Does hybrid weed get you high?

Hybrid weed, like any cannabis, can get you high if you consume too much. When consumed in low doses, hybrid cannabis offers a balanced experience, combining the relaxing properties of indica with the uplifting qualities of sativa. 

Too much of any type of weed can lead to a more intense and overwhelming high. To enjoy the benefits of hybrid weed without getting stoned, stick to the suggested doses and choose the most reliable methods of consumption—such as our low-dose THC edibles.

Our gummies and cannabis-infused beverages contain microdoses of THC, which allows you to experience the perks of cannabis without getting too high.

What does hybrid weed make you feel?

Hybrid cannabis strains offer an enjoyable experience without impairment or negative side effects when consumed in microdoses. Hybrid strains are created by crossing sativa and indica genetics. Sativas are known for their uplifting, cerebral, and energizing effects, while indicas provide relaxing and sedating body effects. Hybrids combine the therapeutic benefits of both, offering a balanced experience.

When you consume hybrid cannabis products, you may experience:

• A relaxed yet uplifted state of mind
• Stress and anxiety relief
• Increased focus and creative inspiration
• Mild pain relief
• Appetite stimulation
• Reduced nausea
• Improved sleep quality
• A gentle energy boost
• An overall pleasant and balanced high

The way a hybrid strain impacts you is shaped by the entourage effect. The entourage effect refers to the synergistic interaction between cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis, which work together to enhance the therapeutic benefits and modulate the psychoactive effects. The entourage effect of the hybrid strains allows for a balanced high by combining the cerebral properties of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with the calming effects of cannabidiol (CBD). This balance reduces the risk of intense and impairing highs, mitigating THC's potential anxiety or paranoia while providing a more controlled and pleasant experience. 

We can’t forget about the unique terpene profiles of hybrid strains that influence the overall experience. Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinctive aromas while contributing their own therapeutic properties. Baron, et. al. found that terpenes such as caryophyllene and myrcene were preferred by headache and migraine patients because of their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. 

This synergy of cannabinoids and terpenes working together is what allows hybrids to give you an elevated but relaxed high. If you really want to experience this potent synergy and relaxing effects of cannabis, try our Bliss Delta 9 edibles. They are perfectly balanced with 5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD to relax your body and clear your mind.

“I only bite off 1/4 of one and it's enough to take the edge off without feeling too "blissful." They taste good and arrive on time.”

What factors influence a hybrid weed high?

Because hybrid cannabis blends the unique properties of indica and sativa, the effects you will feel are influenced by many factors: 

• Sativa-dominant hybrid strains provide more cerebral, uplifting, and energizing effects, making them ideal for daytime use or social activities. The presence of sativa genetics can enhance creativity and focus, providing a mentally stimulating experience. 
• Indica-dominant hybrids offer more relaxing, sedative effects, suitable for evening use or stress relief. They alleviate pain and insomnia, so they may be better suited for unwinding after a long day and for enhancing sleep quality.
• Balanced hybrids provide an even mix of both sativa and indica effects, blending mental and physical relaxation. They are versatile, suitable for both daytime and nighttime use. Users experience a smooth transition between uplifting and calming effects.
• The ratio of THC to CBD affects the high. Higher THC content results in more potent cerebral effects, such as euphoria and creativity. Higher CBD content can enhance relaxation, reduce anxiety, and counteract some of the potentially psychoactive effects of THC.
• Terpenes are aromatic compounds that influence the aroma, flavor, and effects of hybrid strains. For instance, myrcene is known for its sedative properties, aiding in relaxation and sleep. Limonene is associated with elevated mood and stress relief, adding a citrusy aroma to the strain. 
• Cannabis consumption methods alter the onset and duration of effects. Smoking or vaping provides a quicker onset but a shorter duration of effects. Our gummies and THC drinks offer a more prolonged experience than smoking, although the effects of gummies kick in after 30 minutes to two hours.
• Your tolerance to cannabis impacts how hybrid weed affects you. Frequent users may require higher doses to achieve the desired effects due to desensitized cannabinoid receptors. Inexperienced users should start with lower doses to avoid overwhelming effects and to gauge their tolerance levels.
• Body chemistry also plays a role in how hybrid weed affects users. Each person’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) reacts differently to cannabinoids, with effects varying based on metabolism, body weight, and overall health.
• The setting in which you consume hybrid weed can greatly influence your experience. A comfortable, familiar, and stress-free environment can enhance positive effects and overall enjoyment. A stressful or unfamiliar environment may exacerbate anxiety or paranoia.
• What you eat and drink before consuming cannabis can impact the onset and intensity of the effects. A well-balanced diet and proper hydration can maintain a steady metabolism, influencing how quickly cannabinoids are absorbed. Consuming cannabis on an empty stomach may lead to quicker onset but more intense effects.

Whether you're seeking stress relief, enhanced creativity, or a balanced high, there's likely a hybrid strain suited to your needs. The key to enjoying hybrid weed is finding the right strain and dose for you. It may take you some time and experimentation to discover your ideal hybrid, even if you're an experienced cannabis user. 

Our delectable THC gummies simplify this process, letting you adjust the amount gradually until you reach your perfect balance. Experience a harmonious blend of energy and relaxation with our Energy gummies, infused with refreshing blood orange flavor. Each gummy contains a precise ratio of 2.5mg THC and 5mg CBD for an optimal experience every time.

Are there any side effects of hybrid weed?

Like any cannabis product, hybrids can have negative side effects when you consume doses that exceed your tolerance level. When enjoyed in smaller, personalized doses, hybrid cannabis strains deliver a harmonious blend of effects, unlocking a world of medicinal and leisurely advantages without overwhelming the senses.

The side effects of too much hybrid cannabis are not life-threatening, but they can be uncomfortable. They include:

• Intense anxiety and paranoia
• Dizziness and nausea
• Dry mouth and eyes
• Increased appetite
• Mood swings or irritability
• Impaired coordination and judgment
• Extreme drowsiness and fatigue
• Short-term memory impairment
• Confusion and disorientation
• Headaches

Hybrids have different effects on different people. What works perfectly for one person might cause anxiety or paranoia in another. To bypass these negative effects, stick to microdosing cannabis. Start with a low dose and gradually increase it until you find the optimal amount that provides the desired effects without any unwanted side effects.
