JARS ROUNDTABLE RECAP: AL HARRINGTON INTERVIEW WITH VIOLA LABS

Let our staff find you the perfect products here:  

Alternate the strains you are using 

Now, let's talk about switching up the strains. Of course, we all know that different strains of cannabis can have different effects - some are more relaxing, like Indica strains, while others are more uplifting, like Sativa strains. But did you know that different strains can also have different tastes and aromas?   

By alternating the strains you use, you'll not only experience a wider variety of effects, but you'll also be able to enjoy a more diverse taste and aroma experience.  Plus, switching things up can prevent tolerance and allow you to experiment with new strains and discover the different effects and flavors they have to offer. And let's be real, who doesn't love a little variety in their life? 

Food pairings 

Let's talk about the fun stuff - amplifying the taste, aroma, and effects of cannabis. One way to do this is by pairing your cannabis with certain foods. For example, chocolate contains compounds like theobromine and caffeine that can enhance the effects of THC and create a more euphoric experience. So, grab a bar of high-percentage cocoa dark chocolate next time you plan a smoke session, and thank us later.  

Cheese is another great option - it contains compounds like casein and tyramine that can enhance the effects of THC and create a more relaxing experience. Hard, aged cheeses like cheddar and gouda are perfect options.  

Spicy foods, like those containing capsaicin, can also enhance the effects of THC and create a more intense experience. And let's not forget about fruits - mangoes, pineapples, and berries contain terpenes that can enhance the taste and aroma of the cannabis and create a more enjoyable experience.  Herbs and spices, like peppermint, rosemary, and basil, also contain terpenes that can enhance the taste and aroma of the cannabis.  

And last but not least, nuts and seeds like almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds contain healthy fats and oils that can enhance the effects of cannabis. 

Aromatherapy 

When enhancing your cannabis experience, why settle for the same old routine? Instead, take your next smoke session to new heights with the power of aromatherapy. 

 Imagine lighting a few scented candles, like lavender, which promotes relaxation, or peppermint, which can help to clear the mind. You can add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil to a diffuser or simply apply it to a cloth and inhale the refreshing aroma. Not only will it mask any unwanted odors, but it'll transport you to a relaxing spa-like paradise.

Switching up your methods 

The kind of marijuana you smoke is just one way to make your experience more attractive. Your high will fluctuate significantly depending on how you smoke.  If you've only recently started smoking joints, it might be time to upgrade to a bong or vaporizer. If you're having trouble getting high while using cannabis as you now do, try switching up your strategy. 

 With a bong, you can enjoy a smoother hit and a cooler smoke that's easier on the lungs, allowing you to inhale more deeply and fully appreciate the unique flavor profile of each strain. With a vaporizer, you can enjoy the full range of flavors and aromas without the harshness of smoke while also being considered a healthier option. So why not give your lungs a break and treat them to a smoother, cooler hit while treating your taste buds to a flavor explosion. Elevate your smoking game and take your cannabis experience to a next level high.  

This is a foolproof guide to elevate your smoke session. By investing in quality cannabis, switching up the strains, and experimenting with foods and fruits that can enhance the taste, aroma, and effects of the cannabis, you'll be well on your way to taking your cannabis experience to new heights. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the ride! Because let's face it, life's too short to settle for a dull smoke session. 

If you're looking for a great place to find quality cannabis, be sure to check out our dispensary here, where we offer a wide variety of premium strains and knowledgeable staff to help you find the perfect product for your lifestyle. So, grab some friends, some quality cannabis, and a bag of dark chocolate, and get ready to elevate your next smoke sesh to new heights. 

Welcome, fellow cannabis connoisseurs! Today, we're embarking on a wild journey into the world of edible highs. If you've ever wondered what the fuss is about with THC-infused treats, then get ready to unlock all secrets of the edible effect because JARS is here to enlighten and entertain. Grab a snack (non-infused, for now), and let's dive in! 

Why Edibles Pack a Punch  

First, let’s talk about why consuming cannabis in edible form creates a different experience than smoking or vaping. When you munch on a THC-infused brownie, your body processes the cannabinoids through the digestive system, slowly releasing THC into your bloodstream. With inhalation, the THC rapidly enters your system, creating a faster, more intense high. 

So, in short: edibles are like a slow-cooked pot roast, while smoking is like a quick-sear steak. Both are delicious, but each offers a unique experience. 

The Liver Factor 

Did you know that the liver is critical to the edible effect? When you consume cannabis-infused edibles, your liver transforms the THC into 11-hydroxy-THC – a more potent, longer-lasting version of its cousin, delta-9-THC.  This chemical transformation contributes to the intensity and longevity of an edible high. Who knew that our livers were such skilled cannabis chefs? 

The Sneaky Onset of the Edible Effect 

We've all heard those cautionary tales of unsuspecting users gobbling down a whole batch of THC-infused cookies only to find themselves orbiting Jupiter hours later. What gives? Well, my friends, this is due to the slow onset of edibles. The effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours for the results to kick in. And when they do, oh boy, strap in for a ride!  

This delayed reaction often leads to having one too many, – and, consequently, a particularly "stellar" adventure. 

Remember: patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to edibles. So start low, go slow, and listen to JARS Budtenders – we're here to ensure your experience is one that is both safe and enjoyable.. 

Edible Highs – A Body-Centered Experience 

So, what sets an edible high apart from other forms of cannabis consumption? Well, to start,  it's a more body-centered experience. Users often describe an edible high  as a warm, enveloping sensation that spreads from head to toe, making it ideal for relaxation and stress relief. It's not uncommon for edible aficionados to feel as if they've been swaddled in a cozy, THC-infused blanket. Sounds delightful, right? Just remember to keep an eye on the dosage – we don't want that blanket turning into a restrictive suit! 

Duration of the Edible Effect – Going the Distance 

Edibles have your back if you're in it for the long haul. Depending on individual metabolism, dosage, and tolerance, the edible effect can typically last anywhere between  4 to 8 hours. This vast experience makes edibles popular for those looking to manage chronic pain or enjoy a leisurely journey through the cannabis cosmos. 

So, if you're planning an evening of Netflix and chill (emphasis on the chill part), why not swing by JARS to pick up a tasty THC treat? 

Edibles – A World of Flavors and Options 

At JARS Cannabis, the world of edibles offers an incredible variety of flavors and options to satisfy every palate. From gummies and chocolates to beverages and baked goods, there's an edible for everyone, whether you're craving something sweet, savory, or gluten-free.

Indulge your taste buds while exploring the fascinating world of edibles, which now includes non-intoxicating options.
