What peaty substance is closest to cannabis/CBD on mental and physical relaxation?
-
I remember feeling properly relaxed with the right amount of CBD, not so much so THC, but I'm looking for something to guide with general relaxation at the house to lower stress and aid in meditation.

Large amounts of sugar and salt can lend itself to being relaxing. Magnesium status is very important too. The ability to relax is definitely a function of energy state and nutritional status. If you're looking for a substance, cypro has given me similar effects.
CBD might be a bit peaty as I have seen it having small antagonistic effects against some serotonin receptor subtypes and it lowering prolactin through the CB1/2 modulation. THC is definitely not peaty.

Bright incandescent light, high sugar intake, supplementing b-vitamins, low dose methylene blue, thyroid. Sometimes saturated fat can have a significant relaxing effect. Emptying the bowels with safe laxatives like magnesium can also have extremely relaxing effects. Vitamin C is known to decrease cortisol, would definitely help if you are deficient.

@Sugar low dose DMT
-
cypro, mag, preg, progest, sugar, taurine, theanine
-
@onliest
Yeah -
Perhaps ashwagandha? Not sure if its peaty or not but I take the shoden version of it and chills me out very much
-
@onliest thanks man.
-
marijuana
-
@Sugar cypro, magnesium and l-lysine
-
Agmatine
CBG (legal natural cannabinoid)Essential oils of:
- Lavender
- German chamomile
- Lemon
-
aspirin and baking soda
-
I think cannabis is a Peaty substance or would be had Dr. Peat really studied the latest research. The endocannabinoid system is connected to the lymphatic system and connected to every single nerve and cell. I would go for real CBD or better yet CBDA and THC or THCA.

@Ecstatic_Hamster what ratio of cbd to thc do u use

CO2. If you haven’t tried it, mix a bit of baking soda and vinegar in a milk jug or bottle with a wide mouth let it react then stick your nose in and take a deep breath. It helps if you tilt the container back as if you were drinking from it while you inhale. If you’re doing it properly, as you inhale it will have a similar sensation in your throat to drinking soda. Repeat with some breaks in between before adding more vinegar and baking soda. Instant, cheap and super relaxing.
It’s nice because there is a little ritual to it like smoking, takes a few minutes.
Also after the first bit of baking soda/vinegar is done producing CO2 it is best to add more vinegar first before adding more baking soda, more milage that way. -
So yummy with ice cream or in a milkshake.
“Cha qi” is a nice feeling. I wouldn’t be drinking it all day everyday like coffee though, peat did not really recommend tea.

I'd take into account habituation and the impact on neurons.
For instance caffeine has 4-5 hours. CBD has a deleterious impact on neurons.
If you drink more often coffee / tea, you'll get accustomed and it won't no longer make an effect. Saturation.
L-theanine and bisglycinate magnesium could help.
There are other clues. Up to you, whether you're receptive or not.
Ever tried essential oils in a diffuser to prepare the relaxing atmosphere. Accompanied by a breathing exercise at an adapted heart rate, then CO2-bag breathing?
Make a choice, according to your feeling and desiderata

Cannabinoids reduce brain connectivity
I know several studies demonstrate beneficial effects on pain. Mercola has written a thunderous article on the benefits of medical cannabis.
I remember having heard a psychiatrist (radio interview) saying we lost partial connectivity from neurons, becoming useless. But as we only use 10 % of our capacity, problems shouldn’t arise, unless teenagers begin to regularly smoke cannabinoids. Marijuana is however safer than cocaine, but with new synthetic mix drugs, it’s another problem…
Excerpt
The study’s findings revealed significant disruptions in brain connectivity across several key networks after cannabis administration. These networks include the executive control network (ECN), salience network, hippocampal network, and limbic striatal network.
Specifically, the ECN, responsible for higher-order cognitive functions like decision-making and cognitive control, showed reduced connectivity under the influence of both THC and THC + CBD.

It isn’t my experience and I don’t think this is much of a study. But I appreciate it. I never gave this one any credence. There are much better studies that show the opposite.
