But as time went on, the effects of cannabis, regardless of the strain or THC potency, have diminished whenever I smoke marijuana flower buds.
It’s aggravating when things lose their effects as time goes on. Whether it’s the love you get from a certain hobby or the fun from a can of beer, your perception of that stimulus is going to change as you get older. Sometimes the effects simply get worse. You could fall madly in love but end up drifting apart from the person with the passage of time. Or you reach for cold syrup for the second time in a single week and discover that you’re swiftly getting less relief from the same amount. I have gone through this process with many different things in my life, but there is a single instance that stands out above the rest. I’ll never forget how magical it felt trying cannabis for the first time roughly ten years ago. I remember the rush going to my head and taking me away from my daily world of anxiety and grief. Cannabis was beyond anything my brain could conceive at that time, and it hastily became a constant feature in my life. But as time went on, the effects of cannabis, regardless of the strain or THC potency, have diminished whenever I smoke marijuana flower buds. When I visited the cannabis dispensary last week, I mentioned my issues to the budtender. She commanded that I try a cannabis concentrate to change it up. I had to divulge that I had been using flower products forever and haven’t a concentrate since I was in school. I remember the intensity of the experience, and these new concentrates did the job right.
