Intro to Cannabis: Elevating Your Cannabis High
When consuming cannabis, there are ways that you can achieve a more intense, elevated high. Today, in our Intro to Cannabis blog series, we will be looking into some different ways that you can elevate your high and have a great time!
Before we get started, let’s take a moment to remember that if you’re new to the consumption of cannabis, take it slow. Take time to get comfortable with cannabis and the way it makes you feel, that way you can get the most enjoyment from it and understand what may or may not be too intense for you.
Choosing the Right Strain
The first way to elevate your high is to choose the right strain with the right intensity. What’s the easiest way to do this? Visit a retailer that carries luxury cannabis flower (bonus points if it’s the amazing flower we cultivate here at Genesis)! Investing in quality cannabis that has been cultivated with care is a surefire way to ensure that you’re going to be consuming a product that’s been intentionally cultivated to produce an incredible high.
Beyond that, another way to choose a strain in a way that will procure a more intense high is to acquire cannabis that has a higher THC or CBD percentage depending on your preference. This is pretty self-explanatory, as a higher THC or CBD contents will effectively produce a more intense high in THC’s and CBD’s respective areas.
Experimenting With Consumption Methods
Another effective way to achieve a more intense high from cannabis is to try out some different consumption methods. The first thought behind this is, if you’re strictly a cannabis flower smoker, it’s worth your while to try some different mediums and see if there is a preferable difference in intensity.
Going even further, if you’re used to smoking cannabis flower exclusively, sampling cannabis concentrates, hash, or even kief will most definitely procure a more intense high. This is because in their base forms, concentrates, hash, and kief have higher percentages of THC than cannabis flower.
Properly Store Your Cannabis
When you’re holding onto cannabis for an extended period of time, it’s important that you store it in the optimal conditions. When you store cannabis in plastic bags or jars, the THC will deteriorate over time.
In order to properly store your cannabis, you can utilize a few methods. First, glass or metal jars/containers are a great option. These materials will keep your cannabis from drying out and losing potency much longer than plastic.
Another option is to invest in humidity-controlled storage containers. While this sounds extremely high-tech, humidity-controlled containers are easily accessible at most local head shops, and you can also invest in humidity packets that you simply add to your jar of cannabis.
PRO TIP: If you’re not trying to invest in humidity-controlled storage, try adding a citrus peel to your cannabis stash. After about 3 hours, take it out and enjoy your fresh, potent bud!
Curate Your High With Intensity-Increasing Foods
Interestingly enough, there are foods that you can consume with your cannabis to increase the intensity of your high.
Specifically, you should be on the lookout for foods that contain the antioxidant catechin (found in black and green tea), Omega-3 Fatty Acids (walnuts, chia seeds, fish), or terpenes like pinene (pine nuts, sage) and myrcene (mangos, sweet potatoes, nuts, broccoli).
These specific variables help your body more effectively process and enact the effects of cannabinoids found in cannabis, thus intensifying your high.
Take A T-Break
Now, this isn’t a tip for cannabis lovers who are new to the game, it’s for you veterans out there. A T-Break, or Tolerance Break is very simply an extended break from the consumption of cannabis.
This intensifies your high (after you finish your t-break, of course) because you’re allowing your body to clear some, if not all, of the cannabinoids that have built up if your system. So essentially, this means that after you finish your t-break, the next time you consume cannabis, your body will be more receptive to the new cannabinoids in your system, procuring a more intense high.
T-breaks can hold a variety of forms, depending on the consumer. Some people may need to take a month-long t-break (heavy cannabis users), where others may notice the same effects after a week-long t-break (light cannabis users).
Additionally, you may even notice a difference in intensity if you change your habits. For instance, if you smoke every day from the moment you get home from work until you go to bed, try smoking once later in the evening instead! Every person is different, so it’s going to come down to personal trial and error to figure out the optimal t-break length for you.
