Cannabis is known for helping people manage various conditions, such as arthritis, chronic pain cancer, HIV/AIDS, and many more. A lot of people renew medical marijuana cards to continue using cannabis for their medical conditions. You can consult your MMJ doctor for your MMJ card renewal. But when you consume cannabis regularly for a long period of time, your tolerance level increases significantly. You then need to consume more cannabis to experience the same high that you used to experience in the beginning. The intensity of your cannabis might not feel as strong as before. This is true for both medical and recreational cannabis users.
One way to start experiencing those effects again is to take a tolerance break. But for this, you will need to stop consuming cannabis for 30 days. This can be a bit difficult for people who use cannabis as a medication for their conditions. Fortunately, there are a few hacks that you can try to boost the intensity of your high without taking a tolerance break. Here is a list of some of these hacks that may help in boosting the intensity of your high.
Hack 1. Eat Mangoes
Almost every seasoned stoner has used mangoes to boost the cannabis high. These delightful fruits are high in terpenes such as myrcene. Myrcene helps THC go through the blood-brain barrier with ease. The terpenes in mangoes interact with THC and intensify the potency of the high that you experience. Your high will also last longer because of this. It is better to eat 2 to 3 mangoes 1 hour prior to consuming cannabis. Although, you can also eat them while you are already under the influence of cannabis.
Hack 2. Drink Tea
Tea is one of the most common hot beverages in many countries like Turkey, Ireland, and The United Kingdom. But did you know that you could intensify your cannabis high with tea? Yes, surprisingly, tea can affect our endocannabinoid system by binding to the cannabinoid receptors. Tea contains antioxidants that make you feel more relaxed while improving your mood. These antioxidants affect GPR55 (a protein in the ECS). This way, tea enhances your overall cannabis high. The feelings of being high should also last longer than usual.
Hack 3. Try Drinking Beer
Well, it is usually advised to never mix cannabis with alcohol. Because if you don’t get it right, you will find yourself throwing up in a washroom. But, if you can play smart and get it right, this could help in intensifying your cannabis high. You can try drinking a beer first before consuming cannabis. This will increase the levels of THC in your blood, which will give you a long-lasting and intense high. A 2001 study showed that alcohol can open up the blood vessels of your digestive system. This helps in increasing the rate of absorbing THC. So, you can mix beer with cannabis, but be very sensible when doing so.
