259. Buzzy Strains to Keep You Energized, Part 4

Author: Ellen Scanlon September 17, 2024 Duration: 26:50
We’ve reached the final episode in our “good weed” series, and it's all about energizing strains! These THC-forward strains provide focused energy and creativity, making them perfect for social outings, brainstorming sessions, or even cutting back on coffee. Tune in to discover why strains like Sour Diesel and XJ-13 can be great alternatives to alcohol, and why starting slow is key to finding the right effects for you. “What is the experience like when you smoke it? Is it harsh? Are you coughing or is it a smooth experience where you really taste the flavors? It’s a smooth hit. High terpenes are going to make the experience kind of just last a little longer. Also, is there a resin ring around your joint while you’re smoking it? Does it go out a lot while you’re smoking it? Do you constantly have to relight it or is it just kind of lit the whole time? These are just kind of little qualifying things that I look for when I’m determining what’s good weed and what I want to put out there.” - Adriana Carlile If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 258, Essential Strains for Feeling Balanced, Part 3.

Ellen Scanlon’s How to Do the Pot is an award-winning conversation that demystifies cannabis with a focus on women’s experiences. This isn’t a technical manual or a dry lecture; it’s a space where curiosity meets practical, joyful advice. The podcast explores how cannabis can intersect with health, well-being, and daily life, tackling questions that often go unasked. You’ll hear specific discussions about finding the right strain for relaxation or intimacy, using CBD for menstrual discomfort, and the nuanced differences between varieties like Harlequin and Gelato. There’s a deliberate and thoughtful choice in language here, too, favoring the term “cannabis” over other outdated labels. At its heart, the series amplifies personal stories and expert insights, creating a resource that feels both informative and deeply relatable. Whether you’re seeking relief, exploring for fun, or just want to understand the landscape better, this podcast provides a welcoming and smart guide through the often overwhelming world of cannabis, all from a perspective that is genuinely for women and by women.
