What is Dad Weed?
A new term has emerged in the cannabis space: “Dad Weed.” and while cannabis consumption is not gender specific, the name may suggest it’s exclusively for fathers. Wrong! The reality is that Dad Weed is for everyone! Dad Weed is any cannabis product with a low THC percentage with a more balanced ratio of THC to CBD or other minor cannabinoids. Cannabis cultivation techniques have advanced significantly over the years, resulting in the production of much stronger weed than was available in decades past. These cultivation techniques include selective breeding, indoor growing, and a better understanding of the plant’s biology all of which have resulted in a more potent plant. While stronger weed has become the norm, there is a demand for cannabis with lower THC content. Many individuals prefer milder cannabis options, often referred to as Dad Weed or Mom Weed. These products will typically have lower levels of THC and higher amounts of other cannabinoids, with therapeutic benefits without the psychoactive effects.
Why Try Dad Weed?
Have you ever consumed too much cannabis and endured a racing heart, unstoppable munchies or increased paranoia? Maybe you’re just looking to subtly enhance your mood without feeling foggy or unengaged. Cannabis products with balanced ratios of CBD and THC will generally allow for more mental clarity than high THC/low CBD strains. Most 1:1 or 2:1 ratios will reduce the psychoactive effects while still proving the relaxation many enjoy about cannabis products.
If you are a dad, great — Dad Weed can help balance the demands of parenthood with self-care. With more balanced ratios of products available, everyone — non-parents included, can experience the benefits of cannabis. With its gentle high, ability to enhance well-being and focus, Dad Weed offers a pathway to balance your responsibilities while also prioritizing your health. As the stigma surrounding cannabis continues to fade, parents are embracing the therapeutic potential of low dose THC weed, finding solace and relaxation in this new era of Dad Weed.
