Cannabis Release Stress? Duh!

It is said, more than 10 puffs of cannabis will reduce stress radically


Yet there are many things in life that cause people stress, the key thing is how you react and manage it, and the feeling of emotional or physical tension can have serious effects on your health. It can come from any experience or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid danger or meet a deadline.

But the stress you need to be aware of is the stress that causes so many negative things to your health, and using cannabis in many different forms in stressful situations will help improve your state and counteract things like:

  • Low energy.

  • Headaches.

  • Upset stomach, including diarrhea, constipation, and nausea.

  • Aches, pains, and tense muscles.

  • Chest pain and rapid heartbeat.

  • Insomnia.

  • Frequent colds and infections.

  • Loss of sexual desire and/or ability.

  • Depression or general unhappiness.

  • Anxiety and agitation.

  • Moodiness, irritability, or anger.

  • Feeling overwhelmed.

  • Loneliness and isolation.

  • Other mental or emotional health problems.

I know there is other methods to deal with these conditions, but I can't think of a better way other than sex, to release stress, than smoking a fatty for instant effects.



Because Stress is such a big subject, affecting millions of people, and many books are written based on it, my goal is that you become aware that your body is talking to you, and using cannabis to treat this list of symptom is a guaranteed solution, well at least in my opinion and experience.


Fatigue If you are habitually tired, lack in stamina, and often feel that you don’t have any more energy left, your body is telling you that you are overstressed. You are not invincible. Sleep and restful naps are the times when your body has the opportunity to repair and regenerate. Interfering with your body’s ability to repair causes many chronic diseases, including immune system challenges such as diabetes. And I wouldn't recommend you consuming something to push beyond your bodies limits. By if you're on the midnight shift and its the last 2 hours till you're off, I use to sneak out on break and blast a bat of some delicious sativa, cherry cheese cake, Dolce Gabanna (Double sativa hybrid)or even Great White Shark. Many nights those strains did me well, provided me the energy and focus I needed to push through those last dragging hours. Now I realize that the best thing to do is to honor your body and to serve your body because you only have one, and it needs rest.


Weight Gain The other thing that shows up with a lot of people, and this is something that I had experienced over time as well, is weight gain due to a hormonal imbalance.

This imbalance takes place when you are overstressed because your body is in a constant state of fight or flight, typically people wouldn't. think cannabis would be a solution in this type of scenario, because you would think the munchies would me me even bigger. In fact it the opposite, if you were to consume the proper dose of edibles, you would prevent the start of the weight gain due to stress. The edible would satisfy not only the desired action of compulsive consumption, but with the infused product being digested, the first past effects kicks in and the THC/CBD has been absorb by every organ involved in the process, plus once it has passed into your blood, the THC/CBD reaching the rest of your body, enabling a proper hormone balance, avoiding those side effects of stress.





Mental and Sleep Issues Depression, mood swings, changes in appetite, sleep problems, and a decreased libido all may be attributed to stress. When you cannot sleep well due to stress and anxiety, you are at risk of having a panic attack. Anxiety, depression, and other emotional issues affect your quality of sleep, which in turn affects your health and your ability to heal. Some people increase alcohol and narcotic use when they are stressed, some use prescription drugs, or hard recreational drugs for relief and release, which do far more damage than help. Some people turn to food as comfort, to relieve how they are feeling. Instead of dealing with stressful issues in a natural or more organic way, such as using cannabis, people use these substances and other habits to treat their internal pain. Often, people become reliant on these substances to help them make it through the day, and if I was to have the choice of using something promoted health over destroying health, I think you know the answer. Therefore, be careful that you are not starting to crave these substances, as that could indicate a symptom of stress and addiction, and there is plenty of studies out there that prove cannabis has been used to curb addiction, it helped with mine.


If one or more of the items on this list resonate with you, it could be a good time to look at your life and assess where you really are, what you are doing to treat these conditions, and if its really safe for you. Because with my experience and knowledge, cannabis has been the saving grace for me when I have been in these stressful states, physically, mentally and spiritually.
