We all smoke for different reasons but there’s one thing it does to all of us
We all use it for different reasons. Some of us just want to use it socially with family and friends just to have a good time. Others suffer from ptsd, depression and anxiety symptoms and just want to feel normal for a day. Some have gastrointestinal issues and just want to not be constantly having stomach aches and want to be able to consume foods that would be sensitive to their stomach like anything acidic or anything that has dairy in it. Others just want relief from neck and back pain so they can go about their lives and not feel in pain and it may help them do a lot of activities involving lifting which pain makes it’s difficult to do. But why is it used for so many different things and why does everyone who consumes cannabis whether they smoke it or eat CBD/THC gummies feel differently than they did prior to consumption? Well one thing that it has in common with everyone is that it alters perception it interacts with receptors and neurotransmitters in the brain so whether for better or for worse it distorts them that’s why everyone who smokes or consumes cannabis feels slightly distorted. What I feel it does is that by reacting with receptors and neurotransmitters in the brain it turns certain lights in the head that wouldn’t go on on and block certain receptors specifically ones that deal with pain. Of course different strains are used for different reasons where indica dominant strains tend to promote relaxation whereas sativa dominant strains tend to create more energetic like feelings. Hybrids give the best of both worlds most lean either heavily towards indica or heavily towards sativa but some are more adequately balanced in indica and sativa levels.
Someone who’s very impulsive and over adventurous may end up engaging in reckless behaviors that otherwise wouldn’t have happened had they not smoken or consumed cannabis. One who uses it for depression anxiety and ptsd may feel a very blissful sensation where instead of having all those angry, anxious and intrusive thoughts they have happy thoughts and it becomes easier to put all those bad thoughts aside. Those who have neck back and shoulder pain get relief from pain and if pain is what prevented them from doing any kind of physical activity now they can enjoy that physical activity.
Not long ago I started smoking Gelato 41 strain and I must say it’s the best strain I’ve ever smoked. Girl Scout Cookies is also a great strain so is Jokerz Wild but the latter is my least favorite of the 3. While all 3 of them are hybrids I find that Jokerz Wild is a little too indica dominant(it’s 70 indica 30 Sativa) so while it does give me some energy I find that it makes me a little too mellow. Calm and happy is how I want to feel but Jokerz Wild I find isn’t a great strain for going about your everyday life and job and family it’s more of something that I would only smoke if I was having trouble sleeping and might be the best for if I was having insomnia and wanted to go to bed and be out like a light. Girl Scout Cookies is a little more balanced. Great strain and it seems to have a lot of the best of both worlds(55 indica 45 sativa I believe). I find Gelato 41 to be my favorite strain so far because I find that like GSC it gives the best of both worlds but because I think it’s slightly more Sativa leaning(55 Sativa 45 indica if I remember correctly) so that’s good in the sense that I can go about my day with work and everyday life and be able to get things done but also feel calm and collect at the same time. I find that I can do everything safely with Gelato 41 I feel safe driving not long after smoking unlike GSC where I feel it would be safe to wait 2-3 hours and Jokerz Wild where I would wait at least 4 hours before driving. Gelato 41 helps me stay focused throughout my day while still feeling calm and collect. I smoke for reasons related to anxiety and ptsd but I also feel like it relieves stomach issues and helps with my neck and back pain so it’s the perfect thing for me. I do it recreationally but for medical purposes like the ones I just mentioned. Just wanted to share some of my experiences with cannabis
