THC and lion’s mane: brain boost or bust?
Ever been curious about what happens when you mix THC with lion’s mane?
As cannabis and wellness supplements, like lion’s mane, become more popular, more people find themselves mixing the two substances.
Yet, the afterthought comes…. “Should I have mixed those?”
This article will guide you through the effects of THC-rich cannabis and lion’s mane when used together, assess their safety, and explore products on the market that intentionally blend the two.
Delta 9 is the primary and most abundant form of THC in the cannabis plant.
It serves as the plant’s chief intoxicating cannabinoid, binding to receptors in the brain and causing a euphoric, mind-altering high.
Delta 9 THC is typically the main focus on product labels at your local dispensary and is usually what people are referring to when talking about THC.
This cannabinoid can be consumed in many different ways, including:
Smoking
Vaping
Edibles
Oil/tinctures
Topicals
Capsules/pills
More and more people are ditching their morning coffee for the lion’s mane mushroom.
This shaggy white mushroom (known as Hericium erinaceus) is enjoyed for its ability to clear brain fog and improve mental clarity. Traditional medicine has celebrated it for centuries for its neurohealth properties.
Lion’s mane grows on dead hardwood trees and offers a seafood-like taste whether served raw or cooked. For a convenient and concentrated dose of its benefits, many consume lion’s mane supplements, like capsules or tasty gummies.
Such potential benefits of lion’s mane include:
Easing depression and anxiety
Boosting brain function and mental clarity
Pain relief thanks to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Immune system health support
Stomach lining protection
Mixing THC and lion’s mane is generally considered safe, though research on their combined effects is still limited.
When you mix THC-containing cannabis and lion’s mane, users often experience a blend of effects from both substances.
Here’s what you might notice:
A more intense ‘high’
Improved mood
Enhanced focus
Pain relief
Increased anxiety with high THC levels
If you’re thinking about mixing the two, it’s wise to start with lower doses to see how your body responds. And, if you’re on any medications, checking in with your doctor before mixing is a smart move.
Sometimes, we want the best of both worlds.
