Summers are getting hotter and more humid than ever. With rising temperatures, outdoor activities, and the risk of dehydration, it’s essential to take precautions to preserve both the effectiveness of your medical cannabis treatment and your personal safety.
Medical cannabis is safe and effective year-round, as long as it’s used mindfully. Heat can impact your experience with therapeutic cannabis in various ways:
Here’s how to use your medical cannabis safely and comfortably during hot summer days:
1. Stay well hydrated.
Drinking enough water helps prevent light side effects like fatigue or dizziness. It’s even more crucial on hot days.
2. Use an insulated pouch for your products.
Ideal for travel, especially in summer, an insulated pouch keeps your products in optimal condition and prevents damage if forgotten in hot places like a car.
3. Monitor how your body reacts in the heat.
You might notice different effects in high temperatures. If unsure, jot down your observations and share them with a healthcare professional at your next appointment.
4. Pay attention to your energy levels.
It’s normal to feel more tired in the heat. Adjust your routine based on how you feel, and allow yourself time to rest when needed.5. Stick to a stable routine.
With summer schedules, vacations, and social events, routines can get disrupted. Try to maintain regular dosing times to keep your treatment consistent.
Heat can affect product quality, alter textures, or spoil cannabis oils. Here’s how to store your cannabis properly to avoid issues:
1. Never leave oils, capsules, or flower in direct sunlight or in the car—even in the shade.
2. Store products in a cool, dry place between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F), away from light.
3. Use a small insulated pouch with a cold pack for transportation.
Bonus Tip: Some formats, like flavored oils or edibles, may attract insects. Always seal containers properly and avoid using products near insect-infested areas.
Medical cannabis remains safe and effective in the summer, as long as you adapt your usage. Stay hydrated, store your products properly, and choose the right format for each situation.
