Cannabis consumption is often associated with being lazy, which is a common stereotype to cannabis users. Though it could be true to some users, the others are actually highly active.
CBD is usually one of the main ingredients of these cannabis products. CBD or cannabidiol is a component of the cannabis plant that is non-psychoactive but provides therapeutic and health benefits, while THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is often restricted but allowed within a specific amount. Though THC provides the euphoric feeling or the feeling of getting high, some energy-boosting cannabis products also contain a limited amount of it.
In Colorado, one of the first states to legalize marijuana, there are special cannabis products that could boost energy. Here are some of them, per Leafly:
Cannabis-infused products
1. GO Energy Chocolate
Go Energy Chocolate by 1906 has 5mg THC and 5mg CBD. It is available in several dispensaries in Colorado including Magnolia Road in Boulder, Lightshade in Denver, and Kind Love in Glendale.
This product could boost energy because it has caffeine, L-theanine, Galangal, and theobromine. It is retailed at around $22 to $28 and is also available in chocolate-covered coffee beans.
2. Sativa Energy Buzzin’
Magic Buzz’s Sativa Energy Buzzin’ Shot is an energy drink that could last up to five hours and is available in a 2-ounce shot. It has yerba mate, taurine, B vitamins, 160mg caffeine and 10mg THC, making drinkers more energized. One shot retails at around $7 to $11.
3. Drinkit Coffee
This product of Canyon Cultivation is a cold brew coffee that has 100mg of caffeine and 10mg of THC per serving. It retails about $9 or $10.
4. Blissful black tea
This Stillwater Brands product is perfect for people who are not fans of coffee, but wants to get boosted by caffeine. This tea is infused with water-soluble THC product called Ripple—10mg of it. A package that has eight servings costs around $25.
Cannabis strains
It is not just the cannabis-infused products that can boost energy but also certain cannabis strains—particularly sativa strains. Though not all sativas can energize users, it is more stimulating than indica strains.
Here are some strains that can help you power up according to another article from Leafly:
1. Harlequin
This strain has higher CBD levels than THC, which prevents users from being paranoid, anxious or sleepy. It only provides mild psychoactive effects allowing users to have more cognition. It also helps with pain management.
2. Jillybean
This strain, according to some users, can provide a certain buzz without weighing you down. The energizing effects may have come from the aromatherapy that this strain provides.
3. Durban Poison
It is compared to espresso by some users as this strain is stimulating. Unlike other strains, it provides the user a clearer mindset.
There are a lot of options for different cannabis users, whether you are already a veteran or just a newbie. These products could also prove that cannabis effects are not limited to feeling relaxed—cannabis can also energize you.
