Top 5 Variables on Getting a Good High

We all want to get high once in a while. Depending on a variety of factors, the high you experience will differ from each time you light up. While the science behind how you feel after consuming cannabis involves complex interactions between your DNA and the plant, there are a few more-certain factors that can help your expectations before hitting the blunt.
Whether you plan on hanging out with friends later on in the day or hang out in front of the TV, here are a few factors that can influence your cannabis high.

Cannabinoid Profile:

The profile of the strain you’re smoking is one of the best ways to interpret how high you’re going to get. It’s usually a good idea to try out multiple cannabis strains before settling on a select few, as each strain will have a different effect on you. As a general rule, Sativa’s stimulates your brain, while Indica’s chill out your mood. Hybrids offers a bit of both.
Other than the actual strain itself, look for THC to CBD percentages in your strain of choice. Strains such as Charlotte’s Web has a very low THC levels, which will result in you feeling more pleasant than “high.” On the other hand, strains like Girl Scout Cookies boast impressive THC levels and will get you baked much easier than lower THC strains.

Your Age

People who have used cannabis from a young age will find much higher tolerance levels than those who are just starting out. Part of this is from the built-up tolerance, while another half of it can be attributed to our bodies. As we age, our bodies change and the reactions from cannabis may be far different than you remember from youth.

Method of Consumption

Arguably the most impactful element in determining how high you’ll get is in the method of consumption. You’ll find the biggest difference between 3 types of consumption methods: smoking a joint, eating edibles, or dabbing shatter. For starters, edibles take longer to take effect in the body but produces a much stronger and longer lasting high than any of its contemporaries. The effects of shatter and hash is also very different from a normal joint as the effect is much stronger.

Your Dosage

When you’re trying something new, always start small before topping yourself up when you’re sure that the portion wasn’t enough. If you’re new to edibles, start with a 5-10mg THC piece and move up from there. Joints are easier to control as you’ll likely be sharing it with a group of friends when starting out. Just make sure to not go ham on the portions when rolling it.

Your Physical Location

It’s all in the head. The physical setting you’re in can influence your chances of getting a good high. If you’re just starting out, there’s no better location than in a comfortable living room with the accompany of a group of good friends.

With all this in mind, there’s no better time than now to light up and enjoy the high! If you have any questions about cannabis or the products we carry, feel free to send us a message. We’re always happy to help.
