Why You Should Take a Daily Dose of Cannabis
Cannabis plants have over 100 cannabinoids, the most commonly known ones being THC and CBD, but did you know that humans also have naturally occurring cannabinoids inside our bodies?
We all have an Endocannabinoid System, which is a master regulating system controlling all of our other bodily systems, including immune, nervous, and cardiovascular. The discovery of the Endocannabinoid System was first made in 1992 by a team of scientists at the University of Jerusalem. Its primary function is to maintain homeostasis necessary for the body to operate optimally. Because it affects all other systems, the Endocannabinoid System regulates a large array of physiological functions including pain, memory, inflammation, mood, appetite, stress, sleep, metabolism, and ability to fight infections.
Our Endocannabinoid System connects the body’s naturally occurring cannabinoids with cannabinoid receptors located throughout the body, which helps restore and maintain balance. But sometimes our Endocannabinoid System can’t keep up with its job. When our bodies are stressed (surgery, menopause, illness, to name a few) and particularly as we age, our bodies produce less cannabinoids, leading to decline of our entire cannabinoid system. A daily dose of cannabis is an easy and effective way to fortify an exhausted endocannabinoid system.
Our bodies are literally pre-programmed with cannabinoid receptors, located everywhere in our bodies, to receive the cannabinoids that naturally occur in the plant. When we ingest cannabis on a daily basis we are supplementing our bodies’ own cannabinoids and fueling our endocannabinoid system to heal us.
Think of it like a daily dose of vitamin C, which is precisely what the scientist who participated in this prominent study recommended, after he saw how a regular dose of cannabis over a period of time literally reversed the aging process in the brains of older mice, restoring memory and other cognitive functions.[1]
That scientist explained that when our cannabinoid system declines as we age, we find accelerated aging, but a daily dose of cannabis over an extended period of time produced seemingly miraculous results, with one researcher remarking: "It looked as though the THC treatment turned back the molecular clock.”
We’ve made it easy to take a daily dose of cannabis with our newest tincture that contains all the cannabinoids of the whole plant, but is not psychoactive. A cannabis plant in its raw form contains THCA which only becomes psychoactive THC when heated. By not heating the cannabis before we tincture it, we preserve the THCA as well as the CBDA that exists in the plant’s natural state. Ongoing studies are revealing that THCA and CBDA have similar antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and all the other benefits of their counterparts THC and CBD. We still think it’s a good idea to get some THC daily as well, but we’ve not put that into our Daily Dose tincture so that people can consume as much as their body needs without worrying about getting high.
Our Daily Dose is for those who want to maintain their healthy condition. Those who are suffering, or have experienced cannabinoid decline already may need to build up their endocannabinoid tone, taking the tincture a few times per day. After just a few weeks of taking our Daily Dose, people are reporting that they're sleeping better than they have in decades; that they have energy again, but also feel calm at the same time; that they’re joint pain has gone away. We expect even greater results as they continue with the Daily Dose.
Crone Grown means the plant was grown with the wisdom crones bring. We create whole plant tinctures because whole plant remedies are far more powerful and effective than the processed cannabis products largely available commercially, which tend to use synthetically created isolated cannabinoids mixed into their products. Regenerative farming practices mean we’re always feeding the soil, protecting the subterranean mycorrhizal network that nourishes all green beings, planting cover crops, not tilling, using ample compost, never using synthetic chemicals or any pesticides, and leaving the land in better shape for the next year and years to come.
