Incorporating CBD into Your Dosing Regimen
Medical cannabis patients are thankful to have the medicine they need to get them through quarantine. However, more free time means more time to medicate, which comes with unique pros and cons, some of which we can turn to CBD to alleviate. Here are a few reasons why now is the perfect time to add CBD to your dosing regimen.
For our patients, cannabis is an essential medicine that increases theirquality of life. With our world at a standstill, many are finding themselves with more time than ever to medicate. The increase of cannabis consumption leads to an increase in cannabinoid tolerance.
Tolerance is defined as the capacity of the body to become less responsive to a substance; the more cannabis you consume, the greater your tolerance becomes. For cannabis patients, we always recommend starting low and going slowly in order to find the optimal dose and maintain it. Not only is this method effective in medicating, it also is a much more cost-effective approach to medicating with cannabis. Given the current unrest in the world, we feel it as important as ever to help our patients understand how to utilize cannabis in the most cost-effective manner.
When discussing tolerance, it is important to understand that we build a tolerance to the specific cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, etc.) present in the medicine. Therefore, it can be advantageous to incorporate a mixture of cannabinoid-rich products so that one can benefit from all this magical plant has to offer. Additionally, it is important to limit excessive consumption of just a single cannabinoid, which leads to developing a tolerance and limiting its effectiveness. This is one of the many reasons why right now is a great time to start incorporating CBD.
In the current state of uncertainty, many of us could benefit from some mental relief. CBD is great for “taking the edge off” without intoxicating or impairing the patient. CBD, although non-psychoactive, still packs a potent medicinal punch in terms of relieving stress and anxiety, as well as inflammation-related pain. CBD works in conjunction with the other cannabinoids and, through the entourage effect, can boost the overall effectiveness of the medicine, while still helping to prevent developing a high tolerance, especially to THC.
For our patients looking to reset their tolerance back down to a more cost-effective place, we recommend starting to incorporate CBD into your dosing regimen. Since CBD is federally legal, these products can be purchased by patients and non-patients alike. We even carry a full line of pet CBD for your furry friends as well!
