Are magic mushrooms synergistic with cannabis and your ECS?

Sometimes depression can hurt, literally. Interestingly, this has a lot to do with our Endocannabinoid Systems (ECS)—a network that consists of a few receptors and two neurotransmitters. Pain and emotions are tied together through these messengers. And, it is through the ECS that magic mushrooms and cannabis can often bind into a therapeutic (yet counterintuitive) mistake. (1) This infographic details different serotonin receptors and their effects. The ECS and serotonin (5-HT) bind at many receptors, but the focal point of magic mushrooms is 5-HT2a. (2, 3) Other receptors might be the cause of side effects like nausea, though. Photo courtesy […]

Ever since the Farm Bill permitted legal hemp-derived CBD next to illegally cultivated D9-THC, processors began using fifty-year-old chemistry and technology. Due to a loophole in the Bill, massive quantities of legal hemp-derived CBD extracts, or at their subsequent D9 waste, can now soak in acid (chemical isomerization) and slowly churn into D8 THC. (1, 2) When was the last time you asked for a COA (Certificate of Analysis) on your D8-THC product? The law forced the […]
