Hey folks, Board-Certified Health Coach Chloe Maleski is here to answer your questions about cannabis. Whether you're wondering if it's Primal, thinking of experimenting, or trying to cut back, you'll learn important considerations to keep in mind. Got a question you'd like to ask our health coaches? Leave it below in the comments or over in the Mark's Daily Apple Facebook group.  Julie asked: "I never thought I'd be asking this, but is weed Primal? Is it addictive? I'm a 45-year-old mom of two and 'partying' means Netflix in bed. But my state legalized cannabis, and I'm curious to try it. Bad idea or no big deal?" You're not alone in asking this, Julie! As laws around cannabis use change, folks who may not have considered using it previously are curious. The short answer to your first question is Yes…with a caveat. Consumed in its whole plant form, cannabis is Primal. Same holds if you're consuming the whole plant in combination with other Primal ingredients. Many times, however, that's not the case. For one thing, isolated components (rather than the whole plant) are often used in products such as cannabis tinctures and edibles. You'll want to check what other ingredients are tagging along. Perhaps any sugar, inflammatory oils, or other non-Primal ingredients are negligible in the context of your overall diet. Still, the answer to "Is it Primal?" could be a No. Of course, you may be considering smoking it. In that case, there are significant respiratory risks to consider. In whatever form—Primal approved or not—cannabis is potentially addictive. Proceed with some caution. If you do try, start extra slow and take close note of how it makes you feel—not just in the moment, but the next day. You'll also want to have an honest conversation with a reputable dispensary employee. During this conversation: Let them know you're brand new. Ask questions. Explain your desired outcome (e.g., relaxation, better sleep, pain relief). Ask whether CBD or a particular CBD:THC ratio may be a better fit. Also be aware that cannabis affects individuals differently, and not all potential effects are welcome. For instance, while some people use cannabis to help manage insomnia, discontinuing after heavy use can actually disturb sleep. While cannabis offers stress relief for some, in others it increases stress and anxiety. Use is also associated with impaired short-term memory. If you do experiment, it's important to keep the bigger picture in mind: Just because a substance is legal, that doesn't mean it's healthy or good for you! So many factors are at play here, including individual considerations, the type of cannabis, the form of administration, and set and setting. Make sure you've researched laws in your area to know what's allowed, and approach any experimentation with questions, curiosity, and care.   Trey asked: "How can I tell whether my THC habit has gone from casual to dependence? I only take it on weekends (in the form of edibles), but sometimes I worry. Can you weigh in?" Anything we use … Continue reading "Ask a Health Coach: Is Cannabis Primal?"
