As health consciousness grows, more individuals are seeking healthier alternatives to traditional smoking. One such alternative that has gained popularity is the use of a vaporizer for dry herbs or concentrates. Vaporizers offer a cleaner and potentially healthier way to enjoy the benefits of herbs and concentrates. Here are the top five health benefits of using a vaporizer. 1. Reduced Harmful Toxins Unlike smoking, vaporizing does not involve combustion. Combustion occurs when a substance is heated to a high temperature, leading to the creation of harmful toxins, including carcinogens. When using a vaporizer, the dry herb or concentrate is heated at a lower temperature, which can reduce the production of these harmful toxins. This makes vaporizing a potentially healthier alternative to traditional smoking. 2. Improved Lung Health Research indicates that vaporizing may be less harmful to the lungs compared to smoking. With vaporizing, the user inhales vapor instead of smoke. This can lead to less irritation of the lungs and respiratory system, making it a more comfortable and potentially healthier option for those who enjoy herbs and concentrates. 3. Efficient Extraction of Compounds Vaporizers heat dry herbs or concentrates to a specific temperature range where the beneficial compounds (like cannabinoids and terpenes) are released without causing combustion. This means you're getting the most out of your product without burning it and potentially destroying some of these beneficial compounds. 4. Control Over Temperature and Dosage With a vaporizer, you have more control over the temperature at which your dry herb or concentrate is heated. Different compounds vaporize at different temperatures, and having control over the heat allows you to target specific compounds, enhancing your experience. Moreover, vaporizers allow for more control over dosage, ensuring you consume the exact amount you intend to. 5. Less Odor While not directly a health benefit, the reduced odor associated with vaporizers contributes to a more pleasant and discreet experience. This can indirectly improve your mental well-being, as you can enjoy your dry herbs or concentrates without worrying about the lingering smell that comes with traditional smoking.

With the increasing popularity of cannabis edibles, individuals who prefer not to smoke now have a consumption option that works for them as well. However, the preparation of edibles isn’t as simple as rolling a blunt or packing a bowl. Mistakes can easily be made and things can quickly turn bad. Let’s face it. Nobody wants to eat something that fails to make you high or tastes atrocious. The following are some helpful tips that will help you avoid some of the more common cannabis culinary mistakes: Not “de-carbing” your weed – as the primary step in just about every weed recipe, decarboxylation is the process wherein you heat up your cannabis to activate the cannabinoids. Avoiding this step will cause the end product to be pretty bad. Not stirring your mixture well enough – stirring your batter or mixture helps to keep everything evenly distributed so that all cannabinoids are blended throughout the end product. This is preferred if you want a consistent and potent edible. Overcooking the mix – whether it’s brownies, cakes, or cookies, you’re sure to ruin your edible if you bake it at too high a temperature. It’s recommended that you cook at a maximum 350°. However, cooking slower at lower temperatures is best. Over-grinding your cannabis – this is one of the more common mistakes that is made prior to decarboxylation. You don’t want to make a powder out of your cannabis as this alters the flavor and taste of the end product. Stop grinding when your weed pieces look like chunks of sea salt. In addition to the above preparation and baking mistakes, there are also a couple of dosing mistakes you want to avoid, namely adding too little or adding too much weed. If you add too little, you probably won’t feel much, if anything at all. On the other hand, if you add too much, it will probably make you sick to your stomach or very nauseous. Now that you know how to make the perfect edible, here are 5 “DON’Ts regarding how to consume your edibles: DON’T consume alcohol with your edibles DON’T eat edibles by yourself DON’T eat edibles on an empty stomach DON’T rush things; start with small doses DON’T use your edibles to improve your productivity at work (Well duh!) Now that we’ve given you the basics, good luck making your own edibles. However, if you still prefer smoking your cannabis, visit the Tank Glass website to see the finest and most durable smoking accessories on the market today. Whether you are looking for long pipes, beakers or bongs, we have a huge collection for you to browse.

Whenever we think about cannabis, athletes and individuals working out aren’t the first images that usually come to mind. Interestingly enough, clinical and scientific research has suggested it should be. Maybe it’s time for us to re-examine those assumptions about how smoking marijuana could adversely affect our workout and muscle recovery. How does Cannabis affect Your Workout? Although the idea of using cannabis to enhance your athletic performance is somewhat controversial, some athletes and fitness experts claim the negatives are outweighed by the benefits it provides. Some of these benefits include: enhanced relaxation increased appetite pain relief On the other hand, some clinical research has pointed out the adverse effects that using cannabis has on workout routines such as: decreased lung function increased heart rate slower reaction times So how do you get the most out of exercising by using cannabis? The way in which it can impact your workout routine depends on 4 factors: amount or dosage you can tolerate prior to working out potency of the strain type of strain you use your individual biology Recommendations call for a THC dosing workout schedule that includes: A pre-workout (30-60 minutes prior to exercising) dosage A micro-dosage during the workout A post-workout (1 to 2 hours after completing your workout) dosage This will enable you to understand what works best where your body, metabolism, and workout schedule are concerned. The general rule of thumb is to start with a lower dosage and go slowly. How does Cannabis affect Your Muscle Recovery? Unfortunately, there has only been limited research regarding the way cannabis affects a person’s muscle recovery. We know that the THC in cannabis has anti-inflammatory properties. Muscles tend to be inflamed and sore after a workout. As a result, many individuals believe that smoking cannabis can help your muscles recover quicker while reducing cramps and muscle spasms in the process. With a lot of medical recognition, it is important to see a doctor if your long-term ailment symptoms can be alleviated with cannabis. Cannabis as a Post-exercising Pain Reliever The use of cannabis to relieve muscle pain after exercising is not uncommon among many athletes. When CBD or THC enters your body, it binds to the endocannabinoid system’s CB1 and CB2 receptors. This reduces the pain signals throughout your body so you can be more comfortable after strenuous activities. Along with its natural anti-inflammatory properties, cannabis is an ideal choice for post-workout muscle recovery and pain relief.

There are numerous organisms that are associated with different types of cannabis, some of which can be very beneficial while others are extremely harmful. Those that are considered harmful to cannabis grown indoors are pests such as aphids, fungus gnats, spider mites, and thrips. The following information will help you identify these pests and the grow room environmental conditions that are conducive to their rapid breeding and spreading. Aphids Although they are quite small, aphids are visible to the naked eye. They may be black, brown, or yellow in color and while adults typically have wings, their young don’t. This pest sucks the leaf tissue and secretes a sticky, sugary substance that attracts ants. Most species of aphids multiply at temperatures from 68° F to 82° F (20° C to 28° C) and relative humidity ranging from 50% to 80%. Fungus Gnats Fungus gnats look like small flies and, just like aphids, are visible to the naked eye. These pests are attracted to cannabis crops and initially breed in the when humidity levels are high. Although they don’t eat the plant, their larvae may eat the root hairs. When a plant is infected with fungus gnats, the leaves turn yellow and wilt. Their ideal breeding and growing environment is warm and wet with higher-than-normal humidity levels. So don’t overwater your plants. Spider Mites As one of the more common pests found on cannabis crops, spider mites are small arachnids with a population comprised of nearly 1,200 different species. Furthermore, these pests often require the use of a magnifying glass to spot them. They are less than 1 mm or 0.04 inches in size and are typically brown, green, or red in color. They breed and multiply quickly when temperatures reach 80° F (27° C) and humidity levels are 60% or lower. Thrips These small sap-sucking insects feed on cannabis plants while living inside them. Most thrips have elongated bodies that range from 0.6 to 3 mm or 0.02 to 0.12 inches in length. They often appear like small dots moving on the leaves of the plant. Early warning signs of thrips are shiny silvery and white that looks similar to rice grains on the plant’s leaves. When temperatures are high – 77°F to 80° F (25° C to 27° C) – and humidity levels are between 60% and 85%, thrips tend to reproduce quickly.Apart from using good quality herbs and cannabis for your smoking pleasure, it helps to have the right smoking apparatus.

If you haven’t heard about THC-P, it’s one of the newest THC variants introduced to the market and has already been proven to be one of the strongest cannabinoids to date. Even more important is the fact that it’s made from hemp. Consequently, it’s available online as well as various retail locations other than dispensaries. So what exactly is THC-P? THC-P or Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiphorol is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in smaller concentrations in cannabis plants. Select strains of the variant were initially discovered in 2019 by Italian researchers. But it didn’t take long before hemp producers saw a tremendous opportunity for developing new products. As a result, manufacturers found the means to make other cannabinoid alternatives including Delta-8 and hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) which is a hydrogenated Tetrahydrocannabinol derivative. Consequently, the consensus was “why not THC-P?” Unfortunately, there isn’t enough of this material in a plant to infuse products such as gummies, tinctures, or vape pens. Instead, scientists typically extract the CBD from hemp and then isolate it before exposing it to a series of reactions that change the chemical structure despite the fact that it’s naturally occurring. So many manufacturers decided to procure enough THC-P in order to create new product lines. That is because the demand is so high and production is still catching up. THC-P – its Benefits and Effects As with any cannabinoid, they typically respond to each individual’s unique ECS or endocannabinoid system differently. No two individuals can smoke or otherwise consume the same amount, format, or strain, and experience the identical results. There are too many factors that contribute to every individual’s experience. That being said, THC-P is the ideal option for individuals who’ve developed a high tolerance to THC and patients requiring heavier doses. Although the effects are similar to that of THC, those of THC-P are a bit more intense and potent. Consequently, you’ll consume less but achieve and enjoy the same results. This will enable you to save money if budget is a factor in your consumption habits. With THC-P, you can expect to feel euphoric and relaxed. Furthermore, it helps to improve one’s mood and reduces physical tension. In some cases, it has been effective at fighting insomnia, increasing a person’s appetite, and treating chronic pain. The medicinal benefits are high and studies are going on. As far as legality is concerned, the legal status of any cannabinoid depends on its point of origination. For example, any marijuana derived cannabinoid is only legal if it’s sold through dispensary channels or medical marijuana programs.

It’s a given that no two individuals are alike. It’s also a given that no two cannabis highs are alike either. So why is this? Is there anything that can be done about it? Getting high is a terrific experience. It breaks down your defenses, enables you to see things from a completely different perspective, and generates good vibes. But as we just mentioned, no two cannabis highs are alike. In addition to quality and strain, there are 5 factors that can have a significant impact on your high including: Height and weight – although this is a factor with most drugs, body size can have a marked influence on the cannabis high you experience. Gram for gram, a larger person will need to smoke more cannabis compare to smaller individuals. However, larger individuals shouldn’t automatically consume larger amounts to compensate for their size. However, if you find that your cannabis high is unusually stronger or weaker when compared to other individuals, this could be a factor. Metabolism – while metabolism is a factor that is often largely misunderstood, we do know that individuals with faster metabolisms process marijuana faster and may have stronger effects. On the other hand, those individuals with slower metabolisms may have difficulties getting as high due to a higher cannabis tolerance. Method of consumption – it’s no secret that different methods of consumption will yield different experiences or results. Bioavailability plays a significant role. For example, vaping offers greater bioavailability than smoking yet cannabis-infused foods offer relatively low bioavailability but is considered a more potent method. Whether you use a bong or a water pipe, you will have a different experience. Prior experiences – this can affect you in different ways. First, consider frequency of usage and your tolerance. For example, if you smoke throughout the day, your high is likely to be less dramatic compared to those who smoke less frequently. Second, think about your emotional response to getting high. Was your high largely enjoyable of did your experience any semi-traumatic events? Set and Setting – “Set” refers to your mindset and how you feel before getting high. The “Setting” refers to your smoking environment. Your state of mind prior to, during, and after smoking will directly determine whether you have an anxiety-ridden and unpleasant high or one that is more euphoric and relaxing. Is it possible that an individual can’t get high? While there have been a few theories regarding this, they have yet to be proven.

One of the terms you might hear in cannabis circles is “caryophyllene.” What is it, you ask? According to Wikipedia, “caryophyllene, more formally-β-caryophyllene, is a natural bicyclic sesquiterpene that is a constituent of many essential oils, especially clove oil, the oil from the stems and flowers of Syzygium aromaticum, the essential oil of Cannabis sativa, rosemary, and hops.” And while the high you experience is attributed to THC, caryophyllene reduces the nausea it can cause and increases your appetite. That is one of the reasons for its popularity with smokers and weed users. In order to clarify everything as much as possible we’ve listed the 4 benefits and effects (which are basically the same thing here) of caryophyllene below: Anti-tumor – due to its use as an enhanced anti-inflammatory, caryophyllene might also serve as an anti-tumor by increasing anti-metastatic activity of cancer cells. However, researchers have warned that only single cells were tested and that additional testing may be required to determine how caryophyllene will affect malignant, high mass tumoral growth. Anti-inflammatory – recent studies involving the use of caryophyllene to treat just about everything from allergies to osteoarthritis have shown that it may one day contribute to the management and treatment of certain chronic inflammatory diseases. It should be noted that the research was conducted with higher caryophyllene levels than what someone is likely to experience in a smoking session. Antioxidant – one of the more beneficial effects of caryophyllene is that it can act as an antioxidant. These are chemicals that help remove the cell-damaging or aging and illness causing unstable atoms (“free radicals”) from the body. Caryophyllene may have a use as an anti-aging lotion and a sunscreen additive. Sedative – marijuana’s sedative nature and its ability to contribute to sleep is a well-known side effect of high-THC strains. Recent research has indicated that extremely high doses of caryophyllene might have sedative effects on lab mice. Once again, more research about this is warranted. However, one can readily see how even the smallest amount of caryophyllene combined with CBD’s and THC’s sedative characteristics could contribute to a person’s desire to sleep. Interestingly enough, caryophyllene will not get you high by itself. Consuming THC is the only way that a person can experience the effects of smoking weed. The problem is, unless you buy some type of caryophyllene extract or a high-CBD or a lower THC strain there’s no other way that you can consume one substance without the other item. We have experts that can help you or your may connect with your friends to enjoy a smoke.

Just like everything else in the Cannabis Community, the first part of your path to getting educated involves understanding marijuana jargon. Most weed-related terminologies are a sort of code used by stoners in days gone by so they could talk openly about smoking marijuana without the fear of recrimination for doing something illegal. So, to put it simply, these weed-related terminologies were born out of necessity. Cannabis users had to find a way that they could communicate among themselves without cops, parents, principals, or teachers knowing what they were talking about. “710” is the special Code for Extracts or Concentrates As the name implies, “concentrates” are the concentrated version of the original bud. Through the solvent extraction process the trichomes and other chemical elements that comprise the medicinal and psychoactive components of marijuana plants are stripped away from the plant itself. Once the stripping process is finished, the cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN, and THC), flavonoids, terpenes, and a more potent concentrate is all that’s left from the original bud.Concentrates can come in a broad range of different forms including Budder, Crumble, Honeycomb, Shatter, and Wax. However, the base component of all of these is the oil that comes from the extraction process. Consequently, the term “oil” is commonly used as a blanket or umbrella terminology that refers to the consumption of cannabis by “cold start dabbing”, “regular dabbing”, or smoking these concentrates in other forms. All of this eventually gave way to the birth of a new cannabis subculture of 710 friendly.(Hint: By writing the word oil on a piece of paper and turning it 180°, the word “oil” becomes “710”.) What do We mean by 710-Friendly? Simply stated, 710-friendly means that oil, as well as its consumption methods and its different byproducts are welcome in certain areas. Thus, if you see a sign on your local dispensary’s door that says “710” or “710-Friendly, this indicates they sell concentrates and the aficionados thereof are encouraged to shop there. Keep in mind that the slogan isn’t reserved exclusively for dispensaries. You can find it on bumper stickers, caps, and t-shirts as well. You’ll even find 710-friendly tags on social media platforms.Regardless of where you encounter the terms “oil”, “710”, or “710-friendly”, it just emphasizes the fact that consuming cannabis concentrates is one of the most current industry trends.
