With many folks returning to college this Fall, the question of how to focus is on many people’s minds. For some, the answer may be cannabis.
Cannabis has been shown to help with focus in several ways. In fact, it could help people with ADHD. A small 2020 study of 112 adult ADHD patients found those who took a higher dose of medical cannabis (like CBD) took fewer other ADHD medications.
If you’re interested in using cannabis to improve your focus, there are a few things to keep in mind. This article will give you an overview of cannabis, focus and tips on choosing the right strain and delivery method.
Cannabis and Focus: How Does Cannabis Improve Focus?
Cannabis strains that are high in THC can help to increase cerebral blood flow and improve the function of the hippocampus, both of which are important for cognitive function and memory. CBD-rich strains may also help to improve focus by reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.
Cannabis can also help improve sleep quality, essential for maintaining focus during the day.
What Are the Best Cannabis Strains for Improving Focus?
Many different cannabis strains can be effective for improving focus. Some of the best strains include:
- Green Crack: This sativa-dominant strain is known for its energizing and uplifting effects. It can help to increase focus and concentration.
- Harlequin: This CBD-rich strain is perfect for those who want the focus-enhancing benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects.
- Durban Poison: This potent sativa strain is known for improving mental clarity and focus.
Ask your budtender for recommendations for other cannabis strains that can help you focus. And remember to start with a low dose until you find the perfect amount for you.
What Is the Best Way to Consume Cannabis for Improving Focus?
The best way to consume cannabis to improve focus will vary depending on your individual needs and preferences. Some people prefer to smoke or vape cannabis, while others prefer to consume edibles or tinctures.
First, start with a low dose and see how you feel. Everyone responds differently to cannabis, so finding the dose that works for you is crucial.
- If you’re smoking or vaping cannabis, start with a small puff and wait a few minutes to see how you feel before taking more.
- If you’re consuming an edible, give it at least an hour to take effect before taking more. Edibles can be very potent, so it’s critical to start slow.
You can also ask your budtender for recommendations on which strains or products might be best for improving focus. They can help you find the perfect product for your needs.
All in all, cannabis can be a great way to improve focus and concentration. However, as we said, you need to start with a low dose and increase as needed to find the perfect amount.
