Our Menu is Curated Perfectly for Your Time At Home

During COVID-19. Here are a Few Helpful Steps Below.

Step 1: Don’t Pass the Joint or Share the Vape! Find Peace In Knowing That…You May Not Be Going Anywhere for a While

On Thursday, we hit a grim watershed. The US overtook Italy and China as the country with the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases.

- Prof. Jeff Sachs, Director | 26 Mar 20

Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University

Yeahhh, even mayors in the Southern U.S. are hitting the vape pens without discretion these days. And that’s perfectly fine, no judgements here, obviously. But we do want to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to become comfortable with restricting movements outside of the home as much as possible for your own safety, your family, and so on. We call this Acceptance. Thus, we do encourage you to take a deep breath and use this time to connect with self and loved ones during this time. The COVID-19 situation has literally turned the world upside down and what can we do besides protect ourselves and acclimate to the change with grace, intention, and most importantly, embrace an inner peace in acceptance that you are in complete control of the situation around you. We recommend our Focus Coast 2:1 CBD-Dominant Flower for this exercise to help you relax without a heavy high.

If you can find the free time, we also encourage you to write your policy makers at the judiciary levels and demand that they release non-violent cannabis offenders immediately. Check out the Last Prisoner Project and the Minority Cannabis Business Alliance for more information on how you can contribute to the conversation.

Step 2: Minimize Stress. Find a Balanced Rhythm That AlLows You to Work & Play

1, Plan Holistically.

2. Get Real with Your Boss & Teammates.

3. Confirm Changing Priorities and Deadlines.

4. Optimize Your Stamina.

5. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate.

We’re going to say this to those of us whom need to hear this; Thou Shall Not Spend the Entire Corona Epidemic Dysfunctionally High! We will not get on the company video call with red, tiny eyes and a perfect smile! But we will business on the top and pajama on the bottom! Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, we’ve taken an excerpt from Kourtney Whitehead’s piece on Forbes.com with a few steps to help those working from home. Even if you can’t work from home right now, use this time to fill out important financial relief requests, cancel unnecessary monthly charges, learn new information and skills, in addition to working on personal projects that you’ve been putting off. We encourage you to utilize this time to take extra care of yourself, appreciate friends and family more, and take the dog on more frequent walks; socially distanced of course. Finding a balanced work-home life while working from home should be fun and enlightening for you and your family during this time. Avoid watching too much media, just enough to stay informed of important details.

Step 3: Take Care of Your Immune System. Eat Well, Move Well, Rest Well: An Intro to Cannabimimetics

“Cannabimimetics are substances, non-cannabis substances, or practices that stimulate the endocannabinoid system…we have our cannabinoids, then we have everything that falls under the cannabimimetic category, which is nutrition, detoxification, supplementation, physical activity, deep breathing, yoga, meditation, acupuncture…[and more that we discuss with patients].”

- Dr. Rachel Knox - MD, Endocannabinologist

Co-Founder at Advent Academy

As we toss our bags of Reese’s and gummy worms under our desk during the creation of this post, we’re talking to all of our colleagues and neighbors out there when we say what we’re going to say next. That summer body is not going to snack itself into perfection and there are a lot of closed gyms right now! Unless we all agree to snack and eat healthier, we’re going to be spending a few more dollars on new wardrobe pieces and fitness trainers after this. So we want you to have some fun with your healthy snacks! Dr. Rachel Knox describes cannabimimetics above and we are sharing some of our favorite cannabimimetic foods with you. Try wild lavender and holy basil infused in lemonade sweetened with a Kikoko Honey Shot, cinnamon & cloves pair really well in herbal teas as well as add spice to bold flavored meals, rosemary and black pepper with fresh-squeezed lemon juice can really enhance wild-caught fish that are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, and kava tea bars are really fun with friends (once we’re allowed to go out and play again). The goal should always be as natural foods as possible while reducing/eliminating excessive intake of processed foods, including processed vegan options.

We always hear that exercise is an important habit to maintain and we can’t emphasize that enough during this time, especially for our colleagues and neighbors sheltering-in-place with family and/or roomies. Physical activity is not only vital to your physical health, but also your mental health and mood. Parents should also be mindful of this and ensure enough movement for little ones at home. We should all be stretching more and taking time to inhale all the good stuff and exhale all the other stuff that we may be thinking about, but can’t control. After your exercise and/or meditation, we recommend relaxing with our Hybrid True Ryder Flower (50/50) which relaxes the body and the mind with a pleasantly high experience or our Retreat Granimals Indica-Dominant Flower which is a great body high that makes you fall in love with your favorite spot on the couch all over again, every time. We encourage everyone to reward themselves accordingly after an amazing work-from-home day, online trainer session, and cannabimimetic balanced dinner. That includes a good night’s rest.

Lastly, and as disheartening as this is, medical experts are advising to reduce, if not negate, smoking and vaping excessively during COVID-19. As the Corona Virus impacts the lungs, excessive smoking or vaping could cause additional stress on the lungs and weaken immune response to combatting the virus. Individuals with compromised immune systems and opioid users are advised to take additional precautions. Thus, during this time, we want to remind our consumers to consume responsibly and optimally. Avoid tobacco or chemically processed rolling papers, potentially try bongs and glass bowls in addition to inhaling slower with shorter breaths to reduce the potential of over-stressing your lungs. Right now may also be a great time to try and/or fine-tune your experience with edibles, tinctures, etc. Infused-ingredients, such as cannabis and CBD butter, may also be fun to experiment with during some of your new-found free time! Check out Jeff the 420 Chef for some amazing inspiration and recipe ideas. At James Henry, our flower and our products help you consume optimally for any part of the day and we want to keep you safe and informed always.

Step 4: Save Time, Be Safe, Order It Online

As the infectious new coronavirus grinds global commerce to a halt, essential businesses can’t just stop, and that includes medical and adult-use cannabis. For California and Colorado’s licensed cannabis stores—which regulators have deemed essential—that means rolling out curbside pickup, drive-thrus, and delivery services to try and break the virus’ chain of transmission.

In the spirit of social distancing during COVID-19, everything you can order online, order it online and enjoy the front door convenience. Some supplies are a little harder to find than others at the moment, but a lot of our colleagues and neighbors have found luck in some smaller establishments and websites. Luckily, cannabis delivery services are readily available for your essential cannabis and CBD needs. Try Frosty Flowers Delivery, New Life Delivery, and Greenline Delivery for service throughout the Oakland, San Francisco, Peninsula, East Bay (Berkeley, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton), and Southeast Bay. We encourage you to order the James Henry, naturally, and try other amazing products that suit your consumption needs. If you must go out, make sure you protect yourself by keeping hand sanitizer, face masks or handkerchiefs, and sanitizing wipes handy. Get in and get out, maintain being a human being in the process. It’s inherently rude to treat your neighbors like they have rabies or something. We encourage that you speak, make eye contact, pass to the right of each other, etc. Our retail partners are practicing sanitization, social distancing, touch-less and curbside services in Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco for your James Henry Essentials; some are even establishing delivery options including The James Henry Concierge (COMING SOON). Be Smart, Be Safe.

Step 5: Keep Calm & Carry On With Your Life, Creatively and purposefully

There may be shortages of hand sanitizer, toilet paper and COVID-19 test kits (depending on who is talking), but one pandemic survival tool appears to be getting more abundant every day: the kindness of strangers.

If you’re familiar with the James Henry artwork and the meaning behind the birds speaking to one another, then you know that we are big on community. Our collective lives were already interesting before, but add the COVID-19 pandemic with limited resources and knowledge of protecting ourselves, plus cabin fever and you’ll get something similar to the reality of yourself and others around you. Check on your neighbors, your friends, your family and loved ones often during these times. We have to get through this together as a community and that includes being good neighbors. Take this time to create new art, new music, new and improved habits, and stay calm throughout the process. We recommend combining our Focus Coast 2:1 and our Social Lemon Jack Flowers to help stimulate those ideas without being too energized, but pleasantly blissed and uplifted. During this time, James Henry will be developing content and more products that will provide great experiences during COVID-19 and beyond. Keep your heads up, stay safe out there, (Parents - Remember to Lock Up Your Essentials from the Little Ones Home from School) and don’t forget to consume your James Henry and other products responsibly.

Don’t Spread Corona, Spread Love! BUT don’t pass the joint for now.

The James Henry Team wanted to share highlights from one of the world’s largest cannabis conferences at Marijuana Business Daily’s MJ Biz Conference - Las Vegas. This event highlights B2B innovation and education for cannabis business professionals and curious business owners from around the world. The growing support for cannabis legalization and normalization continues as MJ Business Daily reports a record number of attendees with over 27,000 registered participants.

Our very own co-founders were in attendance at the conference with John Henry - COO, James Henry SF participating in an interesting panel discussion that filled a conference room at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Navigating the CBD Maze. The panel discussion focused on sharing legality, efficacy, consumption methods, and other relevant information on both hemp and cannabis CBD products and applications. James Henry SF was honored to participate on the panel with EBB & Flow Farms and Herba Prima Co-Founder/CEO Amy Pascal and East Fork Cultivars Education & Partnership Manager Anna Symonds, both from the Oregon market. The panel was moderated by Marijuana Business Daily’s John Schroyer who asked a series of questions that allowed the panelists to explain full spectrum extracts and isolates, hemp-derived vs cannabis-derived extracts, promising business opportunities for the growing CBD markets, their views on CBD for pets, and more. Guests eagerly listened to the various expertise and advice which included cultivation experiences as well as extraction experiences. Here’s what John had to say about the panel:

It was an honor to share experiences and perspectives on the rise of CBD across the country. While there are plenty of business opportunities, the real power is in helping people learn about the benefits of CBD and how effective use can mean the difference between an average individual, or a patient, and a better quality of life. There are thousands of stories from all demographics where a CBD-enriched endocannabinoid system yields faster recovery times from fatigue, relief from nausea, anxiety, dry skin, and many other common and chronic inconveniences.

For entrepreneurs and businesses looking to participate in the CBD cultivation and product industry, we all have a responsibility to the patients and consumers that re looking for relief from something when they purchase our products. It’s up to us to navigate the local regulatory landscapes in addition to the true science behind developing products that are effective and/or supplemental. But we must always remember the purpose via the quality and care we place into our products and businesses.

Lastly, it was a great pleasure ot participate on the panel with other great entrepreneurs and industry professionals with Marijuana Business Daily. As this was my second year attending, it was an honor to return as a guest speaker at the largest cannabis event in the world!

The James Henry SF team takes pride in possessing the most potent, uncut disposable cannabis products in the marketplace. Our products are carefully curated from seed-to-sale, with pesticide-free flower sources that undergo various checkpoints during the CO2 extraction and distillation processes. All of our disposable products possess natural, cannabis-extracted compounds and terpenes. Our products contain no additives, no fillers, and no carrier oils. They’re possibly the most beautiful oil in a disposable vape pen EVER!

During development, we carefully identified CBD and THC  ratios to enhance your lifestyle at any time of the day and saving you that trip to the dispensary. CBD balances the negative impacts of THC consumption (i.e. orientation, eye trafficking, heart rate), and various ratios of CBD and THC provide different experiences and benefits.

Daytime: Focus

Start Your Day Off Right

Formulated to de-stress the worries of the workday, our Daytime: Focus formula helps to calm anxiety and maintain concentration for tasks at hand. Inspired by the synthetic pharmaceutical drug Adderall, which is commonly used to treat ADHD, this 5:1 CBD-dominant formulation is great for slowing racing thoughts, smoothing anxious edges, and providing a fully functional experience to help optimize your busy day. This tranquil calm is one that only you will recognize, as this formulation has not been designed to cause low-eyes or other negative symptoms when used properly. Parents and professionals are raving about these benefits.

Our formulation has also been shown to be great for helping ease irritability and anxiety disorder, which has been shown to affect over 40 million adults in the US.  And for those who are still experiencing rattled nerves after a long day in the office, this ratio of THC has been proven to help balance and deescalate those unwanted feelings of anxiety. As it encourages focus, this formula simultaneously aids in relieving ADHD, a chronic condition producing attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness.

Evening: Social

Be Your True Self

Kinda shy? We are too. But that doesn’t stop us from enjoying happy hours with friends and colleagues. Inspired by Prozac, which is used to treat depression, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, we formulated an ideal mix of CBD and THC in our Social product. Our Evening: Social formula is a 10:1 THC-dominant formulation that will take away those feelings of awkward bar conversations, while allowing you to be comfortable with your witty quirks and social ninja skills. By combating the negative effects of THC with the added benefits of CBD, we’ve perfected what you will need in those awkward social situations. This formulation contains the right balance of sativa properties that provide an excellent experience, which is pleasantly apparent to the temple and relieves pressure from behind the eyes.

This ratio has been shown to be effective for inspiring creativity and social engagement. Therefore it simultaneously combats depression, a disorder that affects approximately 14.8 million American adults in a given year. In addition, this 10:1 THC-dominant formulation helps to relieve ache and pain. Thereby it serves as a muscle relaxant with antispasmodic effects, as well as a powerful neuroprotectant and antioxidant. In fact, it has 20 times the anti-inflammatory power of aspirin and twice that of hydrocortisone.

Weekend: Retreat

Relax & Unwind

TGIF! Or not. Weekend: Retreat is great for escaping weekdays and clocking out for weekends alike. The benefits of this THC dominant product are best felt during periods of rest, relaxation, and recovery at home. This formulation will enhance your favorite music album, increase laughter towards your favorite movie, and allow you to rest easier at night. Inspired by the synthetic pharmaceutical drug  Xanax, which acts on the brain to produce a calming effect, and formulated with the experienced consumers in mind, this ratio of indica properties produces an amazing body experience that enables deep relaxation and stimulates recovery of sore muscles from those long gym sessions.

Weekend:Retreat is recommended for relaxation, musical appreciation and sound therapy. Since this formula is dominated by THC, the THC is able to bind with cannabinoid receptors in the brain and central nervous system to stimulate relaxation. Because of this, this product line also helps with insomnia and chronic pain. In addition, Weekend:Retreat helps stimulate the appetite. As THC binds to receptors, they trigger the brain to induce neurons to stimulate the production of ghrelin - the 'hunger hormone'.

How To Use

For your simplicity of use, our disposable vape pen is equipped with hardware that requires no charging or screwing, no buttons and no attaching or detaching. To use, simply open our gorgeous pack and begin enjoying a simple, easy, and relaxing James Henry SF experience.

For maximum benefit, you should take 2-3 second inhalations, by simply putting the atomizer to your lips and inhaling, until desired relief and/or experience is achieved. We suggest inhaling through the CCell Atomizer slowly, almost sipping, for the best experience. Try to avoid holding the vapor within your lungs, as THC has been shown to be absorbed into your system within seconds of inhaling. Feel free to wait a minute or so until the next inhalation.

Our Approach

We recommend using CBD in the morning to assist with focus, a CBD:THC ratio in the afternoon or evening to help enjoy a happy hour or social situation, and a THC solution at night and/or on the weekends for therapeutic assistance and muscle recovery.  We’ve got you covered during every part of the day: we created the optimal daytime product, Focus, to harness CBD’s benefits in order for our users to start their day off right. We formulated Social to allow users to be more comfortable in those awkward social situations. And we crafted Retreat with an optimal THC percentage to provide an ideal user experience for rest and relaxation, all while encouraging responsible consumption. Our products allow consumers to experience all of the great benefits of cannabis throughout the day as a productive and alert individual when consumed properly.
