5 Ways Cannabis Can help you meet your 2020 Wellness Goals
Local’s wants to help you make this new decade really count, so we’ve put together 5 ways that cannabis can help you meet your 2020 wellness goals.
- Weight Loss – While THC increases appetite, for some, CBD has been known to actually decrease appetite. This could be an easy way to suppress your appetite during the day without worrying about any psychoactive effects. For those with a sweet tooth, choose an edible and get your sweet fix at the same time!

- Muscle Recovery – Is getting physically fit one of your resolutions for the new decade?! Turn day 2 after leg day into another day at the gym with CBD recovery products. Did you know that CBD is an anti-inflammatory? While certain inflammation post-workout does encourage muscle growth and faster recovery, it can also damage nearby muscle and joint tissue. CBD has been shown to inhibit a wide range of inflammatory molecules while having little effect on the inflammatory molecules that aid in muscle growth and recovery. This means faster recovery times and getting back into the gym.

- Lowering Stress & Anxiety– is it just us or does each year seem to get more stressful?! Luckily you can use cannabis to help. Studies have shown that CBD has helped reduce anxiety in mice and may be able to help you too! We recommend using full-spectrum CBD or a combination of CBD and THC to kick that entourage effect into gear and reap all the benefits. However, this can be a little tricky as too much cannabis can have the opposite effect and create more stress and anxiety for you. Since CBD can reduce the psychoactive effects in THC, we recommend starting small and experimenting with cannabis that has higher ratios of CBD.

- Going Dry – Are you looking for a head change, but decided to quit drinking for a month or two? Try switching to cannabis. A Sativa strain can give you the head change you’re looking for without making you anti-social and sleepy. If you’re out and about and worried about the smell, consider adding a tincture to your beverage or eating an edible.

- Sleep – Did you know that getting less than the recommended 7 hours of sleep can lead to serious health problems like Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure, and even heart failure? Cannabis with high levels of THC may be able to help induce sleep and restore your natural sleep cycle. Consider choosing Indica strains when picking a cannabis product as Indicas are known to make people feel sleepy!
