How to Mindfully Dose Tierra & Cannabis for Creativity

When most people think of cannabis, they imagine chilling out on the couch, completely relaxed, giggling, and lethargic. Sounds pretty good to me, personally — but did you know that with the right strain at the right dose, cannabis can boost your creativity & help you get into a productive flow state?

Whether you're hustling to meet a deadline, breaking through a creative block, or just need a mental reset, a little flower can be your secret weapon. Blending it with other herbs is my way of ensuring a light dose, with the nuanced effects I want.

But how do you find your perfect dose? Read on for our guide to finding your flow with Tierra & your favorite cannabis strains.

💜

Step 1: Find Your Sweet Spot

Everyone's tolerance is different, so find what works for you. Start small and work your way up. Here's a guide to get you started:

  • Bowl or One-Hitter: Grind up .5 tsp of the cannabis of your choice with .5 tsp of Tierra. Take 1-2 hits. Repeat after 15 minutes, if desired.

  • Spliff: Add Tierra to your spliff in a 60 Tierra: 40 cannabis ratio. Smoke half. Light it up again after 15 minutes, if desired.

    Favorite Tierra & cannabis pairings:
    OG Kush & Dream Blend
    Purple Haze & Dream Blend
    Lemon Bean & OG Blend
    Golden Ticket & OG Blend

Keep a journal to track your experiences and dial in your ideal dose. Here are a couple of check-in prompts to help you document your journey:

Check-In Prompts:

  • Initial Feelings: How do you feel physically and mentally before consuming?

  • Mid-Session Check-In: How’s your focus and mood after the dose kicks in? What has changed? Would you say this dose is too little, too much, or about right?

Step 2: Set the Scene

Before you indulge, set yourself up for success 🤝🏻 Prep your space, put on your favorite playlist, grab a couple of drinks (maybe brew some Tierra tea), and make sure you're comfy. Think of it as creating a vibe that helps you dive deep into your work or creative project without distractions.

Step 3: Embrace the Flow

When that perfect dose kicks in, give yourself a few uninterrupted hours to really get into it. Whether you’re brainstorming, drawing, writing, making music, designing, or just getting random stuff done, let yourself explore and enjoy the process. Set intentions, but don’t box yourself in with strict goals. Cliche incoming, but give the journey the same weight as the destination.

💜

Mindful dosing is about tuning into your experience and taking it slow and intentionally. So next time you need a productivity or inspiration boost, dose smartly with a little Tierra, prep your space, and be open to what comes through.
