Social distancing. Working and learning from home. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has changed just about every aspect of our lives. \n\nMany people around the world are relying more and more on technology to get work done and stay connected with friends and family, but [studies suggest](https://www.open.edu/openlearn/health-sports-psychology/mental-health/managing-stress-and-anxiety-the-digital-age-the-dark-side-technology)\nthat increased use of computers, smartphones, and other digital tech in these pandemic times may be harmful to the health of both body and mind.\n\nAs the pandemic drags on, and we’re spending more time online than ever, health professionals are [sounding the alarm](https://www.open.edu/openlearn/health-sports-psychology/mental-health/how-manage-the-digital-related-stress-technology?in_menu=747442) about the effects of “tech stress.” \nHere’s a look at five ways to reduce the stresses\ncaused by too much tech. The goal; keep yourself from Zoom-ing your way to ill health in these uncertain times.\n\n### What’s Tech Stress and What Can We Do About It?\n\nProfessionals, from psychologists to productivity experts, have been talking for years about the [effects of too much screen time](https://interestingengineering.com/can-technology-cause-anxiety-and-depression)\non mental and physical health.  But the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have supercharged those effects since people everywhere have been forced to turn to digital devices to accomplish things that, not too long ago, would have been done in person. \n\nThe result? Longer hours sitting in front of computer screens, a greater sense of isolation, and growing anxiety about the state of the world. \n\nThe idea of “tech stress” isn’t new, but for [author Erik Peper](https://goop.com/wellness/health/how-to-relieve-tech-stress/), it takes on new urgency in the era of COVID.  \n\n“From an evolutionary perspective, we are designed to alternate sitting, walking, sitting, activities, et cetera. Now we only sit, and it compromises our health,” he says. [Technology is largely responsible](https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/erik-peper-phd-launches-new-book-techstress-how-technology-is-hijacking-our-lives-strategies-for-coping-and-pragmatic-ergonomics/) for the amount of time we spend sitting, either at a computer for work, or streaming video and scrolling through social media posts on a smartphone for fun.  And it also affects our brains, effectively wiring them in new ways.\n\nSome research has shown that spending too much time online affects the ability to focus and concentrate. The “always-on” nature of the Internet and social media can be so stimulating that real life seems boring and dull by comparison.  \n\nAnd in a physical sense, [blue light from computer screens](https://www.bettervisionguide.com/blue-light-eye-damage/) can stress the eyes and even affect circadian rhythms that govern normal sleep and waking cycles. That’s why people who spend time on smartphones or computers just before bed often have disrupted sleep or have trouble falling asleep.\n\nSocial media, too, [has been shown](https://www.mcleanhospital.org/essential/it-or-not-social-medias-affecting-your-mental-health) to contribute to anxiety and depression. Social media use has risen among most demographic groups during the pandemic, allowing people to stay connected with family, friends, and colleagues. \n\nBut psychologists caution that spending too much time on social media can cause negative comparisons with other people and FOMO, or fear of missing out. FOMO causes anxiety when you view or read about the fantastic adventures and experiences other people are having, and you’re not. Some research indicates that people can feel more isolated, not less, when they spend a lot of time on social media sites.\n\n### Working at Home Can Cause More Stress\nA [recent survey](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/28/remote-work-burnout-is-growing-as-coronavirus-pandemic-stretches-on.html) reveals that 69 percent of people forced to work at home due to coronavirus restrictions were experiencing symptoms of burnout, stress, and anxiety.  \n\n[Working from home](https://www.verywellmind.com/the-stress-of-working-from-home-4141174) offers definite benefits, including a flexible schedule, no commute, and the option of working in comfy clothes. But as people struggle to balance work and home life and spend longer hours at the computer than ever before, they’re sleeping less, worrying more. This puts mental and physical health at risk.\n\nWorking from home can blur the distinction between work and home life. Without a regular schedule and rituals to signal a shift from work to home, many of today’s new telecommuters find themselves in work mode all the time. You may be answering emails, finishing projects, and conducting Zoom meetings at all hours instead of taking a break for relaxation and time with friends or family. \n\nHomeworkers struggle with distractions and a lack of a dedicated workspace. Sitting at a desk or table all day causes muscle stiffness and circulation problems, and staring at screens late at night strains the eyes and disturbs sleep.  Homeworkers worry about finances, productivity, and a lack of free time while keeping up with daily tasks and helping children with online learning. \n\nToo much sitting and computer time can affect our health in many ways, but there’s a long list of things you can do to change that.  \n\nHere are five ways to tame the tech stress in your life.\n\n### Move More \n\nErik Peper points out that when people sit too long at a computer, their muscles tense and stiffen, and they slump, which makes it hard to breathe properly.  \n\nPay attention to your posture – sit up straight, with feet flat on the floor. Take movement breaks to stretch, walk, or even do a quick 10 to 15 minute workout throughout your day.  \n\nIt’s estimated that all you need is [11 minutes of exercise](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/02/well/move/exercise-sitting-longevity.html) to offset a day spent sitting. Consider walking out into nature, too – that can help ground you in the real world and break the hold of technology for a few minutes. Moving the legs activates the “second heart” – the leg muscles that help to pump blood back to the heart.\n\n### Set Limits Around Technology.  \n\nSome wellness experts recommend putting strict limits on the time you spend using technologies like smartphones. Turn off your phone and exit screens at least half an hour before bedtime. Set specific times for checking email and returning calls and messages, and consider leaving your phone in another room or turning it off before going to bed.\n\nEstablish a regular quitting time for work, and make a special effort to do things that aren’t computer-related.  Activities involving movement and the hands, such as cooking, playing a sport or musical instrument, or crafts, can help rebalance the entire body.\n\n### Take Time to Breathe  \n\nLong hours at the computer, especially if you’re slumping or slouching, can compress the diaphragm, so that your breathing becomes shallow.  \n\nSet a reminder to stop and take a few deep breaths throughout the workday and work in clothing that’s loose around the waist. A [simple breathing practice](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/the-health-benefits-of-breathwork-for-the-body-and-mind) can be meditative and help to reduce anxiety.\n\n### Try Blue Light Blockers for Sleep\n\nYou don’t need a prescription for computer glasses that filter out harsh blue light from computer screens. Consider adding a screen filter to your computer and setting phone and tablet screens to night mode after dark to reduce blue light effects on sleep.  And when you’re working, take frequent breaks to rest your eyes. Look into the distance and be sure to blink several times. \n\n### Consider Cannabis\n \nThe many compounds in cannabis, [especially cannabidiol, or CBD](https://www.hellomd.com/articles/diy-recipe:-our-stress-busting-cbd-infused-green-smoothie), can help to quell anxiety and promote relaxation.  \n\nTry a CBD tincture or oil, or a few cannabis edibles to calm down after work.  Or smoke a relaxing cannabis strain to transition out of work and into “home time” away from devices and the workday's tensions.\n\nFrom Zoom meetings to virtual school, today’s digital technologies help keep life moving during the pandemic, but they come with risks. Managing “tech stress” is key to staying well in these strange times, with straightforward strategies anyone can do.","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5037593984962405,"src":"/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/ee604/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.png","srcSet":"/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/69585/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.png 200w,\n/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/497c6/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.png 400w,\n/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/ee604/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.png 800w,\n/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/f3583/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.png 1200w","srcWebp":"/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/58556/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/61e93/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.webp 200w,\n/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/1f5c5/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.webp 400w,\n/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/58556/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.webp 800w,\n/static/e7da0cb65f74b899ace1a0c33d575b91/99238/36b7332feab4278de1f1a0d8e23c4e94.webp 1200w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Article_2315-markdown","title":"Top 11 Health Benefits of Marijuana","slug":"top-11-health-benefits-of-marijuana","content":"Cannabis has moved out of the grey area and into its rightful position as a part of a healthy approach to overall wellness. In fact, a recent study released from Duke University and the University of Arizona found that [long-term marijuana use didn’t lead to a decline in health](http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2526003). In this study, 1,000 participants from New Zealand were tracked over a 40-year period, each with a minimum of 20 years of consistent cannabis consumption—smoking, specifically. \n\nThe study found no decline in lung function as well as no increase in high blood pressure or diabetes. Nor did it detect any other deterioration in physical health. The one caveat to the study was that the researchers found high levels of gum disease among the study participants. That said, this is a factor that could very well decrease as people move away from smoking marijuana towards vaporizing cannabis as well as consuming edibles or using cannabis-infused topical products. \n\nIn addition, no similarities were found between those who engaged in long-term tobacco smoking versus long-term marijuana smoking. Avshalom Capsi, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University and the co-author of the study, said that “overall damage to physical health is not apparent in this study.” \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### Top 11 Reasons Why Marijuana Is Good for You\n\nThis study adds new scientific evidence to the thousands of years of anecdotal evidence, which show that cannabis isn’t bad for your health, nor can it kill you. Meanwhile, 595,690 deaths a year in the U.S. alone are attributed to tobacco. What we’re now finding is that cannabis provides a variety of health benefits for both healthy individuals and those struggling with various illnesses. \n\nHere are 11 key—and sometimes surprising—benefits of cannabis.\n\n### Benefit #1: Cannabis Regulates Metabolism & Weight Loss\n\nA survey conducted at Nunavik Inuit Health in 2004 found that the 57.4% of people in the survey, who said they used cannabis, had a lower average percentage of fat mass, body mass index and fasting insulin levels. There were statistically significant differences between the groups of people who self-reported as smoking cannabis compared to those who didn’t. \n\nSmoking cannabis in the last year was associated with a 56% lower likelihood of obesity. This is just one of the many studies that ties lower rates of obesity to cannabis consumers. Researchers found that cannabis consumers’ waists are 1.5 inches smaller on average than that of non-cannabis users. Cannabis is believed to help regulate your metabolism, also making it a factor in lowering the risk of diabetes. \n\nIn addition, for a number of folks, cannabis can get people off the couch and moving—whether it’s on the road or in the gym. In fact, some claim that marijuana increases athletic performance, for long-distance runners and swimmers in particular. Some athletes claim that it improves focus and the ability to push past previous limitations.\n\n![One benefit of marijuana: regulating metabolism & improving sports performance](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/588fcc137bf61c000cbbd136/embedded_images/588fcc167bf61c000cbbd138/Screen_Shot_2017-01-30_at_3.20.53_PM.png)\n_One of the many benefits of marijuana is improved sports performance, especially in long-distance running._\n \n### Benefit #2: Marijuana Helps Alleviate Depression\n\nDepression is one of the most common medical conditions in the world. In a 2015 study from the University of Buffalo, RIA senior research scientist Samir Haj-Dahmane, Ph.D., said, “In the animal models we studied, we saw that chronic stress reduced the production of endocannabinoids, leading to depression-like behavior.”\n\nThis means that cannabis can be used to supplement endocannabinoids lacking within our system, helping the body return to homeostasis and in turn reducing levels of depression. Cannabis also aids in relieving stress, which is one of the biggest risk factors for depression. \n\n### Benefit #3: Cannabis Slows the Development of Alzheimer’s Disease\n\nAlzheimer’s disease is currently the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. It also causes mental disability for those afflicted many years prior to death. A study published in the _Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease_ in September 2014 found that, “THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) could be a potential therapeutic treatment option for Alzheimer’s disease through multiple functions and pathways.” This is believed to be due to the neuroprotective and antioxidant qualities of cannabis. \n\n### Benefit #4: Cannabis Relieves Arthritis\n\nArthritis is one of the leading causes of physical disability in the world. And it’s one of the most common kinds of chronic pain that people experience. The first recorded use of cannabis to help heal arthritis was in China nearly 4,000 years ago.\n\nTetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active compound in most strains of marijuana, has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, cannabidiol (CBD), which is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, helps regulate autoimmune conditions like arthritis.\n\n### Benefit #5: Marijuana Eases Chronic Pain\n\nOne of the most common reasons people miss work and have a decreased quality of life is due to various types of chronic pain. From PMS cramps to headaches to back pain, many people are debilitated by daily, overwhelming pain. Due to its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, cannabis can help reduce pain whether it’s applied in the form of a topical or consumed orally. Cannabis consumption can also help greatly decrease the need for harsh, addictive opioids. \n\n![Marijuana eases chronic pain](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/588fcc137bf61c000cbbd136/embedded_images/588fccc42cf8a800084e13fc/Screen_Shot_2017-01-30_at_3.30.09_PM.png)\n_One of the benefits of cannabis is that it can relieve pain. Learn what the top strains for chronic pain are._\n \n### Benefit #6: Marijuana Lowers Blood Pressure\n\nOne-third of adults in the United States have high blood pressure or hypertension. This can lead to cardiovascular disease as well as strokes or heart attacks. Tobacco is one of the most common causes for high blood pressure, along with poor diet and lack of exercise.\n\nThere are a wide range of scientific and anecdotal studies to support how cannabis decreases blood pressure. Some researchers also believe that cannabinoids may have a protective role within the body, also leading to a decrease in blood pressure. \n\n### Benefit #7:  Marijuana Supports Recovery From Eating Disorders\n\nEating disorders are becoming an increasingly large problem across the world as many young people are exposed to constant media and peer pressure to be unattainably beautiful and thin. Cannabis can help regulate eating patterns, aiding with recovery from conditions like bulimia and other binge disorders.\n\nIt can also help stimulate appetite and regain a desire to eat in individuals with eating disorders like anorexia. Cannabis can also help reduce anxiety—both social and food related, which can lead many people down the path of eating disorders.\n\n### Benefit #8: Cannabis Provides Relief to PTSD Sufferers\n\nVeterans have become one of the most vocal supporters of cannabis legalization due to the incredible relief that cannabis can provide to people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Consuming cannabis can help reduce the stress and anxiety that PTSD sufferers struggle with every day. It also reduces the need for harder opioids and medications that can often worsen the symptoms of PTSD.\n\n### Benefit #9: Cannabis Reduces Nausea\n\nMany people experience nausea on a regular basis, whether it’s due to digestive problems, migraines or chemotherapy. Marijuana reacts with brain receptors to help regulate the feelings that are often associated with nausea.\n\nIt can also help decrease stomach pain and regulate your body’s digestive processes—as digestive issues often go hand in hand with feelings of nausea. Cannabis can also help stimulate appetite if people find themselves unable to hold food down, because they’re experiencing queasiness and an unsettled stomach. \n\n### Benefit #10: CBD Can Reduce Seizure Activity\n\nCBD, the non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in marijuana, can greatly reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. Medical marijuana legalization has been pushed through in many states due to the incredible effects that cannabis has on seizures.\n\nA study from the American Academy of Neurology published in 2015 found that there was, on average, a 51% decrease in the amount of seizures people experienced while using medical cannabis, as well as a 63% decrease in seizures for patients who had Dravet’s syndrome.\n\nA specific marijuana strain, Charlotte’s Web, was created particularly for a young girl who experienced extreme seizures. The strain is still widely used due to its effectiveness and lack of psychoactive side effects. \n\n![Another benefit of marijuana: It makes us feel good](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/588fcc137bf61c000cbbd136/embedded_images/588fcc157bf61c000cbbd137/Screen_Shot_2017-01-30_at_3.13.41_PM.png) \n_Another benefit of marijuana, specifically THC, is that it produces feelings of happiness._ \n\n### Benefit #11: Cannabis Makes You Happy\n\nLastly, for the vast majority of people, [marijuana induces a sense of euphoria and calm](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/582b86cce686fc000c657034/why-does-cannabis-make-you-feel-good). Happiness, or a general sense of well-being is something that everyone wants. Scientific studies show a connection between happiness, optimism and overall life satisfaction.\n\nCannabis activates a neurotransmitter in our brain called anandamide—also called the bliss molecule. This molecule, among other things, is responsible for making us feel happy. THC is responsible for stimulating anandamide, which is found both within our body as well as within cannabis itself.\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

She wanted to buy one right away and take it home to try. “Whoa, Mary” we said. “Let’s talk about how this might work for you.”\n\nWe spent about twenty minutes counseling Mary. We learned about her history of THC use (none). We talked about the value of trying different ratios of the two most prominent cannabinoids, CBD and THC. We discussed how dosing is different for everyone and that the patient has to find the right dose.\n\nMary was very happy to have the information. She thanked us and walked out with a 60 mg (thc) strawberry- banana sucker, in a zip-lock bag for storage between uses. “Mary! Keep in touch and let us know how it worked for you!” We called out as she practically sprinted out the door. Two days later, Mary comes back to report the bad and the good news. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nThe first night she did exactly what Grace did: She sucked on the sucker for 30 seconds, putting it back in the zip-lock bag on her night stand. She slept like a baby until about 3 am and then woke up “higher than a kite” as she put it. Gulp. Not the result she wanted.\n\nBut Mary, being a scientifically-minded woman, tried sucking on the candy the following night for only 10 seconds. Bingo! She slept like a baby till morning, with no fog-brain or “dopey” feeling. Mary had found her dose!\n\n### One Third of US Adults Experience Insomnia\n\nOf the many negative health effects of living in a stress-drenched culture, the most common has got to be insomnia. One-third of all adults in the U.S. report that they experience insomnia at one time or another with an estimated one billion sufferers worldwide. Two times as many women as men are affected and over half the people with insomnia are over 65 years old.\n\nPeople seeking insomnia remedies will spend $32 billion annually on products or techniques to help them get to sleep and stay asleep. They are desperate and for good reason. Lack of sleep impacts quality of life in many ways. It increases irritability, lack of concentration, depression, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, among other things.\n\nRELATED: [MEDICAL MARIJUANA EASES INSOMNIA](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/55959b7130633100060c0000/no-longer-sleepless-in-seattle-medical-marijuana-eases-insomnia)\n\n### The Cannabis Cure?\n\nAfter years of working with patients suffering from insomnia, we advocate using traditional herbs such as cannabis that have been used for many centuries to help people relax, get to sleep and stay asleep. We now know that the hundred known cannabinoids (chemical compounds) in the plant are most effective when they work together, and in combination with the terpenes and flavonoids also present in the plant. Finding the right combination, and the right dosage, is the goal of every patient, when possible with the help of an experienced cannabis patient counselor.\n\nRELATED DEAL: [25% OFF FIRST PURCHASE WITH TRUE FARMA](http://truefarma.com/hello-md/)\n\n### Dosing & Delivery\n\nWe recommend micro-dosing THC through the membrane of the mouth. Try using suckers, candies, oil and tinctures – any delivery system that enters the blood stream through the oral mucosa -- in order to transport those healing cannabinoids to our body’s endocannabinoid receptors.\n\nMicro-dosing is critical. Most patients do not want to experience psychoactivity. That “high” feeling usually keeps people awake. THC is a great relaxation herb in low doses. But the rule should be “go low, go slow” with all THC-dominant medicines. THC is even more effective when combined with CBD, cannabidiol. In combination with THC, CBD can mitigate against some of the possible psychoactive effects of THC, and bring calm and clarity to the mind.\n\n### Simple Rules to Follow...\n\nHerbal medicine is different for everyone. EVERY INDIVIDUAL is a unique organism, requiring different ratios of chemical compounds in their cannabis medicine, different doses, different delivery systems. Figure out what works best for you.\n\nTake the holistic approach. Look at every aspect of your life to identify the root causes of your sleeplessness such as stress, worry, and anxiety. Start to imaginatively address the root causes while you are treating your daily symptoms sensibly.\n\nMany natural responses to sleep issues are effective: These include the full spectrum from acupuncture to yoga, herbs like Ashwaganda and chamomile tea, massage, mindfulness-based therapies including meditation, Tai Chi and Qi Gong, exercise and healthy eating habits. Sometimes a simple thing like not drinking caffeine after 2 pm can make all the difference (or quitting caffeine and sugar entirely).\n\nAvoid those treatments that cause harm. Most pharmaceuticals come with side effects. Is it worth compromising your liver or kidney function by becoming dependent on chemicals that also leave you with fog- brain, constipation, depression, and worse?\n\nTake charge of your health. Consider placing traditional medicines such as cannabis herbs at the center of your treatment. You will be glad you did.\n\n_____________________________________________________________________\n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56201c206430320006bb0000/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Some of the most prominent medical properties of cannabis are its pain fighting and anti-inflammatory abilities, but marijuana is also full of cannabinoids, terpenes and antioxidants that help promote health and wellness. Many proponents of cannabis also advocate that cannabis can be an important component for a healthy lifestyle.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### The Endocannabinoid System\n\nThe [endocannabinoid system](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/what-is-the-endocannabinoid-system) is one of the largest and most extensive systems found in the body. Endocannabinoid receptors assist the body in maintaining homeostasis by aiding in the bodies’ response to internal and external stimuli. Stimulating the endocannabinoid system through consuming cannabis can create balance, encourage creativity, and promote calm or alert feelings. \n\n### Creativity, Patience & Spirituality\n\nOne of the biggest advocates of using cannabis for wellness is Steve DeAngelo, the founder of Harborside Health Center in California. DeAngelo has long been a cannabis advocate and has continued to educate people on marijuana while running the largest medical marijuana dispensary in the world. In a [Harborside blog post](https://www.shopharborside.com/learn/wellness-not-intoxication.html#) by DeAngelo he says: \n\n\"Benefits [of cannabis] can include the ability to spark creativity, extend patience and promote self-examination; to awaken a sense of wonder and playfulness, an openness to spiritual experience; the ability to enhance the flavor of a meal, the sound of music, or the sensitivity of a lover’s touch; to open the mind; to bring poetry to language and spontaneity to a performer; to catalyze laughter, facilitate friendship, and bridge human differences.\" It seems much like eating healthy and exercising, cannabis can help round out your personal wellness regime. \n\nRELATED: [CANNABIS: THE NEW HEALTH FOOD TREND](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/57d7299fb35dd8000b68ccaf/cannabis-the-new-health-food-trend)\n\nCannabis can improve wellness by creating a positive and relaxed environment where you can embrace and enjoy life to the fullest. Wellness is about all the feelings that are encompassed in an  improved mindset and well being, rather than a direct medical benefit like reducing the sensation of pain. Cannabis can help you live in the moment and free yourself from the burdens of daily life. Sometimes it is hard to compartmentalize your feelings, especially during trying times, but cannabis can help aid you in freeing yourself from excess baggage, allowing you to relax and enjoy the events going on around you. \n\n### Enhancing Everyday Activities\n\nIn addition, cannabis can help enhance the activities that may be important to you. Similar to what DeAngelo alludes to, marijuana can help you listen to music in a way that allows you to fully experience the moment. You can feel the melodies as you listen intently to all of the words, rather than just enjoying music on a surface level. \n\nMarijuana can help you enjoy food and the process of cooking on a deeper level by allowing you to slow down and taste every element of your meal. Even for people who enjoy cooking, sometimes it can just be a matter of getting food on the table, but with the addition of marijuana it can turn back into a stress-relieving creative outlet. \n\nSometimes it is also hard to fully enter a centered state while participating in activities like yoga and meditation. One of the ways that cannabis can help improve your wellness is by clearing your mind of unnecessary thoughts and allowing you to experience the moment. Cannabis can help you deepen into stretches and postures while truly focusing on your breathing, instead of what you need to pick up at the grocery store after your class. This ability for internal focus is one of the truly amazing ways that cannabis can be used to promote wellness in your life. \n\n### Wellness vs. Intoxication\n\nUsing cannabis for wellness is far different than using cannabis for intoxication, meaning it's not just about getting stoned. When consuming cannabis for wellness it is crucial to consume it consciously, based on what part of your world you are attempting to elevate by using marijuana. It is important to understand the products and the form of cannabis you are using, and how that can help steer you towards or away from your desired goals. Using cannabis for wellness is not simply about achieving a certain feeling, but it is about using cannabis as a tool too enhance the world around you and bring you stimulation, balance, focus, and happiness. \n\n_____________________________________________________________________\n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Outset focuses on healthy dried fruit edibles dosed in manageable 5mg to 10mg micro serving sizes. In his first post, Nick talks about his journey to health with edibles and his company’s dedication to wellness through yoga + cannabis classes.\r\n\r\n**My Journey into Edibles**\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been to a dispensary, you have seen them, the homemade plastic wrapped cannabis cookie or brownie edible sitting on the display table. They’re sugar laden, improperly labeled and seem designed to put you in a coma if you’re an edibles newbie. After having my own horrible edibles trip, I dreamed of creating a new breed of edibles designed to integrate with a normal every day lifestyle, without causing whole-day-couch-lock. My new-world edible would be micro-dosed, so you wouldn’t need to worry about eating too much. Lastly, my fantasy edible would be healthy, organic, and cater to an active lifestyle community of cannabis consumers. Living in San Francisco, I knew this community existed.\r\n\r\nMy personal mission became to create an all natural, vegan edible that could be easily dosed and enjoyed everyday. After enduring multiple sports injuries, which required numerous knee surgeries, I found myself using too many pharmaceutical prescriptions. Wanting to both alleviate pain as well as stay physically fit, I started looking for pain management alternatives. The result is Outset, the company I created that manufactures a high-quality, low dose (5-10mg per serving) dried fruit edible. I knew if I could support my own physical recovery and mental wellness, hopefully I could help others as well.\r\n\r\n**Cannabis & Yoga Pairing**\r\n\r\nFrom the Outset’s beginning, our team felt passionate about nurturing the mind, body and spirit. Early on we chose to focus on education within the community of wellness minded patients. Several months ago we launched Outset’s first yoga/cannabis focused event to educate patients on specific products and strains of cannabis that pair well with various yoga sequences. Yoga is an amazing practice that seeks to connect the body with the mind. The end goal is not only physical wellness but the relaxation of the mind as well as connection to your inner bliss. The pairing of yoga and cannabis might seem like a bizarre combination, but cannabis and yoga enthusiasts often are seeking the same body-mind-connection result. We believe a yoga/cannabis pairing can display how cannabis consumers can combine a meditative practice with a physical one, such as yoga, while using cannabis.\r\n\r\nFor our first yoga/cannabis event, our focus was on the combination of cannabis with yoga in a comfortable and nurturing environment. Our class, called ‘VinyaSativa’, is a vinyasa flow paired with sativa dominant products meant to energize patients while at the same time creating a sense of equilibrium. The events success led us to create a more relaxed and nurturing sequence. ‘Yindica’, our new restorative yin sequence class, is now on offer and our yogi patients are paired with indica dominant products, which have a more meditative effect overall.  \r\n\r\n**Cannabis & Yoga: a San Francisco Vibe**\r\n\r\nOur classes have been extremely well attended and yogis have sung their praises regarding the physical and emotional wellness they feel after a yoga/cannabis pairing event. Many people comment that they feel a deeper relaxation and sense of mental clarity. Our journey has only just begun as we continue to grow our class offering in our continuing community outreach efforts. \r\n\r\nCannabis infused yoga classes hosted by Outset are held at [YogabeachSF](http://www.yogabeachsf.com/) studio in San Francisco, CA.
