Cannabis & Nutrition
Written by Jessica Golich
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to acknowledge that the food industry has been taken over by profit fueling motives and unprecedented levels of corporate and political power. The battle of the bulge has reached epidemic proportions and various agrochemical contaminants carry familiar tunes over American dinner tables throughout the country. As cannabis is a flowering plant that is grown in soil similar to the plants that we eat in the form of fruits and vegetables, knowledge of the quality of harvest is key in a time where we know that the substitution of factory and industrial processing rather than artisanal processing diminishes the quality and nutritional content of our food.
When it comes to well-grown cannabis, identifiable factors such as earthy aromas indicate the natural compounds aka the terpene content which helps stimulate the bioactive components that provide healing to your entire body and mind. As cannabis plants require maintenance, so do our physical bodies. As human beings, we naturally produce cannabinoids in our bodies and when you eat to live rather than live to eat, a cumulative effect of a healthy lifestyle punctuated by exercise contributes to dramatic internal and external changes that can transform your entire relationship with cannabis and yourself.
Though I am not a doctor or nutritionist, I have grown knowledgeable that plates of an endless array of nutritionally bankrupt food disrupts the body’s defenses and induces autoimmune diseases and inflammation. As cannabis consumption continues to become more mainstream around the world as liberated minds recognize that cannabis fuels the flame to expand their mental plane, beyond laws and regulations, one of the industries top opportunities for growth stems in cannabis cultivators using highly toxic pesticides to boost the chance of high yields and higher revenue and earnings. As we imagine a world where organic farming methods are the first inclination of cannabis brand owners while choosing their farmers, education is key when it comes to consuming and choosing to solely support companies that organically grow their cannabis.
Providing your body with nutritional sustenance that converts to optimal energy and vitality serves as fuel along your personal quest to fulfill your desires, dreams and everyday activities. Cannabis and food are supplements and tools to create a greater capacity for enjoying life and a change in how you feel stimulates a change in events and circumstances that you experience. May you choose the path of vitality and wellness.
