With cannabis is proven a safe, effective treatment for various illnesses, more patients are now opting for it over medicines. In fact, they are interested in learning about the anatomy of the plant, how it works, and how to use it right. Research says that the plant’s therapeutic potential is due to the presence of chemical compounds, called cannabinoids. The cannabinoids mimic certain neurotransmitters produced by the body.

Marijuana’s high depends on a range of factors, which should be carefully monitored. Read on to learn more about the topic.

Research says that the herb can be used as an alternative treatment for chronic pain, anxiety

When

cannabis,

the

cannabinoids

bind

to

receptors

in

the

endocannabinoid system. This helps in regulating sleep, mood, memory, metabolism, etc. Medical studies have found that THC has a similar chemical structure as anandamide—a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating behavior, motivation, and pleasure.

What Influences Cannabis High?

1.Dosage

How much cannabis you consume influences the high. Additionally, it affects how long the high lasts. So, to get the right medicinal effects, you need to take the right amount of cannabis. If you take low doses, you will not be able to hit the sweet spot. On the other hand, taking high doses can lead to severe side-effects. Cannabis overdose can cause confusion, anxiety, paranoia, and increased heart rate. So, make sure you dose marijuana optimally.

How to know the right dose for your condition? A simple formula is to start with a low dose and note the effects. Now, increase the dose step-by-step and see the effects. You can also create a journal noting down these details. This way, you can determine how much cannabis you should consume for anxiety relief, pain relief, boosting sleep, etc.

2.Delivery Method

Another important factor influencing high is how you deliver cannabis into the body. Smoking and vaping are the two most popular marijuana delivery methods, which involve

heating

the

substance

and

inhaling

cannabinoids.

They

provide

instant

medicinal effects.

But, when you eat marijuana, you have to wait for some time to feel the therapeutic effects of cannabis. Usually, the onset time of edibles is 30-90 minutes depending on the potency of the product consumed. The reason for that is—edibles are processed through the digestive system before reaching the bloodstream.

However, edibles containing high-levels of THC kick in faster. Additionally, edibles last longer than smoking or vaping. Thus, they are often preferred by patients with sleep problems or anxiety.

3.Levels of Cannabinoids

Different cannabis compounds deliver different effects on the body and mind. For instance, THC offers strong euphoric effects while CBD helps in relaxing the mind. Combining THC and CBD can help you with an entourage effect. So, based on your condition, you can select marijuana strains with optimal levels of cannabinoids.

It’s important to learn how each cannabinoid affects your system. For this, you require some experimenting. After you know what works for you the best, you can find strains with the right ratio of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids.

4.Terpenes

Terpenes are chemical compounds present in marijuana. They are responsible for the aroma and taste of cannabis and can directly impact the medicinal potential of the herb. The major factors influencing the development of terpenes are—climate, soil type, fertilizers used, etc.

There

are

more

than

100

terpenes,

each

having

a

aroma

and

medicinal

properties. For instance, limonene has a citrus aroma and is perfect for stress relief and mood boost. According to a 2013 study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, limonene demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antidepressant properties on rodent models.

So, along with checking the cannabinoid profile, you should check terpene levels when buying cannabis products from the dispensary.

5.Tolerance

It may vary from one consumer to another. For instance, if your friend gets pain relief after smoking a joint, you may smoke less or more to receive the same effects. This is because your friend & you have different tolerance levels.

What affects tolerance? There are many factors. The common ones are—how often do you

smoke

cannabis,

since

when

have

you

been

smoking,

your

age,

and

body

chemistry. A 2007 study was focused on evaluating the association between age and marijuana’s effects. Researchers concluded that adolescent rats were able to tolerate cannabis much better than their adult counterparts. Additionally, adult participants showed some signs of anxiety and stress.

So, it’s necessary to evaluate how much or how little to consume, especially when you are smoking cannabis with your friends with different tolerances.

6.Environment

Where do you consume cannabis matters. Smoking the same strain at two different places will provide you different experiences. Additionally, your mood before using marijuana affects high. You are less likely to enjoy the smoking session if you are anxious about the kind of effects you are going to experience.

So, next time, when you have amazing cannabis experience, note down everything from the environment to your mood along with the cannabinoid profile, dosage, and consumption method.

As per the Farm Bill of 2018, hemp-derived CBD products are legal across the United States. However, hemp should contain no more than 0.3 percent THC and must be grown by licensed growers. CBD products containing more than 0.3 percent THC will be considered as marijuana. And, you require a medical marijuana card to use them legally.
