Why I Smoke Cannabis More in Autumn: The Seasonal Shift in Cannabis Culture

There’s a particular difference about autumn. In autumn, the sun sets earlier, temperatures are generally cooler and we begin to move into a more relaxed pace as the seasons transition from one to another.

For those who have been enjoying their summers through travel, attending festivals and spending time outdoors during the day for weeks on end, the natural progression towards the development of new routines indoors begins. And for those that use cannabis, autumn often feels like an ideal time to consume cannabis. But what creates this connection between using cannabis and autumn?

Autumn Creates the Perfect Atmosphere for Relaxation

In the summer months, it is normal for people to enjoy the outside world, travel, spend time with friends and family, as well as remain physically active. On the other hand, autumn provides a complete contrast. With rainy nights ahead; with warmer clothing, watching movies or listening to music and playing video games on your console or computer, and spending a lot more time indoors you are able to develop a more relaxing atmosphere. As such, the changing seasons affect the daily routine of many cannabis users in the U.K. As they move from consuming cannabis while engaging in an outdoor activity (such as walking) in the summer, it seems that autumn becomes more about establishing an indoor relaxation evening routine.

The Flavours of Autumn Match Cannabis Terpenes

One of the key factors that makes autumn such a unique time for marijuana enthusiasts is the tie in between fall flavors and cannabis fragrances.There are many popular cannabis varieties featuring full-bodied flavor/fragrance profiles that seem perfectly suited for the colder months of fall:

• earthy and woody fragrances;
• dessert-type sweet flavors;
• rich creamy/vanilla-like fragrances/flavors;
• spicy/herbal type fragrances/flavors;
• fruit-flavored types but with much deeper undertones.

As the weather cools down, many people move away from lighter summer flavours and start exploring more complex cannabis strains with stronger aromas and unique terpene profiles.

More Time Indoors Means More Cannabis-Friendly Moments

As we enter autumn, seasonal shifts in people’s use of leisure time will develop. The longer hours of daylight provide an increase in potential for leisure time pursuits such as hobbies and relaxation at home.

Autumn also develops new types of experiences that cannabis can be used as part of for certain consumers; e.g.,

• watching your favorite TV show or movie;
• listening to music;
• creating art projects (e.g., writing, drawing);
• preparing food;
• playing video games with friends;
• and socializing with friends while relaxing.

The season is simply creating many new occasions where consumers are choosing to experience cannabis responsibly.

The “Back to Routine” Effect

September and October can be a time when life seems to “start over.” Summer holidays have come to an end, and our normal daily routines at work resume; also many are thinking about how they will establish healthier evening habits.

For those that use cannabis, this may mean transitioning from consuming in a random way during the summer months (for example, as part of social events) to establishing a more deliberate routine. In place of associating cannabis with social gatherings or parties, it becomes tied to the user’s individual relaxing time.

Ultimately, it is just important that you consume responsibly and understand what fits into your life style.

Why Autumn Might Be the Best Cannabis Season

The seasons all have their own distinct vibe, however Autumn seems to be the most closely associated with cannabis culture. It’s cooler temperatures, shorter daylight hours, richer food options and generally slower paced lifestyle provide for many a great time to enjoy cannabis.Whether you are looking to try some new cannabis products, sample some new cannabis-based edible items or simply relax on a chilly winter night at home, Autumn provides a whole other experience compared to Summer.
