Finding The Best Strain of Weed
Introduction
Finding the best weed strain can be
overwhelming for the uninitiated. There are many strains, and they all have
different effects on you.
Remember that even if two strains have
similar effects, they might differ significantly in terms of taste and smell.
It's important for every stoner out there to
find their comfort zone when it comes to smoking weed because not everyone
likes the same things.
If you're looking for some help finding your
perfect bud, this guide will give you tips on how to do just that.
The best way to know the
effects of any weed strain is to consume it.
The first thing you want to do when deciding
on the best strain is decided what kind of high you want.
If you're looking for relaxation, try an
Indica strain; if energy is your goal, then go with a Sativa strand; and if
pain relief is what's up next on your agenda, then consider a hybrid or
CBD-rich variety (these strains have more cannabidiol in them than THC).
Consumption methods can enhance
the effects a particular strain of weed produces.
The consumption method you choose can
greatly impact how you feel when you consume weed. This is because how you
consume your cannabis often differs from how it's prepared, affecting the
compounds and terpenes in every strain.
For example, smoking a joint or bowl
produces more carbon monoxide than vaping, leading to increased coughing, red
eyes and general discomfort, and reduced lung capacity over time.
If these sound like things you want to avoid
while consuming marijuana-based products, vaping might be a better option for
you.
Vaping also allows users to control their
dosage levels much more accurately than smoking does; if something small goes
wrong with one puff of smoke (like inhaling too much), it could make your
efforts go up in smoke before they even begin.
With vaping technology improving, devices
now allow users to adjust heat strength. Hence, they get exactly what they want
without having too many leftovers or ensuring everyone gets just enough without
wasting precious product at any given time."
Search for terpene profiles
and profiles of weed strains
If you want a different kind of high, look
for terpene profiles. Terpenes are the compounds that give cannabis its smell
and flavor. They're also responsible for the effects of cannabis.
For example:
If you want to feel energetic, look for
strains with limonene in their terpene profile. Limonene is an
anti-inflammatory that may help with pain relief and depression. It can also
help reduce anxiety and prepare you to go on the town.
If relaxing with friends or watching a movie
sounds good, look for strains rich in myrcene (often described as
"musky").
Myrcene is sedating and has been shown to
improve sleep quality by increasing REM sleep (when dreams occur).
THC to CBD ratios can be used
as a guide for finding strains.
When choosing a strain, the most important
thing to remember is that while THC is the psychoactive component of cannabis,
CBD is not. This means it doesn't give you that heady high you're used to with
THC-rich strains.
There are several forms in which CBD can be
beneficial when consumed along with a high-THC strain:
? CBD
can be used to treat medical conditions like seizures and anxiety. Because it's
non-psychoactive and won't get you buzzed or stoned in any way, it's perfect
for anyone looking for an alternative treatment option without losing out on
their usual vice.
? CBD
has been shown to counteract some of the negative effects of THC (like
paranoia). It even reduces pain from inflammation more effectively than opioids
do.
Conclusion
Whether you're an experienced smoker or just
starting with weed, it's important to know what kind of effects are produced by
different strains of cannabis.
This can help you find the right strain for
any situation and avoid unwanted side effects such as paranoia or anxiety.
It's also helpful to research which methods
work best with particular strains so that they can be enjoyed to their full
potential.
