As the medical cannabis industry continues to grow, so does our understanding of the plant and its potential benefits. However, there is one aspect of medical cannabis that is often overlooked: its relationship with electromagnetic fields (EMF). EMF is a type of radiation emitted by electronic devices, such as cell phones, laptops, and microwaves. While EMF is generally considered safe, some research suggests that chronic exposure to high levels of EMF may have negative health effects. In this article, we will explore the connection between EMF and medical cannabis, and what it means for patients and providers.
First, let's take a closer look at medical cannabis in Texas. Texas Original is one of a handful of companies legally allowed to sell medical cannabis in the state and they recently opened their first pick-up spot in the Heights, First Ward area. The company sells gummies, tinctures, and lozenges to patients with qualifying conditions, such as cancer, epilepsy, and PTSD. However, while medical cannabis is legal in Texas, it is still a highly regulated industry.
One of the regulations that medical cannabis growers must adhere to is testing for harmful microbials. If a grower fails this test, their only option is to create a distillate of the product. This can be a costly and time-consuming process, but it is necessary to ensure that medical cannabis is safe for patients to use.
Now, let's turn our attention to EMF. Do you ever think about how dangerous it could be to stand next to a microwave? Have you ever paused to consider your dependency on electronic devices? While EMF is generally considered safe, some research suggests that chronic exposure to high levels of EMF may have negative health effects. This means that patients who use medical cannabis may be more susceptible to the negative effects of EMF.
One of the most concerning aspects of EMF is its impact on the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is a complex system of neurotransmitters and receptors that helps regulate many of our bodily functions, including mood, appetite, and sleep. Research suggests that EMF can disrupt the endocannabinoid system, potentially leading to a range of health problems.
So, what does this mean for patients who use medical cannabis? While more research is needed, it is possible that chronic exposure to high levels of EMF could affect the efficacy of medical cannabis. For example, patients may need to use higher doses of medical cannabis to achieve the same level of relief if they are exposed to high levels of EMF.
Fortunately, there are steps that patients and providers can take to minimize their exposure to EMF. One option is to use EMF-reducing devices, such as the Harmoni Pendant. The Harmoni Pendant is a beautiful necklace that has the power to reduce exposure to EMF radiation. The necklace is available in three different designs, making it a stylish and effective way to protect yourself from EMF.
Another option is to limit your use of electronic devices. Do you ever feel as though there are too many electrical devices around you? It appears the use of these devices may have an impact on your health. Limiting your use of electronic devices, especially before bed, can help reduce your exposure to EMF.
Finally, it is important to choose high-quality medical cannabis product from reputable providers. By choosing product that have been tested for harmful microbials and other contaminants, patients can ensure that they are getting safe and effective medical cannabis.
In conclusion, the connection between EMF and medical cannabis is an important one that deserves more attention. While more research is needed, it is clear that chronic exposure to high levels of EMF could have negative effects on the endocannabinoid system, potentially affecting the efficacy of medical cannabis. By taking steps to minimize exposure to EMF and choosing high-quality medical cannabis product, patients can ensure that they are getting the best possible care.
