Scary Mommy’s Guide To Finding Serenity & Relaxation

Considering Cannabis?

Join the club. Millions of moms are asking questions and exploring the benefits of cannabis use — and we’re going to help you go from curiously considering to confidently consuming.

First off, it’s important to remember that no two people will experience cannabis exactly the same way. We’re here to point you in the right direction with some starter tips, but there’s so much more to learn, if you want to.

THC vs. CBD

You’ve probably heard these initials pretty often. In technical terms, THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol and CBD stands for cannabidiol. Here’s what’s important to you:

THC is the compound most commonly associated with a euphoric sensation.
CBD is considered “non-psychotropic” (so you won’t really feel a high), and you’ll see it in everything from drinks to creams and ointments.

What’s Your Type?

Cannabis plants come in infinite varieties, which fall into three main subspecies: Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis. (And hybrids that combine them). To start with, it’s easiest to focus on:

Sativas

Tend to provide a euphoric, head-forward, cerebral high that’s the less sedating variety. You’ll hear words like uplifting and inspiring from sativa fans who use it when starting a project, or settling in for a giggly chat with a friend. (Remember it like this: sativa/achieve-a)

Indica

Commonly provides more of a body high, with calming, soothing attributes. Indica fans often use it to wind down at the end of the night, without worrying about a hangover headache when they wake up. (Remember it like this: indica/in da couch)

Hybrids

A combo and balance of the effects of sativa and indica, witha wider range of effects coming into play, based on the ratios of each. (Think of a hybrid car. Sometimes it’s using energy to speed up, and sometimes it’s just coasting!) medicinal markets, depending on the extraction process. It’s also known as “hemp,” which you’ll see in clothing, textiles, etc.
