinoid has unique properties and effects on the endocannabinoid system in our bodies. When using any cannabinoid, take personal factors into account, as cannabinoids can affect everyone differently. We recommend talking to a physician before incorporating any cannabinoid into your daily routine.
Choosing Cannabinoids
Leafy8 carries four different cannabinoids. These cannabinoids are Delta-8, Delta-9, and CBD, each with its properties and effects.
Delta-8
Delta-8 is a psychoactive cannabinoid that can produce a pleasant, uplifting experience that leans more toward relaxation than stimulation. It has a lesser potency than Delta-9 and has been reported to produce less paranoia and anxiety when consumed.
Delta-9
Delta-9 is a psychoactive cannabinoid that can produce an uplifting, joyful experience. It is the highest potency cannabinoid we carry. Because it is so potent, it can be more abrasive. This compound can be intense at times, so those prone to anxiety or paranoia should be cautious when taking Delta-9.
CBD
CBD is the most commonly known cannabinoid. While it has no psychoactive effects, many use it for its potential relief from pain.* This cannabinoid works primarily with the endocannabinoid system in the body.
Elevating your Everyday
- RelaxationCannabinoids can help unwind after a long day. With several convenient methods, such as edibles, vapes, and pre-rolls, there are various options for different preferences.
- Infused RecipesFor those who enjoy baking, cooking with hemp can be a fun way to spice up a favorite recipe. It may sound like rocket science, but making cannabutter or canna oil is quick and easy.
- Sleep BetterMany users report using cannabinoids for sleep. While there is not much research into this topic, THC can potentially help your body relax and fall asleep easier.
Tips for Incorporating Cannabinoids
If you plan on incorporating cannabinoids into your daily life, there are some things to know.
A place to start is by researching each cannabinoid and seeing which one best aligns with your preferences and needs. Once you have a cannabinoid, talk to your physician to make sure that the cannabinoid is right for you. Then, start slow. Starting with smaller doses ensures that the cannabinoids will not overwhelm you and cause a bad experience.
In Short
This new year is a chance to incorporate a new step into your daily routine. Give cannabinoids a chance this year and elevate yourself to new levels. Cannabinoids can be a new and exciting way to spice up your day and give you potential relief. Leafy8’s cannabinoids can be used in relaxation, hemp-based cooking, and potential sleep aids.
