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. Flowers also provide a steady rise in THC levels instead of hitting the body all at once, the way gummy candies or tinctures do.

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.

Although the idea might surprise you, there are a bunch of sports that you could take up to not only improve your workout but to let you have a bit of fun too. Dance Dance can often have a bit of a stigma.

But, if you want a workout that shocks your body, works you hard and is a whole lot of fun, any of the dozens of dance styles would be an excellent choice. Cycling If you’ve done spin before, then you’ll know just … [Read more...]
