How Much THC Should Medical Cannabis Include To Benefit Patients?

THC in medical cannabis provides the euphoric high so many love. The cannabinoid is one of two main compounds in marijuana, both of which provide benefits for a number of conditions and diseases. How much THC is necessary to help the patient depends on the person’s history of cannabis use and the condition or ailment. It is therefore challenging to determine a general THC guideline to obtain said benefits. However, the following is recommended to determine what is right for your health needs: Cannabis Products The first step in figuring out how much THC you need depends on how you wish to use a THC product. Cannabis “flower” or “weed” generally features lower concentrations of THC than oils, tinctures, capsules, and edibles such as gummy candy.

The Healthy Mom: How Having Kids Can Enhance Your Wellness Lifestyle

When you become a Mom, you give over a part of your life to the raising of your children. There's a lot of societal talk about "having it all" - Moms that retain their identity and their life while raising kids. It's a seductive thought, too - and most of us strive to keep something that makes us, well, us. It's not the best idea psychologically to completely absorb yourself in the task of raising your children.

Workout Getting Stale? These Sports Sure Will Shake Things Up
