The word “shrooms” is generally used as an umbrella term for different types of psychedelic or “magic” mushrooms.
Unlike the mushrooms we might eat in a dish, shrooms often contain compounds that can produce psychedelic effects, like hallucinations, distorted senses, and altered states of consciousness, also known as “trips.” The most common psychoactive compound found in these sorts of shrooms is psilocybin, but not all shrooms capable of impacting the brain rely on psilocybin to do so.
Many people turn to shrooms for recreational or medicinal purposes (or both), which isn’t a new phenomenon; many types of mushrooms have been used for centuries or even longer to treat common ailments, promote spiritual exploration, and bring people closer together.
In fact, some shrooms, like fly agaric (Amanita muscaria), are so ancient that researchers have traced their origins back to the period before indigenous peoples crossed from Eurasia to the Americas via the Bering Straits. That means that shroom use has been around for almost as long as modern human society has!
CBD may help with reduce hyperactivity, increase focus, and mediate the negative side effects associated with stimulant based ADHD medications.
A 2016 test-tube study has revealed CBD to be able to transform potentially unhealthy white fat cells into brown fat cells which generate heat for the body by burning calories. This could potentially result in weight loss.
- Gather and Grind Your Cannabis. Take your decarbed cannabis and, using either a grinder or your hands, break up the flower. Try not to create too fine a powder, though – anything that’s small enough to fit through your straining tools later will end up in your butter.
- Melt Your Butter. Using a low heat setting, add one cup of butter (two sticks) to a saucepan, pot, or slow cooker. Next, add in one cup of water to help keep temperatures steady and prevent scorched butter.
- Add the Cannabis. Once your butter has melted down, add in your ground cannabis.
- Let it Simmer. Allow your mixture to simmer for about two to three hours over low heat. Try to keep your butter between 160-200ºF – any higher and you risk burning up your cannabinoids.
- Strain and Store. Grab a mesh strainer or cheesecloth and place it over a jar or container. Pour your butter mixture through it and toss any leftover plant material. Don’t feel like you have to thoroughly squeeze out every ounce of butter; you may end up adding chlorophyll to your butter, which won’t make for a great tasting product.
Delta-8 is a cannabinoid found in the hemp plant that can provide a euphoric “high” with fewer side effects than THC but all of the same health benefits. It is federally legal due to an amendment to the 2018 Farm Bill.
Microdosing is the practice of taking very small amounts of a substance in order to test or benefit from its physiological action while minimising undesirable side effects.
Hydrox4phc, or PHC, is a synthetic cannabinoid derived from Delta 9 acetate. It’s not naturally-occurring in the cannabis plant, but scientists can extract it by the way of special chemical processes. Once PHC enters your system, it is converted into 99% THC. PHC does deliver an intense psychoactive experience, so it’s best to start low and slow with this cannabinoid.
Delta 9 THC, THC, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, Delta 9, D9, or whatever else you want to call it, is the main psychoactive chemical that is naturally occuring in cannabis plants. It is found primarily in the resin produced by the buds and leaves of female cannabis plants.
Short answer, no. Delta 8 is a version of THC and will test positive for any Tetrahydrocannabinol, be it Delta 8 THC or Delta 9 THC.
Using a CBD vape pen to take CBD oil is completely safe as long as you use high-quality vape products and you use the vape pen responsibly.
The volatile oils in any undiluted cannabis-derived product are powerful and can cause irritation and other side effects when applied topically. Therefore a carrier oil must be used in combination with CBD oil.
Typically, CBD gummies take about 30 to 90 minutes for the effects to settle in and those effects can last between 4 and 6 hours.
Delta 10 is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, but each state is subject to its own laws and regulations.
You can find various types of CBD products. There are edibles, oils, skin creams, coffee, capsules, and more! Whatever type of product you are comfortable with, you can probably find with CBD in it.
A “green out” is similar to a blackout for alcohol or other substances – it happens when the brain and body become overwhelmed by the amount of THC a person has consumed. It is, in essence, the boss level of being high.
