Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis that makes you feel high. Usually, when you hear “weed,” the first thing that comes to mind is that it gets people stoned. However, there is more to this substance than the high it gives its consumers. For example, THC and meditation can connect to enhance your inner peace.
Cannabis can help reduce stress and depression and prevent anxiety. Also, many cannabis users have reported enjoying deepened experiences while meditating with THC. Cannabis meditation is becoming a thing, and it is good to understand what it is about. Let’s explore the effects of using THC in meditation and the best cannabis strains for the practice.
About Meditation
The exact origin of meditation is not known. However, it is an ancient practice with written evidence that dates as far back as 1500 BCE in India. It is a technique that helps to sharpen one’s focus, connect to the body, and even alter consciousness. Meditation also helps to create inner calm, peace, mindfulness, and harmony.
Types of Meditation
There are many ways to practice meditation, and it is best to find the type that meets your needs. Popular types of meditation include:
Spiritual meditation: In spiritual meditation, you focus on spiritual growth and a deeper sense of connection to a higher spiritual force.
Mindfulness meditation: Here, you combine concentration with awareness. You focus on your thoughts, feelings, and other sensations, to simply observe and take note of them.
Movement meditation: In movement meditation, gentle forms of movement guide you to connect deeply with your body. Yoga is the most common form of this kind of meditation.
Focused meditation: Focused meditation involves focusing on something with any of the five senses. It helps you sharpen your focus and attention.
Transcendental meditation: In transcendental meditation, you quieten your mind to experience a state of peace and calm.
Mantra meditation: Here, you use repetitive sounds or chants to be in tune with the present.
The Effects of Using THC with Meditation
Cannabis is usually used to relax and elevate the mind. When you take it before meditating, it can help boost your consciousness. There are times when you want to meditate but your mind keeps wandering away. Smoking cannabis can help you quiet your mind so you can meditate effectively. Also, taking cannabis before meditation can help you gain insight and connect more with your spiritual side.
Tips for THC and Meditation
It is easy to include cannabis in your meditation practice. Whether you are a newbie or an expert, these tips will make your routine seamless.
1. Get Comfortable

2. Wait Till It Kicks In
It is good practice to wait for the effect of the cannabis you’ve taken to kick in before you start meditating. Once you notice its sensations in your body, take in deep and slow breaths to initiate your reflective moment.
3. Follow A Guide
It is important to follow a guide, especially if you’ve not meditated with THC before. There are many people out there that are skillful in the practice. You can make a quick search for “guided THC meditation” on Google or Youtube. You will find many results. Also, you can look out for a community of people that engage in the routine.
4. Be Patient
There really is no right or wrong way to meditate with THC, you must be patient with yourself. It might take you some time to figure out the THC meditation rhythm that suits your person. You could try out different types of meditation using various cannabis strains. Take note of the method you enjoyed the most to discover what helps you personally.
Best Cannabis Strains for Meditation
One important step on your THC and meditation journey is your decision on the cannabis strain you want to use. In practice, you might have to experiment to find your preference. However, below are the common strains and the best time to use them.
Sativa Strains
Sativa strains and Sativa-dominant hybrids are ideal if you want to be alert and focused while meditating. Sativas are usually energizing and are a good option if you want a rush of energy.
Indica Strains
If you want to feel more relaxed while meditating, you can use Indicas. They are usually calming and sedating in their effect. To experience calm and tranquility while meditating, Indicas would serve you well.
THC and Meditation Is Not A Must
Keep in mind that THC and meditation are not compulsory for everyone. While some people have an ecstatic meditation experience with cannabis, some have no significant difference when they smoke it. To determine the category you fall under, you can try out meditating with and without cannabis to decide the experience that works best.
There are many mental and emotional health benefits associated with meditation. It honestly is not surprising to see that more people are integrating it into their daily routines. If you are thinking about including THC in your meditation routine, it is best to start in low doses to understand how it affects you. You can then work your way up with time. Ultimately, it is up to you to adopt what works best for your body and mind.
