Juicing Cannabis UPDATE plus getting high.

-


So I began juicing cannabis a couple weeks ago. Having been wanting to do this for a very long time.  And I reported, even advertised, that this was a great way to get all the super beneficials that this plant has to offer without a "lift" whatsoever.  Because there really are some that do not want that "lift".

Personally I have never done well with THC (the psychoactive cannabinoid in 'Marijuana').  Being a somewhat high energy (strung?) type, I wanted to like it and receive that unwinding or chilled out effect.  However for me it was the exact opposite.  I feel like my body is under attack and I get anxious, thoughts racing and even feel nauseated.


 ✧*。ヾ(｡>﹏<｡)ﾉﾞ✧*。

So I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is not the case when I smoke a hit or two of CBD hemp flower.  I can actually relax!  As time went on however I came to find that too much CBD also did what THC did to me!  Since I formulate CBD products, I use CBD oil regularly.  I also enjoy CBD products such as lollipops, soda, ect.  BUT if I should get too much on me and have also had some whether it be oil, juice or smoke, I know when I have had too much. First my stomach will feel under attack and then I will get the uncomfortable feelings of anxiety and paranoia that I stated above.

This is why dosing is so IMPORTANT!    
Now mind you, most are not as sensitive as me.  More often than not folks can consume large amounts with no issues but drowsiness.  Yet I always tell people to begin with a low dose and work your way up.  Besides it is all about what you are trying to get from it anyway.

Are you using it for menstrual cramps or arthritis?  Or do you need it on a more cellular level for Lyme disease or Fibromyalgia?


Some may smoke it daily for balance.  (Example those with PTSD)

These are all things to take into consideration.

I found this to be true with the juicing as well.



This came to me as a real shocker.
I was having one of my powerhouse cannabis drinks when an hour later, I felt it creeping on.  My stomach went sour and my anxiety rose.  I knew about 5 minutes later I must have consumed too much and I only had a drink that day.

SO I am writing this to say even though the cannabis plant was not in flower, I used only fan leaves for my drink, I still got a "lift".  It was a more mild effect but it happened, I cannot deny.
Now you will find that you cannot get high from the fan leaves which is why I am reporting otherwise.  Although for most, they may not.   

My hypothesis is that it happened because of the consistent daily drinking (can we have a build up?) and I did put more leaves in the drink that day.  (I used only cannabis leaves versus using a mix of cannabis and kale.) 

So now you know!

Please share your experience with this plant!  There is so much we have yet to learn!

Trending; My 3 year stint with the keto diet, a review

Now before I begin to be demonized and sent a bunch of hate email , I’m NOT a doctor. Nor did I do the keto WOE (way of eating) under the care of a health practitioner. *I take full responsibility of my own health therefor I do my own due diligence, research and experiments; performed on me, by me. With this said this is my story, not yours. Please take anything I say as just that, my personal experience and opinions. And sorry I'm not siting any scientific reports for this article.  I'm keeping it personal.   I'm JUST a mom! Whew, now that we have all that squared away, let’s begin, shall we? (Note; For those just skimming, or have limited time, the condensed review is at the bottom.) The story: I began the keto WOE back in June of 2013 and I was 7 months postpartum at the time. However I continued this WOE through 2 pregnancies, exclusive breastfeeding and beyond. (ie. Intense workouts, heavy weight lifting, hiking, and more.) For my body, this mean...

Reinforcements; Plant Allies!

Many of us are either sick or experiencing a loved one's sickness.  Either way the pain of illness is close. Smoke Signals is a place to share information that encourages one another.  We believe that we have been given everything we need to live and abundant life.  This is our mantra because we want it to sink in. It's true! We advocate WILD EDIBLES on our side bar, to the left, for many reasons. 1.) FREE medicine! It's wise & true that every seed bearing plant has been given to us for fruit and it's leaf for medicine. "Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." "Eat the rainbow" 2.) It's more than just a medicine or a food.  It's a holistic way of living. It's a symbiotic relationship. It's synergy!  We were created to consume these plants just as they were created for us to consume. It goes in a harmonious cycle. We give off carbon dioxide, they give off oxygen. They adapt to the ever ch...

Shampoo, no-poo, or co-washing?!?

Shampoo, no-poo, or co-washing?!? What does all this mean and what is the best natural hair care method? Do we really need shampoo? What about just using conditioner? All those plastic bottles not only contribute to the waste epidemic but what about all the money wrapped up in this one simple daily practice? Do you think I can write this entire post in questions? My opinion ( which has not been evaluated by the food and drug administration, I assure you ) is this; Shampoo as infrequently as possible. -No I'm not kidding.- Even the mildest shampoo strips oils, that's what it is formulated to do. Therefore one who has dry hair, doesn't need more drying. And if you tend toward oily hair, frequent shampooing creates a cycle in which the scalp increases production of oils (Sebaceous glands secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum.) in response to every washing away of it. Subsequently this leads you to believe that you should be washing y...
