MasterMind
Focus Blend
When you need to ‘Lock In’ for an extended period of time and master a topic or activity, MasterMind is the blend for you. Cannabis alone can assist your focus but adding CannaBlendz MasterMind enhances clarity, increasing the capacity to work in flow states like gaming, writing, and creative projects. Medicinal users also benefit from a reduction of brain fog and increased productivity.
Functional Enhancements
The focus that MasterMind promotes is commonly paired with more energetic strains or hybrids, but consumers who prefer more sedative strains have also reported positive experiences. Consumers report pairing energetic strains with activities like gaming, writing, designing, building, and admin/clerical work. While more sedative strains tended to be favored for abstract artistic work.

As a rough guide, consumers with a high THC tolerance may “underperform”, meaning you’ll still enjoy the health benefits but the enhancements may not be as noticeable at the standard dosage. Assessing your experience after an hour, these consumers may want to add a 3rd cube to support the enhancement. This may also be necessary for larger individuals and those who regularly consume large quantities of THC. If your endocannabinoid system is constantly stimulated, it may need more support from CannaBlendz. We do not recommend ever taking more than 4 cubes, however, because this will increase the chances for a negative reaction in the rare event of an unknown predisposition against an ingredient.

Reports of enhanced focus fell off dramatically when there was a lot of task-switching, the environment caused frequent interruptions, and/or there wasn’t a specific activity being focused on. MasterMind enhances your “spot light” focus, but it’s not going to force you to focus amidst chaos like some drugs that stress your central nervous system and increase cortisol production. Fortunately, even if your circumstances degrade your ability to benefit from the heightened flow state and focus, it is still supporting your mental function in both the immediate and longer term.

The way natural supplements affect each of us varies, just like cannabis, based on our physiology, genetics, and habits. Fortunately, the long-term health benefits are more resilient than the short-term functional enhancements to your high, but to help you make the most of your experience the following tips should be kept in mind.
- Heavy caffeine and THC consumption may mean you need to increase your standard dose. Please give the 2 cube suggested dose an hour to assess its effectiveness before adding a 3rd cube, and we discourage taking more than 4 cubes per day.
- Create an environment that will support your focus and allow MasterMind to enhance your effectiveness and mental performance, rather than waste its support just overcoming distractions. Avoid multitasking and interruptions for the best results.
- If you want to get more stoned, consume more cannabis. MasterMind won’t make you higher. But if you get really, really stoned, even MasterMind won’t be able to help you be productive. Our objective is to enhance the functional use of cannabis, so very heavy consumption is outside of our scope.

Health Benefits
With regular use of 2 or more times per week, CannaBlendz enhances your ability to cope with mental, physical, and environmental stress. While each Blend has a different functional effect, with regular use they all provide substantial support for homeostasis, the state of equilibrium our body seeks when pushed out of balance by stressors. This means any combination of CannaBlendz products taken 2 or more times per week will make you more resilient, productive, emotionally balanced, and feel healthier.
For MasterMind specifically, consumers report increased productivity, feeling more physically & emotionally relaxed, increased mental stamina, and improved sleep. Many reported being most excited about the fact that locking into a project and being extra productive is now a chance for them to support their on-going mental health.

While most all of CannaBlendz ingredients support aspects of homeostasis, the real superstars are the adaptogens. Out of more than 70,000 medicinal plants around the world, only 12 are known as adaptogens. They were given this name, because they help your body adapt to physical, chemical, and biological stress by supporting homeostasis. Remarkably, their effects also adapt to your unique needs. This means we can each start in our own unique physical, pharmacological and psychological position, but they bring us back to the balanced middle. They’re known to help improve sleep, digestion, motivation, peace of mind, productivity, and physical performance.
MasterMind blends three potent nootropics with Ginseng, one of the world’s most widely used adaptogens. When combined with an activated endocannabinoid system and the other ingredients in the blend, consumers report a significant enhancement in the adaptogenic benefits over what they normally experience. This means the effects are stronger at lower and less frequent doses.
Typically adaptogenic benefits are noticed in hindsight. A common comment is, “You know I’ve been getting a lot done, feeling good, and things haven’t been bothering me as much. I think it’s working!” So it often takes a week or two to notice and realize they’re making a difference, and it wasn’t just “a couple of good days”. If you’ve got a regular workout routine, you might notice your feeling more energetic, or just not as tired afterwards. If you’ve got a difficult person you work with, you may notice you don’t feel like strangling them as often. Maybe you’re getting just a little further down your to-do list each day, or you’re waking up feeling like it was a great night of sleep more often. It will be subtle small steps, that will add up to big improvements in the quality of your life over time.
The Science
For cannabis we talk about the “entourage effect”, where the combined effect of multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids on the endocannabinoid system is greater than the sum of their parts. Expanding this concept, the science behind CannaBlendz is complex, but straightforward. Each blend triggers a "Super Entourage Effect" that engages receptors in multiple systems to collaborate with the endocannabinoid system.
The Receptor Map helps us visualize how many more receptors and systems we engage towards our goals than with just cannabis alone. The receptors each CannaBlendz ingredients effects are captured on the outer circle and the receptors THC effects in the endocannabinoid system are on the inner circle. Utilizing the principles of network pharmacology, where one looks at the combined effect of many small advances toward an outcome, each of these receptors represents another part of your body that has been engaged to help you achieve your goals and improve your wellness.
CannaBlendz’s patent pending Blendz were formulated to reduce the quantity of medicine required, potential adverse reactions, and variability of results all while enhancing the functional benefits of your experience and supporting your long term health benefits. With MasterMind, for example, we trigger receptors that support focus, cognition, memory, alertness, and feelings of calm to shape your experience.
