Elevate Your Everyday:Exploring Functional Cannabis in Your Daily Life

Allow me to introduce you to my new favorite thing: “functional cannabis.”  In recent years, Medicinal cannabis has become widely accepted as a wellness tool for those living with chronic pain or illness. Public opinion on cannabis has transformed from a highly stigmatized substance to a celebrated ally in wellness. 

To that, I say “It’s about time!” 

The concept of Functional cannabis use means incorporating cannabis as a tool for enhancing your daily life and well-being. Products like midose. vape pens and melts offer curated blends that are effect-based and designed to address your physical and mental needs throughout the day. The more we understand how cannabis interacts with our body’s systems, the more we can best utilize the therapeutic properties of cannabis. How we think about cannabis and how we incorporate it into our lives is becoming more and more personal. 

And to that, I say “Hell ya!”

Sometimes, we just want to get super high and enjoy the psychoactive effects of THC. There’s nothing wrong with that, but…that’s not always the desired vibe. When we think about using cannabis functionally, it’s not just about the high effect, it’s about thoughtfully using cannabis products for specific purposes. 

It all starts with paying attention to how cannabis impacts your body.  And experimenting to find out which doses are the best at addressing your wellness goals. For example, you may find that your perfect dose for feeling energized and focused is 5mg. Maybe you feel the most relaxed and ready to unwind after 15mg. Social anxiety? A little 10mg dose may help you feel more centered and ready to mingle. 

When you pay attention to how cannabis impacts your body and mind, you’ll be able to hone in on the doses that best support your overall health and well-being - like stress relief, pain management, deeper sleep, and mood regulation.

Functional cannabis products, like midose. vape pens and melts are crafted with specific cannabinoid profiles and therapeutic ingredients to deliver targeted benefits.

How Cannabis Functions in Your Body

When it comes to function, cannabis has a lot to offer. One of the reasons cannabis can offer such a wide range of benefits is its unique ability to interact with our own Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to help regulate bodily functions - like pain management, sleep, inflammatory responses, and the immune system. The ECS works through a complex signaling system involving our body’s endocannabinoids (endo meaning “inner”) and cannabinoid receptors located throughout the central nervous system and brain. What makes the THC particularly special is its ability to lock into your ECS receptors - acting just like our own endocannabinoids.

Getting the most benefits from cannabis is all about synergy. The entourage effect is when cannabis cannabinoids act synergistically with terpenes, botanicals, and other active ingredients.  It’s also the way cannabis cannabinoids like CBD (cannabidiol), THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBN (Cannabinol), and CBG (Cannabigerol) offer the most therapeutic benefits when enjoyed together in functional cannabis blends.  

Cannabis products that are made synergistically bring out the best of Mother Nature. This is why we’re such big fans of effect-based blends designed to help you get the most out of each dose.

When it comes to exploring your relationship with functional cannabis, the best place to start is with your dosage. Each of us has our unique physical chemistry, so it stands to reason cannabis affects each of us differently.  Things like body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and sensitivity to cannabinoids can all impact how you experience cannabis. 

Since what works great for one person may not necessarily give you the same results,  it’s important to hone in on your doses. By experimenting with different dosages, you can customize your cannabis experience to suit your specific needs and preferences, ensuring a more personalized and enjoyable journey. Not to mention, when you have your consumption nailed down, you’re more likely to stick to your cannabis budget and save a little money in the long run. Who says consuming cannabis every day isn’t a good economic choice?

Understanding your responses to cannabis informs and empowers you to make decisions about the blends you love and your wellness goals. Whether you're using cannabis recreationally or therapeutically, having a clear understanding of how different doses affect you puts you in the driver’s seat, enabling you to navigate the vast array of products available on the market with confidence.
