Your chill guide to finding peace, balance, and good vibes with cannabis during National Wellness Month
August is National Wellness Month, and while self-care can mean green smoothies, journaling, or sunrise yoga, let’s not forget the mellow magic of cannabis. Whether you’re looking to decompress after a long day or just want to boost your mood without going overboard, cannabis can be a powerful tool for wellness—if you know how to use it.
So let’s break it down: here’s how to crack the code for a mellow high that lifts the fog, clears your head, and waves goodbye to bad vibes.
1. Start Low, Go Slow – Especially if You’re New
If you’re new to cannabis or returning after a break, the golden rule is: start low and go slow. A mellow high is all about finding your sweet spot—not couch-lock.
🔹 Try low-dose THC products (think 2.5mg–5mg)
🔹 Balance with CBD, which can help tone down anxiety or paranoia
🔹 Microdosing is your friend if you want to stay functional and present
Pro tip: Edibles hit differently—be patient, give it at least 60–90 minutes before reaching for another gummy.
2. Choose the Right Strain for Your Mood
The type of cannabis you choose has a big impact on how you feel. For a mellow, feel-good vibe, look for:
☁️ Indica-Dominant Hybrids
Perfect for evening wind-downs, Netflix marathons, or a warm bath.
🌿 CBD-Rich Strains
Help reduce anxiety, inflammation, and tension—without the intense head high.
☀️ Light Sativas
Go for low-THC sativas if you want to feel uplifted and social without the jitters.
Ask your local budtender (that’s us!) about strains like Harlequin, ACDC, or Granddaddy Purple—chill favorites with calming energy.
3. Set the Vibe: Environment Matters
A mellow high isn’t just about what you smoke or eat—it’s about your space.
🧘♀️ Set the tone with some calming music
🕯️ Light a candle or burn some incense
🛋️ Get cozy—comfy clothes and blankets go a long way
You’re not just getting high—you’re creating a mini wellness ritual. Embrace it.
4. Pair It With a Mindful Activity
Once you’re feeling relaxed, lean into that mellow energy.
Try:
✔️ Gentle stretching or yoga
✔️ Nature walks
✔️ Journaling or creative writing
✔️ Listening to a podcast or vibey playlist
✔️ Deep breathing or guided meditation
Cannabis can enhance mindfulness, deepen your self-awareness, and bring more intention to your “me time.”
