Do you find stepping into summer after quarantine overwhelming or exhausting? Of course, you can wear light-colored clothes, spend your day by the pool, have those remarkable cool drinks. After staying at home for months, it is time to get some vitamin D too.
Summertime also brings several ailments with itself. However, I guess a cannabis user has nothing to worry about. YES! Cannabis can really help us in dealing with summertime issues like sunburn, bug bites, heat, etc.
Cannabis is legal in many parts of the United States. As per the prevailing law- if you are in San Francisco, a Medical Marijuana card in San Francisco is required to buy cannabis from a national dispensary.
Anyways, coming back to our summertime after quarantine- it is a sweet, sweet summertime! Even though we cannot go out on public beaches to cool ourselves, we have a natural herb to rescue us! Here is how CBD can help during summers.
Sunburn
It is natural to burn your skin if you spend too much time outside under the sun. Honestly, they hurt real bad; there is no sugarcoating it. But, switch how we treat our sunburn this year. No more spending money on aloe! Let us try CBD for relief.There is no clinical evidence proving that cannabis or its products can help treat sunburn specifically. However, certain studies show that CBD, a derivative of the cannabis plant, is really effective in combating several skin issues; and managing pain and inflammation.
CBD is available in forms of oil and topicals. So, you can apply CBD about two times a day to relieve yourself from troublesome sunburn!
Better Sleep
With the changing seasons, our sleep patterns and cycle also changes. Most people complain of not having enough sleep during summer because of the unbearing temperature. The extreme heat makes it impossible to have a good night’s sleep.This is where cannabis comes to rescue. Various studies and a few clinical evidence say that cannabis is effective for better sleep. Nonetheless, one thing to keep in mind is that cannabis does not induce sleep. It merely aids you to deal with the reasons behind the loss of sleep, which indirectly produces sleep.
THC, a cannabinoid found in cannabis, is responsible for such psychoactive effects, including reducing stress and anxiety. This compound aims to reduce REM sleep. And less REM sleep means fewer dreams- implying “deep sleep”.
Bug Bites
Depending upon where you live, mosquitoes and other bugs can be really annoying during summers. Luckily, you do not have to suffer this year. Get yourself a CBD oil to treat bug bites.Mosquito or bug bites lead to inflammation, swelling, and redness in the skin. Topical CBD can help in the reduction of all these signs of bug bites. Apply it about twice a day, and you will see a significant reduction in swelling, inflammation, and itchiness.
Cooling Down
Another battle summer brings with itself is to stay cool! You cannot literally spend your entire day in a pool. So, you have to find other ways to keep yourself hydrated and cool. Also, living without an air conditioner is like a nightmare.Now, of course, cannabis can neither be turned into ice nor its application makes you feel cool. However, you can mix a little amount of cannabis in ice cream and popsicles. Along with staying cool, the hot day will soon feel better.
Chilling Out
The widespread of the novel coronavirus had made it impossible for us to step outside of our house for several months. It is becoming impossible to stay inside and do nothing. You are sitting staring at the news channels and hearing about deaths and casualties only. It is bound to stress you out.So, seek a few cannabis and get rid of these quarantine blues. Whether you are worried or stressed, take out a little time and choose your favorite cannabis strain to mellow yourself out!
