Cannabis high is usually related to giving users “the munchies”. Subsequently, the
foods that are generally associated with Cannabis use are pizzas, sandwiches, chips, and other more junk-food related meals.
However, if you are looking for a better Cannabis high, you are going to want to focus on the other end of the health spectrum. Science (and experience) has found that a Cannabis high is greatly improved by healthier choices. Here are a few healthy food and drinks to help boost a Cannabis high.
Mangoes
Mangoes are a delicious fruit, which offer a plethora of benefits to people. For those who consume Cannabis, mangoes contain a specific terpene that is referred to as myrcene. This specific organic compound helps cannabinoids penetrate the brain blood barrier easier. The result is a quicker and extended quality of the Cannabis high.
Broccoli
Broccoli is often a vegetable that is underrated. This is especially true when it comes to the pain-relieving reputation that broccoli has, when it is engaged by
Cannabis. Broccoli
contains terpene beta-caryophyllene which binds to the CB2 receptors in the body, much like cannabinoids do. Therefore, when the two greens are put together, they work together to help alleviate inflammation, depression and pain.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are appropriately named, not only for their taste, but also for the effect they have on a person’s mood. These orange delights are bursting with positive vitamins and minerals for the body, which include carbohydrates, vitamin b and vitamin e, which all work to improve mood in the body. These work together to improve a person’s mood overall. Furthermore, sweet potatoes also work to increase the euphoria of a Cannabis high.
Nuts
Omega 3 is an extremely healthy oil that is found in nuts. However, it is the healthy fats in nuts that help enhance a Cannabis high, especially when that high is coming from edibles. Plus, these same fats are known to elongate a high, once it helps the cannabinoids get through the brain blood barrier.
Common Herbs and Spices
Common household spices such as thyme, bay, and sage contain another terpene; this one is referred to as pinene. It is known to open the passages in the lungs. This makes it easier for the body to absorb the cannabinoids. This ease also creates a quicker and longer Cannabis high. Additionally, another terpene found in lemongrass, lemon thyme, and lemon basil can decrease the negative aspects of some Cannabis strains, such as anxiety and depression.
Black and Green Tea
It is common knowledge that black and green tea is good for you. Both types of tea contain a compound called catechin, which attaches itself to the CB1 receptors in the brain. Catechin results in a feeling of relaxation when taken alone. Yet, when it is fortified with Cannabis, it increases the euphoria and helps reduce the feeling of stress. To close, there are many different consumable goods that help aid the effects of
Cannabis. It is interesting, that the best foods and drinks to help boost a Cannabis high are also healthy foods that should be consumed on a regular basis regardless of Cannabis use.
