Sour n Sage- Our New Truth

Anxiety and Depression are becoming some of the most common mental health disorders we've seen rising, not only in the US but, in the world. I think it's safe to say we all got disoriented back in 2020 because of the Coronavirus that quickly became a COVID-19 pandemic.

Although we heard about it here and there, I don't think we really saw it coming. It escalated pretty quickly and before we knew it, it was our kids last day of in person school and we now had to become their teachers and balance our jobs and home life. Alongside that, businesses closed abruptly, and people had to wonder how they were going to keep their jobs. Personally, what got to me the most was the instant disconnect and detachment from family and friends. All of a sudden, we were existing together but separately. If that makes any sense.

The world has been in disarray for a while now and although we somewhat adapted to our new reality (because we had no choice) it's still not an easy one to accept.

Which is why self-love and being present is most important now, more than ever. We have to keep our spirits up, because no matter how 'over' this, we may be, it's still our current truth. The world is still spinning whether we like it or not. So might as well just sit back, relax and just toke along with it.

Athena’s Gifts has a sativa dominant strain called 'Sage N Sour' which can help give you temporary relief of depression and anxiety, so you can exist more presently with friends and family. And because it's a sativa dominant, it can calm your anxieties without taking you out of your day. It's not only a great strain to battle anxiety and depression. It's also great for those suffering from PTSD, chronic migraines, pain, nausea, stress and loss of appetite. 

The effects from 'Sage N Sour' is your typical, dry mouth, red eyes & dizziness (just make sure you are relaxed in a safe place and have water handy). Besides that, users say it helps give you a strong cerebral high that's slowly melts throughout your body. 'Sage N Sour' can help you feel happy and uplifted while keeping you creative and focused. It's a great 'Wake N Bake' strain due to its sativa dominance. Always remember to understand your dose. Everyone's bodies are different, and no high is identical, so toke responsibly until desired effects are met.
