What are cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that occur naturally in the cannabis plant. The most common source of cannabinoids is the cannabis plant itself. These substances have the unique ability to influence the human endocannabinoid system, which is a complex network of receptors in the body that plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis, i.e. the balance of bodily functions.

The endocannabinoid system is composed of two main types of receptors: CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are found predominantly in the central nervous system, while CB2 receptors are found more in the peripheral nervous system and the immune system.

Cannabinoids interact with these receptors and can have different effects on the human body . For example, some cannabinoids such as THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) have psychoactive effects and can induce a feeling of euphoria, known as a 'high'. THC is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

On the other hand, there are cannabinoids, such as CBD (cannabidiol), which have less or no psychoactive effect and may have various potential therapeutic effects.

In addition to THC and CBD, there are more than a hundred other cannabinoids, each with its own properties and potential effects.

Cannabinoids and cocktails: How does it work?

Cannabinoids and cocktails are an interesting combination for those who want to explore new ways of using these substances. There are several possible forms of cannabinoids that can be added to cocktails:

  1. Cannabinoid extract: The most common way to add cannabinoids to a cocktail is to use cannabis extract. This extract can contain a variety of cannabinoids, including CBD. The extract can simply be added to the drink and stirred to evenly distribute the cannabinoids. This creates a cannabinoid cocktail.

  2. CBD oil: If you want to avoid the psychoactive effects of THC and focus on the potential therapeutic effects, you can add CBD oil to the cocktail. CBD oil is often available in different concentrations, allowing you to precisely regulate the dosage.

  3. Cannabinoid Isolates: Isolates are pure forms of cannabinoids from which all other substances have been removed. This means you can add a specific cannabinoid, such as pure CBD, to your cocktail. This allows you to achieve a precise dose.

  4. Water soluble cannabinoids: These are cannabinoids that have been chemically modified to be water soluble. This makes them easier to mix with liquids such as drinks. Water-soluble CBD products are available for making drinks with cannabinoids.

  5. Synthetic cannabinoids: These are made in the laboratory and have the same structure as natural cannabinoids. However, they are often much stronger and can have dangerous side effects. The use of synthetic cannabinoids should be very careful and limited.

Christmas spirit with cannabinoids

The Christmas spirit is a time when families and friends come together to celebrate and enjoy each other's company. Cannabinoids, especially CBD, can help to make these moments even more enjoyable and relaxed. Here are a few ways cannabinoids can contribute to the Christmas spirit:

  • Stress Relief - Christmas preparations can often be stressful and challenging. CBD has the potential to reduce stress and anxiety, which can be very helpful for many people at this time of year. A relaxed state of mind will help you to better enjoy the Christmas preparations and celebrations.
  • Better sleep - Quality sleep is key to maintaining good mood and energy over the Christmas period. CBD can help improve the quality of your sleep by calming your nervous system and helping you fall asleep more easily. That way you'll be rested and full of energy for the Christmas festivities.
  • Gift for the soul - Christmas gifting is a traditional part of the holidays, and this is where CBD can be a great gift for those you want to make happy. CBD products such as oils, balms or teas can be given as a gift to enhance well-being and wellness.
  • Relaxation and socializing - CBD can help relax muscles and contribute to total body relaxation. This can make it a great companion during social gatherings and celebrations, where many people struggle with stress and nervousness.
