This is Weed. And this is Wack with WOWDY Gardens. We are an organic gardening show that likes to talk about all the aspects of gardening. And we like to use recycled products as much as we can for growing things. And today we’re going to divert a little bit from the task. And a growing cannabis is now legal in Maryland. And D.C. And D.C.
would like to switch the subject a bit and talk about. Our endocannabinoid system reset. Right. And what is the endocannabinoid system? Let’s start with that first. The endocannabinoid system is the largest system we have inside our bodies. And it is in every single organ of our bodies and basically CBD mainly reacts to these different receptors that we have in our bodies known as a CB1.
and CB2 receptors. And animals have this system inside our bodies. So that means our body produces a cannabinoid like substance. Yes, it produces its own cannabinoids on their own. And when you add CBD and the other cannabinoids to that, it really boosts the system, makes everything work better. So in order to make sure. No wonder people have been growing this stuff forever.
Yeah. In order for your endocannabinoid system to work properly, it needs to be reset on a regular basis. And that means after a certain period of time, you need to stop all cannabinoids for four consecutive days. And the reason you need to stop for four is because they stay in your system for three days. So just as when you’re first starting to take a CBD product, you need to
take a little tiny bit for the first three days. And then on the fourth day, you can increase your dose because it will start working for you. Just as you need to do that, you need to when you do the reset, you need to remove this stuff and it takes that long to get out of you. Just like it takes that long to get into you. So if you consume cannabis, whether you grow it yourself or you go to a dispensary, you should if you want the cannabis to work as well as it does,
you need to take it out of your system. And if you don’t do this, eventually it will stop working for you. So some folks say, well, I’ve gotten this weed and I smoke it and it will work to the beginning, but now it doesn’t seem to get
me high anymore. What’s wrong? Well, what’s wrong is you need to stop it for four days and then start it again and it’ll work just fine. Right. And this plays in with the idea of moderation and all things is probably probably the better way to go. Absolutely. On things. Absolutely. Don’t overdo anything. But do your reset on a regular basis.
And your CBD will work for you and whatever you’re consuming for your recreational enjoyment will work as well. Right. Yeah. Take a break from anything that you do consistently. It’s always good to have variety in things. That’s right. So what did we learn from today’s episode? What did we learn? A fascinating science about the endocannaboid system that
I quite haven’t wrapped my head around and I have a feeling the scientific community hasn’t either. I just know taking a break from cannabis and then using it again is a good way to consume the stuff. CBD blocks COVID on a molecular level. It’s by far the best thing you can do to protect yourself from COVID. And speaking of which, if you want
to protect yourself from COVID, you want to stay away from folks on that last day of your endocannabinoid system reset, because on that last day, on that fourth day, you have zero CBD in sight in your system. Interesting. They’re not protected. Interesting. So that’s a little off topic, but it’s a good thing to know anyway. So our takeaway is with your CBD products is take it consistently for what? How many days? Well, a couple months and then stop for four days in a row.
And then start again. And same thing if you want to, you know, looking for recreational use of cannabis flower. Follow the same rule. Follow the same rule. Well, that’s great advice. And thank you for listening. So goodbye from weed and whack. Join us next week because we’ll be back.
