Helpful tips for buying cannabis products online

Determine the Best Cannabis Product

Before you go and buy cannabis products for medical or even recreational purposes, you want to make sure that you know the right product that can give you your desired effects. You can do this by simply listing down the types of results you want and those that you do not want. This will help you eliminate the kinds of products that you might not like and those that are perfect for your needs and preferences.

For example, you are looking for a potent product that can give you an energetic and more focused experience. You can check out items that have high CBD content. However, if you are into a more euphoric and laidback experience, then those with high levels of THC is perfect for you.

If you are not sure what type of item will give you the effect you are looking for, then you can always send an inquiry to the online shop. Receiving a response from them is a plus as it shows that they attend to their potential customers’ questions.

Now that you know the most important things about buying cannabis products online, you can definitely include these items in your online shopping list. This way, you just have to sit back and relax in the comfort of your home and wait for your cannabis item to arrive.

Mysterious vaping illness claimed a second life just recently in the state of Oregon. However, authorities believe that this marijuana-linked subject has now affected more than 200 individuals across 25 states.

According to the New York Health Department revealed the lung disease was connected to cannabis e-cigarette products on the market. Based on the finding of the New York Health Department, marijuana vaping products contained high levels of vitamin E. Individuals who used these vaping materials reportedly encountered pulmonary illness.

Two deaths have resulted from these vaping products purchased at legal dispensaries in the country, states the Independent. The first death was reported by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Despite investigating the issue, officials from the Oregon Health Authority say that they are still unaware of the deaths that affected these individuals.

In total, 215 cases of vaping-related diseases have been assessed all over the 25 states. Following this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention alongside the Food and Drug Administration decided to further investigate these cases.

34 of these cases occurred in New York, with users saying they smoked a variety of vaping products. However, only marijuana-based e-cigarette products yielded results that showed high levels of vitamin E acetate. CNBC states that vitamin E acetate should not legally be mixed or added with other marijuana vaping components.

While vitamin E has no known implications or repercussion when directly applied on the skin or taken as a supplement, experts are still studying its effect when smoked or inhaled by the user. The oil which vitamin E acetate is derived from could coat the lungs of the user.

Although results of the ongoing investigations remain inconclusive, the American Vaping Association released a statement saying illegal vape pens which contained THC, the compound that gives vapers and marijuana users its high, are the ones to blame.

As a precaution, the Health Department of New York issued an advisory last August 2019. This notice urged health care providers to look for symptoms that indicate illnesses including coughing, shortness of breath, fever, fatigue, and weight loss.

In line with the numerous health-related concerns and severe respiratory illnesses relating to marijuana, states have started issuing warnings one by one. For one, CNBC reports that Michigan already banned flavored e-cigarette products.

Likewise, Senator Ron Wyden from the state of Oregon disclosed he plans on introducing taxation on e-cigarette products. Wyden hopes to discourage both the youth and adults from smoking and or vaping these products, especially when these have serious health implications.

BevCanna Enterprises Inc., a cannabis startup company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, was recently awarded the Health Canada Cannabis Research License. The license was awarded only days after the company’s initial success in launching its own line of cannabis beverages to the public.

This is the second license awarded to the company, with the first being awarded earlier in June 2019. Apart from the research licensing, the cannabis firm also attained the Industrial Hemp Cultivation License.

In the company’s press release, BevCanna mentions that the awarded research license allows the firm to proceed with their development and research processes, “such as SOP development, stability testing, sensory evaluation and quality assurance for house brands and white label clients.” The research will be spearheaded by chief commercialization officer of the company, Emma Andrews, alongside the Quality Assurance and Production Team of the company.

The company’s research license award is linked to their study, with research focusing on the “Stability and Homogeneity of Water Soluble Cannabinoid Infusions in Water Based Beverages.” The series of trials will focus on studying the brands launched under the company, namely Anarchist Mountain Beverages and Grüv Beverages.

According to Financial Post, the company’s line of Grüv Beverages focuses on providing the public with cannabis-infused iced tea drinks, with flavors such as ginger mint herbal iced tea and matcha green iced tea taking center stage. The drinks are laced with a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD to “provide consumers with a mild, yet effective cannabis experiences,” says Andrews. In total, a single serving of 375-ml of cannabis-infused iced tea contains 5 milligrams of THC and 5 milligrams of CBD.

Further testing and research studies will be conducted in the business’ HACCP-certified bottling facility located near Bridesville, British Columbia. The facility houses 40,000 square feet of land, boasting of its spring water aquifer.

Andrews finds the alkaline spring water aquifer essential to creating their line, as stated in the press release. In addition to their facility, Andrews notes that they “have unmatched assets and expertise… that will allow us to achieve a speed to market advantage.”

The facility will focus its efforts towards testing cannabinoid infusion equipment, as well as improving dosages as it eyes widespread expansion and distribution both in the country and in the United States. BevCanna is slated to enter the commercial market come 2020. However, the business intends to introduce its products to the Canadian market this October 2019.
