Holiday Season Self-Care and Medical Cannabis

With the Holidays fast approaching, it’s important keep stress low and spirits high. Here are some cannabis products that may help you achieve this Often elusive balance.

We understand that there are many challenges that can crop up during the winter holidays. From stressful travel arrangements to hosting large family get togethers, it’s natural that tense situations can arise. Finding those fleeting moments to sit back or simply take a breath is incredibly important during these winter months.

Discreet Relief

For those of us for whom discreetness is key, vaporizers may be a great way to get the benefits of cannabis quickly, quietly, and nearly odor-free.  Depending on what you’re looking to use it for, there are many different vape options that offer a wide variety of effects.

If you’re looking for a vaporizer to help with stress throughout the day then something with low levels of THC and higher levels of CBD may help you keep a clear head while helping the body and mind to relax. Look for something with a ratio of 2:1 – 10:1 to be strong enough without causing intoxication.
