If you’re wondering why everyone seems to get affected by marijuana differently, there’s a lot more to it than its potency and type. Some may feel tired after using medical marijuana, while others may feel energetic.

Most people don’t understand that certain traits affect them differently and fewer still are aware of the factors that make their marijuana experience different. Today, let’s look into these factors to help you understand what makes your experience different from someone else.

1.     Tolerance to Marijuana

Your experience with marijuana will change the more you consume it. As your body is exposed to more cannabinoids, it becomes less sensitive to the effects. This means you’ll likely consume more.

Strains with less THC component are recommended for people with lower tolerance. Additionally, some people can alter the effects by consuming it orally which can elevate marijuana’s effects.

However, bad experiences can happen from consuming too much cannabis. So, once you are aware of how your mind and body react to marijuana, be sure to keep the dosage in check.

2.     Diet and Health Conditions

Your diet and health also play a significant role in how you’ll be affected by cannabinoids. Medical marijuana that’s required for treating illnesses will have a different effect compared to recreational marijuana.

Cannabis also just makes some chronically or terminally ill people feel normal, instead of inebriated. On the other hand, your diet is another important factor that will determine how marijuana will make you feel. Most cannabinoids like CBD and THC require fat to break down first. If you have a low fat diet you might not feel strong effects right away.

3.     Your Genes

Genetic traits also play a part in cannabis effects. There are several mutations that make THC less or more effective. For instance, people that naturally produce a large amount of cannabinoids, are generally less likely to enjoy medical cannabis.

Cannabis consumption can have a range of different effects depending on one’s genes. These include short-term memory loss, increase or decrease of appetite, anxiety or impairment. However, it’s hard to know exactly how marijuana will affect you initially.

Everyone has different traits that make their cannabis experience unique. Whether you enjoy it or not goes beyond taste and consumption, all these factors add to the experience as well.
