Hello!

We’re from the cannabinoid community and were curious to see if this subreddit is still active. Anyone still around? Looking forward to connecting!

What is clear from research is that cannabis usage does affect REM sleep and REM sleep is important for a human being.
I love my hit of a vape or spliff and I do it about once a week. When I do it too late in the night I have some kind of hangover that is unique to cannabis : I feel pretty detached and tired the day after. Often I sleep soon (I don't need cannabis for sleep, easy sleeper), but when under the influence I often sleep shorter and feel less rested.

This made me question, has there been some research on how long after intake cannabis usage affects REM sleep.
I understand this is a hard question, as quantities and quality play a huge role among other variables, and these are hard to determine specifically enough for a good study. Not even accounting for the physical and mental state of the user, even more complicated.
I've been googling around a little and couldn't find easy answers, so hope you can help me out with some pointers or directions (of course easy answers are welcome, but they have to fit reality)

I just wanna say that since I've started smoking weed, I haven't sparked up with anyone because no one I know smokes. I appreciate this subreddit for existing and all of the people online who share the same interest as me. I'm curious what everyone's favorite weed communities are. I'd love to meet new people.

I was a CBD shop the other day and a clerk was trying to convince them that the company “ferments” or let’s the plant matter mature over time and it develops all of these strange cannabanoids. Is this true? Or are these synthetically altered products which start as (CBD) but then is altered into these other products?

Would love to know the chemistry behind these processes, is it with reagents and chemical reactions which change the chemistry of the plant? Or just natural processes in the decomposition of these plant oils as the clerk was trying to convince me?

Thank y’all

Study Information:

My project is about cannabis use in the UK. The purpose of my project is to examine the differences between recreational and medical cannabis use in the UK. This project is important as prior to the recent legalisation of medical cannabis in the UK, cannabis research had been restricted. This resulted in lack of research examining patterns of use, motivations of use and mental health in medical cannabis users and how this compares to recreational cannabis users. This had negative consequences on the implementation of medical cannabis in the UK. There are reports of stigma associated with the use of medical cannabis and hesitancy of prescribing and using medical cannabis due to insufficient research. My project will address this gap and provide insight to cannabis use in the UK.

I'm currently taking a pack of 4, high quality courses with a lot of updated info to educate by myself from beginner to advanced. But in Poland that's it. No events, no conferences. I'm studying Clinical Psychology and I want to have a possibilty to get access to foreign english courses to enhance my knowledge. Can you recommend something worth its price? I would be thankful.

That says a lot about how important more education is needed I believe.

Hi, i was wondering if anyone could hint me the next step I should take in furthering my education in the cannabis field and possibly pursuing a career in that area. I am 18 years old I recently graduated from a tech school in carpentry and got into a car accident in which changed my decision on a career choice. I reside in the state of Massachusetts where it is legal for anyone above the age of 21 to use and grow recreationally. If anyone wants to chime in and give me a couple pointers don’t hesitate

its -30c outside. i just did a wash of some frozen fresh buds.. can i freeze dry my trichomes outside in a closed Tupperware container on a 25u screen on top of paper towels?

What is the best ratio for sub lingual when using distillate MCT And lecithin?

What about for additive...I.E. What is the most concentrated Additive that I can Make from distalite but it still has enough MCT and lecithin to easily emulsify into lyptophylic foods?

Alcohol tinctures are more easily absorbed and bio available to the system.? so I'll assume alcohol based tincture are always superior to oil infusions for sublingual .. correct?

Thank you for your time👽✌🤘
