Understanding Social

Social effects help dissolve the invisible walls that social anxiety builds. Rather than making you more talkative (though that can happen), these strains typically reduce self-consciousness and the fear of judgment that holds many people back. Sativa-leaning strains with Limonene create an upbeat, engaged mood perfect for parties, conversations, and group activities. The key is finding strains that enhance without overwhelming—you want to be present and connected, not lost in your own head.
