<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no denying that these are extremely stressful times. Cannabis, because of its ability to help us achieve balance in restoring homeostasis throughout our bodies, can be a great tool to calm any nerves we\u2019re all collectively experiencing right now. That\u2019s because the world\u2019s most favored flower\u00a0has been shown\u00a0<\/a>to blunt anxious reactions by reducing the release of the stress hormone cortisol.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you are looking for some ideas on how to mix relaxation and cannabis, try some of these methods and see if they work for you. <\/p>\n

1. Take a Cannabis-Infused Bath<\/a><\/h4>\n

A cannabis-infused bath can be part of your daily routine if you\u2019ve got the time to soak, or you can keep a stash ready for an especially rough day when you need the tension to just melt off. With these\u00a0topical<\/a>\u00a0methods of use, there won\u2019t be a psychoactive or \u201chead high\u201d feeling.<\/p>\n

People over time have ingested cannabis, used cannabis tinctures or smoked it as flower or hash, but only in the last decade has the bathing experience reached these new heights. What a time to be alive!<\/p>\n

2. Doodle in a Cannabis-Themed Coloring Book<\/a><\/h4>\n

Adult coloring books have been around for several decades, becoming more popular in recent years as people look for ways to unwind and decompress from their screen-soaked lives.<\/p>\n

According to the experts,\u00a0coloring activates different areas of our two cerebral hemispheres, which has a stress-reducing effect. Psychologist Gloria Mart\u00ednez Ayala tells\u00a0The Huffington Post<\/a>,\u00a0coloring\u00a0\u201cbrings out our imagination and takes us back to our childhood, a period in which we most certainly had a lot less stress.\u201d<\/p>\n

You know what else helps\u00a0reduce stress<\/a>? Yeah, you guessed it: cannabis.<\/p>\n

3. Combine Cannabis & Meditation<\/a><\/h4>\n

There are lots of different types of meditation and choosing a method of consumption for them really depends on the type of experience you\u2019d like to have. In general,\u00a0smoking<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0vaping<\/a>\u00a0is probably best because the effects will come on more rapidly than with\u00a0edibles<\/a>, although a low-dose edible might be a good option for longer practices that might also include\u00a0yoga<\/a>\u00a0along with meditation or sound healing.<\/p>\n

4. Microdose Some Edibles<\/a><\/h4>\n

A particularly effective tool towards keeping your cool are cannabis\u00a0edibles.\u00a0Low-dose<\/a>\u00a0offerings can insert a bit of pleasantry into an otherwise drab day. With just a punch of positive, microdose edibles are great for getting through these scary times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. Try Ganja Yoga<\/a><\/h4>\n

Cannabis-friendly yoga was once a California niche, as the state\u2019s early medical marijuana laws helped spawn a proliferation of events that paired weed with an ancient Hindu tradition. Now, as attitudes towards cannabis consumption continue to shift, high yoga has made its way to the East Coast too.<\/p>\n

Despite its growing popularity, the rise of 420-friendly classes has\u00a0caused some debate<\/a>\u00a0within the yoga community. Does consuming cannabis help one\u2019s yoga practice \u2014 or hinder it? Does THC intoxicate, or heighten the experience? Would THC hinder\u00a0the pursuit of<\/a>\u00a0\u201cclarity and purity of mind\u201d?<\/p>\n

TELL US<\/strong>, what are you doing to stay calm these days?<\/p>\n
