Welcome to 2022! The New Year is a great time to set goals and create resolutions for yourself. For many, New Year’s resolutions are usually directed towards money, relationships, or work. While those are important goals, we believe it’s also valuable to have a few resolutions that you’re excited about completing, which can accompany the more serious ones and make them more bearable. Incorporating mindful resolutions around a more fun topic such as cannabis, can encourage healthy habits for the future and improve your relationship with substances in general. In this article, we will go over 3 healthy cannabis related New Year’s resolutions that we believe could truly improve the way you view smoking.
Get Creative And Surprise Yourself
Due to prior studies and research, we have been aware that cannabis has the ability to spark creativity. Being a stimulant, it has the power to boost output of all kinds in your mind and body. Famous artists such as Maya Angelou, Charles Baudelaire and many more, have experimented with marijuana in their creative process. It can help expand concepts or rearrange ideas that may have already been formed, but are halted due to artist’s block or lack of creativity. If the idea of smoking and getting creative on your own sounds a bit lonely, don’t fret. Art is an amazing activity to do with friends – other perspectives around could even inspire you more. “Getting creative” can refer to anything from painting to photography, journaling, and more! If you’re feeling frisky, make yourself a bonus resolution to try an art medium you’ve never experimented with.
Consider Weed As A Workout Buddy
If you still haven’t tried incorporating cannabis into your workout routine, we think you’re missing out! Smoking and working out may seem like an opposite match, but you’d be surprised at the effects cannabis can have. Many athletes who regularly go running under the influence of THC, report a higher body awareness and enhanced bodily sensation during their run. In the past, stoners may have had the reputation for being lazy, but the modern day stoner has truly changed that view. Since the legalization of weed, many consumers have been encouraged to fit cannabis into their wellness routine or self care steps.
CBD is a similar option for those who want to reap the benefits of cannabis without getting high. It contains the same benefits that THC may give you, but minus the chemicals that get you high. CBD has been shown to relieve pain, accelerate recovery and help with pre performance nerves.
Add Natural Botanicals To Your Flower
Other seemingly tame herbs such as lavender and chamomile have their own special benefits, especially when combined with THC. If marijuana is added to the mix with another smokable herb, beautiful things can happen. Many stoners are familiar with this concept in the form of a spliff, which is a joint with tobacco mixed in. With all the harmful chemicals in tobacco consumption, we think 2022 should be the year of finding natural, less harmful solutions. Alternatives such as Lavender, for example, can add to your experience and influence the flavour profile of the stain you’re smoking. Smokeable botanicals aren’t very hard to source – many can be ordered online or bought from your local market. Before trying anything, we suggest doing your own research, especially if you’re known to have food sensitivities.
Below we’ve listed 4 of our favourite natural herbs that may be added to your smoke routine and benefits they could have:
- Rose petals – increases sensuality, acts as an aphrodisiac, creates a sense of inner peace and can help with depression.
- Mugwort – enhances dreaming, promotes relaxation and can have mild psychedelic effects.
- Chamomile – pain relief benefits, promotes relaxation, helps stress relief and contains anti-inflammatory properties.
- Lavender – has anti-stress agents, aids in healthy sleep and supports mood stability.
To finish off, we believe that each New Year is a chance to try something new and put yourself out there. Sometimes though, the pressure of trying to do better this time of year can make us feel inadequate, especially if we don’t reach our goals by the time we hoped for. Our advice is to add a couple resolutions that also bring you joy, not just anxiety. If you enjoy cannabis or want to switch up your smoking routine, why not incorporate it into your New Year’s resolutions!
