Weed is becoming much more socially acceptable. A lot of people feel more comfortable smoking during the day. As long as you’re responsible, there’s no reason you can’t enjoy weed at whatever hour you want.
There are a few things that you should know first. Some cannabis strains are much higher than others. High THC strains are usually not daytime strains.
However, there are a few that are well-suited to daytime consumption. Here are the pros and cons of using these strains.
Pro: Energy
Some high THC strains can be energy boosting.
Most are not. You need to check and make sure you know what you’re using.
Indica dominant strains tend to not be best for the daytime. Indica is naturally quite high in THC. It tends to have a relaxing effect.
Satia strains usually have less THC and are very energizing. Some hybrids are high in THC but sativa dominant. These are better for the day.
Try an energizing strain if you haven’t before. You’ll be surprised how awake you feel. You won’t want to head to bed.
The energy boost is one of the biggest pros of daytime strains.
Con: High
You shouldn’t get high if you have stuff to do.
Many of the best marijuana strains are known for their ability to get you high quickly. These are great strains, but they should be avoided during the day.
You should never use cannabis before driving or doing anything that could be dangerous. It’s important to know your limits.
Consuming cannabis responsibly is the only way to encourage the legalization of cannabis. If you act irresponsibly because of weed, it will only hurt weed’s reputation. Luckily, there are strains that will get you less high.
Microdosing is a good daytime option.
It’s especially ideal if you only have a strong strain and want to take it easy. Microdosing is just what it sounds like. It’s consuming cannabis in extremely small quantities so that you won’t get completely high.
It’s also easy to microdose throughout the day. Only take a little bit at once. That way you can enjoy the effects all day long.
If you start to feel high, start hydrating. Eat some food. Take a step back from what you are doing and try to relax.
Pro: Pain Relief
Medical marijuana is finally accepted in the medical community.
Most patients turn to marijuana to treat pain. This is a very valid option.
Marijuana is not addictive and has far fewer side effects than painkillers. There are no negative long term side effects.
For those experiencing chronic or severe pain, cannabis is usually the healthiest and safest option. Those suffering from chronic pain find it hard to go about their daily lives.
Medical marijuana makes that possible.
Daytime consumption is sometimes the only way to make it through the day if you’re living with pain. High THC strains are more effective at relieving pain.
Con: Smell
Let’s face it. Weed doesn’t smell very nice.
There are some strains that don’t smell as strong as others. But no matter what strain you’re using, if you’re smoking, there will be a smell.
Change clothes as soon as you’ve stopped smoking. Use a good laundry detergent to get the smell out of your clothes.
Take a shower and put on some perfume.
Consider consuming cannabis in another way. Vaping has a milder smell than smoking. Edibles have almost no smell at all.
Be considerate of others. Be aware that smelling like weed could lead to awkward conversations at work.
Pro: Relaxation
Life is stressful.
We all need to incorporate relaxation into our daily routines.
Relaxation is not just something for vacation or the weekend. Waiting to relax will only increase your stress levels.
Living with high stress can lead to other health problems. You’re more likely to have heart problems, blood pressure issues, and many other problems.
Weed is a natural and effective way to reduce stress.
It’s commonly prescribed for people with anxiety and depression. But no matter why you need relaxation, you deserve a bit of time for yourself.
Conclusion
Everything in life comes with pros and cons. When it comes to daytime weed, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
