The following adverse effects have also been reported:
Pineapple Express is shown to provide a number of positive effects, as well as potentially some negative side effects.
Cannabis contains many anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds that can beat stress and reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol.
THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to relieve some of the pain and other symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.
Utilizing CBD and other phytocannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis may help replace the lost endocannabinoids, helping treat pain and mood disorders associated with NF1 gene mutations. Using THC may help boost dopamine levels in the brain.
Medical cannabis may also help reduce the intake of stimulant medications. Terpenes like beta-caryophyllene and limonene may be beneficial for reducing the intake of stimulants and addiction in general.
Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.
Generally, it is best to go slow and low, especially if you are eating cannabis, where a starting dose of 2.5 mg – 5.0 mg is ideal. Those inhaling cannabis should take just one or two puffs at a time, waiting a few minutes between each pull to lower the chances of an overwhelming effect.
Pineapple Express is a hybrid cannabis variety that does well indoors and out. It is generally recommended to grow Pineapple Express in soil and, if planting outdoors, to protect it from too much wind to prevent the stalks from snapping. Pineapple Express can produce yields of up to 19 ounces per plant or square meter. Silica sprays or root feeds may also help boost the plant’s strength and yield.
Due to its genetics, you may get a wide variety of Pineapple Express phenotypes, from the more common sativa-dominant, uplifting plants to the shorter, more relaxing indica varieties. This can make Pineapple Express ideal for those who are looking to grow several types of cannabis plants with different effects for different times of the day.
Expect Pineapple Express to grow between 3.5 and 6 feet, depending on the phenotype.
