The holiday season is coming whether I like it or not just as the deadline for this article and my male pattern baldness. I can’t help but think that I’m not alone in thinking, “what the hell is 2020 gonna do
to it?”
I say to this year, you can have the same 40 Christmas songs played on repeat in every store. Keep the mass consumption and the overall commercialism of the whole thing. I’ve always been more of a Thanksgiving guy anyway.
Being thankful and surrounded by food, family and friends has more of a cannabis vibe to it anyways.
It’s funny how the push and pull of the holiday season feels like the manic personality of this year. The year we have come to love and hate. The calm and the chaos of a Thanksgiving day spent demanding that our kids be grateful for everything that they have before we lay them down to bed just to go out the next morning at 4:30am and drop kick a total stranger to buy them more does not feel right to me.
Regardless of how my family spends their holidays, 2020 can have chaos and we’ll keep calm. Terpene profiles are very important when trying to stay in front of anxiety. Linalool, Myrcene and Caryophyllene are three terpenes that can help.
- Linalool: Anti-anxiety
Muscle relaxant
Strains: Lilac Cookies, Hibiscus, Sour Diesel - Myrcene: Sedative
Relieves Stress
Strains: Blue Dream, Northern Lights, Alien OG - Caryophyllene: Anti-depressant
Muscle relaxant
Strains: GG4, Chemdawg, OG Kush
It’s been a rough year for everyone and we’re all stressed, and have been stressed. So remember this DAMNIT, whether you’re passing the garlic mashed potatoes to grandma or the Hindu Kush to grandpa, just take what you need baby and pass it to the left.
Take care of each other, folks.
