Enjoy your high sensation because it’s one-of-a-kind! No two people experience cannabis the same way, even when consuming the same strain. This is a peculiar phenomenon that spotlights all the different factors contributing to the effects someone feels after consuming cannabis. We’ll explore the internal and external factors that shape the way you experience cannabis to determine why it varies for each person.

Internal Factors

Our bodies influence the way we experience cannabis, and it goes as deep as our genetic makeup.

Genes are what make each person unique. Even twins have certain genes that set them apart. As complex as our genetic makeup is, things get even more complex when coming in contact withcannabis.

Cannabis interacts directly with our body’s endocannabinoid system. THC stimulates the body’s cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, which are associated with functions including thinking, motor activity, pain perception, the immune system, the cardiovascular system, and organs. It’s why one person can feel relaxed and another experiences anxiety with the same strain.

Our mental perception about using cannabis can also shape the effects we feel. Having expectations, both positive and negative, can usually attract that very experience.

We can change our expectations to inspire certain effects from cannabis. For example, reading a strain description or user reviews can set the expectation that you’ll get the same feeling. Your expectation causes the mind to seek sensations from the high to confirm what you’re expecting.

Are you a daily cannabis user or do you only consume it on special occasions? Frequent users have a higher tolerance than infrequent users. They require much more THC content to achieve the same type of high compared to someone with low tolerance.

Our Fatkid’s Cake cannabis seeds have one of the highest THC levels in the Amsterdam Genetics seed bank at 29.9% THC! Users with higher tolerance can manage it as it delivers milder effects. Users with low tolerance will feel its relaxing body effects much more potently. The Grape Ape strain, which has a lower 19% THC level, can deliver a smooth high for low-tolerance users at the same time a high-tolerance user reports not feeling much effects at all.

Users can reset their tolerance levels with a T-break, so that even strains with lower THC levels can feel amazing!

Cannabis alters our mood. But the way you feel before consuming cannabis can lead to an enhanced mood or mood change. One common effect of sativa strains is an uplifted mood. If you’re already happy and cheerful before consuming, then you’ll feel heightened joy while under the influence.

What happens if you’re in a bad mood? Many users report feeling a mood shift toward slightly happier or simply balanced. Don’t expect to go from grumpy to euphoric with cannabis. With certain negative moods, cannabis can enhance the adverse effects. If you feel scared, then consuming cannabis can make you even more paranoid. The same happens with anxiety.

External Factors

Your environment has a greater impact on you than you think. It’s why people can feel more productive in an office setting or sleepy when lying in bed with fresh sheets. Environment also plays a role in how we experience cannabis.

Your personal perception of cannabis can determine how you feel after consumption. Users who have had amazing experiences, such as euphoria, creative inspiration, and even a good meal due to increased hunger, will most likely continue having great experiences. Their excitement for using cannabis a subsequent time will make them look forward to those good feelings returning.

Alternatively, cannabis users who have had bad experiences in the past will be much more hesitant and worried during their next use. It’s the negative mindset that can shift the way cannabis affects them.

Previous experiences can easily change since our minds are prone to recency bias, or recalling the most recent experiences first. Even if you had all great sessions, one bad trip can spark a bit of anxiety during your next time. And discovering the joys of using cannabis can quickly overwrite all those negative experiences from the past.

Your mindset and the setting where you’re consuming cannabis impact the effects experienced from it. Consider relaxing at home, a place where you feel comfortable. That familiarity will help keep you calm and enjoy the cannabis effects even more. Now, imagine you’re in a stranger’s flat in a neighbourhood far from home. That uncomfortable feeling can make the negative effects of cannabis, such as anxiety and paranoia, much more prominent, even if you consumed the same strain in both scenarios.

What you listen to can shape your mindset during a session. Listening to your favourite music vs watching the news, filled with negative stories, can have positive or negative effects, respectively.

How you consume cannabis can also affect the way you feel afterwards. Consuming with our AG x Mascotte rolling papers will deliver instant effects, and it’s an excellent method for connoisseurs who want the full flavour and scent profile. Consuming edibles has a slower reaction time, but sends the THC right into your body once ingested for a stronger body buzz.
