Popeye’s Spinach
When Popeye was created in 1929 by cartoonist Elzie Segar, spinach was slang for cannabis.

Everyone knows the cartoon hero Popeye, who always lands in difficulties and just as he threatens to lose from the bearded sea-dog Bluto, eats a tin of spinach. He then becomes super strong and defeats every opponent. But do Popeye and Olive really obtain the green stuff at the greengrocers?

Slang for cannabis

When Popeye was created in 1929 by the American cartoonist Elzie Segar (1894-1938), spinach was slang for cannabis. It can be heard, for example, in that sentence in the number “The Spinach Song (I Didn’t Like It The First Time)” by the jazz band Julia Lee and Her Boyfriends, who also had a hit with “Lotus Blossom (Sweet Marijuana)”. They performed in jazz clubs in Kansas City where a cloud of w**d smoke hung every evening and used spinach as a metaphor for ma*****na. It makes you think about the spinach eating sailor Popeye, especially as he used to eat his greens through his pipe. Which is rather strange for spinach that comes out of a tin.

Anti-cannabis lobbyists in the 1930s stated that cannabis made you immune to bullets and gave you other supernatural powers just like Popeye used to sing “I’m strong to the finish ‘cause I eat me spinach”. As a sailor, Popeye was of course, familiar with exotic herbs and plants. American sailors were the first to smoke cannabis in the United States. There is another cannabis reference with regard to Popeye: in the 1960s, Popeye’s dog was called Birdseed and in those days h**p seed was used as birdseed.

Increased Energy and Athletic Performance: Cordyceps is perhaps most famous for its ability to improve the body’s use of oxygen, especially during exercise. It’s believed to increase the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for delivering energy to muscles. This can lead to improved endurance, reduced fatigue, and better athletic performance.

Anti-Aging and Antioxidant Properties: Cordyceps contains a rich variety of antioxidants that help combat cellular damage from free radicals. By reducing oxidative stress, it may help slow down the signs of aging and protect the body from a range of age-related conditions. Some studies suggest it can enhance memory and sexual function in older adults.

Immune System Modulation: Similar to other medicinal mushrooms, Cordyceps can help regulate and support the immune system. It’s thought to stimulate certain immune cells and may have anti-inflammatory effects. This makes it useful for general immune support and could potentially help the body fight off illnesses and infections.

Immune System Support: This is arguably the most well-known benefit of Reishi. It contains complex sugars called beta-glucans, which are believed to enhance the activity of various immune cells, such as natural killer cells and T-cells. While it won't "boost" an already healthy immune system to superhuman levels, it is thought to help modulate and balance it, making it more effective at fighting off infections.

Stress Reduction and Sleep Support: Reishi is classified as an adaptogen, which means it helps the body cope with stress. Compounds in Reishi, particularly triterpenes, are thought to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Many people use Reishi to help with anxiety and promote a sense of tranquility, which can in turn support more restful and quality sleep. It is not a sedative, but rather helps the body relax and transition into a state of rest more naturally.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties: Reishi is rich in antioxidants that help protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals. This can contribute to overall health and may help reduce chronic inflammation, which is a key factor in many diseases. The anti-inflammatory effects are also linked to its potential to support cardiovascular health and reduce fatigue.
