June is men's health month and one of the best ways to celebrate the occasion is to find some quality cannabis products to enjoy. While smoking may seem like the opposite of a healthy choice, alternatives like edibles are a great way to relax. Luckily, thanks to changes over the last few years, it is now easy and convenient to get cannabis products delivered to your doorstep. Along with this relaxed legal status around cannabis, the benefits of Cannabis use are also becoming more apparent. 

### A Changing Landscape

For years there have been a lot of various claims about the positive and negative effects of weed use. Luckily, now that more states are choosing to legalize cannabis and that also means that more people are opening their eyes to the benefits of cannabis use. While there used to be a lot of stigma surrounding weed use due to propaganda campaigns of the early 20th century, smoking is becoming more commonplace.

### Cannabis Benefits

While the actual research outlining the hard benefits of cannabis use are still in their infancy, its known benefits and potential benefits are vast. Weed tends to generate a relaxing feeling that many users enjoy. Unlike alcohol, which some people find relaxing, smoking weed does not come with a high carb intake unless you choose to eat afterwards. As long as you consume responsibly and don't over indulge, you should be able to stay happy and healthy while still enjoying cannabis.

When it comes to using weed as a treatment, there have been a number of promising developments in recent years. One of weed's most obvious health applications is inducing sleep. The calm high from smoking is an asset for many who experience insomnia and sleeplessness. Hemp and weed with high CBD content has been used to effectively control seizures caused by certain forms of epilepsy. Weed can also relieve pain for people with MS and other chronic conditions. One of cannabis' most famous contributions to men's health is helping those suffering from HIV and AIDS to alleviate their symptoms. The push for marijuana for AIDS and cancer patients actually led to the first medical cannabis dispensaries in California. 

Another major benefit of cannabis use is addiction treatment. Using weed can help to alleviate the symptoms of alcohol and opiate addiction. Because the effects of cannabis use are more relaxing and mild than alcohol and hard drug use, they provide some relief without being overwhelming. While weed has been treated as a "gateway" drug for years, it has become apparent in recent years that it might actually be a safer alternative to other drugs and it's classification as a schedule 1 substance misrepresented the dangers of other substances on that list. 

Most of weed's benefits are mental ones. Cannabis use has been shown to produce a calming sensation for many users and it can help alleviate the symptoms of mental health disorders. People with depression, anxiety, and PTSD have all reported positive results from weed use. Now, thanks to legal changes that are sweeping the nation, it is easier than ever to experience the benefits of cannabis use with a weed delivery service. 

### What is Weed Delivery?

Cannabis delivery is exactly what it sounds like! Weed that is delivered right to your doorstep. Most cannabis manufacturers have their products on a local weed delivery website where you can order the products you want online and have them delivered right to you. No need to go to a physical dispensary store and pay their upcharge prices, just order your favorite brands from our trusted site and get them delivered.  We offer the best weed delivery services in the Washington DC area with the most competitive prices. 

### What Kind of Cannabis Products are Available?

It depends on what local vendors are offering for delivery at that time, but typically customers can order marijuana flower, edibles, vape cartridges, concentrates, CBD products, and pre rolled flower products. If you are focused on the healthiest way to consume cannabis, then edibles and tinctures are probably the best option.

Men's Health - The Great Benefits to Using Cannabis

It is pride month and there are a wide range of events in the US this month celebrating LGBTQ people. A lot of these events are taking place in Washington DC and, thanks to the legal weed status in DC, will involve the safe and legal consumption of cannabis. When looking over the products offered at a DC dispensary, it is important to remember that a large reason that we are now able to enjoy legal cannabis is thanks to the work of LGBTQ individuals who fought for legalization. 

While the struggle to smoke a plant legally and the struggle to have your lifestyle treated as legal and normal are in no way equivalent, the cannabis and LGBTQ movements have a lot of overlap that many cannabis fans have probably not even considered. Both of these movements have also seen a lot of positive change over the last decade and they have helped to change the social and political landscape in our country. 

### Cannabis and LGBTQ 

It should come as no surprise that there is a lot of overlap between advocacy for cannabis rights and LGBTQ rights. Some of the earliest pushes for medical marijuana legalization came from LGBTQ protestors. Long before medical cannabis was legal anywhere in the US, LGBTQ groups were pushing for the use of cannabis to help cancer, HIV, and AIDS patients get relief for their symptoms. Figures like Harvey Milk gay advocates to bring the need for medical cannabis into the public eye. In a similar vein, many cannabis users have supported the struggle of LGBTQ members of their communities to gain the basic rights they deserve.

One of the individuals who had the largest impact on the legalization of Medical Cannabis in California was Dennis Peron. Dennis, a gay man from New York. Dennis sold cannabis in San Francisco and quickly noticed its medical benefits amongst gay men suffering from AIDS, a disease that would eventually claim his partner. His continued advocacy for medical cannabis throughout the 1990s led to the founding of the San Francisco Cannabis Buyers Club, the first medical cannabis dispensary in the United States. 

Inspired by the work of Dennis Peron was Mary Jane "Brownie Mary" Rathbun. When you imagine someone who was a crusader for both gay rights and cannabis legalization, a friendly looking grandmotherly figure probably isn't the first image that comes to mind. Mary was a volunteer at San Francisco General Hospital who would bake cannabis infused brownies to provide some relief for patients. She started out baking her brownies for profit but after seeing just how much relief cannabis was capable of offering, she began accepting donations and providing her brownies free of charge. She would bake hundreds of brownies per day and was arrested three times for making these brownies. The publicity from her arrests led to some of the first clinical studies on the medical benefits of cannabis use. 

One thing that has always formed a common thread between the LGBTQ community and cannabis enthusiasts is fighting to have society be more socially tolerant. Both groups just want to be able to exist and enjoy their lives without interference or having to deal with inaccurate perceptions about their lifestyles.

Here at TreeHub, we are happy that people in DC can love who they want to love and relax the way that they want to relax. It's a beautiful thing and we're celebrating pride month knowing that we would not exist without the hard work and dedication of LGBTQ protestors and advocates who fought for our right to enjoy weed legally here in DC.

### Cannabis in DC

Thanks to pride month, warm weather, and a near 50% vaccination rate in the DC population, the district is starting to see a lot more visitors this month. On top of this, more DC residents are venturing out to engage in all of the pride activities that are happening. For DC residents and those visiting the city, the ability to enjoy legal recreational weed from DC dispensaries is a great part of being in the district. 

Thanks to legal changes in the last few years, it is now easier than ever to enjoy legal weed when you are in DC. You don't have to be a local, so visitors can look forward to enjoying some legal cannabis while they are in DC. The process of acquiring weed is a little different in DC than other parts of the country so there are a few things to understand before you start enjoying a relaxing high in our nation's capital. It's important to understand what makes DC dispensaries different from other weed vendors in the country so you can avoid any issues when trying to place an order. 

To understand a little more about what makes DC dispensaries so unique, you need to look at the laws. The reason weed is now legal in DC is thanks to a law known as initiative 71. This made recreational cannabis use and possession legal in the district, but it did not make it legal to sell weed or grow in DC. One thing that initiative 71 does allow is for individuals and businesses to give away weed and other cannabis products as gifts. This means that typically weed vendors in DC will not sell weed itself, but will use a gifting service. These vendors will offer tiers of products as well as a separate menu of free gifts based on those tiers the customers can request with their purchase. 

Working with these cannabis gifting businesses is perfectly legal in DC, but it can be confusing for visitors and residents alike. Basically you find a vendor, look at their gifts, and then buy a product that has the same gift tier as the cannabis gift that you want to receive. Depending on the business you may do this in person, schedule a delivery for your product and gift, or you will have to meet a delivery person at an agreed upon location to receive your order. The first step in this process is finding a business that has the kinds of gifts that you are interested in trying. 

Once you have your gifts, you might be wondering where you can enjoy them. If you plan on smoking, then the best answer is to just enjoy them in the privacy of your own home or wherever you are staying as long as you are allowed to smoke. The punishment for smoking on DC city property is a small fine, but DC is a lot of federal land where smoking is still criminal. As always do your homework and be safe, it's easy to enjoy your weed responsibly in the city
