For those who suffer from anxiety, finding an effective treatment can take some trial and error. Anxiety is the body’s natural response to stress, but for some, it can be overwhelming and even debilitating. Anxiety is also very common — a 2016 study found that one in 10 Canadians used health services annually for mood and anxiety disorders. 

In recent years, cannabidiol — or CBD — has been touted as a potentially effective tool to battle gut-churning, restlessness, and the worries that often accompany bouts of anxiety.

Things certainly did not go as expected for cannabis stock investors in 2019. Following a first quarter that yielded incredible returns, pot stocks spent the remaining nine months of the year retracing their steps. A combination of high tax rates on weed in the U.S., supply issues in Canada, and a persistent black market pushed most cannabis stocks into steep losses last year.

New industry reports highlight how nanoemulsion is revolutionising cannabis products.

The past few years have seen a whole host of new cannabis products hitting the market following the relaxation of prohibition laws across the globe – and one product is proving to be a trend that is gaining traction.

Recent industry reports show that the recreational cannabis beverage industry is on the rise, and nanoemulsion-infused beverages are leading to the development of drinkable cannabis products that are both potent and fast acting.

Breastfeeding can cause concern for many nursing mothers, and those that need to use medical cannabis will wonder whether it will be harmful to their baby.

As more countries legalise recreational and medical cannabis use, and increasingly decriminalise cannabis, the risk to the growth and development of breastfeeding infants whose mothers use cannabis becomes a growing public health concern.

Research suggests marijuana can help you fall asleep, but habitual use could lead to some problems.

Between 50 to 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders or intermittent sleep issues, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Around 30 to 40% of us will develop insomnia at some point in our lives as well. Sleep problems don’t just impact work performance and stress management. Drowsy driving results in 1,500 deaths and 100,000 car crashes each year.

There are lessons to be learned north of the border when it comes to marijuana. Unfortunately, for Canadians, many have to do with what you should not do. 

Since Canada legalized adult use marijuana in October 2018, that nation has experienced a host of problems that offer insight for both entrepreneurs and government officials. Forewarned is forearmed, and the United States has plenty to learn with national legalization in Canada.

Cannabis in beauty products? Sounds like a good idea, considering our increasing awareness of the plant’s wellness potential.

The beauty industry is one of the fastest-growing industries. Snake venom, snail mucus, and many other unusual ingredients became part of our everyday skincare routine in no time. The same goes for cannabis.

In order to get the maximum effect from their products, many companies started adding cannabis into them, allowing users to feel the full cosmetic potential of the plant.

As the popularity of cannabis grows, it’s become normal to go to the most popular shops and find a body lotion with CBD oil among beauty products.

Two recently published studies from California-based non-profit research organization RAND Corporation revealed very interesting data.

The first research deals with why young adults living in Los Angeles County acquire medical cannabis cards.

The second study provides data on how the neighborhood density and storefront signage of medical cannabis dispensaries influence consumption rates and associations among the youth.

As the end of January, approaches we are seeing that marijuana stocks are showing a bit more promise. With the new year underway, it seems as though there is a lot to look forward to. With 2019 ending on a slightly higher note than the rest of the year, many are waiting for pot stocks to begin a climb toward the future. 2019 was quite a tough year for marijuana stocks with many companies in the cannabis industry shooting down by substantial amounts in terms of value and market cap. 

CBD is the latest wellness trend, one that makes appearances in the most unlikely products.

The use of CBD in the health and wellness products has been shown to be helpful in relieving pain and inflammation, as well as functioning as a natural sleep aid. However, in order for CBD to be effective, it needs to be taken either orally or topically in a manner where the CBD can actually get absorbed into the body.
