When you consume cannabis, often if every day, its effects naturally begin to fade. It's normal. Our body has gotten used to it and as a result we need to smoke more. Or not? Here are some methods for improve your high and make it last longer.
Do physical activity
Never heard of "runner's high"? That feeling of bliss and pleasure that pervades us every time we exercise. Mistakenly associated with endorphins, these pleasant effects are triggered byanandamide, the main endogenous cannabinoid produced by our body.
One study published in 2013 analyzed the blood levels of THC in 14 cannabis users after 35 minutes of exercise on an exercise bike.
The results showed that "physical exercise increases plasma THC levels in regular cannabis users". Why? THC metabolites accumulate in fat cells, and “exercise can release THC dormant from fat deposits and raise their concentrations in the blood".
Store weed properly
Store for too long - e not correctly - our inflorescences, inevitably causes deterioration, degrading both the aromas and the perceived effects.
There is no need to worry if we do not have special containers with integrated humidity control systems, we can opt for simple glass jars, they will be perfect. The important thing is to always close them well and store them in a cool, dry and dark place, away from sunlight.

Eat some mango
Everyone in the cannabis community has tried at least once eat mango before smoking marijuana, in the hope that he would have some amplified the effects.
Legend has it that mango and cannabis are the perfect combination for an amazing experience like no other, but why? Mango contains high quantities of myrcene, a terpene also abundantly present in cannabis.
Although there is no scientific basis for this, it seems that myrcene can help THC to overcome the blood-brain barriers, so as to enjoy its effects more quickly and effectively. One thing is certain, there's no harm in trying.
Eat healthy fats
As with mango, there are other foods that can improve the high. Among these i foods rich in omega 3, fundamental for our cardiovascular system.
Present in abundance in fish, but also in walnuts, dried soybeans and flaxseeds and chia seeds, a recent research observed that mice deprived of omega 3 are less sensitive to cannabinoids, suggesting that its correct intake can actually amplify sensitivity to cannabis.

The vaporization solves both of these problems. In contrast to the barrel, we simply go to heat the plant material, so as not to produce carcinogenic substances and make the most of the potential of each single inflorescence.
Give yourself a tolerance break
When we frequently take cannabis, even if for therapeutic use, our body begins to get used to it and we develop a tolerance towards this substance. As a result, regular users need to smoke more to feel the same effects they experienced before tolerance.
In these cases the ideal choice is to get one tolerance break, so that, depending on how much you have smoked, your body can dispose of cannabinoids accumulated. If it may be difficult, the light cannabis rich in CBD it is a valid ally to cushion the psychotropic effects of THC.
