Cannabis is a natural substance that comes from plants. There are many plants that use cannabinoids to defend and propagate themselves, but they all contain some form of CBD.
Many plants that use CBD are not readily available, making it difficult to learn how to find your path in life. However, people who use cannabis see their lives change for the better almost instantly as they experience its effects.
These changes can be a boost of confidence, improved sleep and overall wellness. Others see serious symptoms of depression and other mental health issues which stem from chronic stress in their lifestyle.
Since it can help with so many things, people have started using it as a replacement for medication. This is very helpful because they can feel comfortable with it because of how it makes them feel.
The hippie couple
In 1975, while attending Oregon State University, Charles and Bessie Smith married after meeting while both were attending a cannabis culture conference. The conference helped them realize that they enjoyed each other’s company, and wanted to be with him, so they decided to go ahead and take the plunge.
The couple soon began traveling together throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe as they learned about different strains of cannabis and how to use them. They also started a foundation to help educate people on cannabis and mental health which continues to this day.
When asked what thing makes him most proud of his wife, Charles replied: “We never got into trouble together because we loved the same things—cannabis and family.
The ‘we’re just friends’ couple
Most people who use cannabis are happy with how it makes them feel, but not everyone knows how it can bring couples together. More often than not, people use together as a distraction from the rest of their life, but the relationship they build through cannabis can last a lifetime.
Many people find love while high, and this isn’t just a matter of the physical side becoming more interested in their partner, but of the spiritual side of things that comes into play when one is high.
The couples who overcame addiction together
While cannabis can be used to treat addiction, it is not a cure and does not erase the damage that drug abuse can cause. However, it can help reduce the symptoms of both addiction and relationship stress.
Because of its psychoactive effects, cannabis is often used in connection with other things. This makes it an attractive substance to addicts, who may be more inclined to consume their cannabis than someone who does not have a strong dependence on other things.
In addition to having many positive benefits for the user, cannabis has helped reduce alcohol and drug use among people in recovery. Because so many people find therapeutic value in its usage outside of the medical realm, there has been an increase in recovery facilities and programs that offer recovery skills and resources.
These include group therapy sessions or worksites, relapse prevention classes, education about sobriety, and treatment for any remaining dependencies.
The plant brings them together
When Jon and Lindsay met, they had very different lives ahead of them. She was a college student, he was a veteran. She was an avid reality television viewer, he was a drug counselor.
They bonded over their shared experience as veterans and their love for cannabis culture. They became friends quickly, and by the end of the night, they were dating.
They spent their first night together in her parents’ house after she moved out, so they just slept together. The next morning, she woke up and asked him if he wanted to go buy a coffee shop nearby so she could see him again. He said no problem, so she drove herself there with her laptop computer case as jewelry and accessories because she wanted to wear him on her wrist.
They connect over the joys of consuming cannabis
Even without the use of cannabis, these couples find love through connecting over the joys of consuming cannabis.
These couples are not looking for a conventional relationship with each other and their families involved. They both have a hard time dealing with traditional relationships and family oriented programs so it makes sense that they would seek out a program like Couples in Cannabis Culture that emphasizes individual freedom and self-expression while also developing relationships with others.
They both feel that being in a recreational marijuana relationship is one of the most beautiful things they’ve ever done and will ever do. They are feeling very free and unrestrained in this relationship and program so there are no restrictions on what they do, how they do it, or what effect it has on them.
It is designed to be individualistic, fun, and (probably) productive.
They share an affinity for the culture surrounding cannabis
In fact, these couples consider themselves cannabis supremacists and enjoy being part of the cannabis culture they share an affinity for the culture surrounding cannabis albeit a subculture that is not for everyone.
They appreciate the freedom they have in being who they are and enjoying what they enjoy, even though some may not agree with their choices. These couples seem to truly love one another and are very thankful for each other each day.
They believe in karma, so when people do things against them and their loved ones, they feel bad but cannot do anything about it. They believe in the next level of life after death, because of how loving their relationship has been on this level.
These couples have created a community where people can come together to celebrate life and love through cannabis culture.
Stories of couples who found love through cannabis culture are becoming more common
Recent stories about relationships formed through cannabis culture are testament to its power to strengthen love.
In one case, a couple met while working in a marijuana dispensary and eventually moved in together. They were spotted at local events and became friends through their shared interest in cannabis culture.
After a year of dating, they bought a wedding ceremony and reception venue together, set out some rules for each other, and got married last summer.
They now live together, work together, and spend time camping and traveling together. Their love for one another is deeply tied to their shared interests in marriage and family, respectively.
This is not an unusual or rare story of couples finding love through cannabis culture. Over the years, we here at United by the Plant have heard many similar tales of couples who are bonded by their shared interest in cannabis culture.
Why is this happening?
Over the past few years, a growing number of countries have begun experimenting with cannabis as a form of medicine. In the US, multiple states have legalized cannabis for various purposes, making it readily available.
In several countries, including Canada and Europe, it is fully legal. As more and more people realize the tremendous benefits of cannabis, its use has increased.
Many people who are suffering from illness or who just want to feel better are introduced to cannabis by friends or from media attention about its benefits. Recent studies have concluded that people who use marijuana as an alternative to drugs are more likely to stay healthy than those who do not consume it.
This is happening for a number of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that potcultureiscasacmdeitstoutsuitesuicidalthoughts, behaviors, and social interactions.
