What Is THC-O? Can It Be A Dietary Addition?

The marijuana market is constantly expanding, and each day we see a new cannabis product. Keeping up with all these new products and their details can be tricky and exhausting for most consumers. One such new product in the market is THC-O. It is a synthetic compound derived from the natural cannabis plant. Since this product is relatively new in the market, several of its properties and effects remain unknown.

However, the research conducted on THC-O has pointed out its benefits when consumed in moderation. However, the main question still stands- Can you include THC-O in your diet? What benefits will it offer to your body and mind? Moreover, what can be the possible side effects of consuming THC-O as a dietary addition? Don't worry because we are here to answer all your questions! But first, let us summarise all that we know about the compound THC-O.


All About THC-O And Its Production

The compound THC-O comes from the hemp plant. In terms of potency, it is three times more effective than your simple THC compound. As far as the legality of this product is concerned, it is a grey area as THC-O originates from legally acceptable hemp plants. For producing THC-O, the molecules of the hemp plant are first dissolved and then extracted. After the extraction process, the THC compound stays dissolved in the solvent, which results in the production of a highly potent and concentrated liquid. The solvents used in this process are high-quality alcohol or acetone.

It is also crucial to buy your THC-O product from a reputed brand. These brands follow strict guidelines and a sophisticated production process while producing THC-O, thus ensuring its high quality. As mentioned earlier, THC-O is a new product in the market. And that is why it is available in limited products such as THC-O gummies and THC-O vapes. However, these products promise you high quality and concentrated amounts of THC-O combined with a sweet taste.

The high induced by THC-O is similar to the one given by the natural cannabis plant. However, as THC-O gets combined with several other substances, it possesses a high potency. Thus, even a little dose of THC-O can produce a more intense and long-lasting high than your organic cannabis plant and its related compounds.

THC-O As A Dietary Supplement: Benefits and Side Effects

Benefits of Including THC-O In Your Diet

Before consuming THC-O, it is vital to get informed about its benefits and effects on your mind and body. Moreover, it is advised that you start with a small dose of THC-O, notice the benefits it offers, and then include it as a part of your diet. Because THC-O is a highly concentrated compound, we recommend you first figure out the ideal dosage amount. Then you can take it as a dietary supplement.

The compound THC-O is famous for its high potency and psychedelic properties. If you need to relax your mind and want to trip, THC-O can be your go-to product as even its small dose can produce a long-lasting high. Additionally, consuming THC-O can relax your whole body, give you a strong buzz, relax your emotions, and offer a sense of spirituality. THC-O can also lead you to deeply introspect yourself and aid you in your therapeutic and meditation activities.

Consequently, consuming THC-O can even help you manage your anxiety and stress levels. Thus, if you feel a constant need for these effects, you can consume THC-O as a dietary supplement.

Side Effects Of THC-O

If you consume a high amount of THC, you may experience side effects such as paranoia and anxiety. And as THC-O is three times more potent than THC, these side effects may occur sooner and significantly affect your health. It could especially be the case if you have little to no experience consuming highly potent cannabinoids.

However, not all people experience these effects, and they differ from consumer to consumer. You should also note that these are only minor risks when you don't limit your dosage to an appropriate amount. But if you stay cautious while deciding your ideal dosage, THC-O can become a great addition to your diet!

How Can You Ensure The Quality Of Your THC-O Product?

While buying your supply of THC-O, you should first know about the origin of your product. Try doing thorough research and examining every detail about the source, brand, manufacturer, and laboratory from where you are thinking of buying the compound. It will help you stay safe from low-quality products available in the market.

All high-quality THC-O products have gone through a strict and sophisticated screening process. Moreover, reputed vendors always get their products tested by third-party labs and publish their results online to maintain transparency. Thus, while skimming through the market, you should keep these points in mind and then choose the brand from which you can buy your THC-O supply. Additionally, you can ask around in your cannabis circle and choose the most trusted brand based on its consumer reports.

Conclusion

THC-O and other compounds like Delta-10 and Delta-8 THC serve as an effective alternative to the controversial Delta-9 THC. These products are new in the market and are seemingly beneficial innovations for consumers. The only minus point is the lack of scientific research to back the advantages and safety of using these products. However, there is significant hope that things will change over time.

Several scientific studies have pointed out that THC-O could be even more potent than Delta-9 THC. Hence, you must use it judiciously and cautiously. If you experience any drastic side effects, you should immediately stop your dosage and consult your physician. However, there have been negligible user reports about the dangers of THC-O. Thus, this compound is rapidly gaining popularity in the cannabis circle. After keeping all this information in mind, you should first try THC-O products yourself and then make any decisions about their inclusion in your diet. So what are you waiting for? Try THC-O now!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
