Even though it’s next to impossible to overdose on cannabis, that doesn’t mean it’s not something that people seek Perth rehab facilities to assist with. It can cause psychosis, not to mention a raft of problems within someone’s life.

But whether you’re a seasoned smoker or not, there may be a time when you consume too much weed. But how do you know if you’ve had too much? Find out below.

Can You Overdose on Cannabis?

One of the most commonly asked questions relating to cannabis use is whether or not you can overdose on it. Nearly anything you can consume can be toxic if you have too much of it, and cannabis is no exception.

For example, you can consume a lethal dose of sugar, but an everyday amount of sugar would not be toxic. The median lethal dose (LD) for sugar consumption is based on body weight. A 90kg man would need to consume 2.7 kilograms of sugar at once for it to be a toxic substance.

Author David Schmader, in his book Weed: The User’s Guide, pointed out that you would need to consume 750 kilograms of cannabis in a quarter-hour period for it to be toxic.

Whether you’ve been thinking about visiting a drug rehab facility or you’re concerned for your health or someone else’s, it’s worth having as much information as possible. The more you know about alcoholism and alcohol withdrawal, the better position you’re in to make an informed decision.

In the throes of alcoholism, it can be quite tricky to know if you’re suffering from alcohol withdrawals. However, there are plenty of signs, and understanding whether or not they affect you can make a world of difference to which step you take next.

What is Alcohol Withdrawal?

If you drink any alcoholic beverage heavily for weeks, months, or years at a time, your central nervous system adjusts to having it in your body. So, when you stop suddenly or cut back, you can experience both physical and mental problems as a result. These can be at the mild or severe end of the scale, depending on the extent of your problem.

However, if you only drink sporadically, you are unlikely to suffer any withdrawal effects. Your central nervous system isn’t used to having it there, so there are rarely side effects once it’s out of your system.

What Causes Alcohol Withdrawal?

As mentioned above, your central nervous system adjusts to having alcohol in your body. Liquor has a depressive effect, where it changes how your nerves send messages and slows down brain function.

With alcohol in your system, your body is working overtime to keep your brain awake and your nerves communicating. When the alcohol content in your body suddenly changes, the way your body has been operating doesn’t. As a result, you can experience withdrawal symptoms.

Some people might think that the only benefit of seeing a dentist is that you get to have that niggle, ache, or pain taken care of. While that’s the role of a general dentist, among many others, a cosmetic dentist has an entirely different part to play in your oral health and care. They can help with the things you can’t see, as well.

Below, we cover some of the more surprising benefits of cosmetic dental procedures. You’ll surely see the value in making an appointment with your dentist, sooner rather than later.

You Can Gain Confidence in Your Appearance

How often do you find yourself not smiling in photos, in public, and when you meet new people? You might be afraid that people will judge you based on your teeth, rather than your character. That’s why visiting a cosmetic dentist can be so important. If your teeth are affecting your confidence, then the solution may lie in cosmetic dental services.

For example, you might be feeling shy because your teeth are yellow. In-chair teeth whitening treatment, and even custom take-home kits, can see them several shades whiter in no time.

You Can Change the Shape and Overall Appearance of Your Teeth

Did you know that if you don’t like the shape of your teeth, or how they look, there are services available to make a difference? For example, those who are not happy with gaps, chips, and cracks can ask their cosmetic dentist about dental veneers, and whether they can make a difference.

If crooked teeth have been a problem for you, then braces or Invisalign may also be a suitable option. An imperfection in your smile may be easier fixed than you thought.

In life, one should never forget to take time out – and just relax. Even though many people travel to Bali for the nightlife or the surfing, this only touches the tip of what this lovely country has to offer. If you are feeling exhausted or just in need of some TLC, a retreat might be just the thing for you. And be sure to get one of the villas available so you have the room to spread out in a quiet house, rather than being crammed into one hotel room. That is also a great way to relax and enjoy your holiday.

There are many different kinds of retreats in Bali, from spa and massage treatment through to Yoga, acupuncture and Ayurvedic treatments. You can book in for a few hours, a few days or a week if you have the time and inclination. Some retreats offer plant based cuisine and other regimes to make you healthier. Here are just a few of the retreats that Bali offers.

• Active Escapes for the person who would get bored with just sunning themselves on a chaise after their massage. Here you can go horse riding, shopping, swimming or take a cooking class, as well as the usual things such as spas and massage. The best thing? You control your participation level at all times.
• The Chill House is similar, but includes Yoga, cycling and surfing as well as an amazingly healthy eating plan with organic meals. Body and soul treatments are offered as well.
• Desa Seni in Canggu is strictly for Yoga fans. They hold 6 Yoga classes a day for all levels and types of Yoga. You can even train as a teacher. Vegetarian foods are offered by the cafe.

Dental implant experts like Joondalup City Dental have been doing dental implants to replace missing teeth for many years. Implants however, are initially very expensive, which is why people generally had not heard of them very much back in those days. They offer an alternative to dentures, which have certain drawbacks such as discomfort or a loose fit, for some people.

There are four different types of implants and what you get depends on your jaw bone structure and other things such as whether it is molars or other teeth that are being replaced.  It may also depend on your general health and whether the first implant was successfully integrated with the bone.

Here are the four different types:

It is sad but true that as a person ages their skin starts to look rather like an old and wrinkled apple. It might have spots and blemishes, or it may just be covered in wrinkles – or worse still it is more likely to have a combination of both. If you are concerned with the shape your skin is in, it could be time to do something about it, like having IPL Skin Rejuvenation.

Collagen is a natural product that keeps your skin looking smooth and youthful. As you age, the amount of collagen under the outer layer of skin tends to reduce and your skin develops the texture of crepe, or it wrinkles badly, especially on the back on the hands. You don’t have to suffer in silence.

It is possible to stimulate the skin to produce more collagen so that your skin once again looks more youthful. IPL treatment can get rid of sunspots, age spots, broken capillaries and the many other blemishes that seem to show up as you age. It also provides the necessary stimulation needed for more collagen production.
