Cannabis & Sleep
We don’t need to tell you how important a good night’s sleep is. As humans, we function best with proper sleep, yet it is often the first thing to go when things get busy. Currently, Health Canada recommends average adults get 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night for optimal health.
However, roughly 50% of adults have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep and 1 in 5 adults do not feel refreshed upon waking. Insufficient sleep can contribute to chronic stress, poor mental health and more sedentary time.[1]

All challenges that I became obsessed with solving. Thankfully, after about 18 months of tinkering, lab testing and sampling, I came up with the process to make “Light Tasting”, strain specific, easily dosed cannabutter and cannaoil. Your cannabutter and cannaoil will be virtually tasteless if you follow the p ..read more

Cannabis Oils Explained
Ingestible cannabis oils are a great, smoke-free alternative for medical cannabis users. Because it may be a new format to some, there are often a number of questions surrounding what cannabis oils are and how they are used.
What is Cannabis Oil and Where Does it Come From?
Cannabinoids (THC and CBD) and terpenes naturally exist as oily syrupy substances, and for this reason it is not uncommon for one’s hands to become sticky when touching fresh cannabis flower. The sticky sensation one feels has to do with the fact that cannabis flowers and leaves are cov ..read more
