CBD can help with a variety of ailments and pains, but what about

muscle pain

? There are several ways to relax your muscles and help them to recover. You can give your muscles rest and you can use special compression tape or take an ice bath. But more athletes use CBD, why is that?

Recovering muscles is part of sports. If you have made an effort, then comes the time for relaxation. And it doesn't matter if you are an amateur athlete or a top athlete. Your muscles will have to recover. A good recovery prevents injuries and it ensures that you can train again afterward. Muscle pain can be very severe, some people suffer more from it than others. It is wise to handle it in the best possible way, and CBD can play a role in this.

Muscle strain

Suppose you do bodybuilding, you want the muscle mass to increase. This is called hypertrophy. Muscles must work with a certain intensity to increase muscle mass and that causes small cracks in the muscles. Training actually causes damage to your muscles, and that ensures that your body has to take action. Your body makes the muscles stronger in order to prevent more damage. The increase in muscle mass is therefore actually a reaction of the body to prevent from more damage.

Muscle pain after exercise is caused by muscle damage. The body repairs itself in response to this. The body is adjusted to this, but the physical pain can be very annoying and can mess up and delay your training schedule. Compression and ice can cause the blood supply to temporarily decrease. This will reduce the feeling of cramping and pain. Molecules that cause the inflammation cannot reach that place well either, so this speeds up the period the body needs for recovery and healing.

CBD

For many people with muscle pain, the use of CBD is a good solution. CBD can be consumed in many different ways. The cannabis industry keeps coming up with innovative ways to consume CBD. Smoking or vaping is one of the options, but athletes prefer not to choose this because it can be harmful to the lungs. In addition to smoking or vaping, you can also take CBD through tinctures, capsules or oil. Through all these methods, the CBD enters your bloodstream quickly, so that muscle pain diminishes quickly. It is also possible to apply a lotion or cream that is enriched with CBD directly on the muscles. A massage with CBD oil provides deep relaxation. CBD is also added to a huge number of other products, such as juices, coffee, salads, and smoothies. So there is always a way that you like.

High CBD strains

With the increasing popularity of CBD, the popularity of CBD strains is also increasing. There are cannabis buds for sale where the ratio of CBD and THC is 1: 1 or 2: 1. But there are also strains with a very high CBD percentage and a very low THC value.

In my previous post I outlined why I believe freight is slowing.  Certain signals in the marketplace are telling us employment adds are decreasing, inventories are increasing and the PMI is decreasing.  All of these are signs of a slowing economy.  (For the record, I do not believe by any stretch the economy will contract - it is just we should not get used to GDP growth rates of 3% into the future).  This slowing has resulted in less loads per truck and prices going down.

So, how can the stock market be hitting an all time high?  I believe it is due to 3 reasons (Warning, I know a lot more about freight than I do about investing but here goes):

1. The alternative investment (10yr as a proxy)
2. % of the economy which has nothing to do with goods
3. The Fed.

This chart compares the Dow Jones Transportation Index to the DJ30 and the S&P500.  This is a one year return graph and ends on June 21.  As of June 21, the DJ30 is up 6.66%, the SPX is up 7.1% and yet the DJT is DOWN 3.91% Bottom line is investors are shunning transports yet still embracing the overall economy.  Why?

The Alternative Investment:

Investors are going to invest.  That is what they do and they have two macro alternatives.  First, they can invest in the "risk" markets (i.e., stocks) or they can invest in what is generally considered the "risk free" or "near risk free" investment.  I will use the 10yr as a proxy for this second grouping.  What we have seen recently is not only a 10 year treasury at multi year lows but we are also hearing the Fed discussing lowering the rates even further.  This will drive investment dollars away from the "risk free" and into the markets. 

It is no coincidence towards the end of last year when the Fed was not only raising rates but also calling for 3 rate hikes in 2019 the stock market tanked.  Investors were deciding to move away from risk assets as the risk free was looking pretty good.  Not so much any more as the 10yr is now bouncing around the 2% level.

The graph to the left is the graph of the 10 year treasury rates as of Friday, June 21.  This movement of rates down has caused money to flow back into the risk asset markets and specifically look at the major move down since mid May.  This is when the Fed made it pretty clear the only action they likely will take is a move down in rates. 





% of The Economy Which Does Not Have Anything to Do with Shippable Goods:

This one is a bit nuanced.  Let's just look at 30 years ago and think about what it meant for the economy to be growing at 3%.  It was intuitive that the growth had to have much to do with autos, real hard electronics, housing etc. etc.  These are all very "hard" goods which drove the economy. 

Today, when we the economy grows at 3% more of it has to do with finance, services and the infamous FANG stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google - Alphabet).  Only one of these, Amazon, ships anything.  The rest make their money in the "virtual" world.  Very important to the economy but not so important to trucking.  The graph below illustrates this:

Non Shipment Economy

The inverse of this graph is to ask how much of GDP is due to MFG:

1. Economy is slowing
2. Investors have to invest in the market to get any kind of return due to the "risk free" paying so low.
3. Investors are shunning the transports
4. This drives the market to records
5. Less and less of the GDP has to do with "shippable goods"
