WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SMOKE?

There is no time set in stone to take a puff. It all depends on the individual. Some prefer to take a puff before setting out in the morning as it helps make their day productive; others prefer to take a drag in the evening because it helps them relax after a long day.

There is no set time, so you have all the freedom to take Mary Jane whenever you like. However, here are some factors you would want to consider before picking a time to get high.

WHAT ARE THE THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING A TIME TO SMOKE?

The reason you smoke is a good factor to consider. People smoke for different reasons. Some smoke to be focused and energized and take some puffs in the morning. This is also known as wake and bake. It keeps the person energized and productive for the whole day.

However, some people can't handle their day being high; a drag early in the morning will render their day useless. Some other people take cannabis because of their health, whether to manage pain, nausea, or depression. Such a person takes cannabis according to the doctor's prescription.

Another factor that comes into play is the type of weed it is. There are three significant strains of weed; the Sativa dominant, the Indica dominant, and the hybrid. The Sativa dominant is energizing and will produce a cerebral high in the user. It keeps the user energized and active.

Such a strain is not advised to be taken in the evening when you want to sleep; else, you might find yourself dancing till daybreak. This strain is suited for during the day when energy is needed.

The second type of cannabis strain, the Indica dominant strain, provides a body high and gives this relaxing and sleepy feeling. It is most suited for evening time when the body needs the relaxation and soothing feeling it gives.

The hybrid, as the name implies, combines the Sativa and the Indica strains. It combines the resulting feeling of both strains. The feeling that will be dominant depends on the percentage composition of both strains.

In the morning

What better time to have a drag than early in the morning? Early morning weed is also known as wake n' bake. For many stoners, this is a favorite smoking time as it helps get the needed energy to start their day. The recommended strain for wake n' bake is the Sativa dominant strain which invigorates and energizes. It keeps the mind sharp and focused on the day's activities.

However, this does not work for everyone as not everyone can simultaneously handle a cerebral high and be productive in their day. Therefore, know what works for you and how will you know whether something works for you or not?
