Pineapple Express v Jamaican Skunk- Why Vape CBD?

Cannabidiol, aka CBD, is one of the more active compounds in cannabis plants. This compound also referred to as cannabinoids or phytocannabinoids is responsible for some therapeutic properties these plants provide. CBD, being a non-psychoactive compound means users are unable to get high by using it. Instead, CBD offers users multiple wellness benefits that has caused an increase in its popularity over the last few years. Let’s talk about CBD Vape Cartridges.

CBD consumption has evolved as well. Today, you can consume CBD through smoking/vaping, eating (in the form of edibles, tinctures), or topical application (through oils and lotions).  According to the World Health Organization, CBD holds no risk of over-dependence or addiction. That makes it a great choice for users looking to enjoy its benefits without worrying about any negative side effects. 

Of the numerous ways to consume CBD, one of the more popular ways of consumption is CBD vape cartridges. Users like this method because it is one of the easiest and fastest ways of getting CBD into the system. It also has the second-highest bioavailability level of 70%, higher than smoking which sits at a mere 30%, and oral ingestion which ranks at 6 – 20% bioavailability.

What goes into making CBD vape cartridges?

An important aspect of our CBD vape cartridges is the vape juice with terpenes. The terpenes bring that extra flavoring and smell your cartridge requires and enhance all the CBD affects your body desires. But what are terpenes and how do they affect your body?

Terpenes are the general name used to define a large variety of secondary chemical compounds produced by cannabis and almost every other plant on earth. Secondary compounds are by-products made by plants to support the production of the primary compounds. Primary compounds range from flowers to fruit and in the case of cannabis, it Is THC and CBD, the cannabinoids we love to consume. 

Cannabis terpenes function in numerous ways to aid the growth of the plant. They also have a great effect on internal and external stimuli that benefits cannabis plants with things like bacteria, fungus, and other sources of stress. They also affect the smell the plant has. That means terpenes cause the unique cannabis smells we have come to love.

Terpenes provide users with more of the ‘entourage effect’. When multiple cannabinoids are used together, they are thought to have stronger effects than when used separately. Doing this produces a stronger and more effective response to the body termed as “entourage effect”.

Differentiating between ‘Jamaican Skunk vs. Pineapple Express’

Now you know what makes our cartridges, but do you know the difference between our Jamaican skunk terpene and our pineapple express terpene? Here are some things to note

Our Jamaican skunk terpene comes off as earthy, woody and it triggers feelings of happiness, relaxation, and arousal. It also possibly functions as a discomfort reliever, alleviating discomfort and aiding with sleep.

In addition, it provides a boost of energy and provides that upliftment whenever you need it. 

We advise trying each cartridge to know what works best for you. As with our other products, we also advise you to begin little and grow into your ideal dosage.

Why Vape CBD?

CBD or Cannabidiol is the second most prevalent compound within cannabis plants. This naturally occurring supplement has enjoyed a steady rise in popularity over the last few years with millions across the country turning towards it in order to achieve optimal wellness. Today, CBD can be consumed via a vast majority of means including but not limited to; vapes, CBD oils, CBD creams, CBD Roll-On’s, Edibles and so on. 

It goes without saying that each ingestion means has its own pre-determined pros and cons and for this article, we are going to be exploring everything there is to know about CBD Vapes. But first, what are vapes?

Vapes are that thing everyone thinks they know but often get confused by occasionally. They are also not cigarettes or e-cigarettes for that matter. Vaping works when a liquid within the protective tube is aerosolized which is inhaled by the user. A major benefit to ingesting CBD via vaping is efficient it allows you to consume your cannabinoids. Bioavailability is a term that refers to the portion of a substance consumed that is able to enter into the blood stream. In essence, it refers to the amount of a substance you are actually receiving. This is why doctors would rather pass most serious medication intravenously to ensure 100% bioavailability.

According to studies, CBD Vapes can provide you with a bioavailability rate of 70%. This might seem small compared to the aforementioned 100% but it comes in way ahead of smoking which provides a rate of 30% and oral consumption (edibles) which has a bioavailability rate of 6 – 20%. CBD vapes also have a quicker action time meaning by vaping, you are speeding up the time needed for the CBD to kick in to your system and begin to do its job. 

Why Vape? Benefits of CBD Vape

Apart from the aforementioned, there are some other amazing reasons why you should vape more! Here are some of our favorite CBD Vape benefits:

Discomfort alleviation:

A huge benefit to vaping CBD is enjoy its potential ability to alleviate discomfort. CBD’s unique composition allows it to be able to trigger serotonin receptors which then triggers an increase in the neurotransmitter serotonin – responsible for inducing feelings of happiness and alleviating uncomfortable feelings. 

According to this 2018 review to explore CBD’s effect on discomfort, the patients treated with CBD enjoyed a significant reduction in their levels of discomfort, further highlighting CBDs capacity as a relief agent. 

It alleviates anxiety:

CBD functions just like THC except it is unable to induce feelings of highness. It is still however about to induce feelings of being mellow and chill which could be ideal for patients looking for something to keep them mellow through the day. 

Studies point out that CBD is able to reduce anxiety levels in humans and it could also trigger antidepressant effects that could be triggered by modern medicine as well. 

CBD’s antidepressant and anxiolytic abilities could be from CBD’s potential ability to decrease or increase the serotonin and cortisol levels within the body. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has a huge effect on mood and cortisol is a stress hormone often within patients suffering from mood disorders. 

It could help in alleviating smoking habits:

Third and final item on our list is its ability to assist in your smoking quitting quest. According to research, CBD could prove helpful when giving up tobacco. A 2013 study discovered that CBD inhalation reduced cigarette consumption by 40% and another published in 2018 showed that CBD treatment reduced the pleasant feeling normally associated with cigarettes. This causes smokers quit earlier than usual.
