There was a time when people associated cannabis as leading to one thing and that is getting high. That was then this is now, numerous research has proven that cannabis actually has medicinal purposes. Which is why more and more people are using it as a pain killer, a way to relieve nausea, for depression or just as a way to relax. The once consider taboo plant has even been legalized for medical use in over half the states in the United States. But no doubt some are still leery about using cannabis even for medical purposes, which is understandable. Whether it comes from a plant or not there is still cause for concern, especially when first introducing it to your body, so why not try microdose to begin with.



What is Microdosing Cannabis?
Microdosing is pretty much what the name says, it is using trace amounts of cannabis be it in a tea, liquid or edible form to gradually adjust the body to it. Through micro-dosing, a person will discover how little or how much they actually require for relief. But be able to control how their body feels and not end up feeling high as a result of using too much. Remember, if you never used a cannabis product before this is something new, even when using a prescription or over the counter pain killer is always advisable to start at a lower dosage then what is instructed to see how the body reacts.


How Much Cannabis is a Microdose?
The amount of the dose could vary from individuals. Some recommend as little as two milligrams, which others say ten milligrams. Perhaps the best course of action is the start with the smallest microdose and see what happens. A factor to the type of microdose used could be the type of cannabis product if the product is pure or has a certain type of strain the effects could be greater. So, one thing that can be done is look at the recommended dosage on the package and take either half or a fourth of the dosage to adjust the body to the cannabis.


Side Effects and Precautions
Even with micro-dosing trace amounts of cannabis, there will be some side effects. A person may feel drowsy or light-headed, which isn't unusual given how this product relaxes individuals. One major precaution to remember when first starting to take cannabis is to avoid alcohol at least till the body adjusts to the product. Even afterward make sure not to take cannabis and drink right before or after. Think of cannabis as a prescription pain killer most of the hte precautions that go with these apply to cannabis as well.


Bottom-line micro-dosing cannabis is an effective way to start using a cannabis product. Which is why so many medical professionals now recommend doing so to patients who need the product to maybe help them deal with side effects from cancer therapy. Whatever the reason where cannabis is concerned a little bit is what is best when first starting out.

The Evolution Of The Classic Stoner Character in Movies and TV


It’s taken TV and movies featuring stoner characters a long time to catch up with the reality of marijuana culture in the United States. Historically, Hollywood has ignored cannabis all together, then demonized it, misrepresented it, and used it as an easy punchline, before finally giving way to the more nuanced, low-key reality of life in a country where over half its states have legalized the drug for medical or recreational use.

Here, The Bluntness charts the changing depiction of marijuana users in film and TV over the last 85 years or so, and digs in to what these stoner movies might tell us about the changing cultural attitudes around pot in pop culture.

Weed Makes Me Introspective: When Cannabis Causes Us to Reconsider Our Life Choices

Pot Prompts Self-Reflection

Being stoned comes with a wealth of side effects – some of which are just part of the fun, while others have been known to get smeared all over a person’s psyche, causing them to gawk out the window every thirty seconds to see if the cops are coming up the stairs.

Perhaps the least discussed byproduct of the bud, however, is its uncanny ability to send the user into a maddening state of introspection. Cannabis can make individuals more attuned to their bodily sensations, emotions, and inner thoughts, which can contribute to this introspective state. Weed can often inspire the high-minded to start questioning their life choices, setting them on a path of self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-destruction.

Sex on Shrooms: How to Prepare Yourself

If you've tripped on psilocybin (a.k.a., magic mushrooms) before, you're already well aware what an intense experience it can be. And if shrooms can take an average activity like listening to music to an entirely different universe, you can probably imagine what sex on shrooms might feel like.

As intense and amazing as mushroom sex can be, it can also be an incredibly negative experience if you're not careful. Most psychotropic substances are best experienced when you curate the right set and setting, and sex on magic mushrooms is no different.
