In or Out


There are numerous types of marijuana strains that are readily available to purchase and consume by the typical smoker. All of these types of strains range in potency, smell, taste, color, and consequently, the after effects of smoking this substance. Many smokers believe that all marijuana is basically the same and do not take into account that these different strains affect the body in different ways. There are two different base-strains of marijuana that are essential in differentiating what effect that this substance will have on your body: outdoor grown marijuana and indoor grown marijuana. The question is: which strain is safer for the average consumer?
The most common noted side effect of marijuana is the psychoactive traits that this substance places on your mind. This is mostly known as being “high,” and applies to the cognitive functionality of your brain. The way you think, act, and process information is affected greatly is a result of the levels of THC that is found in Marijuana. Although you will find THC in both outdoor and indoor grown marijuana, the strain that is going to release the most psychoactive traits on the cognitive mind is the outdoor grown marijuana. Marijuana that is grown outdoors is not regulated by the grower nearly as much as marijuana that is grown indoors because of third-party influences. One third party influence is the element of nature. Elements of nature include acid rain and animals rummaging through the plants and possibly releasing urine into the soil. The other third party influence comes from the introduction of widespread insecticides and other drugs that are placed through the air and soil by crop dusters. These elements greatly alter the psychoactive traits of the outdoor marijuana. These altered effects are most notable when consumers experience severe paranoia and show characteristics of scared behavior that turns the whole idea of smoking into a negative time.
Indoor grown marijuana is more closely regulated by the grower because of the absence of the elements of nature and third-party crop dusting. Because of this, growers are able to alter the strains to produce more CBD than THC within the strain of marijuana. CBD is a cannabinoid that is found in marijuana that releases the more medicinal qualities of the substance such as reducing anxiety, increasing appetite, and relieving body pain. Indoor grown marijuana that has high levels of CBD are more commonly used in the production and distribution of medical marijuana as a way to help people who have severe medical issues.
I have smoked both indoor and outdoor grown marijuana for years now and I always come to the same conclusion. In order for me to enjoy the substance, I prefer to purchase and use indoor grown marijuana because I enjoy the medicinal purposes of anxiety reduction and pain relief. When I smoke outdoor grown marijuana, I experience more frequent paranoia and stress, which is the exact opposite of why I wanted to smoke in the first place. If you are a smoker who prefers the relaxation of the body when smoking as opposed the cognitive mind games that can play tricks on you, I would propose to smoke marijuana that is grown indoors.

  1. Have you ever experimented with different delivery mechanisms? For example, ingestion vs inhalation. Like when mixed into brownies. Yum.

    (Although this does cause a dosage issue when you get the munchies and do not have any other food readily available...)
