Honey Bee and Relationships

 Hello! Next up is Honey Bee.

    This strain is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain. I tried this strain for the first time last night. It was a self-care night so que the bubble-bath, facemask, and speaker. It was comprised on 0.31% THC, 21.36% THCA, 0% CBD, and 0% CBDA. Being a sativa-dominant, it would affect my mind more intensely than my body. I always try to have a notebook nearby when I smoke sativas because of the funny and rarely philosophical thoughts that need recording. 

    There isn't much reported for this strain, but I found that it helps with fatigue, uplifts your mood, with a slight body sensation, lightly orgasmic. When I opened the container, the scent of sweetness and earth filled my nostrils. Taking a deep breath, I could smell the fruity aroma. Ground, it looks like a mosaic with all the different shades of green. 

    I smoked it out of my 1 percolator bong with a freshly cleaned bowl. This strain packed so well, it wasn't too packed that it feels heavy when you inhale, but not harsh like if you barely pack it down. After taking that first hit, sit back, and take a deep breath, once you empty your lungs, you'll feel the effects take place.

    I tried this strain for the first time last night. It was a self-care night so que the bubble-bath, facemask, and speaker. Just finishing leg-day, I sank into the hot water slowly letting the heat brush up my sides and stomach, eventually letting my hair and neck dip in. This week was a hectic at work and I was feeling burnt out. I wasn't feeling a smoke at the time. I just wanted to be mindful of my body, to relax and just release my awareness so I could just...exist. 

    For those who prefer to have their legs shaven, you know the feeling of dipping your freshly shaven leg into the hot water, almost as good as putting your freshly moisturized leg in soft pajamas. I just needed to exist and feel my best. I got ready for the night and I just wanted to have everything ready for relaxation. I sat in my chair with my hair wrapped in buns and I turned on my computer.

    Lately, I've been playing Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, and I usually play at night. So I'm playing some games and feel like my reaction time slow the more my high set in. Now, I'm not a good player, I'll admit that; I'm new the gaming world compared to the rest of my peers, but it's a new part of myself that I'm exploring. So, that being said, I wasn't doing very well, but I was feeling so good, I didn't care.

    Sitting in my chair, I could feel my triceps contract as I type and move my mouse. Little muscle spasms run up and down my leg in a chill-like orgasmic manor. My mind taking a road trip through the country side, so to speak.

    Jokes are funnier, flavors are more intoxicating, and your thoughts feel more meaningful, although I can't speak to the actuality of the meaningfulness in any way. It's a nice journey, not too harsh, not too strong, and well balanced.

    I remember lying in bed and feeling my thoughts flow down the laziest river. My thoughts were more fluid and free-flowing, but my mouth felt dry with a light layer of candy-like honey dissolving onto your tongue. I feel that again now, as I write this since I just took a hit off my freshly packed bowl. I'm watching the documentary, Americans in Bed, about different relationships and how they view love, sex, and companionship. 

    The diversity, although can always be better, I felt that succeeded in asking different couples when it came to belief and sexual orientation. My goal is to be a sex therapist in the future and what is sex but a different kind of relationship. I took a few relationship psychology classes when I was in college and it helped me mature myself in regards to intimate relationships and where I stood with them. Knowing the expectations attached to relationships, put there by history, positively affected my current relationship, helping me and SO grow together and explore a deeper aspect of the other. 

    Relationships are a wonderfully frustrating thing, because no relationship is without your perception of the relationship, almost like the phrase, "There's 3 sides to every story, person 1's, person 2's, and the truth." The more you grow as a person, the more you experience sonder, and I saw that in Americans in Bed

    For most of the time I was seeking partnership I wasn't experiencing sonder as often or as deeply as I can now. I gripped onto the unbeknown sex/gender roles that devastate our society but struggled with not feeling the happiness I was promised and being disappointed. I expected too much from others, I expected there to be a certain standard that needs to be met, because in that mindset, the other person isn't a really a person in the moment, but something that can be controlled. I'm not ashamed of where I was because I think we all need to experience learning that in their own time; I have respect for that experience, it's very humbling. 

    Now, with SO he's taught me so much about relationships, and I think I've taught him about relationships too. It's nice to know that I can be open and honest with someone learning about the human condition together. I know what it's like to have relationship awareness and I know what it's like to not. If you ever get the chance, read the book Great Myths of Intimate Relationships: Dating, Sex, and Marriage (2016), by Matthew Johnson. 

    I think the biggest challenge for me is my tendency to be defensive with any level of confrontation. I'd love to read your biggest challenges in relationships, and hopefully have a conversation while flying high on honey bee.

Obligatory Introductory Post

Hello!  Welcome to I Want What She's Smoking, the cannabis review blog from a stoner's mind. Currently, I'm waiting for a sativa edible to sink in, so this is the perfect time to get into the zone regarding actually starting the blog that I promised myself I would make.     This blog purports to review various cannabis products, specifically flower, from the state of someone who is experiencing the effects of the product, a cannabis review from the mind of a stoner; what thoughts, feelings, and physical experiences that come with each product. Now, I'm just one individual and the way some cannabis products effect my psychological and physical state are somewhat unique and may not adequately portray others' experiences, so I encourage any reader to comment their experiences as to obtain the complete picture of a cannabis product.      I plan to organize my posts based on the following formula: Basic product information Qualities Consumption Context Experienc...

Smoking, Science, and Spirituality

Hello!      Since I've been puffing pot, I've had instances where my high self is overwhelmed with curiosity. When you're high, your thoughts seem very insightful and deep, even though they rarely are insightful and deep. You wonder about things in the world and your brain makes some connections that feel new and intriguing!     One of these instances had an unexpected impact on me. The first instance of this new hobby came in the Summer of 2019. My partner, SO, and I were trying out a trial run at living together. He had a Summer lease in his school-owned apartment and I had my apartment near my university, but worked in the town he was located so I stayed with him. We had been dating an hour away for the majority of our relationship and were, for a lack of a better term, testing our relationship and compatibility. We decided to use the Summer as a trial run for living together. With both of us taking Summer classes and working, our Summer was pretty busy, but ...
