Tangie is also popular among medicinal users since it can ease pain, stress, and depression although it’s advised to consume it moderately as too much of this potent strain can result in headaches and anxiety.

How to Enjoy Your Tasty Marijuana Strain
-
Watch what you eat
Any food item you eat prior to consuming marijuana can alter its flavor. If you really want to fully enjoy the taste of the strain you’re taking, make sure that your mouth is clean. Also clean your hands before you smoke as it can affect the smell of the bud you’re smoking.
-
Check your environment
Your surroundings can also affect your strain’s aroma. Check to see if there is any strong or offending smells emanating in the room before smoking your marijuana strain. The smell should be somewhat neutral with a room temperature of 22-24ºC and humidity level of 50%.
-
Smoke how you like it
When it comes to consuming marijuana for flavor, pick a method that you’re used to. There’s no use struggling to point using a water pipe if you don’t know how to operate it or smoking a blunt if you suck at rolling them. Just go about it the way you normally do so you’re not so distracted by the method and you’re more focused on the flavor.
In Conclusion
Each cannabis strain comes with a unique flavor and aroma profile ranging from sour to sweet, from woody to fruity. You may prefer flavors that you already love but don’t be afraid to try other strains too. This is one of the major factors that make marijuana consumption exciting. As with anything, make sure to consume moderately. Know your tolerance range as well as when it’s time to switch strains to experience the same effect.
