FOCUS
CHEAT SHEET
In recent years (after legalization), the psychological and psychiatric community has been focused on cannabis and ADD/ADHD profiles. Most of the research has been focused on the prevalence of "self-medication" in juveniles. OUI is against cannabis for brains under 25 specifically because it clouds or aggravates symptoms of issues in a growing, changing brain.
However, if we flip the lens and focus our sights on all the reasons adults experience distraction up to symptoms related to adult ADD and ADHD, we see a personal record of cannabis use to great success, both from the peri and postmenopausal mind to the mind that is constantly in motion. As research continues to become available, OUI will be waiting with our reading glasses and sharpened pencils ready to FOCUS. {with the assistance of a micro dose of THCv)

From Fog to Focus: How Cannbis Aids the Female Brain
5 MIN READ / BY THE OUI STAFF
Whether you are facing a weekend of taxes and finances or have to finally write that huge project summary, cannabis can be a great assistant, especially for the peri and postmenopausal brain, or the brain that has always been more like fireworks in a closet.
Adult ADD and ADHD
While research is slow on the clinical effects of cannabis on Adult ADD and ADHD and is more focused on the relationship between juveniles and cannabis as self-medication, there are countless positive anecdotal stories of adults with ADD and ADHD microdosing cannabis before a large task that requires focus and endurance. Procrastination can be gone, and easy, natural focus is here without the crash, irritability, or edginess of pharmaceutical stimulants, excessive caffeine or other over the counter stimulants.
THCv is the Wise Goddess
She delivers a "clear-headed high" that provides a lift without the giggles and cotton wool. THCv is rare cannabinoid and has only recently gained attention because it attracts a majority of female consumers focused on well-being over "high." THCv is known for its energizing and focusing effects, with some users reporting that strains high in THCv provide a more clear-headed, energizing, and focusing effect compared to strains high in THC.
In addition to its cognitive benefits, THCv
-
Regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, which could be beneficial for individuals with diabetes.
-
Antioxidant properties that may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
-
May have neuroprotective properties, which could be beneficial in treating neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. Unlike THC, which is known for stimulating appetite (the "munchies"), THCV has been shown to potentially reduce appetite and may be useful for weight management.

CBG, the Focuser
CBG, or cannabigerol, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has been gaining attention for its potential to support focus and energy. Some users report that it provides a clear-headed, energizing effect without the jitters or anxiety that can come with other stimulants. Additionally, CBG has been shown to have neuroprotective properties, which may help support cognitive function and mental clarity. While more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind these effects, CBG may be a promising natural option for those seeking to boost their focus and energy levels without relying on traditional stimulants.
Elevating Cannabis Through Science & Intention
What sets Level apart is their deep dive into rare cannabinoids. While most brands focus on THC and CBD, Level explores the untapped potential of CBG, CBN, THCA, and the focus-enhancing THCV. This innovative approach allows for a range of targeted effects - from improving sleep to boosting concentration and even mitigating the effects of overindulgence.
Level's commitment to consistency is unparalleled. Every product delivers the same effect, time after time, setting a new standard for reliability in the cannabis industry. This dedication to predictability transforms cannabis from a wild card into a precision tool for wellness.
We at OUI are particularly excited about Level's work with THCV, one of the first to harness its power for extended periods of focus. It's this kind of forward-thinking that aligns perfectly with our vision of cannabis as a path to renewal and self-improvement.
In celebrating Level, we at OUI are championing a future where cannabis is not just consumed, but understood. A future where each dose is a step towards better understanding ourselves and unlocking our potential. That's the kind of innovation that truly elevates the cannabis experience
