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 wellness 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 mental unease and paranoia when consumed.
Delta-9
Delta-9 is a psychoactive cannabinoid that can produce an uplifting, joyful experience. It is the highest potency of the psychoactive cannabinoids Leafy8 carries. Being high potency, it is recommended for experienced users.
CBD
CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the “high” effect like Delta-8 or Delta-9. Instead, CBD promotes a sense of everyday calm and is commonly used to support a balanced lifestyle. Many use it as a nighttime comfort support for promoting better rest.
Incorporating Cannabinoids Into Your New Year Routine
Incorporating cannabinoids into your new year routine is a simple process. After consulting with your physician and determining the right cannabinoid for you, it is as simple as finding your preferred delivery method. Leafy8 offers a wide range of delivery methods including gummies, tinctures, and vape cartridges. After your physician’s approval and finding your preferred delivery method, start with a low dose. This allows you to understand how a cannabinoid affects you without taking too much. From there, it is as simple as making it a part of your daily routine for the new year.
Starting the new year with cannabinoids is a positive step toward supporting your everyday wellness. Whether your goal is to elevate your mood, support better rest, or simply explore natural alternatives, Leafy8 has options to help you on your journey.
