Alongside the holidays come the all-too-familiar stresses of the season, and a recent survey conducted by CBD Oracle revealed that Americans are changing the way they cope with the holiday chaos. Thanks to the wave of cannabis legalization sweeping the country, it seems that many Americans are ditching their cocktails for joints this year.
CBD Oracle surveyed 2,000 cannabis users to find out how holiday consumption habits were changing across the country. Of those polled, close to 70% said that they planned to use cannabis over the holidays, with 65% saying that cannabis would replace most, if not all, of their alcohol intake.
Additionally, 48% of respondents said that smoking would make them more comfortable discussing difficult topics like politics with their families. Look at cannabis bringing families together! Speaking of which, 47% of those polled even said that they would be willing to get together and smoke with their families.
While this is all great news, the poll also had some discouraging figures. For example, 49% said they would drive while high, and 12% said they would drive drunk and high. This should be a cause for concern, as numbers have shown that car crashes resulting in injuries increase by 6% in states where cannabis is legal. Though researchers have pointed out that some of these incidents can be attributed to mixing cannabis and alcohol, intoxicated driving is always risky and should be avoided.
While Veriheal highly endorses a high holiday, make sure to stay off the roads after consuming. Happy Holidays, from our family to yours.
Merry Christmas, from my own experience, how high do you need to be to enjoy Christmas and New Years with family and friends??
One or the other and if driving or get a ride….moderation!!!
In 2018, former President Donald Trump signed the Farm Bill into law. The Farm Bill is the federal government’s primary agricultural and food policy instrument. Every five years, Congress deals with renewing and revising the comprehensive bill. Before 2018, cannabis was not part of the conversation around farm subsidies or crop insurance. With the passing…
Nobody wants to spend time with paranoid Pete, but if you don’t choose your cannabis strains wisely, you could get flung into a portal of paranoia yourself. Funnily enough, a recent Marist poll found that almost a third of cannabis users in the U.S. use marijuana to ease anxiety or stress. A separate Marist poll…
Alternative medicine is becoming more widely acknowledged and practiced than ever before, opening the door for therapies like psychedelics to enter the world of mainstream healthcare.

Consuming alcohol heavily in young adulthood is associated with an increased likelihood of developing alcohol use disorder (AUD), the most widespread substance-related disorder worldwide. Research has already shed light on the effects of individual differences like alcohol sensitivity and cardiovascular responses in predicting binge drinking behaviors and progression to AUD. However, there remains a gap…
Despite being far from new, psychedelic therapy is an avenue of medicine that is gaining more traction these days. Many people believe that psychedelics such as MDMA and psilocybin could potentially help improve the mental health of people, especially veterans.
