The Safe Use of Cannabis
We believe in the responsible use of cannabis as a healthy alternative for a progressively growing list of conditions, or as a simple relaxation technique. In a world where a cannabis purchase often prompts an awkward conversation, we aim to provide a relaxed, trusted, and hassle-free environment for you to obtain and learn about cannabis and cannabis products.
Our team of specialists are trained and ready to serve. There when you need them, and equally as important, not when you don’t. We make the cannabis purchasing process safe and easy, so that you spend less time being awkward with us, and more time doing the things you love. Whether that’s time spent on Zoom trivia, walks on the beach, road trips, peaceful rallies, or quiet moments at home.
Health Circle let’s you do you.

Cannabis Tolerance, Dependence & Withdrawal
A physical dependence on cannabis has yet to be proven by researchers, however, a psychological dependence may be possible in those that regularly consume cannabis. In some cases, individuals may experience signs of cannabis dependence which can be displayed in cravings for cannabis, higher tolerance levels and disruptions both personally or professionally. Some withdrawal symptoms of cannabis can be displayed through irritability, anxiety, decreased appetite and mood changes. These symptoms can vary person to person but are very rarely harmful.
