There are hundreds of thousands of different resolutions floating around the ether this time of year and it’s likely that cannabis could enhance many of their fulfillments.
A new year, a new start. People around the globe celebrate new beginnings at the stroke of midnight on January 1 and make promises to themselves with the best of intentions. Whether it’s losing weight, exercising more, getting some travel on or simply being kinder to oneself and others, they’re all noble endeavors — just not easy for everyone to keep for long periods of time. Enter cannabis.
Unlike the stoner stereotype of being lazy and couch-locked for a good portion of the day, cannabis helps many people to simply get out of bed in the morning, especially if they suffer from arthritis or another type of ailment. But if you’re looking for motivation outside of feeling better, pot can work wonders.

The sativa elevates your mood while the touch of indica keeps your mind from spinning out. Everyone is different though, and terpenes play a big role as well, so listen to your body and use strains that you already know are motivational to you.
