Are CBD and CBDA the Same?

The cannabis industry has been one that has seen extensive growth in recent years due to changes in local laws and state government rulings across the nation. With more states voting to legalize the use of cannabis both for medical and recreational use, this has seen cannabis retail locations expand both online and off.

The CBD industry itself is a vibrant one (like many new industries are) and innovation is occurring seemingly every week. With so many new products being released, it can be hard to keep track of these innovations. When buying cannabis, you have many options for how to consume it. Some of the most popular choices for cannabis use include vapes, oils, and candy. In addition, you also have to consider the ingredients. CBD vs CBDA is another question you may have as a cannabis user. 

What is CBDA?

CBDA stands for cannabidiolic acid and is a precursor to CBD, which you may be more familiar with. CBDA is an acidic compound that when heated transforms into CBD. Notably, CBDA is processed more quickly in the human body than CBD. It is also found in many parts of the cannabis plant and is easy to extract for use.

Common Uses of CBDA

CBDA May Reduce Aches and Pains

CBDA when taken can reduce inflammation in the body similar to other over-the-counter drugs and pain relievers. This makes it useful for the treatment of ailments such as arthritis. It can also be used to reduce pain after workouts and if you suffer from headaches.

CBDA May Boost Mood

Studies show that CBD or cannabis products containing CBDA may have a greater benefit for people with common mood ailments such as depression and anxiety disorders than products with just CBD. When your brain chemistry is altered due to mental illness this can negatively impact several aspects of your life including your mood, ability to function, ability to complete common work tasks, and the ability to simply enjoy life. Cannabis products such as CBDA can be an effective addition to your treatment regimen and possibly serve as a replacement for other medications that have severe side effects.

CBDA May Improve Sleep

CBDA’s properties of reducing stress and improving your overall mood can also assist in improving your sleeping habits. Regular insomnia and inconsistent sleep patterns can have a sizable negative impact on your overall health. Simply being able to sleep soundly and consistently can greatly improve both your physical and mental health. 

CBDA May Reduce Nausea

Regular nausea can be a common symptom of many types of stomach ailments and some medical treatments such as chemotherapy for cancer treatment. Cannabis and related compounds have been shown to reduce nausea symptoms and physical response.

Final Thoughts

CBDA shares many of the benefits of CBD and can be used for many of the same situations and needs. Where CBDA differs is that it can be absorbed by the body easier and may be more potent because of this. While CBDA is still developing as a product, the results seen currently in end-user reports and professional testing are promising. If you’re looking for something new CBDA could be the product you’ve been looking for.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
