If you had to pick the perfect place to live, you would probably be hard-pressed to find a more idyllic location than Colorado Springs, Colorado. Don’t just take our word for it — US News ranked it the second-best city to live in nationally and is considered the fastest-growing locating for Millennials.

But what makes this city so unique? First of all, the scenery is absolutely stunning, being part of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Due to its location, the climate is delightful. While obviously getting warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter, we don’t see the same extremes in temperature as in other parts of the country.

Of course, the big draw here is the overall high quality of life. There is so much to do and stay active in the process. Despite having around half a million residents, we have 5,000 acres of open space areas in 48 locations!

Also, Colorado Springs has an economy based on the future. Not only is there a significant US Airforce presence in the city, but high tech manufacturing and design play a large role in the local economy. It goes without saying that since you need a well-educated workforce for these industries, you will have a well-educated population.

So, if you combine this well-educated city who find keeping healthy to be important, you’re going to end up with people who are in front of the curve when it comes to the best health trends. When it comes to health, there is almost nothing hotter on the market than CBD oil and other CBD products.

As we further examine the city of Colorado Springs and their use of CBD, we will be focusing on the following areas: what is CBD, why is everyone talking about it and why so many people using CBD oil in Colorado Springs?

The Heathy People of Colorado Springs

One of the best ways to stay healthy is to keep active. And by that metric, Colorado Springs is just about as healthy as you can get. One of the reasons that the residents stay so active is because there is just so much to do! In fact, the city is so well known for its outdoor activities that tourism is one of its top industries.

Another important aspect of health is access to healthcare and how often it is used. Over 90% of residents visited a doctor in the past year and over three quarters visited a dentist. Not only are these excellent statistics in general, but they also show an uptick from recent years, showing that things are only looking up!

Based on how healthy minded the people of Colorado Springs are, it comes as no surprise that they have been using more and more CBD as the years go on. But how does CBD actually work and what sort of effects does it have?

What is CBD?

Before we can talk about CBD’s benefits, we suppose it’s best to talk about what it is and what it isn’t. First off, CBD is a cannabis product, which is no stranger here, since Colorado was one of the first states to legalize recreational marijuana use in 2012.

Cannabidiol (commonly called CBD) is a compound that makes up around 40% of all cannabis plants’ dry weight. An important distinction here is that CBD products are not considered marijuana products. They contain little to no THC, the compound in marijuana that gives you that famous high. This distinction is fundamental because while THC is generally used recreationally, CBD is used purely therapeutically. Also, although THC products are legal in the state of Colorado, Colorado Springs has chosen not to allow any product with THC (including marijuana) within their city limits without a prescription.

Even though cannabis is a plant, many of its compounds are effective in the human body as we have an endocannabinoid system. Instead of having a specific purpose like your digestive system or endocrine system, the endocannabinoid system plays a large role in the overall balance of the other system in your body. The compounds it creates are remarkably similar to what is found in cannabis plants, making CBD work so well.

Since CBD products don’t contain any THC, they are legal in all 50 states and have been heavily researched in recent years. In fact, if you were to search “CBD” and type in the name of almost any university that does medical research, you will probably find a long list of results.

But what are some specific types of benefits of CBD that might be of interest to the fine people of Colorado Springs?

Treat Altitude Sickness

If you have ever traveled to an altitude as high as Colorado Springs, you may have found yourself needing to catch your breath or felt dizzy for a few days. This is because your body is trying to acclimate to the lower levels of available oxygen. For most people, this feeling goes away after a few days. However, it can be downright dangerous for people with conditions like asthma.

CBD comes to the rescue in two ways. First, it can help you get to sleep and improve that sleep quality, helping you recover overall. Second, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, breathing issues can be mitigated so that you can get to breathing normally as soon as possible.

Z

Recovery for an Active Lifestyle

While being active is one of the best things you can do for your health, microtears and other stresses on the body can add up over time. If you find yourself unable to relax completely, your body may have a difficult time repairing itself. CBD works to not only relax the body but the mind itself.

Keep Yourself Warm During Those Winter Months

We know that bears like to build up their fat reserves to keep them warm during the winter, but why doesn’t that seem to work well for humans? The main reason is that the kind of fat this keeps you warm is brown fat, not the typical white fat most of us have in abundance.

CBD has been shown to help the body convert a larger percentage of our white fat into brown. While this isn’t to say you can ditch your winter coat, it is sure to keep you a little more comfortable when you’re out on the slopes.

Health Challenges in Colorado Springs

Although Colorado Springs is far and away one of the healthiest cities around, it still has its challenges like everywhere else. Mental health issues and opiate addiction are easily one of the standout issues affecting the city and state.

Of all the great statistics we have here, Colorado, unfortunately, is ranked 10^th in the nation for suicides, which is closely associated with depression. We are obviously aware that depression is a complex disease, so speak with your doctor before beginning to use CBD, especially if you are already taking medication.

That being said, if you suffer from mild depression, CBD may help you to alleviate the symptoms. For example,

First of all, there are many people who have chronic pain who are unable to find relief from over-the-counter medications or lower-level prescription medication. As a result, they look to more powerful options, either legally or illegally. Since medications such as oxycodone are known to be incredibly addictive, using them in the long term can easily cause dependency.

If you are finding that you can’t seem to find that medications that give you the relief you need, consider CBD products as they work very differently than most pain medications without the same risk of addiction or nasty side effects.

Another issue involves the addiction itself. Most of us are addicted to something, even if it is just caffeine or sugar. Even though these are relatively minor addictions, think about how you feel without your morning Joe. Think of that with opiates, but on a large order of magnitude. This sort of addiction is almost impossible to break without some form of outside help.

While more research is needed, multiple studies have shown promise with CBD and addiction. A study at the University College of London suggested that CBD can help alleviate withdrawal symptoms, taking the edge off. However, it also showed that it can alter the way the patient remembered the effects of the drug, playing a role in phycological addiction.

Another issue that can be related to opiate abuse is depression. Some figures estimate that about 14% of the city suffers from depression. It can affect anyone during any phase of a person’s life, but the effects can be felt in every part of the sufferer’s life.

Of course, depression is a deeply complex issue that even the experts do not understand completely, so we do not want to present CBD as a miracle cure, which it is not. However, promising studies are underway that show just how it can help with mild to moderate depression symptoms. Before attempting to use CBD for depression, be sure to consult with your doctor, especially if you are currently taking other medications.

How to Use CBD

Great! So, now you have a quick rundown of what CBD is and what it can do. But how can you actually use it?

The most basic form of CBD is CBD oil, which is essentially a mostly pure form of the extract mixed with a carrier. This can be taken as is or mixed with other products.

Other common forms of CBD include external products like CBD lotions, CBD creams, CBD roll-ons or CBD edibles (such as the common CBD gummies or pastries).

So, which is form is right for you? Well, that depends on a few factors, like why are you taking it and what you feel most comfortable with.

For example, let’s say you have been mountain climbing and your lats are killing you. We would recommend using an external product, such as a lotion.

On the other hand, perhaps you have an exam coming up and feel too anxious to sleep. Then it would probably be best to use an internal product, such as capsules.

Common forms of CBD products:

CBD Oil

CBD Capsules

CBD Creams

CBD Edibles

CBD Lotions

CBD Oral Sprays

CBD Roll-Ons

CBD Salve

But what if you want to use CBD for multiple purposes and do not want to buy various products? What then? This would be a textbook reason to buy CBD oil itself. As previously mentioned, it can be combined with products you may already have or you can even cook with it!

Before using CBD, we have a few reminders for you. First of all, be sure that you know exactly how CBD affects you before driving or operating heavy machinery.

Also, CBD affects everybody differently. So, if you find that you are not getting the results you want, you may need to change your dosage. If you find that you are getting little to no effect even while using the maximum dosage, just be patient. Many people find that they need to use CBD a few times before their body starts to react.
