Know Your Nano

Posted on October 22, 2024

Nanotization! — — Harder. Better. Quicker. Smoother. The leading technology in Cannabis that will destigmatize and lead towards more socially accepted uses.

No more are the days of taking an edible, only to find yourself hitting a bong or smoking a jay 45 minutes later because you don’t feel the edible yet. Heaven, forbid you take a second edible thinking the first didn’t work only to find yourself clutching onto your pillow trying to fall asleep from the nightmare you just put yourself through.

Nano Emulsion is one of the newest technological breakthroughs to come up in the industry and I believe this is going to be the turning point in how we ingest cannabis.

We began with hydroponic systems back in the 70’s allowing for a more controlled setting to grow.

And just 40 years ago in the 80’s was the discovery of THC and the endocannabinoid system in humans. This allowed for a scientific basis in which we understand the effect of cannabis within the body.

Spring forward to the 2000’s we introduce vaporizers for smokeless methods, CO2 extraction — considered a cleaner alternative to the solvents such as butane and other fossil fuels, (commonly what you find in distillate edibles) — LED growlights more centered within cultivation and extraction.

From there onward, with legalization throughout the states continuing to spread, more money continues to be invested into research, opening us to a world of consumption methods including tinctures, drinks, syrups, and even syringes!?

All of this said, without a doubt, I think the most exciting method to be introduced is Nano Emulsion, what I believe will become the preferred method of manufacturing. Whether that is 2 years, 5 years, or even 10 years away, this is the closest thing that has brought cannabis to beer.

The norm in our country is, “let’s grab a drink”. One drink, two drinks, three drinks, still social, still getting started in some cases. Even with all the recreational states opening up, the cannabis communities that grow online, videos of smoking with one another, reviews, the environments are more accepted, but we would be lying if there was still a sense of secrecy and being behind closed doors. Nano Emulsification is a big step in the right direction.

While beer has long been a socially accepted beverage, enjoyed openly in social settings, cannabis consumption still carries a stigma, often relegated to more private or discreet environments. The phrase “Want to smoke?” can still evoke apprehension due to lingering stereotypes and legal uncertainties. However, nano-emulsification allows for the creation of cannabis-infused beverages with precise dosing and faster onset times, making them more approachable and socially acceptable. As these innovative products become more mainstream, they have the potential to normalize cannabis consumption in social settings, paving the way for cannabis to achieve the same level of acceptance as beer.

Cann comes to mind as one of the top leading and pioneering brands in the cannabis beverage space, known for its microdosed, fast-acting products that leverage nano-emulsification technology. Their beverages are designed to provide a controlled, uplifting experience with low doses of THC, making them ideal for social settings. By offering a consistent and predictable experience, Cann helps demystify cannabis consumption, making it more approachable for new and experienced users alike. Other brands, such as Kikoko and Artet, also specialize in microdosed, fast-acting nano products, focusing on enhancing social experiences with cannabis-infused teas and aperitifs. These brands are at the forefront of redefining how cannabis is perceived and consumed, contributing to its growing social acceptance and that is largely due to the faster onset in their products, let alone the micro dosing that alot of people over the years have completely surpassed in tolerance levels nearing entire packages of gummies and entire syrup bottles containing upwards of 250MG to 500MG servings!

Our company Buddy has taken that same approach as well, offering low dose Nano products that are intended for subtlety, encouraging a social environment that feels less committal to the drug itself and more so, the drug of choice outside of beer to compliment the main focus of it all, entertainment with the friends and family nearest to you.

The point of all of this is that the issue isn’t the high, but the control of the high like the control we have with beer, wine, or shots. Its more easily measured than pot can be. The accuracy that nano allows, brings comfort knowing, this amount of this cannabinoid, has this effect on me OR this dosage is what I am taking and I can enjoy the experience knowing that the process behind the dose made it accurate on the smallest level you can go.

Know your Nano

Nano Emulsification came shortly after the discovery of Cannabinoid Isolation and Synthesis in the 2010’s. This is what brought Full Spectrum Live Rosin mainstream and what allowed to create products with specific aspects that all contain their own unique medical benefits.

You have CBG, a non Psychoactive, aiding towards Focus, Inflammation, Pain, and even Gastro Health. The CBG Benefits are huge and arguably, one of the most adverse cannabinoids across the 16 of them involved in health.

CBN, my personal favorite, is also a non Psychoactive that aids towards calming yourself, but also acting as a sleep aid. You can think of it similarly as melatonin.

Alongside these two, you have a myriad of other options to place into your products including THCv, THCa, CBC, CBD, and many others.

It is the Nanotization process that will continue to bring this to the forefront with the exceptional quality it allows and the precision into the products people consume to only get better. This cutting-edge technology is transforming how cannabis is consumed and experienced. But what exactly is Nanotization, and why is it making waves in the cannabis market?

By breaking down cannabinoids into tiny, nano-sized particles, this process dramatically enhances the bioavailability of cannabis, allowing the body to absorb these compounds more quickly and efficiently into the blood stream. This increased efficiency is due to the larger surface area of the nano-sized particles, which improves their solubility in water and ensures more consistent and predictable dosing. This offers consumers a more reliable and rapid way to enjoy the benefits of cannabinoids.

Not only does it help with onset and accuracy, but the technology in cannabis products offers several potential health benefits, both short-term and long-term, due to its enhanced delivery and absorption of cannabinoids like CBD and THC. Here is a recap and overview of both the short term and long term benefits.

Short-Term Health Benefits

Faster Onset of Effects: Nano Emulsions allow for quicker absorption of cannabinoids into the bloodstream, leading to more immediate relief from symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and inflammation.

Improved Bioavailability: By increasing the surface area of cannabinoids, Nano Emulsions enhance their bioavailability, meaning that a higher percentage of the active compounds are absorbed by the body. This can lead to more effective symptom management with lower doses.

Consistent Dosing: Nano Emulsion technology enables more precise and consistent dosing, reducing the variability in how each dose affects the user. This predictability is particularly beneficial for managing conditions like chronic pain or anxiety, where consistent relief is crucial.

Reduced Side Effects: Because Nano Emulsions can provide effective doses with smaller amounts of cannabinoids, there is a potential for reduced side effects compared to traditional cannabis consumption methods.

Long-Term Health Benefits

Chronic Condition Management: The improved absorption and efficacy of Nano Emulsions can be beneficial for managing chronic conditions such as arthritis, migraines, and persistent pain over the long term, potentially leading to improved quality of life.

Lower Risk of Tolerance: Consistent and efficient delivery of cannabinoids may reduce the risk of developing tolerance, where increasingly larger doses are needed to achieve the same effects. This could be advantageous for long-term users of cannabis for medical purposes.

Potential Neuroprotective Effects: Research suggests that cannabinoids may have neuroprotective properties. Enhanced delivery through Nano Emulsions might improve these effects, potentially offering long-term benefits in protecting brain health and mitigating conditions like Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Enhanced Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects: The effective delivery of cannabinoids could amplify their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to overall health and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases associated with inflammation, such as heart disease and diabetes.

While Nano Emulsion technology holds promise for enhancing the benefits of cannabis, ongoing research is needed to fully understand its long-term health impacts and potential applications.

The Impact on the Cannabis Market

The Nanotization process is reshaping the cannabis landscape in several ways as well:

  • New Product Innovations: With Nanotization, companies are continuing to create more innovative products that were previously not possible including more drinks, edibles, and tinctures.
  • Competitive Edge: Businesses incorporating Nanotization into their products are gaining a competitive edge. According to market research by Grand View Research, the global cannabis market is expected to reach $73.6 billion by 2027, with advanced technologies like Nanotization playing a significant role in driving growth (Grand View Research).
  • Enhanced Consumer Experience: As consumers become more informed and demand higher-quality products, Nanotized cannabis meets these expectations by providing a superior experience. This shift is driving consumer preference towards products that offer faster and more reliable effects.

Conclusion

The Nanotization process is revolutionizing the cannabis industry by enhancing bioavailability, speeding up effects, and improving product consistency. This is what will lead our stigma on cannabis into more socially accepted terrain as opposed to the feeling of needing to smoke on a more secluded atmosphere. As the market continues to grow, technologies like nanotization will play a crucial role in shaping the future of cannabis consumption.
