The Impact of CBD and THC Ratios on Anxiety and Paranoia

A study conducted by the University of Colorado’s Department of Psychology and Neuroscience found that using CBD with THC in cannabis reduced feelings of paranoia and anxiety while maintaining the positive subjective effects of the head high.

Cannabis users were randomly allocated to consume one of three different types:

1) A THC-dominant type (24% THC, 1% CBD)

2) A balanced THC and CBD type (9% THC, 10% CBD)

3) A CBD-dominant type (1% THC, 23% CBD).

The study allowed participants to use their assigned strain as desired and analyzed their responses before, immediately after, and one-hour post-consumption.

?? The balanced THC+CBD strain led to a reduction in anxiety and paranoia without diminishing the positive effects that users experienced.

The Science of Flow - Achieving Enjoyment In Peak Performance

What is flow?

Flow is a state where you perform and feel your best.

It is the merging of action and consciousness.

In the natural-high from flow states, our nervous system cocktails several of the best chemicals that our brain makes:

? Dopamine

? Serotonin

? Oxytocin

? GABA

? Adrenaline

? Anandamide

In this way, flow provides a boost in information and inspiration to your nervous system.

The Flow State Apprentice

?? You’re hardwired for flow, and it’s an enormous lens for what is possible for humans.

As human beings, we can experience flow daily.

In flow, your focus becomes so intense that everything else seems to disappear.

  • Action and awareness merge.
  • Your inner critic disappears.
  • The perception of time alters.
  • Your performance goes through the roof.

Cannabis Use Reduces Alcohol Intake in Heavy Drinkers

Researchers looked at the relationship of cannabis consumption with alcohol in people who were both heavy drinkers and cannabis users.

Cannabis use was linked to reduced alcohol consumption in heavy drinkers, according to this observational study published in the journal Addiction.

?? Participants consumed 29% less alcohol when they used cannabis, compared to days without.

?? Participants were twice as less likely to engage in binge drinking on days when they used cannabis.

These trends were consistent across different groups, including males, females, and both infrequent and frequent cannabis users.
