Cannabis as a Gateway to Become Closer to Nature
Nature walks, gardening, meditation, and an appreciation for plant life all easily go hand in hand with cannabis use. Cannabis use can be that spark to spark up, or munch an edible and enjoy an afternoon at a botanical garden or forest. I like to consider 4:20 and 7:10 attitude adjustment times that can reveal and enhance the beauty of nature, providing an enrichment and happiness that cannabis can also stimulate.
Stopping to smell the flowers pertains to cannabis in a great way; with more strains to try than foods to eat, the smile on one's face when getting a whiff of quality cannabis is priceless. This opened a world of curiosity in me to the plant realm that is seemingly never ending. Cannabis has allowed me to be in the moment; the here and now while revering mother nature's infinite complexity. Cannabis can be a great tool for this, especially while meditating with the trough and crest of a wave on a beach beside the forest.
While cannabis use is not mandatory for becoming closer to nature, it certainly is an amazing tool and catalyst for doing so. Its ubiquity throughout human and botanical history only further shows its relevance and importance. Cannabis is an amazing part of nature that can continue to show its wonders.
