High. Insights on Marijuana

Is it true that a marijuana high can lead to profound insights, as many users have reported? In his now classic essay

“Mr. X”, anonymously published in 1971, even the famous astronomer Carl Sagan claimed that he owed many invaluable insights for his publications to marijuana. The investiga

tion High. Insights on Marijuana  explains in depth the different ways a marijuana high can lead to insights as well as to other mind enhancements, such as the enhancement of episodic memory, pattern recognition, imagination, creativity, introspection, and our ability for empathic understanding of others.

Countless fascinating reports given by marijuana users and cutting-edge research from various areas of knowledge help Marincolo to take our understanding of the marijuana high to a new level. His unusual study is a thoroughly accessible and entertaining interdisciplinary tour de force through the current cognitive sciences, evolutionary psychology, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind. High. Insights on Marijuana offers a revolutionary new perspective on the mind-enhancing potential of marijuana and takes his readers to a voyage deep into the high mind.

This peppy sativa-dominant hybrid is a great daytime blend of two legendary strains, Blue Dream and Sour Diesel. Following in the footsteps of its sativa Diesel heritage, Sour Dream produces an extremely happy, euphoric head high perfect for daylight errands and evening social occasions.

What are the Effects?

The effects are creative and energetic. Effective medical uses for this strain include everyday stress, chronic pain, anxiety, and lack of appetite. It can also be helpful in treating insomnia, despite its upbeat effects.

What is the Flavour?

Like its Diesel parent, Sour Dream has a pungent, diesel aroma and flavor, with additional berry notes. The appearance of the bud is lime green with brown hairs. THC levels are reported to top 17%, making this a relatively potent medical choice. But CBD concentration is much lower, much too low to use Sour Dream as the only treatment for seizures.

Blue Sour Characteristics

Flavours: Diesel, Skunky, Sugary, Sweet, Tobacco
Effects: Creative, Energizing, Euphoria, Happy, Uplifting
Medical Relief: Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Chronic Pain, Depression, Eye Pressure, Fatigue, Nausea, PTSD, Stress

If this seems like a good fit for you, but a bit hesitant? It’s good to try out the different strains and see which is more beneficial for you! We encourage you to try an eight of an ounce (3.5 grams).

Concentrate Basics: Shatter, Budder and Oil

As the popularity of concentrates continues to grow, so do questions about the many forms that dabs can take. In this video, we’re taking a closer look at the three main types of concentrates — Shatter, Budder and Oil. Shatter is smooth, clear and solid. It is the purest and most potent form because it involves a second extraction process that removes fats, lipids and waxes. This can result in over 80 percent THC. However, it also means that terpenes are lost in the process. Budder retains more of the terpenes so it tends to be more flavorful but less potent — with THC percentages in the 70s. It has a creamy consistency from being whipped. Oil tends to be the least refined of the three. It is a gooey, sticky liquid that can be hard to handle. This form — also known as honey oil or butane hash oil — can retain a full flavour profile, however, THC levels tend to be less consistent. – HighTimes

First, we ought to understand the anatomy of the marijuana plant.

1st part is the actual plant, including stalks, flowers, and leaves, then you have the buds. From these buds, they hold the THC, which is the part where smokers and growers enjoy.

The buds are trichomes aka tiny hairs, that are white to amber in colour, and it’s these trichomes that make up the hash.

Hash Moroccan by HerbalCoast

How is Hash made? 

Centuries ago, Hash, as we know it was discovered in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It was after farmers finished picking the buds from the crop, and was left with residues on their hands, which they’d scrape off to clean. For a more in-depth article, please click here.

What are the Effects of Hash?

Due to Hash’ high amounts of THC (70%-90%), users can expect to feel many of the effects as they would consuming marijuana. It can be smoked or consumed, and usually used to feel relaxed, stress-free, and all around put you in a better mood.

Here are other side effects:

• Perception of time, color and spatial boundaries becomes distorted
• Relaxed, happy feeling becomes elevated to the point of euphoria
• Uncontrollable laughter
• Increased hunger (munchies to the extreme)
• Increased paranoia
• Dryness in mouth and throat

The effects usually last as long as four hours.

“Why not allow everyone to benefit from it?”

Now, many movie buffs will probably know him for playing Fox Mulder in “The X-Files,” but his hardcore fans will have love him for playing Hank Moody, the always “out of this world” character in “Californication.” He’s of course, David Duchovny and yes, in real-life too, he’s all for the herb.

“I’m all for legalization. I think people are going to smoke pot anyway, and the idea that people are in jail for smoking pot and dealing pot is reprehensible to me personally,” Duchovny said. “I think you could make a lot of money as a government by treating them like cigarettes and getting your taxes off of them and building roads and taking care of the people that need to be taken care of. I think it’s a great idea. I don’t think it would lead to any more use. Everybody I know, if they want to, has smoked pot. The fact that it’s illegal doesn’t stop anybody I know, so why not allow everybody to benefit from it? It would be billions of dollars of tax revenue.”

AMS is an indica dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) strain that was created as a potent cross of the insanely popular Swiss Fragolina X Swiss Gran Flora strains. This dank bud stole its name from the Amsterdam airport code. This beautiful bud boats an average THC level of 15% and a CBD level that ranges from 1-1.5% on average.

What are the Effects?

Users describe the AMS high as one that is strongly introspective with an accompanying clear-headed uplifted euphoria. You’ll feel intensely motivated and laser-focused, yet you’ll have tendencies to become lost in your own thoughts with a feeling of utter relaxation. This is accompanied by high levels of pain relief and utter relaxation. Due to its potent effects and high CBD level, AMS is said to be an ideal strain for treating conditions such as chronic pain due to injury or illness, ADHD, migraines, and chronic stress.

What’s the Taste and Look?

AMS buds have an intensely sweet aroma of sour grapefruit and a memorable taste of sweet sugary citrus with a surprisingly sour aftertaste. These buds have small fluffy yet dense bright neon green popcorn-shaped nugs with long twisty fiery orange hairs and a frosty layer of thick chunky white trichomes with sweet sticky resin.

Staffer’s Review

 I LOVE this stuff. Amazing for those who loves to toke while working.  Takes you to a level of deep concentration, without getting lost. HerbalCoast kills it again with this strain. Best part? The taste of this herb. Reminiscing my first toke, and I was surprised it had a really nice taste, sweet and light.

Additional Strain Information

Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout Cookies or GSC, is an OG Kush and Durban Poison hybrid cross whose reputation grew too large to stay within the borders of its California homeland. With a sweet and earthy aroma, Girl Scout Cookies launches you to euphoria’s top floor where full-body relaxation meets a time-bending cerebral space. A little goes a long way with this hybrid, whose THC heights have won Girl Scout Cookies numerous Cannabis Cup awards. Patients needing a strong dose of relief, however, may look to GSC for severe pain, nausea, and appetite loss.Parents: Durban Poison, OG Kush

Similar to: Blue Dream, Sour Diesel, Jack Herer, Grandaddy Purple, OG KushFlavors: Sweet, earthy, pungent
Effects: Lazy, euphoric, sleep, happy, hungry
Medical: Depression, insomnia, anxiety, lack of appetite
Used to help with: Anxiety, ADD/ADHD, migraines, bipolar disorder, PTSD

Pennywise

Pennywise is a high-CBD indica cross between Harlequin and Jack the Ripper, a combination that lends this strain its killer clown name. Four phenotypes of this Stephen King-inspired strain exist, some of which have fingerlike buds while others appear more round. Notes of coffee and pepper lift from the purple-fringed flowers with undertones of lemon and bubblegum. Rich in the therapeutic compound CBD, Pennywise is especially effective in treating arthritis, PTSD, epilepsy, neurological disorders, and cancer symptoms. It contains a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC, so the psychoactive effects are milder and more relaxing. Jack the Ripper’s cerebrally focused effects are detectable in Pennywise’s genes as euphoria and mental clarity take over with an invigorating buzz. Pennywise flowers in 60 to 67 days and is suitable for either indoor or outdoor garden.

Sugar Jack

Sugar Jack is a cross of Sugar Shack and Jack Herer. An excellent daytime strain, this Sativa-dominant beauty will provide energy stimulate motivation. Like its name suggests, it features a slightly sweet taste and scent that verges on piney and herbal.

Effects: Uplifted, Euphoric, Creative
Medical: Fatigue, Stress, Anxiety

Marionberry

Like the fruit it is named for, Marionberry Kush is a delicious hybrid bred by Heroes of the Farm. A well-balanced cross of Raspberry Kush and Space Queen that puts off a full spectrum of fruity flavours, Marionberry Kush closely resembles her genetic “sister” Cinderella 99. There are six main phenotypes of Marionberry that all show a range of fruit flavours like passionfruit and raspberry. The aroma is smooth, sweet, and earthy with a sour twist. The effects are pronounced and uplift the mind almost immediately and then slowly relax the body without putting you to sleep.
