Have you ever wondered why your interaction with marijuana shifts after eating a meal? It appears the type of food you consume can significantly impact the intensity and duration of your high. Let's explore how certain nutrients might elevate or alter your cannabis experience.  

The Importance of Fats
Omega 3 fatty acids are beneficial. They aid in the absorption of THC in the body enhancing the potency of your experience. These healthy fats can be found in foods such as salmon and chia seeds. Even in walnuts too! 

Omega 6 fats may not exert the same influence as Omega 3 fats; however, they can still play a role in how your body reacts to cannabinoids in various ways. Sunflower seeds and poultry are some examples of foods that are rich in Omega 6 fats.  

Vitamin and Mineral Gemstones 
Vitamin B6s presence is involved in producing serotonin. A neurotransmitter associated with emotions and general happiness levels; higher levels could enhance the effects of using cannabis.  

Inadquate magnesium levels could lead to sensations of worry and tension which might counteract the advantages of using marijuana. Magnesium rich foods like spinach, almonds and avocado in your diet could assist in sustaining levels of this particular mineral. 

Maintaining a balance of zinc in your body is crucial for bodily functions and the production of neurotransmitters that influence mood regulation positively. You can achieve this by incorporating foods rich in zinc like oysters, pumpkin seeds and lentils into your daily meals to promote emotional well being effectively.  

How do Terpenes affect things?
Mangoes and hops can enhance the relaxing effects of marijuana using Myrcene.

Terpenes such as limonene, a substance found in fruits, has been demonstrated to improve mood and reduce anxiety potentially amplifying the effects of using cannabis.

Consuming fruits and vegetables can supply nutrients such as vitamins and minerals which can help enhance your well being and possibly enrich your experience with cannabis use.  

Consuming grains is beneficial for maintaining energy levels, as they also play a role in stabilizing blood sugar levels. This can influence both your state and the strength of your alertness! 

Incorporating proteins into your meals can be advantageous, as they aid in regulating blood sugar levels and provide energy to enhance your overall well being and enjoyment during the peak moments of your day.  

It's crucial to remember everyone's encounter with cannabis is individual and varies significantly from one person to another. Perspective on it varies greatly. Experimentation with cannabis and a variety of foods is crucial to discovering what works best for you. Always keep in mind to consume cannabis in moderation.  

Enjoy your meal!
