mangoes and marijuanaMangos Increase, Strengthen, And Even Lengthen The Euphoric Feelings Felt After Smoking Marijuana

By Big Buddha

Summary: The chemical compounds that have been found within mangos have been discovered by science to be able to increase, strengthen, and even lengthen the euphoric feelings felt after smoking marijuana. This is great news for the marijuana community for both recreational smokers and medicinal smokers as they both now have a healthy alternative snack to turn towards during their munchies.

Lately it seems that both the science community and the marijuana community have been falling into the same category. This is great news for both medical marijuana patients and recreational marijuana smokers alike! Of course it’s common knowledge that medical marijuana does exist and that it is a great natural remedy for aches, pains, and various ailments. And of course recreational marijuana smokers do enjoy the euphoric feelings of the herbal supplement as opposed to the feelings of intoxication caused by alcohol or liquor. So naturally marijuana is a safe alternative to most sinful pleasures as well it is a perfect organic solution to the stresses and pains of life. So here is a little secret that the science community has recently discovered for the marijuana community: Eating fresh mangos or even drinking a fresh mango smoothie one hour prior to smoking will dramatically increase the euphoric feelings felt by marijuana and help medical marijuana patients to ease their pain even more so.

This is because a chemical compound known as myrcene terpenes, which is most often used for fragrances, can be found within cannabis and marijuana as well as many other various plants such as lemon grass, hops, and of course mangos. This is why these types of plants of such rare and unique types of odors and aromas. Once ingested the chemical compound, or myrcene terpenes, assists the psychoactive substance THC by allowing it to pass through the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) at much faster speeds with much more efficiency. The time it takes for the THC to have an effect on the brain after inhalation is roughly seven seconds however, by eating a mango up to one hour prior to smoking the time it takes for THC to reach the brain and have an effect could be cut in half. As well as the length of the high and its time duration could be up to twice as long.

Individuals who have eaten a mango, digested it, and then smoked have also noted that the euphoric feelings felt by marijuana are alarmingly much more intense. This is perfect for medical marijuana patients who would like an increased amount of pain relief or for recreational marijuana smokers who just want to get even higher than before. It is important to also note the different speeds in metabolism for those who are attempting to try this experiment. This is because individuals who have faster metabolisms may need to ingest a bit more than those who do not have as fast of a metabolism as well as individuals with slower metabolisms may need to ingest a mango or mango smoothie up to an hour and a half prior to smoking. This will help ensure that the myrcene terpenes found within mangos have been properly digested and will have an effect.

What else is great about this interesting scientific fact is eating mangos is another great way for the human body to receive additional amounts of vitamins and nutrition and it helps individuals avoid eating foods that are high in cholesterol or trans fats. Eating too many fatty foods when the ‘munchies’ occur can be harmful and even detrimental to an individual’s health. So be sure to stay healthy and to eat healthy whether smoking marijuana recreationally or medicinally.

      Hell ya it would be, it’s gunna revalutionize the indistry

  • Stoner Crab

    I’ve tried this before and it works very well, you get higher and enjoy the high better as well. The riper the better. Myrcene is in other foods as well, like hops and lemongrass. This works better with lower grade bud – MJ has its own myrcene but only the premium stuff has enough to utilize the buds full potential, the rest need a bit of a boost from Mr. Mango

  • nygratefulfred@hotmail.com

    guess I will try eating some Mangos and see what happens!

  • offday

    I had my first mango while in thailand, after smoking that fine fine thai stick from the 70s. I couldn’t believe how good that mango was.
    I never noticed if i got higher after eating one but I will be looking into it as it’s a favorite fruit.

  • Focusonpeace

    I love mangos! But i seriously dont recall mangos prolonging my cannabis high. I guess now its been said every stoner will be conscience of it now.

  • RuffianHaze

    I guess this Myrcene Terpene presence in hops explains why a lot of beers smell like cannabis when opened (bottled beer I’ve usually found)

    • numbness2005

      funny you should say that actuall, me and a friend were discussing the smell of a freshly cracked bottle of Stella Artois the other day and both came to the conclsuion that it smelt very skunky lol

    Mangoes are related to poison ivy so don’t pick them in the wild

    hi
    try the mango 1.00 drink can sold and most grocery stores and small stores like 7-eleven.
    It works and it works well, most people these dayz are not selling less than midz any way so it works even with high grade…
    And the can mango drink works well…

    All IS Good for Ya!!

    How about dried mango? Dried mango might be the best snack known to man.

    • Tyler

      I realize this is an old post, but hopefully you will receive an email update or something. Dried mango would not work. The terpenes are most common when the plant matter is fresh. This is why old marijuana tends to lose some of its strength, as it ages, it loses terpenes. Now, this can be countered by simply eating fresh mango with your old bud

    • Brodibud

      You can smoke dry mango it makes a lot of smoke! Chop and sprinkle on top of your bowl

  • mozyk

    how about a MANGO BONG :P

    Good to know!!

  • maryjane

    Anyone looking for more info on the effects of aroma and smell on the high should check out Big Book of Buds vol 3 – there’s a great essay on terpenes as the Secret Chemistry of High. Myrcene isn’t the only trigger to higher high.

  • Komar

    Do you think a Weed Milk would be increased too? or is it just for the smoke use of marijeanne?? Thx for answering .

  • http://www.facebook.com/james.curry.1297 James Curry

    Time to go get some mangos

  • http://www.facebook.com/linda.yelvington Linda Yelvington

    I am not a vaporizer fan due to the loss of terpine enjoyment that comes from a fruity bowl but not a vape bag – good to know that fruity terpine enjoyment is indigenous to some fruits, too!

  • Burlwood Barry

    apparently Ween has known about this for some time, as their song “Mango Woman” talking about smoking a spliff, etc. http://youtu.be/UP-X_uffOwA

  • Miles Monroe

    Both mangos and ganja originate from the same region of Southeast Asia.
    Coincidence?
    We think not.

  • huj

    Science?is there a science source?lol science says

  • Brodibud

    Be careful and do not underestimate mangoes! I have done this. It does work! I drank 2 glasses of mango nectar am hour before and while I was smoking I eased the burn with more mango juice. I Had barely finished my first come before the trips and effect began to kick in. It was very intense and euphoric. I do not recommend eating or drinking mango related items because this will get you higher and if you are already up its like drinking alcohol when you are already drunk. Keeping in mind that I am small build and have a fast metabolism I peaked for close to 3 hours and I didn’t feel sleepy or hungry I was too tripped out to move or focus on anything else
