Blog: Post: Keeping our Spirits High During This Back to School Season

It’s September now, but who’s counting? I feel like these past few years have just been one super long year. Back to school season is back and you know what that means, life’s about to get a little busy. If you’re a mama who is nervously anticipating a non-stop year of frozen waffles and pancakes, alarms galore and carpools, this one’s for you.

First off, we’re mamas, I mean that’s the closest thing to a superhero, right? We literally keep our kids alive every single day, while maintaining our sanity, that’s got to count for something. Also, this year is a bit different than the other years. This is the year where our kids go back to in person school again, and we all get back to work and for some of us, school, in person as well. I mean from my experience, anxiety is a little higher than usual now, not only for the kids but also for the moms. I know we are going to kill it, but I can understand, as a mama myself, starting back at school, there’s going to be some overwhelming days ahead. Once again, we got this, but let me let you in on a little helpful tip to ease us into this year the right way…sativa.

For instance, sativa in the form of a tincture can help you discreetly and productively get through your day. I don’t knock any other cannabis methods, but tinctures are a great way to microdose, so you get exactly the dose you need and nothing more. Of course, any cannabis product should be used in moderation and responsibly, to enjoy its effects.

Sativas in general are known to help you with energy and focus. They’re known to be great for those with ADD/ADHD, as well as those with depression and anxiety. You can count on sativa to help temporarily relieve pain without the sedating effects an indica may give you. Which makes it great for daytime pain relief.
