Some people might associate bouts of cannabis-induced hysterical laughter with the stoner stigma, but laughing actually enhances the medical benefits of cannabis in a myriad of ways. Researchers Dr. Lee Berk and Dr. Stanley Tan proved this when they found significant health benefits resulting from laughter in their [study at Loma Linda University](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090417084115.htm). \n\nIt’s fairly obvious to observe that laughter improves our mood and encourages positive thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and depression. Less obvious are the physical effects of laughter, which include a healthier heart, more effective immune system, and lower inflammatory response. When you laugh, you exercise your heart and lungs, reduce your body’s cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and release dopamines and other endorphins which lower anxiety and make you feel good. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nThe team at HelloMD believe laughter is the best medicine, especially during trying times, and they’re hosting an entire experience about it.
