Nuvata’s New Mind Body Series Is Wellness In Your Pocket

July 20, 2022

When it comes to cannabis, according to a recent UW report, vaping, relative to combustible smoking, was associated with better health and wellbeing.  Nuvata’s new Mind  Body Series hits the spot. Nuvata’s goal is to make it simple and easy for you to enjoy the wellness, mindfulness, and fun that cannabis can bring to life in the safest and healthiest way possible.

Nuvata products follow a strict set of ingredient standards that are designed to meet compliance and quality requirements now and into the future. There are NO thinning agents to dilute their oil. These compounds can form harmful byproducts when heated. Also, the delicious flavors come from naturally-occurring compounds. Blends use a wide range of botanically-inspired components to create bolder, fruitier, and tastier flavors.

Also, Nuvata uses 100% live resin, it is better at providing consumers with a balanced effect instead of just providing a flavored THC buzz. It’s the closest thing you’ll get to smoking a joint.

Nuvata is an all-natural, premium disposable cannabis vaporizer company with notably tailored, science-backed terpenoid formulations. Their aim is to make achieving mindfulness and wellness as effortless and enjoyable as possible. A simple and easy way to reach for wellness, achieve mindfulness and have some fun with cannabis is through Nuvata’s MindBody Vape Series.

Best Nicotine Products for Smokers in LA

May 12, 2022

No one smokes anymore right?

Smoking isn’t allowed in the majority of places in Los Angeles. The smoking prohibition ordinance by the LA City Council disallows the use of smoking devices—even electric ones like vape pens—in smoke-free areas. This means that you can only smoke in your household or in designated smoking spaces.

However, all is not lost for nicotine consumers in the City of Angels. There are alternative ways to consume nicotine that don’t require cigarettes. What’s better is that many of these are available within the city, so you won’t have to search far and wide just to get your dose of nicotine. With that said, here are the best nicotine products in LA:

Rogue Nicotine Pouch

Nicotine pouches are small bags that are placed between your lip and gum. The nicotine is then absorbed into your system, satisfying your cravings without the need to light a cigarette. When you buy a Rogue Nicotine Pouch you are getting a smoking alternative that is made with clean and sugar-free ingredients. The pouches come in 3 mg and 6 mg varieties, which allows users to experiment with what works best for them. They have classic flavors like spearmint and peppermint, but also more unique ones such as mango and berry.

Because these pouches are small, they’re discreet enough to use in places like clubs or restaurants—no one will even notice that it is in your mouth. They’re perfect for when you’re on the go.

Lucy Nicotine Gum

Unlike ordinary gum, nicotine gum is slowly chewed so the nicotine can slowly release inside your mouth. You’ll know when it’s working when you feel a tingling sensation. Purchase Lucy’s Nicotine Gum for optimal taste, texture, and a quick nicotine release. There are several flavors to choose from including pomegranate, mint, and espresso.

Since they’re packed and shaped like ordinary gum, other people won’t suspect anything if you’re conscious of that. They’re easy to use, too, so you can have them while you’re out having fun and socializing in the city.

Habitrol Nicotine Transdermal Patch

Not to be confused with a nicotine pouch, these act like stickers for your skin that deliver nicotine to your bloodstream. They’re designed to be worn for long periods, making them perfect for busy bees and partygoers alike who may not have time to use other nicotine products. The Habitrol Nicotine Patches can be worn for a full 24 hours. They’re opaque as well, so you won’t have to worry about them peeking through your clothes or being too noticeable when you’re all dressed up.

These are worn for a full day, so reusing them is a big no. This might cause you to experience issues like nausea and weakness from over wearing.

Nicorette QuickMist Spray

Nicotine mouth sprays are fast-acting and straightforward to use. One spray is normally equivalent to one stick, so they’re a quick way to satisfy your cravings. It’s a hassle-free option for when you’re in a public place.

The Nicorette QuickMist Spray works in 30 seconds, giving you relief immediately. This also means that you don’t have any waste to take care of until the bottle is empty, so you can go on with your day as soon as you get your nicotine fill. Its packaging is also sleek and compact, perfect for bringing it around wherever you go. To use this alternative, simply spray under your tongue or inner cheek.

With smoking being banned in several places in LA, get your hands on these nicotine alternatives for your convenience and pleasure. If you enjoyed this article, and are looking for alternative cannabis products you should check out our other piece called ‘Celebrating Plant Medicine on 4.20’
