Mango and marijuana, everything you need to know

The mango and marijuana myth now has a scientific explanation, and that theory we had that some foods can increase the psychotropic effects of cannabis has been proven to have a very logical explanation. Eating mango before or after smoking marijuana can create a synergy between the compounds of both so that we can feel more of the medicinal and psychoactive benefits of this plant, and in this article we are going to see the best way to combine them.

👾 The Science Behind the Relationship Between Mangoes and Weed

 

The crux of the question of why mango enhances the effect of marijuana lies in the chemical composition of this tasty fruit, since it contains a terpene that increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. For this reason, when mango is combined with marijuana, a greater amount of cannabinoids can reach the brain, since the blood-brain barrier limits the amount of toxic substances that enter. The terpene in question is myrcene, which is also the most common in cannabis and can be found in many commercial strains.

Thanks to the entourage effect, some varieties with a lower THC content can cause a more intense effect, as long as they contain a high concentration of myrcene. This shows that the relationship between mango and weed is not a myth, and having a certain amount of this terpene present in the body when you smoke cannabis facilitates the entry of THC and other compounds to the brain. If you want to know more about the entourage effect of marijuana, I recommend you read this article on our blog.

Another theory with good scientific basis is that myrcene is a positive allosteric modulator of cannabinoid receptors (CB). This means that myrcene could increase the activity of the CB1 and CB2 receptors, therefore they are more effective than other terpenes in this sense, therefore, by combining mango with weed, a better use of all the components of cannabis is achieved

🎯 Eat mango before consuming marijuana

The best way to take advantage of this curious effect is to eat a mango before smoking or vaporizing marijuana, especially if you have a slow metabolism, since in this way the body will have processed the fruit before cannabinoids and other compounds begin to enter. marijuana. People with a fast metabolism can eat mangoes or mango juice at the same time or even after consuming cannabis, but it is generally more interesting to eat before.

Mango also enhances the high of the marijuana effect because it is felt much faster, with greater euphoria, stimulation, and more intense psychoactivity. The duration of the effect can also be greatly increased, and this is very interesting because with less quantity you can feel the same effects, or you can directly reduce consumption while still feeling its effects.
