Regulars exchange hugs, visitors from out of state introduce themselves, friendly chit-chat begins, and joints make their way around the loose circle of people to blaze. I sneak in my first question gingerly, respectful of the shared aura, \\\"How does cannabis enhance your yoga experience?\\\"
\\\"I am able to connect with and truly feel my body relax.\\\"
\\\"I become less concerned with how I look and more concerned with how I feel.\\\"
\\\"My heightened sense of awareness allows me to connect my breath with my movements which relaxes my mind.\\\"
\\\"Cannabis helps me turn inward and let go of my ego.\\\"
\\\"Instead of just exercise, yoga becomes a moving meditation.\\\"
Now we're all on the same level, pleasantly high and ready for Amanda Hitz, our instructor, to usher us through this experience, which begins with a perfectly tailored yoga and cannabis music playlist. She introduces herself to begin the asana practice. Amanda's Slow-Flow Saturday sequence is my favorite. The pace is perfect for deep breathing, yet still provides a good workout.
After bending, the circle reforms and the joints blaze once again. \\\"How do you feel about your first canna-yoga experience?\\\" I ask the two friends visiting from New York.
\\\"I love how this space allows cannabis to be socially acceptable. It's nice to be on the same level during the practice, and everyone here is so welcoming. Bend and Blaze has truly built a community around cannabis and yoga.\\\"
Are you ready to \\\"Pair a detoxifying workout, centering restoration, and a roomful of new friends for a more connected experience\\\" as the Bend and Blaze event details outline? Start by visiting your local The Green Solution location to pick up your favorite strain or pre-roll and visit bendandblazeyoga.com to sign up for a Bend and Blaze class!

I fumbled about for a moment, taking a step back. I nearly knocked a hat off of its perch. Taking the time to re-focus, I noticed hats, t-shirts, pint glasses, stickers.... basically all the kinds of things that I should buy for people back home. Something buzzed in my head from browsing mygreensolution.com earlier in the day. There was a lot of great stuff here.
\\\"Hey, I can take these home with me, can't I?\\\" My question lingered and I wasn't sure if I had voiced it aloud. If at first you don't succeed...\\\"HEY, can I...\\\"
\\\"Yes, it is only the regulated product that can't cross state lines.\\\" My fellow customer, the savior of the feeder line barrier, was here to save me yet again. He saw my next question and thankfully answered it before I stumbled yet again. \\\"This,\\\" he gestured to all of the stickers, shirts, and glassware next to us \\\"is Unregulated, and this,\\\" he swept back to the vast array of brightly lit cases on the main sales floor \\\"is Regulated product.\\\" He was helping, so I chose to ignore that he was drawing out every word a little too long.
I decided to grab a few of the \\\"unregulated\\\" items from the display next to the line. It was pretty cool that they had so many options here while I was waiting for the next salesperson. There were several of them moving about the surprisingly large room in front of me. The cases reminded me of a jewelry store, with the staff bouncing around behind suggesting different products. There were screens above showing videos about how to grow things. I kept scanning the entire scene. Tiva and Indie were, well, they were nowhere to be seen.
\\\"How are you today?\\\" a person materialized in front of my fellow customer and opened the gilded rope, allowing my Unregulated Sherpa to enter the main floor and start shopping. There was a sign reminding me to wait for the next available helper. I guess I should have noticed either that or the rope. I had an armful of t-shirts and hats so I was content. Well, as content as one can be after realizing that their friends may have wandered away in a strange town without notice.
\\\"Here from out of town?\\\" I jumped a little. This black polo-clad attendant had really materialized from out of nowhere. \\\"How do you know that?\\\" I sent back. They gestured at the TGS merchandise I was holding. Plus I was wearing my state college hat. Ok, so, yeah, I guess it was kind of obvious.
This lovely person opened the gate and I was in. I walked to the first case I could find. \\\"So...how does this work?\\\" I ventured. I was awash in worry and anxiety. I had never been in a place like this before! What do I say, what do I ask for, what if I don't...
\\\"Do you have an idea of what you would like to try today?\\\" Yikes. She was in my head. \\\"Well, I've never really been in a dispensary before. We are here for a couple of weeks and I was looking to pick up some....well, ....weed(?)\\\" I knew how bad this sounded. If I still had eyes on Tiva and Indie I would have sprinted towards them and demand we call off the entire stop. That's it, just hand the shirts back to this nice lady and get the heck out of here.
\\\"That isn't unusual. What did you guys plan on doing? Sometimes what your plans are can kind of guide us in terms of what might be the best product for you.\\\" Black polo lady was a kind mind-reader.
\\\"Hiking for sure, but we will be in town for a little bit. We will be moving around a lot.\\\"
\\\"Well have you had any experience with cannabis before? If you have something you enjoyed in the past, we can see what we have that is similar and give that a shot!\\\"
This conversation was saving me. The bad feelings were almost gone.
\\\"Here, let's take a look at our edibles.\\\" She guided me towards a brightly lit case with a vast array of colorfully labelled and packaged items. \\\"Are you familiar with them? Your friends told me you guys looked at the website on the way here.\\\"
A ha! Not a psychic! Just a kind, knowledgeable person who probably knew more about my friends' current location than I did.
\\\"Yes, edibles!\\\" It was coming back to me. I did want to try some of these fascinating looking items.
The next few minutes were a great tutorial on everything edibles. It was clear you needed to start slow and give them time to kick in, and not overdo it. Feeling empowered, I asked about \\\"flower\\\" which I learned was the official cannabis term for what everyone simply called \\\"weed\\\" back home. I had seen this category online and ventured a number of guesses as to what it could be, but once again my new friend Jane was here to fill in all the gaps.
It was time to settle up. Jane was going to meet me at a mysterious location known as \\\"Number Four\\\". I looked around the floor, more than a little disoriented.
\\\"It's the number of the register.\\\" The deadpan guidance of my barrier savior prodded me along yet again. Wait, how was he still shopping? Maybe he was just waiting for me to get stuck again? I had to get to \\\"Number Four\\\" as quickly as possible.
I thought there would be an old-fashioned cash register. Metal keys, a bell, a drawer that sticks. I was still leery that they took debit cards for payment. I should have known better. Every step of the way I had been wrong, and in a good way. Check-out was no exception. There was a modern screen and display awaiting me.
Mary asked for my ID and we were off and running. The screen was filling up with my items. I was still going to pay cash, but there was the set-up for the card right there in front of me. The other registers had equal levels of amazing things going on. Mary was putting my things into a bag that looked secure enough for an armored car service to use for money transfers.
\\\"Here you are sir! Enjoy your visit and remember what we talked about!\\\" She showed me the way out of the magical store and turned to help the next visitor.
\\\"Just one more thing...\\\" I murmured. \\\"Yes?\\\" she was still bright and engaged but I could tell I was pushing it at this point. I still had to ask the question.
\\\"Do you know where my friends went?\\\"

You reach for the hot new trend for anxiety relief in pets: CDB. Seconds later, the anxiety-ridden Luke Skybarker transitions to a calmer, more content state thanks to CBD.
But is it safe? Depends on who you ask. Is it legal? Not exactly.
People swear by the medical and holistic benefits of CBD, or low-THC and high-CBD combinations for themselves. So naturally, they've begun to treat their thunder buddies for anxiety, not to mention pain, ulcers, and epileptic seizures--the same things humans use cannabis products for.
There's been little research on cannabis benefits to your fur babies so, like with humans, there is a gray area when it comes to per-specific cannabis products, and proper regulation is almost non-existent.
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized the growing and sale of industrial hemp with less than .03 percent THC content, THC being the psychoactive chemical in cannabis for industrial uses. Regulation like this clears the way for major regulatory agencies like the Food and Drug Administration and Drug Enforcement Agency to reclassify CBD, but as it stands these two agencies still classify hemp-derived CBD as illegal, and there is no regulation controlling its production and distribution.
As such, many CBD products including pet-specific varieties can still contain foreign contaminants such as herbicides, pesticides, or heavy metals. In some cases, there is no CBD present at all.
A big reason Cannabis products are increasingly heavily marketed to pets is their owners' efforts to avoid opioids and other remedies in favor of cannabis-based products. Resultingly, according to the Brightfield Group, sales have quadrupled from $8 million in 2017 to $32 million in 2018.
What exactly is at stake here? Hard to say, but money's a good first guess. The entire industry of Hemp-Derived CBD-based products is projected to reach $22 billion by 2020 with $1.16 billion being gobbled up by pets in need like Luke Skybarker. Many \\\"Dog Oil\\\" salesmen have come out of the woodworks to capitalize on this unclear regulation by selling low-quality or fake cannabis-based pet products.
CBD targets the endocannabinoid system of humans and pets alike. This special system is integral to regulating many functions of the body including the central and peripheral nervous systems and in other peripheral organs. Like with humans, enthusiasts are looking at it as a cure-all for your pet's ailments. The endocannabinoid system is considered so integral bodily harmony (also knows as homeostasis) that according to the Pharmacol Review, \\\"Modulating the activity of the endocannabinoid system turned out to hold therapeutic promise in a wide range of disparate diseases and pathological conditions ranging from mood and anxiety disorders to movement disorders.\\\" In layman's terms, introducing foreign cannabinoids into the endocannabinoid results in regulation of the system and in part, this system helps regulate and maintain other bodily systems.
First, you must live in area where recreational cannabis is legal. Second, do your research and look for a company that's subject to your local cannabis regulatory division testing. But this is a legal requirement so you can assume, for the most part, these dispensaries are holding up their end and therefore aren't shut down!
While we wait on regulations to clear up so we can offer safe and legal pet products, The Green Solution offers other fur baby accessories at great prices. Stop by MyGreenSolution to make an online reservation for your favorite flower or other marijuana products (for humans) or stop by your favorite location today.

It isn't Texas, it isn't Alaska. When you drive west on I-70 across Kansas it takes approximately 48 hours to reach Colorado. So, by the time the group reached the first rest stop in \\\"Colorful Colorado,\\\" everyone was just about done with each other.
The problem with Eastern Colorado is that it is nearly as wide as Kansas, but you can see the mountains most of the way up, so you always think you are closer to the big city than you really are. Tiva had won her negotiation with the machine back at the rest stop and was well into her second energy drink. Her caffeine-fueled optimism was willing us along the final few hours of highway. Indie had found some brochures about the state and was poring over them in the back seat. We had two weeks to see the city and the mountains and he was in charge of the itinerary for the group. So apparently, we were going to be visiting places he picked out of printed material from the 1950s. This trip was going to be great.
Tiva started to come down as we reached the outskirts of Denver. Watching her swipe through her phone I could tell she was looking for something to do close to the hotel. Between glances at the road and the passenger seat I caught glimpses of u201crestaurants near you,\\\" \\\"ski resort,\\\" and \\\"penguin.\\\" I didnu2019t understand the penguin part, but just as I started to ask what the plan was she perked up and asked me, \\\"Have you ever heard of a place called 'The Green Solution?'\\\"
The question brought Indie back to life. For a moment he sounded like the over-caffeinated one. u201cHeck yeah I've heard of them! My cousin goes every time he comes out here to ski! We are going, that's it.u201d Taking the time to speak for a few seconds caught up with him, and Indie collapsed back into the comfort of the back seat. Tiva was shoving the phone in my face and as much as I wanted to look, the convoy of semis surrounding us was a more pressing concern. The two passengers started swiping through pages on the screen and it reached the point that I had to see what the fuss was about.
I knew that marijuana was legal in Colorado. In fact, we had planned to try a dispensary or two during our time in the mountains. But I had no idea about this \\\"Green Solution\\\" place.
u201cIt's THE Green Solution,u201d Indie corrected me. \\\"And weu2019re going.\\\" I pulled the car over and looked at Tiva's phone.
The website was way too professional and varied to be something promoting what the folks back home called a \\\"weed store.\\\" There were banners for deals, links to educational pieces, and every single product they carried was available for browsing, all on this MyGreenSolution website. \\\"You can order stuff too,\\\" Indie offered.
That didn't seem possible so I clicked the \\\"Shop\\\" link. It made me set up an Account which took a minuteu2014literally, a minuteu2014but then I was right back on the shopping pages, clicking on all kinds of stuff that I knew very little about. I ran the order up into the hundreds of dollars, and realized I wasn't so sure which store I had sent the reservation to. \\\"Did you do it??\\\" Tiva was on drink number three now and really wanted her phone back. I pulled back on the highway and asked her to Google where we had made our order. \\\"You donu2019t have to,\\\" she explained. \\\"Every store links you to a map on The Green Solution site.\\\"
Even better.
We pulled up to the location pulsing on the map and it didn't look right. The building was brand new. No one was loitering around outside. The parking lot was spotless. This wasn't a \\\"weed store.\\\" It looked more like somewhere you would go to pick up jewelry. Hell, I could take my Nana to this place. A middle-aged professional lady was walking out with a bag with featuring this \\\"The Green Solution\\\" place's logo. A couple of younger people who looked like they had been on the road as long as we had walked in ahead of us. More cars were coming and going from the lot. I was stunned by the overwhelming normalcy of it all.
\\\"Well, are you coming?\\\" Tiva was hopping up and down, holding the door open. Indie was slowly looking at the entrance, sweeping his gaze back to me, and then back to the building. They were both very excited.
I froze. A lot of old stories about marijuana came rushing into my head. I looked down at my out-of-state driver's license and the cash in my wallet. I knew this was all I needed to pick up my order, but it didn't look like enough. \\\"Shouldnu2019t there be, I don't know, some type of paperwork to sign?\\\" I asked them. Indie rolled his eyes. Tiva was starting to pout.
\\\"I mean, it can't be this EASY, can it?\\\" I kept fumbling with my wallet like it was going to ease my anxiety. The website had said they even accepted debit cards. I was certain this was a cash-only business, but I guessed I had one of those too. \\\"Stop looking at your wallet and getu2026inu2026.here.\\\"
We walked in and most of my nerves went away. There was a receptionist-looking guy in a uniform (a uniform!) and at the other end of the room were two windows that had to be where my order was. The ceilings were vaulted and the floors shiny. Another guy appeared in one of the windows and was nearly as excited to see me as Tiva was to pop open her energy drinks. Which reminded me to ask them, \\\"Guys, after this where did you want to--\\\" I turned to get their answers and the room was empty.
The man behind the desk smiled and pointed at a door next to his space. \\\"Are you shopping with your friends today?\\\"
\\\"I thought this was the shopping.\\\" I gestured to the window and the attentive guy behind the glass.
\\\"It can be, but this is your first time visiting the state, and our store?\\\" Front Desk Guy was quite perceptive.
\\\"Yeah, we just got in. Found your website and my buddy said we had to come to 'The Green Solution.'\\\"
\\\"We're glad you did, you won't be disappointed. We will hold your order for you in the Express station. Go ahead and join your friends on the main sales floor. You wonu2019t be disappointed.\\\"
I shuffled over and started to feel anxious again, but all front desk guy wanted was my ID. \\\"You know you signed up for our Rewards Program, but you should really download the (Green)Lifestyle App.\\\" I nearly laughed out loud. Yeah, like a dispensary had an App available online. Gimme a break.
I had a ticket with my name on it and my license back in my hand. A buzzing sound was coming from the door I was supposed to walk through. I pushed it open and could see Tiva and Indie standing in the middle of one of the most surprising places I had ever seen. I walked towards them and realized that I couldnu2019t stop smiling.

Duh.\\\" Now that that's taken care of, let's explore some of our favorite summer activities to enhance with cannabis in a bit more detail, shall we?
PS: Don't consume in public. It's still Illegal.
Sunshine, water, and a board all to yourself. Grab even your most un-athletic friends, because this is an activity anyone can enjoy. Floating around a lake or reservoir brings on the ultimate sense of relaxation, and there's truly no better feeling than lying on that board and soaking up the sunshine. May we suggest a weekend reservoir crawl?
Our recommended consumption method: Nectarbee Disposable 3-Heat Vape Pen with Ultra Pure Cartridge. Nectarbee just reformulated their oils for the best potency and purity ever. Not to mention, new pricing means these carts and pens are set to move.
As a Denver native, I'm here to (once again) remind you that our city is known for hosting the best talent and the best venues. Naturally, our outdoor venues get special attention during the summer. If you haven't been at a show when the sun sets on the mountains as the stage lights go up (hello Red Rocks), then have you even been to Denver? Check out these venues to find a show that may not be sold out yet:
Our recommended consumption method? The Nectarbee Key Lime Truffle is our personal favorite. Plus, there's almost always a deal on edibles at your favorite TGS location.
Let me set a quick scene for you. It's 2:00pm on a Saturday afternoon and you have nowhere to be but at your friend's place. There are 60 chicken wings on the smoker, and you can smell each one's individual deliciousness. You can hear the rattling thump of bean bags falling on the cornhole setup just next to a cooler of drinks on the grass. To top it all off, you're almost numb from the relaxing hum of the hot tub jets you're engulfed in.
BBQs are the epitome of summer fun and relaxation, and cannabis is the epitome of year-round fun and relaxation. We recommend starting with Nectarbee Icicle frozen infused pops and complementing them by passing around the potent and shareable CannaTela.
Coloradans get to enjoy a mountain of playgrounds where we can take in beautiful views within a short hike. Whether it's a day trip to Hanging Lake or a 4:00am trek up Mt. Bierstadt, there's no end to the possibilities for a good Colorado hike.
We recommend applying the Nectarbee Heal Line Muscle Balm to sore spots, perfect for before, during, or after any foot journey.
We'd be remiss not to point out there's a fest for everyone in Denver. Year-round, for everyone from unicorn to water lantern enthusiasts, from lovers of dance to cherry blossom admirers, there's a festival for that.
So how can we recommend just one pick? Any strain of your favorite flower! Just head over to MyGreenSolution's eCannabis selection for your preferred choice.
Again, this list is by no means comprehensive. We just want to help you pair the best experiences with the best cannabis. Help us help you by checking out MyGreenSolution.com and reserving your favorite picks today.

Bands love to play in the Centennial State because of its beautiful views, our kinder-than-most residents, and of course, legal recreational marijuana. I'm sure you've heard their not-so-subtle commentaries at a show: \\\"We love you Denver, and we love that smell in here!\\\" *wink, applause, etc.* And though we've been a rec state for a while now (leading the pack and all) we thought festival and concert season would be a good time to send a friendly reminder to everyone about concert cannabis etiquette (CCE for short).
Listen, I'm going to be blunt with you (pun intended). Our official stance on concert cannabis etiquette is that you shouldn't do it because we do not condone smoking in public. It's illegal. Don't do it.
However...if you find yourself with some kind of herb or essential oils and some kind of device with which to enjoy the benefits of said herbs or oils ... here's a handy guide for not intruding on the festival goers around you.
Every location is beautiful and unique. We suggest you try and match those qualities to your consumption method for the evening.
For example: If you go to an outdoor show at Red Rocks, you might be tempted to roll your own joint or load a pipe, thinking any unwanted &mbsp;fragrances would dissipate quicker. But please treat your open lighters with respect, and don't set our state on fire. And, if you enjoy vaping essential oils using cartridges and disposable vapes, they are pretty low-key and a totally valid option for a show. But, please don't dispose of the pieces in the bushes where a deer might eat it. Consider the hazards of your chosen consumption method and try to mitigate them with the amazing innovations we providers have painstakingly researched and crafted for you. You have options now and can use them to honor our state.
Spoiler alert: Not everyone has jumped on board the cannabis train yet and not everyone loves the super skunky smell of that dope af OG Kush strain still ingering on your clothes ... you know, the smell on your clothes that's still lingering because you smoked in the confines of a private residence and not at a public venue. While we don't necessarily agree with these people, we respect them because we are tolerant consumers who understand cannabis consumption is a choice. So instead of hitting a blunt or cornering a bowl next to someone's conservative grandmother who got picked to chaperone the 14-year-old kid who loves the same band as you, pick up some infused mints or tinctures and keep your consumption on the sly.
Bonus Tip: If you're new to edibles, consume one about an hour before the show starts for a well-timed experience, and make sure not to drive.
Look, we've all been there. We've all had that \\\"little bit too much\\\" moment where we realize that we overdid it with the excitement of the show. Once I fell asleep standing up on a literally throbbing dance floor after an extra Indica gummy I had two hours before decided to make a surprise appearance in my bloodstream. Oops.
But it's ok. Just make sure you know and respect your limits so you don't end up missing the concert you paid a reasonable price + $50 worth of \\\"convenience fees\\\" for.
To summarize, we at The Green Solution recommend \\\"rehearsing\\\" your concert cannabis experiences in the comfort of your own home with any of the vast array of products we have available to consumers now. Our personal favorites for this season? Blueberry Acai Gummies, Filtered Incognito Pre-Rolls, and Key Lime Truffles u2013 all of which are perfect for not &nbps;consuming at a public concert venue.

People who use cannabis are lazy layabouts with no direction in life, and few (if any) interests outside of herb. But is that true? According to a survey of 1,600 North American adults, the cliche has it all wrong. Conducted by the website Civilized and the market research agency PSB, the survey sheds light on what types of people consume cannabis, and while TGS patrons won't be surprised by the results, the general public may be. Here are some of the highlights:
American Cannabis Consumers are Educated. The study found that 36 percent of cannabis users in the U.S. have some form of college education, while only 30 percent of non-consumers do.
Marijuana Consumers Have Active Social Lives. While only 22 percent of those who never consume cannabis have visited a pub, bar, or club in the last 4 weeks, 38 percent of cannabis-users have gone on such outings.
TGS Recommendation: You're friendly, so you'll want to share. A 10 pack of Mint Filtered Incognitos will make you the life of any party.
Cannabis Consumers Work Out as Much (or More) Than Non-Users.
28 percent of American cannabis users work out once or twice a week, while only 22 percent of non-users do.
TGS Recommendation: You live an active, on-the-go lifestyle - don't forget to hydrate. Refresh yourself with one of our infused NectarBee sodas.
At The Green Solutionu00ae, we're passionate about removing the stigma from cannabis. Surveys like this one reveal the truth about who our patrons are: educated and active members of society.

If you're like most people, that fact inspires in you at least a little anxiety. Maybe you're thinking, \\\"I'm not ready!\\\" or \\\"what did I accomplish this year?\\\" or any number of other thoughts that cause you stress. We hear you, Friend, and we're here to help.
As these words are coming to you from The Green Solution, you're probably not surprised to hear that we recommend cannabis to help you find a bit of peace. But, and stay with us here, we'd like to ask a question: Have you considered pairing cannabis with meditation? It's a combination that's helped countless people around the world (and throughout history) to find the tranquility they sought. Is your curiosity piqued? Then read on!
Broadly speaking, the practice of meditation comes to us through the Eastern traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. Interestingly, both developed in the part of the world now known as India, a region where cannabis grows naturally. In Hindu mythology, cannabis is named as one of five sacred plants, and it holds special significance to the god Shiva. According to the Vedas (the Hindu holy books), cannabis came to exist when Shiva and other gods were making Amrita, the potion for eternal life. As is wont to happen when cooking, drops of the elixir were jostled from the cauldron and spilled onto the earth. Wherever the drops fell, cannabis plants sprang up and thus were considered holy from time immemorial.
To this day, tens of thousands of Hindus from India and Nepal gather annually in Kathmandu to celebrate Maha Shivaratri, a holy festival dedicated to Shiva wherein smoking cannabis as a holy offering to Shiva is encouraged.
It turns out that there's more than just anecdotal evidence to support the efficacy of pairing meditation, or mindfulness, with cannabis for deep relaxation and relief from stress and anxiety. According to Diana Winston, director of mindfulness education at UCLA Semel Institute's Mindful Awareness Research Center, \\\"Mindfulness can be helpful for a variety of physical health issues; generally speaking stress-related conditions such as high blood pressure. Also, conditions that relate to inflammation can be positively affected such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc, and it's also been shown to boost the immune system and promote the healing response.\\\"
Unfortunately, the federal prohibition of cannabis has limited scientific study into its effects. However, cannabis has been found in initial studies to have many of the same benefits as meditation. A 2017 study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation found that CBD reduces blood pressure in healthy volunteers, and a 2013 study published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology found cannabis to be beneficial in reducing inflammation associated with Crohn's disease.
Now that you've given it a little thought, pairing meditation and cannabis sounds like something you'd like to try. How to proceed? First, decide what sort of cannabis product you're going to consume, how much, and when. We recommend using something with which you're familiar. This is not a time to choose a new strain or method of consumption. We're not looking for surprises here, but rather calm introspection. Because the endocannabinoid system of each individual is unique, there is no one \\\"best\\\" strain for meditation. With a little experimentation, you should be able to zero in on exactly what helps you get in the meditation zone.
Similarly, there's no right or wrong way to practice meditation itself. There's a famous Zen saying that goes something like this: \\\"everyone should meditate for 20 minutes a day, unless they're especially busy. Then they should meditate an hour a day.\\\" That being said, a good goal to start with is 3 u2013 5 minutes at a time, once or twice a day.
While we here at The Green Solution are experts in cannabis, we're not experts in meditation, but here are a couple of resources to help you get started. This article in Psychology Today offers \\\"5 Meditation Tips for Beginners.\\\" If you're really gung-ho and think meditating is something you'd like to add to your personal wellness routine, there's an app for that! Healthline.com published a list of the year's best meditation apps (many of which are free) that can get you started.
We hope you've learned a little something here today, and that perhaps we've inspired you to find a new use for your favorite herb. As always, feel free to ask a friendly TGS Retail Associate for their recommendations in pairing cannabis with meditation. We're here to help, and you can trust our experience.

We're supposedly lazy couch potatoes who don't do much but eat Taco Bell and play video games, or at least that's what they say. But who are \\\"they,\\\" and what do they know? Not much, according to a 2017 study of North American cannabis users that found that 36 percent of American cannabis users work out 3 u2013 5 times a week, compared to 34 percent of non-users. Add that to anecdotal evidence like the popularity of The 420 Games and the experience of practically every adult snowboarder in Colorado and you've got material to combat the old stereotype.
Today we'll look a little deeper into the facts surrounding exercise and cannabis with an eye to helping you decide if it's a combination that will work for you.
We discussed the endocannabinoid system in a previous blog, and it's a good place to start when thinking about the way exercise and cannabis work together.
Have you ever heard of \\\"runner's high?\\\" While that's generally attributed to the rush of endorphins that comes with physical exertion, there's more to it. In the last two decades, science has discovered that exercise activates the endocannabinoid system in the same way that cannabis does. In other words, the body produces natural cannabinoids (specifically, anandamide) during exercise, possibly as a mechanism for easing pain.
Dr. Marcel Bonn-Miller, an adjunct assistant professor of psychology in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine told the New York Times earlier this year that \\\"There's a lot of overlap in terms of the pathways that are activated between what's known as a runner's high and the high that comes from THC. Both of those involve activation of the endocannabinoid system, so it's not too surprising that THC might be used to enhance the runner's high that's gained from endurance exercise.\\\" One can surmise that the body is naturally set up for a positive interaction between exercise and cannabis.
Then there's the whole mental angle. Utra-marathoner Avery Collins is a very vocal advocate of using cannabis in conjunction with his sport. In the aforementioned New York Times article, Collins was quoted as saying, \\\"it (cannabis use) allowed me to be very present and not to worry as much about overall times and what's going on with the run.\\\" In an interview with Civilized, Collins said, \\\"you don't think about anything but what's currently going on. It makes the greens greener and the blues bluer u2013 but it's much more than that. It makes the run very spiritual.\\\"
Jackie Subeck, avid hiker and CEO of consulting firm Hey Jackpot, agrees. In an interview with Civilized she said, \\\"Cannabis is something I do prior to a workout because it helps balance my system and lets me quickly remove the stress of the workdayu2026 it allows me to connect with my body and the athletic part of me a lot quicker and a lot easier because otherwise I might be stressing 90 percent of the time while trying to decompress.\\\"
Finally, there's ample evidence that CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, is an effective anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving agent. Avid runner Stefan Borst-Censullo told Civilized in yet another article, \\\"cannabis has a lot of the anti-inflammatory properties that people who take a daily aspirin get, but without eating away at your liver and stomach lining.\\\"
If you think that your fitness routine may benefit from cannabis, The Green Solution can help. The first step in your cannabis + exercise routine should be establishing a plan (that way you should get better results than just ripping a bong hit and sprinting around the block). What are you looking for? A way to get into a good headspace? An enhanced runner's high? Rest and recovery? Having a plan will help you decide what you're looking for, both in terms of consumption method and preferred strains. Two simple ways to incorporate cannabis into your workout are tinctures (for use before working out to gently get you in the right mental zone) and topicals (to assist in muscle recovery). Check out our entire inventory at https://www.tgscolorado.com/ u2026you can even reserve the products you want online and have them waiting for you to pick up at the Express Window. Or, head into any of our locations and ask a friendly Retail Associate to assist you in choosing.
