Cannabis is already an amazing plant. But like many things in life, you can make good things even better. If you are running low and want to stretch what you have at home until your next run, pairing with fruit can be a great way to make the most out of what you have. Try pairing your next smoke session with one of these to help get you higher!

MANGO
Mango is arguably the most popular fruit to be used like this. Eating the fruit about 30-45 minutes before smoking will help you feel the effects of whatever you are smoking (or eating) more intensely. However, it can also be done shortly before or during your smoke sesh.
This is because mango contains Myrcene. A terpene that reacts with THC. (Terpenes are essential oils that give foods and plants their fragrance.) Myrcene is safe and is also naturally present in lemon grass, bay leaves, hops and eucalyptus.
Ways to consume
- Fresh Mango
- Fresh Mango Juice
- Mango Salsa
- Dried/Candied Mangos
- Fruit Salad
NUTS
Nuts have high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids. This helps cannabinoids something to hang onto and as a result your high kicks in faster AND stronger.
Eat some of your favorite nuts before your next smoke session and get ready to feel the high in a brand new way!

HERBS AND SPICES
Thyme, Sage and Bay leaves all contain the terpene pinene. Similar to the effects of eating nuts, these herbs help speed up the onset of your high and increase its intensity.
Interestingly, if you find yourself too high, you can rely on these herbs to help bring you back down- Lemon Thyme, Lemon Basil, Lemon Grass. They contain limonene, which helps to counteract anxiety and stress brought on by Cannabis. Inhaling the scene of Black Pepper can also help calm you down. (Just be careful to inhale slowly and deeply, if you inhale too quickly you might get a nose full of pepper!)
BLACK AND GREEN TEA
Black and Green tea can help elevate your cannabis experience as well! They contain an antioxidant called catechin. Catechin binds with receptors in the brain, called B1 receptors, to bring on many of the feelings associated with Cannabis, rest, relaxation and de-stressing. Combining the two makes for a wonderful and elevated experience!

BROCCOLI
If you want to feel the full effect of the greens you are smoking, then enjoy more of the greens you should be eating! Broccoli contains beta-caryophyllene, a terpene that binds to your CB2 receptors like many other cannabinoids. Eating Broccoli is recommended before smoking an Indica. A few ounces can turn out some wonderfully blissful results.
