Medicinal qualities of Hash

Used for thousands of years for both medicinal and religious reasons by Arabic and Hindu cultures, hash is one of the purest forms of THC. Hash consists of the trichomes from the cannabis plant which are the THC-rich, resinous material that glistens on the outside of the plant’s flowers and leaves.Since hash has been around for so long and is widely used in different cultures, the process for making it can differ slightly. The general process for making hash includes stripping the trichomes from the plant matter and then compressing them into variety of forms such as balls, cakes, or cookie-like sheets. Hash is sold in solid pieces ranging in color from light brown to red to black; the texture also varies from dry and brittle to soft and crumbly.  Along with smoking, hash can also be ingested. Hash is notably stronger than smoking marijuana by itself;while marijuana alone tests at around 20 percent THC potency, hash tests anywhere from 60 to 70 percent. Being derived from the marijuana flowers, hash has similar medicinal effects. The benefit of hash comes from its strong potency which makes it very effective in reducing body pain, increasing appetite stimulation, and aiding in sleep. A small amount of hash can be used to get an array of medicinal benefits; this makes hash appealing to those who are on strong prescription medications wanting an alternative and more natural source of relief. For more information about hash and its effects please feel free to ask a Green Room staff member. To get $20 gram (usually $30) of our hash please mention this blog when you come in to shop!

Let’s Talk TOPICALS…

Did you know that cannabis can be infused into topical creams and salves? These increasingly popular products are perfect for the patient who does not want to smoke or ingest their medical marijuana. Rather than giving a full body or head high, salves and lotions are able to focus on specific areas of pain and muscle relief. These products are ideal for Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis, migraine, or chronic pain patients.

By combining infused cannabis oils with shea butter or other lotions, cannabinoids can be released into the bloodstream via the skin. As your body starts to soak in the salve, you will feel rapid and localized relief of stiffness, pain, and inflammation, while still being fully functional. Other herbs and natural remedies can be added to these lotions as well, making them even more powerful. Arnica, for one, is an important herb for pain relief in joints and muscles. When combined with cannabis, they make an infallible remedy.

We now carry Apothecanna Arnica Pain Relief Lotion, Apothecanna Lip Buzz (yes, it works for lip balm too!), and Mary’s Salve. Come in and talk to one of our bud-tenders for more information on this innovative use of medical marijuana!

Medical Marijuana Consumption: Smoking vs. Vaporizing

Humans have used the smoke and vapors of plants and herbs for thousands of years for medicinal and religious purposes, and as technology evolves, so do the means of inhaling the beneficial remedies.  Today, as the legalization for medical marijuana sweeps across the states, more studies are being done on the methods of medicating. The most common use of consuming cannabis is smoking; however, we are all aware that the heat from combustion can be damaging to our throats and lungs. Burning or igniting medical marijuana releases some of the active medicinal components of cannabis (aka THC, CBD, and CBN), however some believe that roughly 25-50% of the effective cannabinoids are destroyed in the process. Combustion also causes the release of unwanted by-products like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, tar, ash, and other substances that are harmful to the human body and can later cause serious health issues.

Vaporizing, on the other hand, is a less destructive method of medicating with cannabis. During vaporization, ground up medicine is gently heated to smoke without igniting the herb. Recent studies show that vaporizing can actually increase the reception of cannabinoids and the onset of medicinal effects. Also, less carbon monoxide and tar is released, thus reducing the risks of inhaling smoke. Though smoking marijuana is not as dangerous as smoking tobacco, many MMJ patients prefer vaporizing because of its smoothness and consistent dosaging.

Interested in vaporizing? Want to learn more? Come to The Green Room and check out our selection of both full-size and portable vaporizers. Our educated staff can help you in choosing the right vaporizer for your needs!

THC/DUI Bill (HB1261) – Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing Monday, 4/18

On April 18th, the Colorado legislature will make a final decision on the pending HB1261, a bill that would put severe limits on Colorado Medical Marijuana patients who drive. Having already passed State Congress, this bill is set to implement “forced blood tests” on anyone driving with a minimum of 5 nanograms/milliliter of THC in their blood. Though road and highway safety is an important concern for the state, many medical marijuana advocates argue that House Bill 1261 is a direct attack on MMJ patients and their rights.

The bill, sponsored by Democrat Claire Levy and Republican Mark Waller, is designed to test and criminalize anyone driving with the smallest amount of THC in their blood. It is being treated like an alcohol DUI, which is causing apprehension among the medical marijuana community. Metabolism is the key argument in this debate. Though marijuana and alcohol are very different, tolerance and blood levels are dependent on an individual’s height, weight, and activity level. Another point is that a person who drinks a lot of alcohol can be sober and have no trace left in their blood after a few hours. Marijuana, on the other hand, can take days or even weeks to fully leave the system. Everyone has a different tolerance level, so a patient who medicates all day, everyday can handle a much higher blood level of THC than a patient who only uses at night for insomnia. Yet, even for that patient who only medicates once a day, 5 nanograms is nearly nothing and can be found in the blood of someone who hasn’t smoked for an extended period of time.

Though enforcing laws against impairment while driving is important, aiming a law at state registered medical marijuana patients can be viewed as disregarding patient rights. There aren’t “forced blood tests” for driving under the influence of percocet or oxycontin, other pain medications that can be far more dangerous.

As the judiciary committee meeting gets closer and closer, it is important that patients contact the state and let their opinions be known. These are you’re rights, and as so, you deserve to be heard!
