Both CBD and THC have the exact same molecular structure: 21 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms. A slight difference in how the atoms are arranged accounts for the differing effects on your body.
Both CBD and THC are chemically similar to your body’s endocannabinoids. This allows them to interact with your cannabinoid receptors.
The interaction affects the release of neurotransmitters in your brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals responsible for relaying messages between cells and have roles in pain, immune function, stress, and sleep, to name a few.
Despite their similar chemical structures, CBD and THC don’t have the same psychoactive effects. CBD is psychoactive, just not in the same manner as THC. It doesn’t produce the high associated with THC. CBD is shown to help with anxiety, depression, seizures, chronic pain, inflammation, migraines, and more.....
THC binds with the cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptors in the brain. It produces a high or sense of euphoria to relieve chronic pain, ms, glaucoma, ADD/ADHA, insomnia, Cancer, nausea, anxiety and more.......
CBD binds very weakly, if at all, to CB1 receptors. CBD needs THC to bind to the CB1 receptor and, in turn, can help reduce some of the unwanted psychoactive effects of THC, such as euphoria or sedation.
CBD partially blocks the intoxicating effects of THC, so consumers who wish to experience the medical benefits of cannabis without as much impairment can best achieve this with our Non-Smokers Menu that contains only CBD. It’s important for consumers to know the contents of each of these components and the ratio of CBD to THC.
Products with a CBD:THC ratio of 1:1 are powerfully therapeutic and produce less impairment than a THC-dominant product. Excessive doses of these products can still produce classic cannabis over consumption symptoms that most heavy smokers seek & enjoy.
How long does it take to feel an effect from infused edibles or meals ?
It takes men anywhere from 10 - 30 minutes, women 30-90 minutes.
The most common mistake in cannabis dosing occurs when a person doesn’t feel any effect and gets impatient so decides to take another dose; two hours later, both doses come through and the individual experience sleepiness
We do not advise for anyone with a pre-existing heart disease or another serious medical condition to consume any THC without a Doctors consent.
In addition to helping with physical pain, CBD balms may be beneficial for certain skin conditions.In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology mentions that topical CBD products show potential for reducing inflammation that can contribute to acne, eczema, and psoriasis. There’s mounting evidence that suggests topical CBD products, like balms, can help with a range of pain issues like:
A 2010 review published in Future Medical Chemistry highlights the potential of cannabinoids (i.e., THC and CBD) as anti-inflammatory agents. The researchers note that cannabinoids have been shown to regulate the production of key inflammatory mediators in immune cells, including T-cells and macrophages. Additionally, they state that these compounds may also suppress inflammation by blocking certain pathways.
These complex actions may explain why cannabis can be effective at treating a variety of inflammatory disorders, including lupus. A 2015 study published in Pharmacological Research found that administering THC to mice with induced lupus reduced joint swelling and inflammation.
Cannabis can help reduce pain from lupus flares and is believed to reduce the side effects of medications used to treat SLE. Because cannabis is anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic, it may help reduce joint inflammation and muscle spasms that are common with lupus.
Medical cannabis for lupus may not be an all-in-one painkiller. Still, it can act as an adjunctive treatment to reduce inflammation caused by other factors (like autoimmune diseases). It can also reduce the need to use other prescription medications, thus making it easier for patients to stick with their prescribed treatment plans.
Although there may be a number of medical uses for cannabis, It's especially beneficial for cancer patients by incorporating a personalized treatment regimen.
We ensure that you get the optimal benefits of cannabis at the lowest, effective dose, without any negative side effects
A cancer patient that is struggling with a lack of appetite or an inability to hold food down will often experience severe weight loss. These patients cannot get the nutrition they need to fight the disease internally, so their health typically declines in kind.
By stimulating the appetite while reducing nausea and vomiting, cannabis is able to deliver a one-two punch to this symptom and allow cancer patient to regain weight through healthier eating habits to support their recovery and wellness.
IN FACT, CANNABIS IS THE ONLY NAUSEA MEDICINE THAT ALSO INCREASES APPETITE.
This makes cannabis uniquely well-suited to help mitigate these negative symptoms of cancer and chemotherapy.
According to the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, medical cannabis, has been used in medical treatment for more than 3,000 years for a plethora of conditions

Chronic pain and opiate addiction have ruined countless lives and changed the landscape of medicine.
Some patients feel let down by the medical system when they are denied effective treatment for chronic pain. Others feel injured by medical providers who have started them on opiate medications that have led to addiction and ruined their lives.
Just about every one of us going through the stages of menopause or perimenopause knows someone who uses cannabinoids, CBD/ THC, have made a huge difference and feel so much better.
New studies show that many women are exploring the untraditional way to treat menopause symptoms by consuming medical monitored edibles. Cannabis guarantees to ease menopause symptoms, which included insomnia, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and hot flashes.
THC helps lower body temperature, which can help with hot flashes. Pot’s mellowing effects help settle your mood , improve sleep and even sex drive.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder stems from an unpleasant past experience that had a major impact on the brain. The patient of this disorder relives the trauma repeatedly even after a long period of time.
A study conducted by NYU Langone Medical Center researchers showed that people suffering from PTSD have much lower levels of a neurotransmitter called anandamide than others. Anandamide is one of the body’s primary endocannabinoids, meaning natural cannabinoids produced by the body. These operate in a similar way to cannabis by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for core functions such as mood, happiness, fear, and anxiety.
CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the body help turn off traumatic memories so that people can essentially stop paying attention to them.
THC/CBD is an alternative treatment that have been shown to lower IOP in 60% to 65% of both normal individuals and patients with glaucoma. Mean IOP reduction in one study was about 25%. An ocular hypotensive effect has been reported when the drug is smoked or ingested and when THC is inhaled or administered orally, sublingually, or intravenously. The duration of action is short, about 4 to 5 hours. There appears to be a dose-response relationship between the amount of marijuana consumed and the degree of IOP reduction.
Psychiatric patients have used medical cannabis to ameliorate their symptoms, either while in active psychiatric treatment or as a “more natural approach.
With years of research in this area, scientists conclude that the active ingredient of cannabis does have a positive effect on mental health.
Cannabis Cures Depression, Anxiety, Insomia, Stress, PMS, IBS, Prevents Seizures. Treats ADD/ADHD, Opiate addiction, Parkinsons, Dementia, Schizophrenia, and improves Bipolar symptoms / cognitive ability.
Our famous CBD Balm has been curing & helping psoriasis, Eczema, and atopic dermatitis patients ease their symptoms by reducing flare-ups, itching and burning pain with great success.
The primary aspect of cannabis being explored for the treatment of lupus is its anti-inflammatory properties. Lupus, as a medical condition, is closely tied to the immune system. The immune system attacks its cells, joints and organs. This attack on healthy cells causes the inflammation associated with lupus.
Aside from treating inflammation, cannabis is known to have analgesic (pain relieving) properties. Pain is one of the most common symptoms of lupus. It can be caused by inflammation in the body, but it’s also a side effect of taking some medications used to treat lupus.
Lastly, medical cannabis for lupus might be beneficial in terms of the overall quality of life of the patient. Many people who suffer from lupus experience a loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. Moreover, those experiencing these symptoms often suffer from sleep issuesThe primary aspect of cannabis being explored for the treatment of lupus is its anti-inflammatory properties.

Can cannabis oil improve the quality of life of lupus patients?
Because depression and anxiety are associated with lupus, cannabis has been studied as an alternative treatment option for those affected by these conditions. Several clinical studies have shown that patients who use medical cannabis have lower levels of anxiety and depression compared with those who don’t use medical cannabis.
In a 2016 online poll, patients with SLE reported feeling less depressed, anxious and stressed when they use medical cannabis. They also find that their symptoms are easier to manage. 83% of those surveyed said they would recommend medical cannabis to another person with lupus.
The use of cannabis is also associated with improved sleep quality – a common problem in people with SLE. This is because cannabis has been shown to have sedative effects and can help patients fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
