How to Choose the Right Cannabinoid Products for you Goals

With the rising popularity of cannabinoid products, it can be difficult to know which ones are right for you. Cannabinoids are a group of compounds found in cannabis and hemp plants that interact with your body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to produce therapeutic effects. There are many different types of cannabinoids available and each one produces unique benefits. In this blog post, we will discuss how to select the right cannabinoid products for your goals.

Understand Your Endocannabinoid System

The first step towards choosing the right cannabinoid product is understanding how your endocannabinoid system works. The ECS is composed of naturally occurring substances called endocannabinoids, as well as their receptors. These receptors help regulate a variety of bodily functions such as mood, appetite, sleep, pain perception, and immunity. When cannabinoids from external sources interact with these receptors, they can have therapeutic effects on our bodies.

Research Different Cannabinoids

Once you understand how your ECS works, it’s important to conduct research into the different types of cannabinoids that are available. There are over 100 known cannabinoids so it’s important to narrow down which ones best fit your needs. Some popular cannabinoids include THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabidiol), CBG (cannabigerol), CBC (cannabichromene), and CBN (cannabinol). Research shows that each one has its own unique benefits so you should consider which ones would be most suitable for your goals before making a purchase decision.

For example, if you’re looking for general wellness benefits then CBD might be a good option since it has been shown to reduce inflammation and anxiety without producing psychoactive effects like THC does. On the other hand, if you’re looking for more specific therapeutic effects than CBG or CBC could be beneficial since they have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties as well as antidepressant and neuroprotective benefits.

Cannabinoid Therapy Selection Guide

Keep in mind that each cannabinoid has its own unique set of properties, but everyone's body responds differently to cannabinoid therapy.

• CBC: Best for acne, inflammation, depressive mood disorders, dementia, and neurological conditions. Gives an intoxicating and uplifting feel.
• CBG: Ideal for chronic pain and inflammation, gastrointestinal imbalances, cell damage, bone growth, inattentiveness, and nerve complications. Gives an intoxicating and clarifying fee
• CBN: Helpful for staying focused (specifically hyperactivity), restlessness, and overall relaxation. Great for pain relief in high doses. Gives a non-intoxicating and grounding feel.
• Delta 9 THC: Most well-known THC. THC and CBD 1:1 ratios are great for individuals with anxiety, pain, sleep, and general relaxation. Gives a head and body high.
• Delta 8 THC: Good for unwinding, relieving stress, and those who prefer a mild intoxication compared to delta 9 THC. Gives a head and body high with a heavier body high. Euphoric and calming.
• Delta 10: Perfect for low energy, focus, and motivation. Gives a head buzz without much of a body high.
• HHC: Ideal for those experienced with cannabinoid therapy and struggling with severe pain or mood disorders. Gives a very intoxicating, relaxing feel with a mild euphoria.
• Full Spectrum CBD: Great for anxiety and/or mood disorders, sleep disorders, neuropathy, hormonal imbalances, and general wellness. Gives a non-intoxicating and calming feel.
• Isolate CBD: Best for those subject to drug tests, have a CDL or are sensitive to THC. Popular choice for children on the spectrum dealing with issues from mood, energy, and focus. Can take a higher dose without other cannabinoids influencing. Gives a non-intoxicating and calming feel.
• Broadspectrum CBD: Great for those sensitive to THC but requiring more than an isolate CBD. The entourage effect created in broadspectrum CBD may be more beneficial than just CBD isolate alone. Gives a non-intoxicating and calming feel.
