Canada's Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines 🇨🇦

Although cannabis is sometimes perceived as a relatively safe drug, it has multiple, well-documented risks to both immediate and long-term health.

However, most of these adverse health outcomes are concentrated among those who consume cannabis in high-risk ways, and the likelihood or severity of adverse outcomes can be modified through informed choices.

The main objective of Canada’s Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines (LRCUG) is to provide science-based recommendations to enable people to reduce their health risks associated with cannabis use, similar to the intent of health-oriented guidelines for low-risk drinking, nutrition or sexual behaviour.

1. The most effective way to avoid the risks of cannabis use is to abstain from use.

2. Delaying cannabis use, at least until after adolescence, will reduce the likelihood or severity of adverse health outcomes.

3. Use products with low THC content and high CBD: THC ratios.

4. Synthetic cannabis products, such as K2 and Spice, should be avoided.

5. Avoid smoking burnt cannabis and choose safer inhalation methods including vaporizers, e-cigarette devices and edibles.

6. If cannabis is smoked, avoid harmful practices such as inhaling deeply or breath-holding.

7. Avoid frequent or intensive use, and limit consumption to occasional use, such as only one day a week or on weekends, or less.

8. Do not drive or operate other machinery for at least 6 hours after using cannabis. Combining alcohol and cannabis increases impairment and should be avoided.

9. People with a personal or family history of psychosis or substance use disorders, as well as pregnant women, should NOT use cannabis at all.

10. Avoid combining any of the risk factors related to cannabis use. Multiple high-risk behaviours will amplify the likelihood or severity of adverse outcomes.

Clearly much safer ,
The chemical nightmare in those burgers , even the bread is crap , plant based is ultra processed, all crap

What pharmaceutical afraid off..

Children are the world's future.

How the world will shape in the future.

Depends on how we shape them now. 💚

Time to pass down generational healing 🌱

A study published in 2022 in the Journal of Cannabis Research states that:

Food-grade h**p seed is harvested from industrial h**p plants with less than 1% (–)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

The h**p seed is comprised of an outer hull which is high in dietary fibre and the heart (seed embryo) which is rich in protein and fats.

Whole h**p seeds are milled into h**p flour which is sequentially extracted to produce h**p oil and h**p protein concentrates/isolates which are used for food formulation.

Residues from these extractions, h**p seed cake and h**p seed meal, can also be used to fortify foods with antioxidants and dietary fibre.

Residue h**p plant biomass may also be a source of antioxidant compounds and short fibres for materials.

🌱💧A extract is a specific type of cannabis concentrate. While concentrates can be made through both various mechanical processes and the use of a solvent, extracts are unique because they are made exclusively through the use of a solvent.

THC and CBD are FDA-approved medicines 💊🧪🧬⚗️🩺

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are acronyms known to most stoners and occasional smokers. The shorthand math has always been that THC gets you blasted into space, while CBD brings relief in some way.

There is, of course, more to it than that. Swipe through to know more.
