When a person is stressed out or anxious, one of the most common things to be negatively affected is the sleep routine. Whether this means weird and vivid dreams, a shift in sleep schedule or uncomfortable bouts of insomnia, quality of sleep has likely been affected by the pandemic.

In recent weeks, the internet and other news outlets have reported a spike in strange dreams and people who can’t settle down to sleep for their usual eight hours. While the pandemic might be forcing us to talk things out more openly and consider each shift in routines to be an event, psychologists do think that fears and anxiety like the ones triggered by the coronavirus have an effect on quality of sleep.

Social distancing guidelines can contribute to feelings of anxiety and isolation. Here’s how CBD can help you cope with these emotions.

Social distancing guidelines have taken a toll on all of us, whether we’re quarantining alone or with family members. One of the worst parts of the coronavirus pandemic is that it forces us to be distanced from others, preventing us from reaching out to friends and family at a time when we need the most support. Could CBD help you cope with these moods and feelings?

The cannabis industry is a dynamic industry that is used to operating in times of uncertainty. Over the past decade, a widespread stigma around cannabis and regulatory limitations have slowly eased to produce a growing industry that is expected to hit nearly $74 billion by 2027. Despite what appeared to be an unstoppable run in recent months, the cannabis industry has not been immune from the economic impacts of the COVID19 crisis. 

If you’re someone in the U.S. who has never tried CBD, there’s probably never been a better time to get started.

The compound, for those who are not acquainted with it, is part of the cannabis plant and has been said to provide pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as help in managing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

One of the reasons why CBD has grown so popular is because it doesn’t produce psychoactive effects, making it the perfect product to reach a wide variety of people.

The snail-like pace of cannabis retail rollout in Canada’s largest province is just one reason the country as a whole has been unable to stub out the fiery illicit market and realize higher sales.

Retail stores accounted for about $200 million of Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) total recreational sales, which amounted to just shy of $300 million in 2019, chief commercial officer Cheri Mara told the Toronto Star. “I wouldn’t be honest with you if I said we were happy with that number… when our mandate is to eradicate the illicit market,” Mara said, noting the estimated Ontario market is $2.9 billion.

A new poll from one of Canada’s leading mental health organizations says Ontario residents are bracing for a mental health crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The survey from the Ontario division of the Canadian Mental Health Association is the first in a series of three questionnaires meant to gauge the impact the outbreak and its various ripple effects will have on the way Ontario residents feel and behave.

The majority of the 1,001 respondents to the online poll conducted by Pollara say they fear the effects COVID-19 will have on the national economy, the future for both older and younger generations, personal finances and the well-being of friends and family.

Before rushing to the hospital following a heart attack scare, Andrea Meharg had tried it all.

She gave prescription medications a shot, went into therapy, practised yoga and meditation. Nothing seemed to shake off the depression she had been struggling with as an elementary school teacher. “I was in a really dark place, unable to get out of bed, not being a mom to my kids,” says Meharg.

The stress and anxiety finally caught up to her. In 2016, Meharg was briefly admitted to the hospital in London, Ont. with what she presumed to be a heart attack, but turned out to be an anxiety attack. By then she was nearly 100 pounds overweight.

Smoking weed and having fun is easy. It’s only once you get to know the plant and have had different experiences with it that you start to grow interested in the details and how it can produce different effects. Although not always top of mind, there’s more to weed than the strain and THC content.

One of the biggest criticisms of Canada’s legalization of cannabis is that its cumbersome rules and limited retail options can’t compete with the black market. What would help? Allowing cannabis home deliveries from retailers to continue after the pandemic.
