Performance

Stamina Blend

When you need both energy and motivation to perform, Performance is the blend for you. Cannabis alone, particularly your favorite sativa, can reduce both your energy and motivation but adding CannaBlendz Performance increases your energy, confidence, positive outlook, and physical well-being. Raving fans describe Performance as the perfect pre-workout companion.

Functional Enhancements

The lively drive that Performance encourages can be achieved with both energizing strains and more calming strains of cannabis. Users mention matching energizing strains with activities such as sports, workouts, and other physically demanding tasks. Meanwhile, less invigorating strains are often preferred for tasks or lengthy social gatherings.

  • As a rough guide, the caffeine in Performance’s Guarana equals about half a cup of coffee at the recommended two cube serving. Consumers who are sensitive to caffeine may want to start with 1 cube and assess their dosage after about 45 minutes. For consumers with a high caffeine tolerance, it helps activate the enhancement so 2 cubes may “underperform”, meaning you’ll still enjoy the health benefits but the enhancements may not be as noticeable. 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.

  • More than 20% of consumers report sativas and/or “typical” doses of THC make them anxious. These consumers have reported Performance gives them the positive “sativa feeling” with the more calming strains they can tolerate. Similarly, low dose consumers describe finding themselves “super engaged and kicking ass”, calling it a “procrastination killer” and saying, “it makes working out more fun.”
  • 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.

    1. We’ve mentioned above that heavy caffeine and THC consumption may mean you need to increase your standard dose. Similarly, if your natural tolerance for caffeine and other drugs is unusually high, you may want to add a 3rd cube to your consumption. 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.
    2. As with most supplements and drugs, if you’re an above average sized human, please give the 2-cube suggested dose an hour to assess its effectiveness before adding a 3rd cube. We discourage taking more than 4 cubes per day.
    3. If you want to get more stoned, consume more cannabis. Performance won’t make you higher. But if you get really, really stoned, even Performance won’t be able to help you perform. 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 Performance specifically, consumers report feeling more emotionally relaxed, improved stamina, sleep, productivity, and increased physical well-being. Many reported being most excited about the fact that what was once a source of stress, extended social engagements, 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.

    The adaptogen driving Performance is Rhodiola Rosea. This came to notoriety as a supplement for Olympic athletes, because of its ability to help them recover from their grueling workouts. 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 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 about a week 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 stronger, 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 involves multiple systems in collaboration 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 ingredient effects are captured on the outer circle. 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. 

These 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 Performance, for example, we trigger receptors that stimulate energy, motivation, and feelings of confidence to shape your experience.
