How many of you feel like quarantine has been a Spring Break from hell? Suddenly, you have too much time on your hands and any sort of routine has flown out the window. It only took a couple of weeks to realise that there's a fine line between free time and extreme boredom. But as we slowly inch closer to a sense of normalcy, it's back to the office grind for many of us. It's time to dust off that morning routine and get into the swing of things again. Break out the coffee! Or, better yet, one of these coffee-flavoured strains!
The Importance Of A Morning Routine
First and foremost, a morning routine allows you a moment of pause before you launch into a busy day. Take this moment to breathe, meditate, get your sweat on, and get some fresh air on a walk with your dog. You wouldn't run a marathon without stretching first, right? Think of your morning routine as a mental stretch. It helps to get your body going from your brain to your muscles to your digestive system.
Coffee's Popularity & Potential Problems
Fact: coffee is the most popular drink in the world, with more than 400 billion cups consumed each year. According to a survey on Reuters, commissioned by the National Coffee Association, "64 percent of Canadians drink a cup of coffee every day." Needless to say, coffee is very much a part of our morning routine. And if it's not coffee, it's another source of caffeine, such as English Breakfast tea, chai, or matcha.
The problem with caffeine, however, is that it can lead to unwanted side effects. Too much of anything is never a good thing, even when it comes to coffee and marijuana. With caffeine, in particular, overindulgence can cause
- Insomnia
- Nausea/Vomiting
- Nervousness
- Restlessness
- Increased heart rate/Breathing rate
Not to mention, some find coffee's natural flavour offputting (hence why these over-the-top café drinks are so popular). Who really needs a loaded Frappuccino at 8 in the morning?!
Benefits Of Coffee-Flavoured Strains
Hate to break this to you, but coffee is a drug. A naturally-occurring drug, but still a drug. A natural stimulant, if you will. So while we're on the topic of drugs, let's talk about marijuana! Another form of medicine provided by Mother Nature. With coffee-flavoured strains, you get all the same marijuana benefits without the potential side effects we mentioned earlier.
Minus the caffeine, these strains can provide users with a natural cerebral boost. It may help you feel more creative, motivated, inspired, and alive from the inside out. Everyone knows that marijuana acts as a stimulant with the right strain. It can wake you up in the mornings and start your day on the right foot.
Where To Buy Coffee-Flavoured Strains
We haven't even told you the best news yet. You can buy these delicious strains right here, at Pacific Seed Bank Canada. No need to go anywhere or search the internet. You've come to the right place. We recommend the following strains for a tasty coffee (and sometimes chocolatey) flavour…
Don't these strains sound more like dessert than actual weed? It's amazing to think that so many flavours and aromas come from a single plant. Even if you don't like coffee, you can find the flavour of your choice at Pacific Seed Bank Canada.
The Best Strains For Your Mornings
Coffee flavourings aside, we recommend sativa strains as part of your morning routine. You don't necessarily have to choose one with a coffee aroma but do pick one that leans more on the sativa side. An indica strain early in the day might lead to laziness, lethargy, and couch-lock. Not exactly the sensations you want to have before an important meeting. In the marijuana community, we have what you call "wake and bake" strains. This group was designed to give users the drive they need as soon as they step out of bed.
