Who needs a workout buddy when you can have a puff of Royal Highness?
There’s something highly entertaining about exercising
with a buzz.
After a few fragrant puffs of the earthy, sweet, and superpotent
Royal Highness by Good Supply, I decided to go
ahead with my morning workout routine, rather than sit
back and let it sink in.
Remarkably, I found myself on the floor performing pushups,
sit-ups, and squats, all with extraordinary ease.
Possibly delight. You don’t even realize how boring (or
painful) your workout is, which makes sense considering
cannabis consumption is known to reduce inflammation
and help manage pain. That, and a faster heart rate, can
apparently increase the intensity of your high.
According to an LA Weekly article, a study published in the
journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence suggests exercise can
increase THC levels by 15 percent. The research found that
exercise enhances plasma THC levels in regular cannabis
users by releasing dormant THC from fat stores.
Is that like the entourage effect? With Royal Highness,
which boasts 20-29 percent THC, I’m sure there were a few
times I lost count of what I was doing and did more
reps than intended, especially near the end.
While Royal Highness is a hybrid strain, I’d say it
leaned more towards sativa — uplifting and energetic
— better for running than resting, so to speak.
After my weed-infused workout, I flew around my
apartment cleaning and then I gardened. In total, the
effects of just a quarter of a gram lasted for just over
a couple of hours.
The bright green and frosty Royal Highness strain is
greenhouse-grown and hand-groomed in Leamington,
Ont. Despite the high levels of THC in this strain,
I experienced no paranoia or anxiety. Instead, my
thoughts were rather lucid and light.
Full-flavored and smooth, Royal Highness features
myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene in its terpene
profile for a unique fruity and spicy taste.
Royal Highness is available in pre-rolled and dried
flower formats. I bought the pre-roll, which was enough
to get me through four incredible workouts.
