One of the most common and hurtful stereotypes about those who regularly consume cannabis is that they end up becoming lazy, lethargic, and can’t get things done. Because they are supposedly unproductive and are remiss in the performance of their tasks and duties, they become a burden to everyone around them.

The unfortunate reality is that if a marijuana user isn’t careful with their weed consumption, they could end up proving this stereotype true. Reckless over-consumption of highly potent marijuana products can result in extremely intense “bad trips” that could render anyone too ill or sedated to function properly. Combine this with an unhealthy reliance on marijuana, or repeated instances of overdosing, and the end result is a habit that is completely detrimental to day-to-day productivity.

Thankfully, this can be easily avoided. All a user has to do is to modify how they consume marijuana so that its effects contribute to their energy and focus, rather than detract from it so they can get things done. This technique is centered on taking the psychoactive and relaxing compounds of marijuana, namely THC and CBD respectively, into heavier consideration. Here are some of the ways this is done.

  • Picking a hybrid strain. A hybrid strain of Indica and Sativa, the two main strains of cannabis, will have just enough THC and CBD to counter each other’s excessive effects while allowing you to enjoy an inspirational, mood-lifting buzz. Indica is known to have a higher amount of THC, which produces feelings of “high” and euphoria, while Sativa is sold for its high content of CBD, which doesn’t cause the same intoxicating effects. Thus, a milder blend is best. Consider one from the “Hype” section of Flybuds cannabis blends.
  • Stacking chemicals. Take a stimulant with your cannabis if you feel that your cannabis product is too calming. Coffee, for example, helps you become more alert and awake, countering the effects of marijuana. It also decreases your desire to take more marijuana than you actually need.
  • Choosing a proper consumption method. The method you use to consume marijuana will also affect how it kicks in. Ideally, you want a method that will allow you to easily control the dosage you take, and not let you accidentally take in more than you need to. Examples of these include consuming tiny portions of edibles, dabbing, using small spoon pipes, and so on. Spacing out your consumption and taking rests so as not to develop tolerance to marijuana is also a good idea.

Simply by doing the above adjustments to your marijuana intake, you can make the following effects of marijuana work for you rather than against you in terms of helping you become more productive.

  • Pain and muscle tension relief. It has been medically verified that the various cannabinoids in marijuana help relieve pain, especially the sort that is chronic and neuropathic, such as those caused by cancer or MS (multiple sclerosis). Even a low dosage can help achieve a discernible relief against pain.

If you’re someone who suffers from chronic pain, then you may find yourself being unable to do even the most basic of tasks. Removing that pain will allow you to move around more easily, as well as keep a better mental focus on what you’re supposed to be doing.

  • Anxiety relief. Another benefit of cannabis consumption is how it helps with calming down symptoms of anxiety. In a study by a research team from the Washington State University, it was revealed that smoking 10 or more puffs of a cannabis strain that is high in THC and CBD afforded huge reductions in the stress levels of individuals. Relieving symptoms of anxiety also helps in the treatment of other health issues like insomnia and depression.

Anxiety can be a huge factor in someone who can’t get things done. Besides filling their minds with frightened and panicked thoughts, anxiety also spikes up their adrenalin and cortisol levels, which then manifests as physical symptoms of stress that can then further increase their anxiety. This effectively prevents them from being productive. However, by taking marijuana, they can remove anxiety from the equation, freeing themselves from distracting thoughts and emotions.

  • Improving the quality of life and sense of well-being. Many supporters of cannabis proclaim that the sense of euphoria and psychedelic trips that they get from marijuana consumption allows them to unleash their inner mind and tap into an unknown well of creativity. While this may be true, the benefit of such psychoactive effects can be subjective, as not everyone will experience the same psychedelic trips as others do when consuming cannabis. It may even frighten or disturb them, which can be a detriment to their productivity.

What can be considered objective is the overall benefit afforded by marijuana’s sedative effects. When a person’s anxiety and chronic pain is relieved, they will feel better, both mentally and physically. This allows them to experience an increased quality of life, which ultimately helps in lifting their spirits and motivating them to do the things that they couldn’t before.

Responsible and reasonable cannabis consumption increases productivity

Regular marijuana intake can help you do more things and in a more efficient fashion. However, it must be stressed that this can only come from consuming cannabis responsibly and reasonably, no matter if it’s for a medical or recreational purpose. Too much of anything is usually bad, and cannabis is no exception.
