May is Women's Health Month + Mental Health Awareness Month, and we're bringing the SCIENCE.

🤯 Did you know your hormones literally change how cannabis works in your body?

💊 Women may feel pain relief + mood effects more intensely than men. Not because you're "sensitive," but because your biology is literally built different

Here's what the cannabis research actually says:

🔬Estrogen increases CB1 receptors—the main receptors THC binds to in your brain. These are areas involved in movement, memory, stress response, and decision-making
📈 More estrogen = stronger endocannabinoid system (ECS) activity. This means cannabis hits differently depending on where you are in your cycle.
🐭🧠 In animal studies, male brains tend to have more CB1 receptors in several specific regions. But when researchers looked at the whole brain picture in some studies, females actually came out ahead in overall receptor density.
‼️ Women's CB1 receptor levels actually increase as they age, particularly in areas tied to emotion, memory, and movement.

😤 And yet? Most cannabis research was done on male subjects.

As a woman-founded + woman-owned company, CannabizMD is here to change that narrative with one evidence-based conversation at a time.

💚 Share this. Your girlfriends need to know.

💙May is Mental Health Awareness Month AND Women’s Health Month. We’re not letting it pass quietly. 💙

➡️ Swipe through this one. All the way.

Because “Happy Mother’s Day” doesn’t tell the full story for every woman. For millions of moms, every single day means navigating abuse, fear, and survival — while still showing up for their kids, their jobs, and everyone else.

Our founder did.

That’s not strength. That’s survival. And there’s a difference.

We put together the numbers, the signs, and the resources — because awareness without action is just noise.

If this hits home for you or someone you love:

‼️🐔 🥚 💰 Hey Cannabis Industry: don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

🥱 The DEA's current rescheduling proceeding has a sobering historical precedent. The last time the agency held administrative hearings on cannabis scheduling was the summer of 1986. That process spanned two years of testimony and thousands of pages of documentation before DEA Administrator John Lawn issued a final order in December 1989. (54 Fed. Reg. 53767.) Then, in April 1991, a federal appeals court ruled the order inadequate and sent it back for revision, pushing resolution well into the following decade.

📅 The current proceeding has tracked similarly. Hearings set to begin January 21, 2025, were canceled eight days prior when Chief ALJ John Mulrooney stayed proceedings over allegations that the DEA engaged in improper ex parte communications with anti-rescheduling participants. (DEA Docket No. 1362.) Now the industry awaits a new round of hearings scheduled for June 2026.

🤔 🥬 What that means practically: both state medical and adult-use markets remain in federal legal limbo. Schedule III rescheduling, even if finalized, would not resolve the conflict between state law and the Controlled Substances Act for adult-use operators. Neither the scope nor the terms of any federal accommodation are settled; history suggests the timeline is measured in years, not months.

😏 And given this White House's track record, one has to wonder if resolution arrives just in time for the midterms.

👉 In the meantime, there is one concrete action item: the DEA has established an expedited registration pathway for state-licensed medical ma*****na entities. The dedicated DEA Medical Ma*****na Dispensary Registration Portal opens 4/29/2026 at 9:00 AM ET.

🥬 Happy 420 to the patients, consumers, caregivers, advocates, researchers, and industry professionals who show up every single day for our beautiful plant!

💚Today is a celebration, and like all things cannabis, it’s best approached with intention. Whether you’re a seasoned consumer or exploring for the first time, the science is clear: route of administration matters. That’s how you use cannabis.

🤓Know the facts. Inhaled cannabinoids reach peak effect in minutes; edibles can take 30–120 minutes to fully activate.

👌Overconsumption isn’t a failure; it’s a pharmacokinetic (what your body does to a drug) reality that happens when we outpace our endocannabinoid system’s capacity to regulate.

➡️ If you or someone you know overindulges today (or any day!):

✔️ Find a calm, safe space
✔️ Hydrate
✔️ Try CBD: it may relieve the activity of THC in the brain (your CB1 receptor) and the symptoms
✔️ Reach for black pepper: the terpene β-caryophyllene found in black peppercorns and the cannabis plant has documented calming properties
✔️ Remember: there are zero recorded cannabis-specific fatal overdoses. This will pass.

🙌 The cannabis industry carries a responsibility to educate, not just celebrate. That’s what we do every day, and today is no different.

👉Start low. Go slow. Know your dose.👌

Georgia is one signature away from becoming the 41st state with a true medical cannabis program. 🍑✍️

Tea Pad is proud to have helped bring together advocates, legislators, and industry professionals in Georgia in 2024 to help make this moment possible.

SB220 — the "Putting Georgia's Patients First Act" — has passed both chambers with overwhelming bipartisan support. Now it heads to Governor Kemp's desk.

Here's what it means for patients:
🌿 "Low THC Oil" becomes "Medical Cannabis"—because words shape access
💊 The 5% THC cap is replaced by a 12,000mg dosage limit—regulated like actual medicine
💨 Vaporization is now allowed—so patients get relief in minutes, not hours
💚 More conditions qualify, with "severe" and "end-stage" requirements removed

This session also marked the 10-year anniversary of Haleigh's Hope Act, the law that started it all in 2015. A decade later, Georgia is finally catching up.
