It’s that time of year again. The clocks have turned over to a new day, a new year, and everyone feels compelled to make resolutions for the New Year. Here are five cannabis-related resolutions that you can actually keep.

Keep it out of sight, out of mind

We all know that cannabis products are typically hidden away in someone’s home. It is important it is to keep them out of sight.  Typically, when someone sees cannabis products, they can guess what they are and the person who owns them probably wouldn’t want other people knowing about their private vices.

A study done by Segmen Research found that 58 percent of Americans would be uncomfortable if their neighbors grew cannabis plants in their backyard. So, if you’re doing it right, your neighbor should never see or know about your plants!

Here are some other things to consider:

• Cannabis plants need protection from the elements, especially in cold climates where the temperature dips below freezing during winter months
• Shrubs and trees should be thinned out near your plants so that less sunshine gets blocked. This also helps to maintain the humidity around your plants by cutting off wind flow
• The more space between your plants, the better; this will help improve air circulation and prevent pests like spider mites
• Consider adding a privacy fence or planting tall grass around your plants for added privacy

Save money with cannabis

Cannabis has been shown to decrease opiate usage, which is a big deal for people who have been prescribed these drugs. Cannabis also has the potential to lower healthcare costs across the board.

If you’re going to keep resolutions this year, it’s time to be realistic. We all want to save money, but how? Consider switching from expensive prescriptions or painkillers that can cost thousands of dollars a month at your local pharmacy, to cannabis products.  It’s time for you and your family to reap the benefits of this natural medicine. Cannabis is less addictive than prescription medicines and more cost effective.  As a result, you might consider investing in medical cannabis if you haven’t already done so. Cannabis could help alleviate some of those costly monthly expenses that you don’t really need! 

Quit smoking cigarettes

If you smoke cigarettes, you may want to consider quitting. Cannabis has been shown to help with the symptoms of tobacco withdrawal and can be a healthier and more satisfying substitute.  Smoking cigarettes is an extremely harmful habit that causes lung cancer and is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking cigarettes also causes many other illnesses, such as asthma and pneumonia.

Cannabis is an herb that will provide you with natural relief from your symptoms, but won’t cause any of these illnesses. It’s unfortunate that many people have not considered this option before they’ve started smoking because it could have saved them a lot of health problems later in life.

Get off that couch and stay active

This is one of the most common resolutions that people make and quickly regret.  You may think that sitting on the couch all day is harmless, but it’s not. Sitting for long periods actually increases your risk of cancer, obesity, and heart disease. Sitting also has a negative impact on your mental health and well-being: It can cause depression and anxiety.

The solution? Get off that couch! Exercising provides many benefits to your mind and body, including improved mood, better sleep, reduced stress, lower blood pressure, weight loss, improved cholesterol levels, protection against diabetes, stronger bones and muscles…the list goes on.

Don’t be afraid to try out new fitness routines or switch up your workout routine for something new. Be sure to consult your doctor first if you have any medical conditions or injuries before starting an exercise regimen.

Sleep better

One of the biggest problems most people face is sleep deprivation. Lack of sleep can lead to a number of health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and depression. It’s not just people who work long hours that are at risk for sleep deprivation. A lack of sleep can cause problems with concentration, memory, and creativity. Cannabis can help you get better sleep and improve your overall health.

Conclusion

Cannabis can help you turn over a new leaf this year by helping you with common resolutions like quitting smoking cigarettes and staying active. But, it’s important to remember that cannabis is still a drug and should be used responsibly. When it comes to your health and wellness, cannabis can be an ally but it won’t solve all of your problems.
