What's So Special About TLO Cannabis?

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT TRUE LIVING ORGANIC CANNABIS?

Have you ever packed a really good bowl and just taken a moment to admire the general goodness of your favorite lady, Mary Jane? Have you ever taken a second to appreciate the decedent crystal coverage or breathed in the dark, rich scent of the herb you’re about to smoke?

It’s pretty safe to say we have all appreciated a particularly quality batch of marijuana. There is nothing quite like getting a really good bag, the kind you know is going to leave you euphoric after just a few tokes.

Yet, have you ever wondered: Where did this weed come from? How was it grown? What exactly is inside of this magical plant that I adore so much? What am I actually putting inside of my body?

There is more to smoking weed than general dankness and potency. What makes some marijuana different than others is how it’s grown. When it comes to putting something inside of your body, it’s important that the substances you’re choosing are actually good for your health. Just like those homegrown spinach salads you shovel into your gobs at Whole Foods, so to should your weed be held to same high stand of production.

It’s no longer just “hip” to care about your bodies. It’s literally the difference between longevity and disease. It’s time to put health first in all aspects of life. Yes, this includes your pot.

Since before the birth of the hipster, there has been a collective of those who prefer to consume the healthiest plants, foods and substances for human consumption. Unfortunately, modern farming techniques are more hell bent on mass production rather than the bodily health and environmental damage caused by these methods.

So what is with all of this unhealthy food production? As the world population has skyrocketed over the past century, the demand for food placed pressure on producers who succumbed to the modern industrial method of farming. Farming became about mass production, without any consideration for the damage that production had on both the earth and the product themselves.

Toxic substances such as pesticides, damaging fertilizers and hydroponics have become so normalized in modern farming and food production that many rarely think about what effects these chemicals and methods have on our food. We never really take a second to wonder how this fresh summer squash got into this grocery store and onto our plates.

A new movement in produce production is rapidly gaining more and more traction. Now, some producers strive for quality over quantity, which ends up giving consumers healthier products all over the globe. Instead of the shortsighted vision of mass production, focus is instead shifting towards the way these products are produced.


WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH NON-ORGANIC?


If we’ve smoked, eaten and ingested inorganic marijuana thus far, why should we switch to organic now?” We eat non organic food all the time, so can we get by with consuming non organic marijuana without and negative side effects? Let’s look at the downside of non organic cannabis.

Toxins

It may not immediately be apparent when you’re indulging in your favorite strains, but those ‘super chemicals’ and ‘specialized plant foods’ often carry countless chemicals and toxins.

These toxins are in no way natural and definitely not meant to be funneled through our bodies.

Concentrates

There are more ways to consume marijuana these days than you probably realize.

Concentrates are the bread and butter of cannabis farming. From oils to hash, it is marijuana at its most potent form. It is where you are going to find the most highly intensive levels of cannabinoids (the good stuff, the THC). But it’s not quite a free lunch...

When it comes to different concentrates such as cold water extraction, BHO, alcohol extraction and CO2 extraction, you’re literally condensing your product. It only makes sense that you should want the purest plant.

If you concentrate your cannabis, you’re concentrating whatever nutrients, chemicals or toxins are within the makeup of that plant. However when you farm organically, the plants you’re producing are toxin-free, ensuring that the concentrates you make from it are pure and toxin-free.

When ingesting a concentrate, the purer the product, the more effective and safe that product will be. The last thing you should be doing is messing with nature’s makeup when you’re planning to put it inside of your body.

When concentrates are made, it’s used with typically dry material beforehand. At Honest Marijuana, we practice fresh freezing instead, leaving the final quality of the highest level possible.

You need to be able to trust your source when you are consuming concentrates in any form. Whether it’s oils, edibles or otherwise, you have to know the stash you’re getting is from a reliable, professional and trustworthy supplier.


BENEFITS OF ORGANIC CANNABIS


Organic vegetables are sometimes twice the price of non organic vegetables. Are the benefits worth it? I guess that depends on who you ask.

When you look at the benefits of organic marijuana, it will seem pretty surprising that it’s not widely popular. Let’s take a look at the final product that makes it into the hands of customers as well as the environmental impact of organically grown cannabis.

Better Potency, Taste and Flavor

Mother Nature makes tastier goodies.

The thing that should really sell you on going organic when it comes to weed is that organic marijuana tastes better and has more flavour.

When you force feed the plants with crappy soils filled with harmful toxins, it’s never good for the overall taste of the finished product. When you let your marijuana grow naturally, it will grow the way that it is naturally inclined to grown, the way it’s been growing for thousands of years. And we all should know better than to mess with Mother Nature.

Like any plant, marijuana has complex requirements in order for it to grow optimally. When your focus is on mass production, you’re tampering with nature’s complicated methods by adding chemicals.

Mother nature is a complicated lady and it is impossible to match her awe perfectly. If you mess with the way a plant naturally grows, you can bet your behind that your plant will fall short of it’s full potential.

Organic plants are left to their own devices and are therefore optimized for flavor and aroma. Again, Mother Nature makes tastier goodies.

Organic cannabis produces the perfect amount of terpenes, terpenoids and cannabinoids: the aromatic combinations that give cannabis its smell. Cannabis owes its sweet or citrus aroma to the dozens of compounds present within its stems and leaves.

Terpenoids are a class of naturally occurring organic chemicals, derived from five-carbon isoprene units assembled and modified in many ways.

Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants and some insects such as termites and swallowtail butterflies.

Put simply, the more terpenoids and terpenes there are, the better the marijuana will smell and the more flavor the final product will have.

Best of all? Organic is consistent. You’ll never look at organic marijuana and wonder, “What did the grower put in this? Are there hidden toxins I may not know about?” You never have to wonder because you know that it’s all natural. As a result, users can enjoy the strong effects of their unhindered product.

And Mother Nature thanks you kindly

Organic cannabis is best for Mother Nature as a whole. Instead of manipulating the process ourselves, we let the microorganisms run the show and the plant can grow the way it’s supposed to.

This is better for the soil, as the retention potential of the soil for nutrients and water are increased and nutrient losses are decreased as well. As a bi-product, it is also better for the water, leaving it clean, natural, and free of any salts, metals, and chemicals.

When humans stay out of the growing process we are able to see the natural genetics intended for the cannabis in terms of look, taste, and smell, all while ensuring a more healthy and sustainable habitat.

Better For The Environment As a Whole

Just like every organic plant, growing organic marijuana has a less negative impact on the environment.

When you produce organic nutrients, it requires less processing compared to the more damaging alternatives. When you grow organic marijuana, you don’t have to throw away or remove the remaining pesticides or chemicals left behind.

Just like the food soil web described earlier, growing marijuana organically involves natural composts that can be left as is. If you allow for a natural cycle, the cycle of life will thrive independently.

Organic growth is sustainable, as it produces crops while also establishing an ecological balance to prevent soil fertility or pest problems. There is no need for heavy bug eradication because the habitat will naturally take these problems into account.

Safer To Consume

Since marijuana has been legalized, it’s becoming more common to rely on pesticides when growing cannabis. These pesticides are meant to yield more crops and keep away hazardous animals and weeds. However, many growers are using dangerous pesticides for the sake of profit. Like any other agricultural industry, growers sacrifice quality and safety for time and money.

When you inhale non organic cannabis, you’re inhaling more than THC and other cannabinoids. You’re inhaling chemicals and other dangerous neurotoxins.

By not adding chemicals, organic marijuana keeps your health risks low, allowing you to reap all the benefits of cannabis without all of the added risks.
