Enhancing your Marijuana High with the Mango: The Myrcene Terpene 118

Did you know that mangoes can enhance your Marijuana high? It may sound strange, but it all comes down to chemical interactions within your body.

Marijuana and mangoes both contain a terpene chemical called Myrcene. This chemical helps the psychoactives in Cannabis cross the blood-brain barrier more efficiently.

Lower quality strains of Marijuana generally do not have as much Myrcene as higher quality strains. So in order to enhance the quality of your weed, increase the amount of Myrcene in your body.

This is easily done by eating mangoes. Next time you’re at the grocery store, buy some and give it a shot. Mangoes also have various health benefits including: antioxidant & anticancer properties, good vitamin content, high iron content, and tryptophan – a precursor of serotonin.

To enhance your high:
Try eating a mango 60 minutes prior to smoking/vaping. When you are taking hits, the high should come on a lot quicker. The overall high should also be stronger and possibly longer lasting.

To enhance length of your high:
Get high, then eat a mango. Eating mangoes for munchies can definitely lengthen the amount of time being stoned. This is really nice for many of us with high tolerances to Marijuana.

Experiment:
Everyone is different. If 1 mango doesn’t do the trick, try 2 next time. Be creative – making a mango smoothie would be delicious and should speed up the delivery time to your bloodstream.

    Myrcene is also found in essential oils, particularly in black pepper essential oil – it’s in the 80% range.
    Buy a small bottle and either burn a couple of drops in an oil burner or just take a few good whiffs and the myrcene will hit your bloodstream nice and quick.

    You definitely need to be cautious if you haven’t had mango before. The mango and other fruits related to it harbor a toxin that a lot of humans have a sensitivity to. Sometimes it’s just the skin that irritates, but the meat can still cause a reaction if you’re allergic.

    There really should be a disclaimer in this article.

    FYI, Myrcene is at its highest concentration in overly ripe mangos.

  7. Doom Doom says:

    This actually works and makes a noticeable difference. Drank a mango smoothie 40 minutes before smoking and felt like I had finished a bowl after the first hit. 1 more reason to love mangoes
