Do you feel lost? Detached from social life and the habits you were so used to? You’re not alone. Millions feel the same way. The pandemic has upended our routines and made life uncomfortable at best. The pressures of social distancing and isolation of remote work with the lack of simple facial expressions and lack of a smiling face due to the mask requirement. Now that these mandates have been lifted, society must once again adapt. We need to reconnect and get used to face-to-face communication, but that can be uncomfortable given the past two years of upheaval.

But don’t worry – cannabis can help you restore social norms. Here are a few ways cannabis can improve your social skills.

Cannabis improves verbal episodic memory.

A study published in ScienceDirect showed that CBD can improve verbal episodic memory. Verbal episodic memory is the ability to remember what others have said. Obviously, this type of reminder can help you in many ways such as: B. If you are desensitized to face-to-face social interaction. If you work alone at home and only interact with your computer every day, you may not be used to hearing and processing text the way you were before the pandemic. You may have to spend a lot of time processing what someone said, leading to awkward conversations that you have trouble keeping up with.

Well, that’s where marijuana comes in.

Cannabidiol can improve your verbal episodic memory and help you process verbal communication faster without awkward pauses. This allows you to remember what was previously discussed and easily move on to the next part of the conversation.

Marijuana can improve your fluency.

When interacting with others, a conversation is usually split into two parts.

There is a listening aspect and a communication aspect. Without them both there would be no dialogue or connection between people.

You have to master both to be someone other people want to interact with; Cannabis can be a powerful tool to help you achieve your goals.

In addition to increasing verbal episodic memory, cannabis also improves fluency. Verbal episodic memory is the ability to remember words and fluency is the ability to produce words. You need both to connect easily with others. This is basically why many musicians or writers use marijuana to get into their “flow” state, where words flow easily.

With marijuana, your communication skills will flow, and people will be surprised at how eloquently you can speak.

Marijuana reduces your anxiety.

Fear of what we say, how we act, how we look, and what others think of us can make us unwilling to interact with others. When this happens, it’s called social anxiety. It can be debilitating and make us not want to interact with others, which can be very unhealthy as social interaction is a human need.

Marijuana May Help Reduce Anxiety – THC and CBD in marijuana can cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger anxiety-related changes in blood flow in the brain. This change in blood flow effectively reduces anxiety and helps us stay calm, relaxed, and engaged.

Using marijuana allows you to manage your own tension while having a conversation.

Use cases of cannabis products to enhance social skills

Depending on the situation, there are several ways to use cannabis products to improve your social skills.

The best cannabis products for social skills are THC/CBD blended oils or edibles. This is because oil and food take longer to digest and are slowly processed in the bloodstream throughout the day. Therefore, cannabis can last longer. The benefit of cannabis oil or edibles is that, depending on the dose, you can go about your daily routine without feeling high.

However, if it’s a social event, party, or concert, you might want to smoke one beforehand. Smoking or vaping gets the cannabinoids into the system as quickly as possible. Then you can enjoy the same as you will feel relaxed when connecting with less anxiety and spending time with others will not be as uncomfortable.
