If you’re here you more than likely are a cannabis consumer and you’ve probably heard everything about its two most popular cannabinoids, THC and CBD. However, these aren’t the only cannabinoids produced by the plant. You’ll also find minor cannabinoids, like CBN (cannabinol), among others. Throughout the fascinating life span of cannabis growth and cultivation, there are a variety of chemical changes, that brings about the production of different cannabinoids. Like in all living things the compounds found in cannabis are the chemical building blocks that give the plant its unique properties. When it comes to CBN its characteristics develop much later on in the cannabinoid development stages. As cannabis grows, cannabinoids evolve into one another – CBG into CBD and THC, and in the case of CBN, it starts out as THCa. In a process called decarboxylation, where elements such as heat, UV light, and oxygen are exposed to the plant material, chemical changes prompt transitions where THC begins to deteriorate and converts into CBN. It is thought CBN is generally found in the maturing stages of cannabis development, thus why it is often found in higher amounts in old or incorrectly stored cannabis flowers that have been exposed to the elements. So how exactly does CBN work? Well, like all cannabinoids, it is believed the CBN interacts with the endocannabinoid system. This internal system is responsible for an array of bodily functions – including regulating sleep and immune function. Our bodies are filled with cannabinoid receptors that are ready to receive incoming messages when cannabinoids are introduced to the body. Scientific research suggests that it binds to the CB2 receptor, and in turn promotes a nice sedating effect. This is why we recommend trying something with some of this great cannabinoid in it if you’re looking to get some rest.

Today, there are countless cannabis products on the market. No matter what your preference or your specific goals with the plant, there’s something for everyone. Many users have a favorite strain or a preferred method of consumption. If you’re looking for something easy, discreet, and allows for accurate dosing, look no further than liquid cannabis. What is Liquid Cannabis? Technically speaking, it’s a tincture. The process of making it involves soaking the cannabis plant in alcohol to extract the desired compounds. There are THC tinctures, CBD, tinctures, and tinctures that have varying ratios of the two cannabinoids. Liquid cannabis products get packaged in opaque amber or blue bottles. The bottle cap contains a special dropper that allows you to measure and take your desired dose. How to Use It You have a few options for taking liquid cannabis. One of the most popular methods is to drop your dose under your tongue. With this method, the cannabinoids absorb directly into your bloodstream, enabling the liquid to take effect in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. A second way is to drop your dose into your mouth and swallow it. If you’re not a fan of the taste, you can also add the desired amount to your food or drink to mask the flavor. Keep in mind that these methods of consumption take longer for your body to process. As a result, it takes longer for you to feel any effects. Accurate and Discreet Dosing The cap of a cannabis liquid bottle typically has a dropper attached to it. The dropper has marks on the side that usually indicate every quarter of a milliliter. As such, you can measure out the exact amount you need. There’s no question about how much THC or CBD you’re getting . A major benefit of b eing able to measure liquid cannabis accurately is that it makes microdosing and finding your perfect dose a cinch. You can start with the smallest possible amount and slowly increase the amount you take until you find the dose that works best for you. Another advantage of liquid cannabis is that it’s one of the most discreet options available. The bottle is incredibly small, enabling you to stash it in your bag and take it wherever you go. It doesn’t produce any smoke or vapor, nor does it give off any odors. You can take your dose quickly without drawing any unwanted attention. Other benefits include: Providing an alternative to those with respiratory issues or for those who don’t want to smoke or vape It doesn’t engage the digestive system (unless taken with food or drink), providing a solution to those who might have gastric issues With proper storage, the liquid can last a long time Liquid cannabis is incredibly versatile. Not only do you have several options to choose from for consumption, but the product also provides discretion as well as accurate dosing. If you’re interested in giving it a try, speak with a budtender during your next dispensary visit.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

For centuries, women have best understood the plant’s health, wellness and beauty benefits (as well as its contribution to good living). Marijuana matriarchs—mothers, daughters and sisters—have played an important role in defining cannabis’ uses and for most of history served as caretakers of the plant’s many parts: seeds (food and oil), roots (medicine), stems (textiles, rope and paper), leaves and flowers (intoxication and medicine).  So, who are our role models today? Who are the women that have kept the plant alive, even when society turned its back or maligned it? Let’s start at the beginning. 3rd millennium BC: Goddesses and plants were exalted for their healing powers. The Sumerian goddess Ishtar was associated with cannabis and people in temples burned kaneh bosm (cannabis) incense in her honor. Ancient Egypt: Cannabis was ground and mixed with honey to induce contractions and ease childbirth.   Mayan and Aztec women took baths with medicinal herbs including cannabis for menstrual relief. 7th-century India: Cannabis was mixed with milk, water and spices to create a potion that enhanced sex.  11th-century Europe: Premenstrual women preferred a cannabis topical as an anti-inflammatory to reduce breast swelling. 12th century: Hildegard of Bingen, a German composer, philosopher and Christian mystic, grew hemp in her garden and wrote on herbal medicine. From her medical work Physica: “…a towel prepared out of hemp laid upon sores and wounds works well since warmth is contained within it.”  Mid 1800s : Social reformer, novelist and first female sociologist Harriet Martineau (the great great great grandmother of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge) wrote about her desert travels: “Ale provided the greatest possible refreshment, except the chibouque [a pipe].” She also wrote about Arab women who would blow smoke at Jewish women on the Sabbath as they were forbidden to smoke on that day. European midwives: An 1840 law stipulated that for Cesarean sections, the mother should be bandaged with a plaster made of three eggs, hemp cloth and Armenian earth. 1860s: Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women, wrote short stories about hashish that indicate she may have tried (and liked) it. The story “Perilous Play” is about two would-be lovers getting high, lost in a boat and then engaged. She described the plant’s effects: “A heavenly dreaminess comes over one, in which they move as if on air. Everything is calm and lovely to them: no pain, no care, no fear of anything, and while it lasts one feels like an angel half asleep.” 1890: Queen Victoria’s doctor, J. R. Reynolds, reportedly prescribed a cannabis tincture to ease the pain of her menstrual cramps. Early 1900s: Writer (Out of Africa) and explorer, Isak Dinesen experimented with hashish, opium and miraa (an African mild hallucinogenic herb). Dinesen refers to cannabis in her story “The Dreamers” by its other name, murungu, an herb whose dried leaves “keep you awake and in a pleasant mood.” 1930s: Billie Holiday smoked marijuana, recorded “He Ain’t Got No Rhythm,” “This Year’s Kisses,” “Why I Was Born” and “I Must Have That Man.” 1930s: Young Russian brides mixed cannabis and lamb fat to reduce pain of intercourse on their wedding nights.  1940s-1970s: Maya Angelou tries cannabis and reports positive results but when her autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is published in 1974, it is still viewed as taboo. “Smoking grass eased the strain for me. I made a connection at a restaurant nearby. People called it Mary Jane, hash, grass, gauge, weed, pot, and I had absolutely no fear of using it.”  Angelou goes on to describe her experience: “From a natural stiffness I melted into a grinning tolerance. Walking on the streets became high adventure, eating my mother’s huge dinners an opulent entertainment, and playing with my son was side-cracking hilarity. For the first time, life amused me.” 1954: The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook is published, following the death of her lifelong partner, Gertrude Stein. It includes personal musings, French recipes, and the now infamous Moroccan cannabis brownie.  1969: American anthropologist Margaret Mead was branded a “dope fiend” because of her Senate testimony: ”It is my considered opinion that at present that marihuana is not harmful unless it is taken in enormous and excessive amounts. I believe that we are damaging this country, damaging our law, our whole law enforcement situation, damaging the trust between the older people and younger people by its prohibition, and this is far more serious than any damage that might be done to a few overusers, because you can get damage from any kind of overuse.” 1970s: Veteran activist Alice O’Leary Randall worked alongside her husband Robert “Bob” Randall to become the first legal pot smoker in the US since 1937. They built the medical marijuana compassionate care program. 1980s: Mary Jane Rathbun (also known as Brownie Mary) developed a recipe for cannabis-laced brownies, which she called “magically delicious.” As the AIDS crisis devastated San Francisco, she would walk the hallways of San Francisco General Hospital handing out brownies to alleviate the suffering of patients. 2002: Nearly 600 gather for NORML’s ( norml.org ) national conference to hear author Barbara Ehrenreich and Nevada State Assemblywoman Christina Giunchigliani speak.  2006: Fulla Nayak of India dies at what is believed to be age 125. She attributed her long life to her ganja cigars. 2014: Jane West launches Women Grow. The organization focuses on female leadership in the cannabis industry with the stated goal of turning cannabis into the first female-led, billion dollar industry. We’ve still got a ways to go!

Your mood affects every aspect of your life. If you’re sad, anxious, or depressed, you might withdraw from friends and family. You may start to avoid social situations. Whether it’s a physical ailment affecting your mood or you’re dealing with a mental health disorder such as anxiety or depression, cannabis may be able to help. Here are some of the benefits of weed for your mood. What Benefits Does Weed Have on Mood? Being in physical pain can have a substantial impact on your mood. If you’re hurting, you’re not likely going to feel happy. After all, performing certain tasks or movements may be excruciating. Cannabis is becoming a popular alternative treatment for pain . When the cannabinoids interact with your cannabinoid receptors, they can help to dull the signals sent to the brain, providing you with some much-needed relief.  Cannabis can also help to improve your mood if you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Like pain, all of these mental health conditions take their toll on your mood. Certain strains of weed can help to decrease feelings of anxiety, help you to relax, and feel better overall. As the cannabinoids interact with your cannabinoid receptors, they can help to stimulate your dopamine production as well. How Terpenes Help It’s not just THC and CBD that can help boost your mood. Different strains of cannabis have a variety of different types of terpenes. While their main function is to provide the plants with their scent and taste, certain ones can also impact your mood. For instance, linalool can help to promote relaxation. Myrcene, one of the most common terpenes, is also known to help encourage calmness. These compounds also work in tandem with cannabinoids to enhance the effects. Avoid the Side Effects of Conventional Treatment When it comes to treating pain, anxiety, and depression, prescription medications tend to be the most common solution. While they may provide relief for some, they’re not effective for everyone. Not only that, but these medications often come with unwanted side effects. Some can become addictive, too. Cannabis provides an alternative to conventional treatment. It does not produce the same harsh side effects. Nor is there the same risk of dependency. Getting the Right Dose While cannabis is an effective therapy for helping to improve your mood , you need to make sure that you get your dose right. Taking too much (particularly of a THC strain) can have the opposite effect of what you’re looking to achieve. For instance, if you’re using weed to counteract anxiety, too much THC can worsen your symptoms rather than provide you with relief.  One of the best ways to find your ideal dose is to start small. You can begin with as little as 1mg of THC. Gradually increase your dose until you start to feel the effects you want. You may find it beneficial to keep a journal noting the strain you’re using and how it makes you feel. Weed may help to boost your mood, which can then help to improve your overall quality of life. If you’re interested in trying cannabis to improve your mental state, speak with your physician. You can also visit your local dispensary and consult with a budtender for helpful information.

When it comes to vaping your cannabis, you have many, many options to choose from. Today we wanna highlight the classic and well known 510 thread vape as well as some of the current compatible cartridges we offer on our menu and why we love them. You’re going to need a 510 thread battery to work with any one of these vapes, and there are a lot of different options to choose from out there, but a good place to begin with us would be our signature Rebelle 510 battery which includes a charger as well as 3 different heat settings to help you get your perfect hit. Let’s dive into the good stuff. Tahitian Punch distillate cartridge by RYTHM Strains Sour Tangie and Sour Apple join forces to create this energizing and euphoric strain that is “the highlight of my day” says our visual merchandising coordinator Tyler. “I genuinely get so excited whenever we get this back on the menu. It is hands down my FAVORITE strain! The strong citrus flavor and creative energetic high lifts me up when I need it and keeps me soaring through the day with great vibes.” Strawnana distillate cartridge by Strane “Lately when I’m going to pick out a new vape I’ve been going straight for anything by Strane! I’ve found that their cartridges are consistently great quality. Great flavor, great potency, minimal clogging, all things I look for in a great vape cartridge and Strane ticks all the boxes.” Says one of our wonderful budtenders Sam, “Strawnana is a strain I love to use around dinner time, I’m definitely not ready for bed yet but I am ready to destress and put my feet up and have a good time.” Kush Clouds Live Rosin Sauce cartridge from Blue River If you prefer the stinky stink and funky taste of flower you will absolutely love this one! “Blue River has pleasantly changed my outlook on vape carts,” Say’s budtender Meghan, “with its solventless extraction methods and full bouquet of terpenes, every strain I have tried, from Kush Clouds to Grapes ‘n Cream, have been outstanding.  If you want to come as close to the beloved bud as possible, Blue River LRS (live rosin sauce) carts are a cut above the rest and an essential additional to one’s cannabis arsenal.” Dosi Jam Liquid Live Resin cartridge from Cresco Big Grape and Do-Si-Lato strains meet to create the incredibly calm and fruity Dosi Jam strain. Danielle, head of our inventory team says this is her to go for melting the stressors of her day away. “A toke of this before, during, and after my nighttime routine helps ensure that my mind won’t be racing by the time I hit the sheets. Plus liquid live resin carts are always packed with flavor so I know I’m gonna love every hit.” Kat our keyholder agrees and goes on to add “They’re always reliable, smooth, and terpene-forward. Dosi Jam is totally my jam!” Forbidden Zkittlez distillate cartridge from Nature’s Heritage “Nature’s Heritage always delivers great sticky, smelly flower consistently and their other products are no different in my opinion.” says our customer service rep Alex. “What I love about the Forbidden Zkittlez strain is the happy high it delivers. It’s like a warm hug with an old friend you haven’t seen in a while, a giggly fun good time every time.” Trainwreck distillate cartridge from Strane “While I’m doing a creative project, I like to use a strain much like Trainwreck to keep my innovative ideas flowing while I work. And with the convenience and ease of vaping I don’t have to go far to get to that place I need to be mentally to get the job done.” Says our inventory specialist and keyholder Rachael about this brand new drop. But she swears by all of Strane vape cartridges because of their potency. “The feeling from these vapes are perfect for someone with a higher tolerance such as me. They’re not harsh on the throat and the taste is pleasant. If your main form of consumption is vaping, these are worth checking out.” #cartridges #StaffPicks #THC #vape

A Beginner’s Guide… Maybe you’ve heard that cannabis is an aphrodisiac or that smoking before sex can enhance the experience. It can definitely relax you, quiet the mind, increase confidence and connection and add dimension to tactile sensations. But what’s really going on? On the surface, cannabis does slow down the perception of time and thus prolongs feelings of pleasure. It also heightens all of the senses — not only touch, but smell, sound and, as anyone who has scoffed down a pint of ice cream after a joint knows, taste. But what if you could move beyond the orgasm and in that moment, lose yourself and actually connect with your partner and some larger unifying presence? And maybe, recognize them all as one? It may sound a bit woo-woo, but it happens and it has been written about and described by poets and writers for thousands of years. And while we don’t yet have the neuroscience to explain it, and perhaps we never will given that brain studies and random controlled trials aren’t especially effective at measuring these more spiritual things, we do know that if you can find the right strain, dose, mindset and physical setting you’re well on your way to elevating sex to a more sacred ritual.  We do, however, know, that cannabis triggers receptors in the brain and body, which help you to shift gears, relax and ease you into the mood. In the right dose cannabis can also decrease anxiety, stress and pains to get you out of your everyday mindset. What’s more, if you set an intention to be more receptive, you can channel your attention to receiving your partner more fully. Together, these sensations can create an experience that is uplifting, expansive and brings a rush of life force into your body. Some call it pleasure. Others call it heaven.  Of course, there are no roadmaps to this outcome, so we Rebelles have taken it upon ourselves to run our own experiments to create this Beginner’s Guide to Elevated Sex. (Before we get to that, a quick reminder that great health promotes great sex. Get good sleep, eat well (not too much, especially before sex) and exercise regularly to get more blood pumping and and release more endorphins, which will reduce pain and increase pleasure. Set the Mood Everyone’s sexual journey with cannabis is personal, intimate, and determined by how the plant’s combination of terpenes, flavonoids and cannabinoids react with your body, as well as how you react with your surroundings and your partner. So first, take the time to consider mood, strains and product choices.  Next, build anticipation by setting the mood. Remember, God is in the details, so make this mood setting into a ceremony of sorts. Dim the lights and change out regular bulbs with bulbs of different colors. Shut off your computer and phone and place them out of the room. Choose the most sultry playlist. Get out those infused lubricants or any toys you enjoy. While clearing the room of distractions take an edible (the right dose, of course) and let the cannabis do its work. Waiting for the edible to kick in? What about a massage with an infused topical or oil? Once the cannabis takes hold, remember that it affects receptors and nerve pathways in the skin, lips, nipples and genitals — all of those sensitive areas that love to be touched, licked, stroked and otherwise tingled. Besides stimulating sensations in those areas It can also raise dopamine levels in the brain, which means increased pleasure. And be sure to pay attention to the way cannabis is heightening feelings of receptivity between you and your partner. Give in to those feelings. Welcome them. If you’re lucky you may feel that complete merger of body, mind and spirit, which can make orgasm divine. How much better can it get?  PS: If you have any ideas or experiences to contribute, drop us an email.

The CBD 1:1 gives you a bit more euphoria with your relief, while the 10:1 has minimal psychoactive effect, but provides a lot of comfort. “Nothing really does ease the stress of a hard day like my 10:1, with how quickly it kicks in I won’t go anywhere without it now. And the 1:1 has replaced some of the edibles I used to take to help me relax in the evening too” Hannah Kibbe, Operations Manager
