WHAT ARE THE FOODS THAT INCREASE THE EFFECTS OF THC?
When most stoners think of food in relation to marijuana, they think of the cravings (munchies) they get when they’re high.

But did you know that there are certain foods (and beverages) that actually increase the effects of THC? In other words, you can kill two birds with one stone: satisfy your cravings and enhance your high! Following is a list of some of those foods:
Mangoes
The effects mangoes have on THC are due to their high myrcene content. Myrcene is a terpene that’s responsible for the aroma and flavor of cannabis – and it also enhances the interaction with cannabinoids. Eating a mango 30 minutes to an hour before smoking will not only increase your high, but will also make it come on faster and last longer. Mangoes are also amazingly healthy, so why not enhance your high and improve your health at the same time?

Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are known to be one of the top mood-boosting foods due to their high level of vitamins E and B, which help produce serotonin in the brain. If you’re smoking weed to help treat depression, sweet potatoes are especially helpful to boost your mood and bring on a strong sense of euphoria. Even if you’re not smoking weed to treat depression, they’re still a great mood enhancer!

Broccoli
Weed and broccoli already look similar, so it’s no wonder that they make a perfect pairing! Broccoli is naturally abundant in beta-caryophyllene content, which works directly with cannabinoid receptors to reduce pain and inflammation. Eating just a few ounces of broccoli before you medicate with Mary Jane will enhance the pain-relieving properties of whatever strain you’re smoking. Steaming, sautéing or roasting your broccoli will offer even more relief.

Chocolate
Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, has long been known to improve one’s mood and elicit feelings of euphoria. That’s because chocolate is high in anandamide, which is the same chemical compound found in cannabis that’s known to produce feelings of euphoria. As a result, consuming chocolate before or during your high provides the perfect blend with your bud!

Nuts
Nuts are high in omega-3s, which speed up the effect you feel by binding to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain. If you’re into edibles, nuts are especially helpful, because they’ll help decrease the time it takes your high to kick in. They’ll also make it last longer!

Herbs
The terpene called pinene is naturally present in herbs like sage and thyme and is known to increase cannabinoid absorption that allows cannabis to pass through the blood brain barrier much faster. This will make your high come on quicker and increase the time it lasts. For medicinal purposes, lemongrass, lemon basil and lemon thyme are high in limonene content, which can help reduce anxiety, stress or depression. And if you’re ever too high and want to come down, black pepper is known to almost instantly counteract any cannabis-anxiety you may be feeling.

Curry
- Eating curry, especially a rich, coconut milk Thai curry, is one of the most mood- enhancing foods you can eat before smoking. Curry is heavy on herbs, spices and good fats that increase the effects on terpene so much and so fast that it can sometimes feel like your high is twice as strong!

Green Tea
High in antioxidants, green tea protects the heart, promotes bone health, helps prevent lung cancer, and may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. It’s also high in catechin, an antioxidant that has a particular affinity with CB1 receptors in the brain. When combined with cannabis, green tea can increase the feeling of peace and relaxation. And if you don’t like green tea, black tea is also high in catechin, which is a great alternative to enhance your high.

Coffee
Weedballin’, or combining cannabis and caffeine, is the performance drug combo choice for many. In addition to combining the arousing aroma of coffee with the pungent odor of smoke on a sensory level, there are deeper chemical reactions that can prolong energy and creativity. So try a little java with your joint today!

Beer
Drinking a beer is always sure to give you an extra cannabis high. Not only does the alcohol magnify the effects of THC (sometimes three times over), but beer is loaded with terpenes from hops, which is a close cousin of cannabis. Just one beer can make you feel higher, and a quality Indian Pale Ale (IPA), where hops is the dominant flavor, is loaded with limonene and pinene that will make you less anxious and inhibited.
