If you are the type of person to enjoy a good wake and bake session, you know that it can be an exciting way to get your day started. But if you are one of the people that have tried it and have felt too groggy to continue the day afterwards, then you are one of the people that could benefit from a few tips to make that experience much more enjoyable.
Waking and baking can mean a few different things to different people. For some, it can be just shutting off your alarm clock and reaching over for your pipe that is right on the bedside table next to you before ever stepping a foot out of the bed, or it can be jumping out of bed and smoking a bowl of cannabis at some point in your morning routine of bacon and eggs, coffee, and weed.
Wake and bake sessions can either make your day better, or they can make them worse. It is quite important to plan a wake and bake session in order to successfully reap the benefits of it.
Go Over Your Schedule So You Don’t Have Any Surprises
One of the last things that you want is to see a text from your boss getting angry with you because you are late for the work shift that you accepted the other day right after you just finished a heavy toking session.
In order to mitigate the chances of this from happening, you need to wake and bake responsibly. You’ll want to go over your schedule prior to even taking that first toke. If you do this, you will lessen the chances of any hidden surprises from occurring, and you will also lower the anxiety and panic that goes along with it.
But it is also good to keep in mind that you aren’t only limited to wake and bake sessions when you have a completely free schedule for the rest of the day. A lot of people out there have noticed that their days are even more productive after they have a morning wake and bake session. But you will still want to have a rough idea of what is planned for the day.
Decide What’s On The Menu For Your Breakfast
One of the first things to decide is if you are going to eat breakfast at the beginning of your session or leave it until the end. Deciding this beforehand will go a long way in ensuring the session goes smoothly. There are some people who find that eating before smoking up will keep them feeling more productive and healthier, and others that want to smoke first so that their appetite is well stimulated for a great breakfast. And then there’s those who like to have the option of doing both.
Depending on what option you choose, you’ll need to make sure that you choose one in order to prevent your kitchen from turning into a complete disaster. If you do end up choosing to eat your breakfast after your wake and bake session, then you should consider cooking before you decide to even take your first toke. If your breakfast is fully prepared and ready to eat after you are done smoking, then this will lessen the chances that you will be driving through your cupboards and fridge, looking for any type of food that will successfully crave your munchies.
If you decide to eat breakfast before your smoke session, then you don’t have to worry about the whole breakfast agenda and can just move on to the remainder of your morning routine without constantly thinking about what your body should be eating.
Picking The Right Strain
What is just as important as your breakfast, is the strain of cannabis that you use for your wake and bake session. You will typically want a sativa dominant strain instead of an indica. If you accidentally use an indica strain, then you might feel a little too much relaxation and will want to sink right back into your bed. You will have that feeling of, “just 5 more minutes of sleep”, over and over.
There are a lot of sativa strains out there that can create the stimulating sensations that will make you feel energetic and creative. Casey Jones is an example of one strain that provides users with a cerebral high that will make you feel energized and alert, and this makes it an ideal strain for wake and bake sessions.
Always Keep A Plentiful Supply Of Water Around
You will always want to keep a water bottle in arm’s reach when you are waking and baking. Staying hydrated is one of the things that will ensure the experience will go more smoothly. Downing water constantly is never a bad thing, and if you feel like you are ready to go to sleep after your session, maybe you just need to be drinking more water.
Make A List Of Things You Need To Get Done For The Day
If you have a day that is pretty clear of important things to do, it’s always too easy to get baked and then forget what you even wanted to do during any given day. There are also times that you might have a session and then you end up convincing yourself that you never even wanted to do the things that you initially wanted to do before getting high.
Making a list of things to do is important to mitigate this from happening. Even if you don’t end up completing every single thing on your list, it’s still a good indicator to show what you did have planned. Keeping a guideline of things will help you stay motivated if the weed tends to make you feel on the lazy side. Activity on the list is a good thing to have because it will help prevent the habit of getting back into bed and sleeping, which can sometimes happen with wake and bake sessions.
Don’t Leave The House Like That
After you have had a good wake and bake session, it’s highly suggested not to go out into work or public with the clothes that you just smoked weed in. You will want to finish your wake and bake session before you decide to get dressed and start your day. Putting on your clothes for public appearance is something that should always happen afterwards. Then you can simply finish the rest of the things in your morning routine such as brushing your teeth, doing your hair, putting eye drops in your eyes, and everything else.
If you are the type of person that showers in the morning, you might want to wait until after your wake and bake session. Doing this will lower the chances of smelling like cannabis once you get out into the public.
One of the most ideal things about a wake and bake session is that you will feel energized and fully ready to take on the day. You will feel like you just rolled straight out of the 1960s.
Conclusive Thoughts On A Great Wake And Bake
You will want to know the differences between a wake and bake session that happens on a Sunday morning in comparison to one that happens before you go to work in the middle of the week. On Sunday, you will be able to get away with spending your day lazily in pyjamas, staying in bed for an extra hour, and doing nothing for the rest of the day that doesn’t take much planning. If you’re wanting to still function properly after your wake and bake session, then you will have to obviously go about it a little differently. Following these tips will hopefully help you function and be more responsible after your session and will ideally bring you the best and most efficient results. As always, be safe when waking and baking and don’t use complicated machinery after you consume cannabis.
