These small bursts of stress are hardwired into our brains to help us survive and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Long-term or ongoing stress, however, can be extremely detrimental to your health. Not only can ongoing stress result in long-term <a href=\"https:\/\/hivemedicinal.com\/3-key-things-to-remember-when-using-medical-cannabis-to-treat-anxiety\">anxiety<\/a> even after a stressful situation is over, but it can also result in heart disease, muscle pain, weight gain, sleep issues, digestion problems, and much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So how can you cope with ongoing stress? Can medical marijuana help?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, yes. But the long answer is slightly more complicated. Let\u2019s dig in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medical marijuana can combat stress&#8230;when used along with a healthy lifestyle.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like going for one run won\u2019t combat a lifetime of devouring a hamburger for lunch every day, neither will consuming medical cannabis on its own help combat a high stress lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Instead, it\u2019s critical to combat stress by using cannabis as a part of a larger lifestyle change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For instance, if you\u2019re trying to reduce your stress level, combine your medical marijuana usage with a healthy diet and exercise, as well as plenty of sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medical marijuana can combat stress&#8230;when used responsibly.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has shown that in small doses, THC can help cause a stress relieving effect for patients, but higher doses can actually increase the feeling of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to be responsible with dosing and aware of your stress levels as you\u2019re consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>On the other hand, CBD tends to have a more relaxing effect, so many patients prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/hivemedicinal.com\/what-are-the-differences-between-indica-sativa-and-hybrid-cannabis\">strains with higher CBD over those higher in THC<\/a> to deal with stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medical marijuana can combat stress&#8230;when used the right way.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the right strain choice, it\u2019s important to use cannabis in a way that works best to deal with your stress. Not only does personal preference matter, but also how the marijuana hits your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/hivemedicinal.com\/cannabis-edibles-101-effects-dosing-how-to-find-the-right-edible-for-beginners\">edibles<\/a> need longer to take effect, but last longer; while <a href=\"https:\/\/hivemedicinal.com\/cannabis-edibles-101-effects-dosing-how-to-find-the-right-edible-for-beginners\">concentrates<\/a> hit the system faster, but won\u2019t last as long.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Then, choose how you prefer to <a href=\"https:\/\/hivemedicinal.com\/how-to-use-medical-cannabis-4-ways-to-consume-marijuana\">consume your cannabis<\/a>. Whether smoking, vaping, or topical, it\u2019s important to choose a delivery system that ultimately leaves you feeling as relaxed as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>When used with a healthy lifestyle, responsibly, and the right way, medical marijuana can certainly help alleviate stress.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>At Hive Medicinal, we\u2019d love to help with your medical marijuana needs as your local Maine dispensary.
