Jane West on LinkedIn: Is It 'Just Weed'? (2024)

🌿 Exploring the Cannabis Conundrum: Unveiling the Relationship Between Weed and Anxiety 🧠✨ Dive into the intriguing connection between cannabis and mental wellness with Asher Longevity Institute! https://ow.ly/EjCu50QgwYl

Everyone should consume cannabis. Okay, I guess not most young people with their brains still forming …Also, not if you have adverse medical issues related to consuming…Also maybe not if you hold fundamental beliefs that preclude you from partaking…And probably avoid it if you have predisposition to serious mental health disorders…BUT! If none of the above apply, and you’re hung up on some twisted old school puritanical nonsense, and you still feel weird because of the “stigma” - grow up and give it a shot. Try some cannabis. Don’t do a dab or anything, don’t be weird about it - but take a low dose edible. Have a half hit off a joint. Puff on the vape for a sec. Just to see. You might find an experience where you are not overly intoxicated, where you laugh easily, where you create more freely, and where you more deliberately experience little micro-moments of joy. Not to mention the health benefits to your inflamed lil body. Carry on 🕺🏻#cannabis #tryit

Happy Monday! As many of you know, I am passionate about helping people have balanced and healthy relationships with cannabis. Part of this comes from my own journey through a shift in my consumption behavior. Through this, I have been approached by many people who are also looking to change their relationship with consumption but are turned off by traditional abstinence based programs, and/or feel that many programs focused on reducing or eliminating cannabis use are run by folks who support prohibition.I am thinking about creating a program, based in harm reduction, supportive of legalization, and meant to help people re-evaluate and re-imagine their relationship with cannabis. This wouldn’t come the perspective of addiction, but rather mindful consumption.Question. Is this something you think the public could benefit from? Are you or someone you know considering such a change? I am thinking it would be an online, self directed program with a workbook plus a community of support.I'd love to know your thoughts!#balance #mindfulness #cannabis #moderation

An important piece on the effects of #cannabis but does not talk enough about it's effect on older adults. A 2021 study found 12% of older adults had used a #THC product in the previous year, up from 9% just 3-4 years earlier. This "growth" industry is not as benign as proponents advertise. THC concentrations of 18-30% far exceed the (4%) weed of 1970 and your 2024 brain is not the same. Check the clock next time you have a "senior moment." It may actually be 4:20. #dementiaprevention #cognitive #wellbeing #marijuanahttps://lnkd.in/ewwsVA6f

Whippets, or nitrous oxide, may seem like a harmless high, but the reality is far from it. Unfortunately, more and more young people are turning to whippets for a quick escape, not realizing the serious risks involved.Whippet use deprives the brain of oxygen, which can lead to fainting, seizures, and in severe cases, brain damage or sudden death. Regular use can cause serious nerve damage, leading to numbness, tingling, and long-term neurological issues.Like many substances, whippets can be addictive, leading to a cycle of dependency and escalating use.If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, reach out for help. There are resources and people who care…InnerBloom Recovery Services, LLCConcierge addiction recovery coaching, sober companioning, safe transport, recovery life coaching, aftercare management and relapse prevention services “Bridging the Gap Between Treatment and Recovery”#WhippetDanger #YouthAwareness #SubstanceAbuse #MentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #Endthestigma
