About Cannabis Oil in the Central Valley

Cannabis oil continues to be one of the most popular forms of cannabis. Cannabis oil offers many benefits. It’s easier to use than flower and is easier to store than edibles. It’s also very convenient. You can bring cannabis oil with you when you travel and once you arrive, it’s easy to take. 

What Is Cannabis Oil?

Cannabis oil is a concentrated form of cannabis extracted from the cannabis plant. Most oils use a process called chemical extraction that extracts cannabinoids like THC and CBD from the plant in addition to other beneficial ingredients such as terpenes and flavonoids. CO2 extraction is currently the most popular method as it allows for easy extraction and doesn’t produce toxic residue. 

How Can You Take Cannabis Oil?

Each method can lead to different effects. Smoking or inhaling cannabis oil will lead to the quickest effects, you’ll feel the effects immediately. If you eat it, the effects can take an hour or more to feel. Sublingually is the most popular method of taking cannabis oil as it is quick, easy, and low-key. Sublingual ingestion will take longer to feel the effects than smoking it but usually less time

What’s the Right Dosage for Cannabis Oil?

Start with a few drops, and then work your way up if you feel like you need more. When you start small, it’s always easier to add more but if you start with too much, you can’t go back.

Benefits of Cannabis Oil

Promotes Tranquility 

Cannabis helps encourage a tranquil and relaxed mood. It can aid in meditation or yoga or help achieve a serene state of mind before a hike or before working on a project. Cannabis oil can also supplement the enjoyment of your favorite hobbies.

Supports Healthy Sleep Habits

Many people struggle with insomnia or just have trouble falling asleep at night. Take cannabis oil an hour or two before you want to sleep. It’s estimated that as much as 30-40% of the population suffer from some form of sleep disorder.^[1] Cannabis oil can help relax the mind and soothe the body preparing you for a good night’s sleep.

Pain Relief

Cannabis has a long history as a pain reliever. In ancient China, the plant was used to treat malaria, menstrual symptoms, constipation, and gout.^[2] In medieval times, it was used to treat nausea, vomiting, and as an analgesic. Cannabis can help with both acute and chronic inflammation of the joints. Acute inflammation is temporary, the result of a sprain or strain. Chronic inflammation comes from long-lasting conditions such as forms of arthritis. Cannabis has 20 times the anti-inflammatory power as aspirin!^[3] This makes it an incredibly effective treatment for joint and muscle pain. Canada and the UK have already approved a drug made from THC and CBD to treat multiple sclerosis. The US might soon follow suit. Until then, cannabis oil performs an important role as an anti-inflammatory.

Reduce Stress and Anxiety

Cannabis oil can work well as an anti-stressor. One study found that a dose of CBD helped reduce social anxiety before patients gave a speech.^[4] With more studies on the way, and a large number of individual testimonials at how cannabis helped reduce their stress and anxiety, cannabis can play an important role in reducing overall stress and anxiety.

Neuroprotective Properties

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and strokes pose a difficult challenge. Cannabis oil can help relieve the symptoms. Researchers found that cannabis contains neuroprotective properties.^[5]

What to Look For in Cannabis Oil

Cannabis products are legalized at the state level so the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t provide guidelines for cannabis oil. It might feel confusing to sort through all the products offered. If possible, read the labels carefully. All products should list whether THC or CBD is the primary ingredient. For products with both CBD and THC, the package should include the CBD: THC ratio. Patients are usually looking for THC or CBD heavy products. If you have questions about which oil to try, don’t hesitate to ask your Medallion Wellness Canna-guide. You can learn more about the benefits of cannabis products by following our blog.
