Why Do They Call Weed Loud?

What Is Loud Weed?

Why do they call weed loud? Loud is a slang term for extremely powerful, pungent, and high-quality cannabis flowers. The term loud can also be used to describe a bud or a concentrate that produces quick, noticeably strong weed effects. The term is rumored to have caught on in Atlanta.

Regular Weed VS. Loud Weed

Marijuana refers to the dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica plant. When a person smokes regular weed, THC quickly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream. The blood carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body. The body absorbs THC more slowly when the person eats or drinks it. In that case, they generally feel the effects after 30 minutes to 1 hour. [1]

Why do they call weed loud? A loud weed has been grown really well and likely contains considerable amounts of cannabinoids and terpenes. Some terpenes are also more volatile than others, meaning that they release their aromatic compounds more easily than others. This creates an intense fragrance.

Loud Weed Ingredients

Why do they call weed loud? According to WeedMaps, Loud is described as a balanced hybrid that may produce giggly, sleepy, or talkative effects and smells like citrus, pineapple, and skunk, with an herby taste reminiscent of eucalyptus and tropical fruit. 

• Loud Scout is an Indica-heavy hybrid from Loud Seeds in Barcelona, Spain. Their signature cultivar is a combination of GSC and Platinum OG and smells of berries, herbs, and pine with a taste of grapes, lemons, and tropical fruit. 
• Loud Dream is frequently conflated with the Loud strain. This cerebral and potent Sativa comes in with a THC range of 15 – 28%. It’s a smooth toking experience with a tropical and earthy taste combination, and a eucalyptus, herbal scent. Effects are being very heady, social, and energetic. [2]

Loud Edibles

Why do they call weed loud? According to research, loud edibles are slower to kick in but last longer compared to inhalation. This is because compared to smoking, where cannabis is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and distributed rapidly in the brain, edibles first need to enter the digestive system. One study indicates that oral ingestion of THC requires 30–90 minutes for effects to begin. These effects reach their peak after 2–3 hours. [3]

Potential Side Effects

You may have a prescription for medical marijuana, or you may want to partake of weed or marijuana edibles in states where it is now legal for recreational use at the state level. There is a common perception that you cannot develop a physical dependence on marijuana, but this is not the case. Psychological dependence is also a consideration.

If you discontinue marijuana after regular or heavy use, you may experience symptoms of withdrawal. Signs of marijuana withdrawal [4] include:

• Appetite change
• Cramps or nausea after eating
• Cravings
• Digestion problems
• Headaches
• Mood swings
• Sleep disruption
• Weight gain
• Weight loss

If you find that you can’t handle symptoms of withdrawal without relapsing, you may be at risk for a substance use disorder. Do not be afraid to seek out professional support from a mental health professional.

How Long Does Weed Stay In Your System?

Tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical in cannabis that makes people feel “high” can stay in the body for several days or even weeks. The length of time this chemical stays in the body or continues to show in a drug test depends on many factors. These include:

• How much body fat a person has
• How often do they consume the drug
• How much someone smokes
• The sensitivity of the drug test

Drugs such as alcohol may completely disappear from the body in just a few hours. In comparison, weed lingers much longer. How long do edibles last? Drug tests can detect tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, in urine, blood, and hair for many days after use, while saliva tests can only detect THC for a few hours. This is because of the way the body metabolizes THC. [5]

Why do they call weed loud? Marijuana or weeds is one of the most widely used drugs in the U.S., according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. There are no reports of fatal marijuana overdoses, but it is possible to overdose on cannabis. Symptoms range from mild to severe. Can you overdose on marijuana? Yes, but unlike overdoses of other illicit drugs, a marijuana overdose won’t likely be fatal. 

Here are the symptoms [6] you may experience if you overdose on weed:

• High levels of anxiety
• Panic attack
• Rapid heart rate 
• Difficulty conversing
• Poor coordination
• High or low blood pressure 
• Nausea and vomiting 
• Extreme confusion and memory problems 
• Paranoia
• Hallucinations 

Why Do Some People Become Addicted To Weeds While Others Don’t?

What is the common cause of drug abuse? Various risk factors can make you more likely to become addicted to drugs, including:

• Your biology. People can react to drugs differently. Some people like the feeling the first time they try a drug and want more. Others hate how it feels and never try it again.
• Mental health problems. People who have untreated mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more likely to become addicted. This can happen because drug use and mental health problems affect the same parts of the brain. Also, people with these problems may use drugs to try to feel better.
• Trouble at home. If your home is an unhappy place or was when you were growing up, you might be more likely to have a drug problem.
• Trouble in school, at work, or with making friends. You might use drugs to get your mind off these problems.
• Hanging around other people who use drugs. They might encourage you to try drugs.
• Starting drug use when you’re young. When kids use drugs, it affects how their bodies and brains finish growing. This increases your chances of becoming addicted when you’re an adult.

Help Abuse & Addiction

We Level Up addiction treatment provides the needs of each patient that are specific and personalized, as we aim to provide comprehensive support for mental health, addiction, and dual diagnosis treatment.

Psychotherapy

Several different modalities of psychotherapy have been used in the treatment of substance abuse including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – It is an effective treatment that involves making changes in both the patterns of negative thoughts and the behavioral routines which are affecting the daily life of the addicted person.
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy – It is a comprehensive mental health and substance abuse treatment program whose ultimate goal is to aid clients in their efforts to build a life worth living. The main goal of DBT is to help a person develop what is referred to as a “clear mind.” 
• Person-Centered Therapy – It is a strategy that allows and encourages clients to understand and resolve their concerns in a safe, supportive environment.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers

Drug addiction causes brain damage and mental health disorders often co-occur. In many cases, traumatic experiences can result in a mental health disorder and substance abuse. Dual diagnosis rehabilitation treats both of these issues together. The best approach for the treatment of dual diagnosis is an integrated system. In this strategy, both the substance abuse problem and the mental disorder are treated simultaneously. Regardless of which diagnosis (mental health or substance abuse problem) came first, long-term recovery will depend largely on the treatment for both disorders done by the same team or provider.

Medication-Assisted Treatment & Inpatient Consultants

Medication-Assisted Treatments (MAT) for substance use disorders and mental health disorders are commonly used in conjunction with one another. This includes the use of medications and other medical procedures. During your rehab, the staff from your treatment facility will help you identify what caused your addiction and teach you skills that will help you change your behavior patterns and challenge the negative thoughts that led to your addiction. Sometimes, the pressures and problems in your life lead you to rely on substances to help you forget about them momentarily.

Why do they call weed loud? It could be because addiction to this type of weed is more common in drugs like alcohol or cocaine.
