From my limited experience, when ingesting what you would call edibles or tinctures (particularly indica strain), there seems to be a greater “kick” from [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) when you first interact with another person. Just wondering if anyone else who has worn pheromones while being slightly buzzed by ingesting marijuana has noticed any similar effect. Or whether it’s just all in my head. P.S. I also notice similar effects after having eaten some garlic. ---

omg totally does. it’s strain dependent for sure. i live in the land of glitter and ganja, and i have any strain available to me on demand, 24h day. i’ve had some very psychedelic strains help me grasp MYSELF even on top of pheros. i am known to vap a bowl of OG kush or any of the diesels (sour, lemon…) just before yoga and just after and Reeeeally bliss out. i can see parts of me inside that i can’t otherwise. i hear a lot of the asian kids at all the UCs try sativa dominant strains to do this too, but in my experience all the sativas i’ve done here have made me paranoid. it’s probably because of the market i’m in. peeps be stressed, so more go for the indicas and don’t pay attention to their sativa products. #couldrantaboutthisforever #californiaproblems so ok, that said i don’t think mary intensifies pheromones more than allows you to PERCEIVE the outer perimeter of them. like.. what’s me? what’s musk? sometimes i notice my EMPATHY is MUCH HIGHER with certain strains of MJ, which makes me PHEROMONE PERCEPTION just THAT MUCH HIGHER. I am extremely sensitive to everyone’s body language and facial language. i am sensitive to all bodies of communiation that are displayed to me. it’s kinda freaky. so where pheromones can adjust and alter the physical and psychic energies around us, the og kush can shine a 1kw strobe on the whole scene, blowing out all the shadows, exposing the scene for the beautiful colorful show that it is, all the pieces synergized… yeah yadda yadda… ok, and then on SHROOMS? yeah let’s not go there. lets stick to mary. ---

I have been wondering about this myself. I am a MJ smoker and was worried about negative effects. The first few time I try 'mones I will not be partaking as I don’t want the experience skewed or muddied up in any way. Though I do look forward to trying them together and see if I get the “spotlight effect.” ---

Yeah, I personally use a tiny bit of Indica for stress/anxiety, and strangely enough (contrary to stereotypes), it helps me focus and stay motivated. It’s quite mild and I don’t actually feel a “buzz” it’s more of a calmness/loose feeling, also helps me write/create better. But yeah, not a fan of pure Sativa. > [@jett](#): > > i don’t think mary intensifies pheromones more than allows you to PERCEIVE the outer perimeter of them. > > like.. > what’s me? > what’s musk? > > sometimes i notice my EMPATHY is MUCH HIGHER with certain strains of MJ, which makes me PHEROMONE PERCEPTION just THAT MUCH HIGHER.

The MJ loosens me to where I’m more in the moment… guess that could have something to do with it. And I think the strain I use is very similar to OG Kush. > [@pheronewb78](#): > > I have been wondering about this myself. I am a MJ smoker and was worried about negative effects.

Interesting. My guess is that it, like others have said, it makes you more aware of the pheromones and their effect, thus “intensifying the pheromones.” Others have contemplated the effect of [garlic and mones.](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/garlic-and-how-it-effects-delivery-of-pheromones/50659) ---

Marijuana probably does not intensify pheromones. In order to understand what you are experiencing you have to look at marijuana itself and it’s properties. "As THC enters the brain, it causes the user to feel euphoric?or high?by acting on the brain’s reward system, which is made up of regions that govern the response to pleasurable things like sex and chocolate, as well as to most drugs of abuse. THC activates the reward system in the same way that nearly all drugs of abuse do: by stimulating brain cells to release the chemical dopamine. Along with euphoria, relaxation is another frequently reported effect in human studies. Other effects, which vary dramatically among different users, include heightened sensory perception (e.g., brighter colors), laughter, altered perception of time, and increased appetite. After a while, the euphoria subsides, and the user may feel sleepy or depressed." [How does marijuana use affect your brain and body? | National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)](http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/how-does-marijuana-use-affect-your-brain-body) Marijuana is primarily a hallucinogen albeit a mild one. While I’m not actually saying that you are hallucinating, there is a great chance that you are. There is no evidence either way but If I had to take a side I would say you were hallucinating. Even sober, most of the testers here cannot read body language or interpret womanese. ---

I recently went on a drive with some friends to a very seedy little town where they supposedly sell the best stuff in all the land (well down under any way)… and while I don’t smoke myself, I definitely got a little buzz off their fumes. I was wearing pheromones at the time, and I noticed that it helped me observe their reactions better. I don’t like the effects myself, although it was some pretty trippy icky lol… some people swear it makes them more alert and carefree or they get x benefit, but I’m just far too busy to spend my time getting blazed lol… ---

I agree that getting high probably does not intensify pheros - **however** being high does create an excellent frame of mind for pheros to work-on - and helps no-end with comfort, relaxation and losing the inhibitions that cause people to mask their hits/responses, so the pheros work at their very best. 🙂 ---

welll… for the mellow out mones like Mol C for example-- it can have too strong of an effect and just makes me sleepy/lazy-- takes longer to… you know. But aside from that I haven’t seen any other interaction. ---

_[https://news.uci.edu/2015/10/26/love-hormone-helps-produce-bliss-molecules-to-boost-pleasure-of-social-interactions/](https://news.uci.edu/2015/10/26/love-hormone-helps-produce-bliss-molecules-to-boost-pleasure-of-social-interactions/)_ In the late 1980s, receptors were found in the brain for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive component in marijuana. But since THC doesnt naturally occur in the body, the presence of these receptors puzzled scientists. The mystery was solved a few years later with the discovery of arachidonylethanolamide, later called anandamide. Anandamide is a natural neurotransmitter produced in the brain that binds to the CB1 Cb2 THC receptors. Its been called the bliss molecule aptly named after ananda, the Sanskrit word for joy, bliss, or happiness. It is considered an endocannabinoid a substance produced in the body that binds to cannabinoid receptors and now seems to be responsible for much of the natural normal positive feelings in social interactions, bonding, touch, sex, exercise, and love. When you eat dark chocolate, running, use marijuana, or release the hormone oxytocin through sex, touch or staring into the eyes internally, they all stimulate the production of Anandamide, a motivation, pleasure and happy/bliss neurotransmitter in the brain. Oxytocin is known as the love and bonding molecule. Feelings of love ratchet up your oxytocin levels for example, which in turn dial up your bodys anandamide effects giving us that pleasure. When scientists stimulated oxytocin release, it increased anandamide creation in the brain. When they blocked anandamide, it also blocked the pleasure and pro social effects of oxytocin which means that oxytocin reinforces social bonding/trust and pleasure by anandamide creation. Interrupting anandamide breakdown further enhanced the pleasure of social contact, and animals treated with a drug that stops anandamide breakdown increasing it behaved as though they enjoyed spending time with their cage mates much more then animals treated with placebo. Anandamide (AEA) increases in the brain during and following exercise and may be mostly responsible for why exercise makes you happy. A recent animal study similarly found that anandamide might be responsible for producing the “runner’s high” in mice. _[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26438875](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26438875)_ [https://medium.com/@mary\_c\_biles/anandamide-the-bodys-own-antidepressant-and-how-to-boost-it-naturally-895cdafcf7fe](https://medium.com/@mary_c_biles/anandamide-the-bodys-own-antidepressant-and-how-to-boost-it-naturally-895cdafcf7fe) _Those who are ‘extra happy’ people produce less of the enzyme FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase) which is responsible for breaking down a chemical in the body called anandamide Study Explores Chemical Links Of Cannabis, Exercise, And Sexual Bliss [https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:t\_mlk2Sp05QJ:https://www.forbes.com/sites/janetwburns/2017/11/27/study-explores-chemical-links-of-cannabis-sexual-bliss-and-runners-high/+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us](https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:t_mlk2Sp05QJ:https://www.forbes.com/sites/janetwburns/2017/11/27/study-explores-chemical-links-of-cannabis-sexual-bliss-and-runners-high/+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us) CB2 is tied to sexual pleasure._ Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, discovered that the use of cannabis (also) activates the same receptor as sexual pleasure, CB1 and releases oxytocin and both activate dopamine, responsible for the sensation of pleasure same as intercourse. They studied how various activities provide us with pleasure, and came to the conclusion that the feelings yielded by marijuana and sex are more similar than previously thought. This pleasure is not obtained only by smoking marijuana, but with other types of consumption, such as ingestion or the application of balms. Cannabis is a potent aphrodisiac, increasing body awareness, greater concentration or an increase in climax. Marijuana just also blocks the breakdown (lessening) after the fact increasing the potency of the effect.
