Cannabis as a Substitute

Using cannabis instead of alcohol or Rx medications

Cannabis and Harm Reduction

Cannabis can be a useful tool for reducing or replacing the use of alcohol and prescription drugs, but there are some things to consider before you engage in this practice!

For alcohol:

DO:

Be familiar with the different methods of cannabis consumption, their relative potency and time of onset. Know the rules about cannabis consumption at your destination and what it allowed. Consult a physician if you are physically dependent on alcohol (withdrawals may require medical supervision)

For alcohol:

DON'T:

Mix alcohol and cannabis unless you are very experienced. It's a 1+1=4 scenario. Don't overdo the edibles. Start low, go slow, they can take up to 2 hours to kick in depending on the product. Don't leave your cannabis edibles laying around at a party. Unlike alcohol, many cannabis edibles are appealing to children and taste like non-infused sweets.

For prescription drugs

DO:

Consult with a physician before stopping any prescription medication, especially psychotropic medications. Keep a journal or use an app to determine which products work best to quell your symptoms. Look into non-smoked methods of ingestion for long term medical use.

For prescription drugs:

DON'T:

Rely on what has worked for other people, find what works for YOU. Don't swear off pills forever. Some people find the best results with a mix of cannabis and other medications. Don't consume cannabis before work/school/driving until you know how it effects you/ Even if you have been taking a medication with similar effects, cannabis may hit differently, especially at first!

What our customers say

I bought the hemp flower for DIY plant medicine projects. The CBD tincture has been useful for relaxation and I’ve started mixing the oil I made into my dog’s food!

Noah Fife

My daughter gave me two hemp plants from Grow it From Home. I’ve always had a garden and now I’m growing beautiful cannabis plants along with my beans, tomatoes and sunflowers.

Janet Weston

This platform has taught me so much useful information about plant medicine and the shop gave me the tools to get started. Not only is it healing but it’s fun!

Rene Rhooms

I’ve been wanting to make my own medicine for years but I was intimidated by it. I now know how to make tinctures and lotions with the herbs I collect from my friend’s garden.

Samantha Strauss

Personal Plants has inspired me to try microdosing psilocybin to replace an SSRI. After 6 years I’m finally ready to try a natural alternative. Thank you!

Miranda Lao

I hear a lot about the health benefits of CBD, but there are so many products on the market! The information on this site made me feel a lot more confident in my choice of product.

Jewel Rosen

I had been curious about growing my own mushrooms. This kit in the shop made the process easy. I look forward to continuing my fungi journey!

Jordan Sullivan

I have bought tinctures from stores before, but mixing my own was a whole new experience!

Lanese Fallon

I have heard about the therapeutic properties of mushrooms. But honestly, I do not like the way they taste. These recipes helped me learn ways to eat mushrooms that taste great and I have been so grateful!

Diane Southland

I made a resolution to cut down on alcohol in 2021. Kelly's video and drink kit inspired me to create my own CBD infused mocktails for evening and weekend fun!

Franklin Sims

Sleep had been tough for me lately and I didn't want to use sleeping pills. The CBD bath soak was the perfect addition to my nighttime routine.
