Cannabis induces a feeling of euphoria and relaxation that can help you unwind and feel content. It also has a variety of health benefits. A cannabis high typically lasts between 2 to 10 hours. This depends on a variety of factors. If you are a regular cannabis consumer, your cannabis tolerance is naturally higher. If you consume it regularly, you may not feel that instant hit that comes when you first start smoking cannabis.
However, did you know that there are ways you can make the most of your smoking sessions? These can help you enhance your cannabis high and retain it for longer too!
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your cannabis products.
Tips To Enhance Your Cannabis High
-
Drinking Tea
You can have tea before your smoking session. Tea contains catechin, which is an antioxidant that can help bind the CB1 receptors in your brain. This creates a very soothing effect, allowing the high to hit differently.
-
Exercising
Exercising before your smoking sessions allows THC levels in the blood to rise. This induces a very calming effect. Besides, what is better than rolling a joint and relaxing after a heavy workout? Those who work out regularly know that this just hits different.
Exercising and cannabis also go hand in hand pretty well. This means that not only does exercise help enhance your cannabis high, but it also allows users to exercise more and recover faster as well.
-
Eating Healthy
To enhance your high, you must eat well. Here are a few foods that you can eat to achieve this:
- Mangoes
Mangoes are known to be a great option to enhance your high. They contain terpene, which also gives them their fresh fragrance. Mangoes also trigger THC when you smoke.
Experts suggest that if you want to enhance your high by consuming mango, then you must consume it at least an hour before you plan to smoke. This can give the best results.
- Dark Chocolate
Another edible item with similar effects is dark chocolate. It has a lot of antioxidants, which are known to increase the effects of marijuana. In addition, chocolate contains a neurotransmitter and endocannabinoid known as anandamide. This works with the cannabinoids in the body, allowing you to get more out of your cannabis high.
- Broccoli
Broccoli also has terpene, which works well in the body to create calming effects. It also helps reduce pain and inflammation in the body.
- Nuts
Nuts are known to be high in omega-3 fatty acids. They help bind cannabinoids in the body much faster, allowing your high to last longer.
Other foods that can help enhance your cannabis high include eggs, walnuts, and sweet potatoes. Most of these have to be consumed well before you smoke.
-
Consuming Beer
Beer can also help with your marijuana high. However, you should consume alcohol with caution, especially when you’re consuming it with cannabis. The two can have great euphoric effects together when consumed together in small portions. The effect is very similar to consuming mangoes before you smoke. These days, cannabis-infused drinks are also becoming more and more popular for the same reason.
-
Using a Grinder
You can use a grinder to help you get the most out of your favorite cannabis strain. This is because weed that is well-grounded can burn more evenly. When you use a grinder, you will also get kief; this is a highly concentrated form of THC. You can sprinkle it on top for that extra kick you are looking for.
-
Making Use of New Consumption Methods
Humans are conditioned to be creatures of habit. Once we get used to doing things a certain way, we keep at it without realizing there may be newer ways to do something. The same applies to smoking cannabis.
If you have a particular smoking routine, try to switch up the consumption method for the best effects. For example, if you usually smoke at one place, try switching to another. This will help you create an entirely different experience for yourself when you are smoking.
You can also switch from smoking cannabis to taking edibles and pills and using tinctures instead. Once again, trying out something new might do the trick.
-
Storing It Well
You must keep cannabis away from sunlight and moisture to preserve its quality. Alongside that, it is also essential to store it in a glass or steel jar. Storing in a plastic container rids the cannabis of its trichomes, without which you won’t be able to get the high you want.
You can also get removable humidity packs. These are readily available and are known to be the best for storing cannabis. If you don't have these and want another simpler option, you can leave a peel of orange or lemon with your cannabis. This will allow the cannabis to remain as fresh as possible. It won’t dry up either and will also become less potent. Experts recommend that you store marijuana in a very cool and dark place to preserve it in the best way possible.
-
Taking a Short Break
Lastly, if you have tried all of these methods and nothing seems to be working, then it's probably time to take a short break from smoking cannabis. It’s likely that your body has become used to the effects of marijuana, which is why you can’t get the high you’re looking for.
Be more careful about your consumption, and take as long a break as possible. A month or two can be helpful here. Remember, the longer the break, the harder the hit when you consume cannabis next. If a break seems hard, you can get support for it – you can either get professional help or ask your trusted friends to get you through any withdrawal symptoms you feel.
Hopefully, one of the above methods will work in your favor and help you enhance your high to make each smoking session count. Good luck!
