Let's look at the 10 most common reasons why your cannabis experience can be disappointing.
1. Smoking for the first time
Many people report that they did not experience the desired effects when they smoked cannabis for the first time. The reason why this happens is largely mysterious, but it usually has to do with incorrect intake of the product.
2. Not being informed about the effects of cannabis
People who have never used cannabis before may have unrealistic expectations about the effects of this plant and therefore may feel dissatisfied with its use. Some people may take just a couple of hits and expect a deep effect of happiness or relaxation, without considering that at low doses the effects are very subtle.
3. Incorrect inhalation
This is another typical problem for beginners, especially if they don't smoke cigarettes. Incorrect inhalation of cannabis negatively affects its assimilation and therefore the high. The most common mistake is to expel the smoke immediately without holding it in the lungs for a few seconds.
4. Low quality product
Unfortunately, the prohibitionism that reigns in many countries opens the way to the circulation of buds of unverifiable quality. It is possible that the cannabis purchased has not been grown correctly, has been roughly pruned or is a "waste", especially if we are talking about hashish.
5. Insufficient dose
Another typical problem for beginners who are not yet familiar with cannabis is taking an insufficient amount of herb, which will produce very nuanced effects.
6. CBD-dominant weed
Not all cannabis buds are the same and some are CBD-dominant, with low to negligible levels of THC (this is the case of so-called legal weed). It is clear that such a product will not produce a high, but it will reveal other benefits such as the reduction of anxiety and physical pain.
7. Incorrect assumption
Incorrect inhalation is a problem for those who smoke weed, usually mixed with tobacco, in the traditional way. But even those who choose to consume cannabis through vaporizers or bongs can handle these objects in the wrong way and thus compromise their session.
8. High tolerance threshold
So far we have mostly talked about beginners, but even experienced smokers have their problems, first of all addiction. The novice smoker, as he becomes a regular user, sees an increase in CB1 receptors in his body for a certain time and therefore his experience improves; but when cannabis becomes a consolidated habit, CB1 receptors begin to decrease and the phenomenon called "tolerance" develops. If you smoke a lot and often, the effects of a single intake are much reduced compared to those who do not smoke constantly.
9.Physiological deficiency of endocannabinoids
Each person has in their organism a certain quantity of endocannabinoids, chemical messengers naturally present in the body that bind to the same receptors as substances introduced from outside such as THC. The hypothesis of some scientists is that those who physiologically have few endocannabinoids may need to smoke much more than others to get high.
10. The role of hormones
It appears that people who produce high amounts of pregnenolone, a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, need more THC than normal to feel the effects.
