The Highly Functional Stoner
In the world of cannabis, there are two types of people who get high: the couch-locked stoner and the active-lifestyle stoner. Most of us fall into the former category, where deciding what to eat is already too big a task. Some of us, on the other hand, can’t help but become hyper-productive adventure-seekers while riding the wave of THC’s effects.
Cannabis is capable of increasing creativity, work ethic, passion, and the overall desire to explore one’s surroundings. Join us as we take a look at what it means to be a highly functional stoner.
In Tune with Nature
Cannabis can bring us closer in tune with our natural surroundings. Marijuana is a flower, so we associate it with the great outdoors, whether we know it or not. For the active stoner, nothing sounds better than putting your boots on and loading your backpack for a day out on the trail.
When you arrive at the trailhead, there’s nothing like taking a few drags from your favourite pipe. You close your eyes and exhale the dense cloud of smoke, allowing the effects to ripple throughout your mind and body.
When you inhale deeply, you’ll catch every nuance of the surrounding environment: pine trees, moss, a rushing river, and the soil radiating the sun’s warmth. All of this combined with cannabis will draw you closer in tune with nature, driving the desire to explore new heights.
Work-Driven Stoners
I’ve seen it countless times amongst co-workers. Work becomes more enjoyable when stoned. This doesn’t mean that they become any less productive, but actually the opposite effect. You could say they turn into workaholics after sneaking away for a few hits on their vaporizers.
A spark flashes across their face, and I can tell instantly that they’re stoned. Their dull appearances suddenly disappear, and their enthusiasm increases. As a co-worker or employer, this is a welcome sight to behold because productivity is suddenly at its all-time high.
The same goes for many students, where studying becomes an enjoyment rather than a chore. Suddenly, everything is interesting, and the learning material is rapidly absorbed.
The Athletic Stoner
Most functional stoners will agree that exercising while high is an incredible experience. Physical exertion is known to produce mood-boosting endorphins, so taking a few puffs of cannabis will only compound this effect.
The “runner’s high” becomes magnified when finishing a 3-mile run. A surfer that catches a perfect wave is locked in with laser focus. Lifting weights feel even better because you can sense each muscles’ effort.
Cannabis has the unique ability to put our mind at ease during high-intensity workouts. This makes for a better performance, which draws many athletes to exercise while high.
Unlike Any Other Experience
Overall, the experiences we gain while stoned are usually second to none. This is why being active while under THC’s spell is so alluring. Whether you enjoy being active or not, being stoned and exploring your world is an exceptional experience that the cannabis community should enjoy.
