The effects of consuming Amethyst strain begin slow and mellow, allowing your body and mind to relax and ease the day’s stress. As the high develops, more bodily sensations set in, making the body feel heavy and sluggish. A couch lock may set in, encouraging you to stay where you are and enjoy the experience of full-body euphoria. Although it may be tempting to remain seated or lying down, some Amethyst users have reported getting plenty done around the house, suggesting the “couch lock” isn’t too inescapable. It is noted, however, that Amethyst users report intense “munchies” effects, so plan accordingly.Amethyst is a very versatile strain, as its effects depend slightly on what you’re trying to do. It lends to lying on the beach, enjoying nature with a hike, or simply watching your favorite show and snacking.Negative side effects of the Amethyst strain include the standard dry mouth and dry eyes, though these are reported less frequently than some other strains. Some users describe moderate anxiety or paranoia in the beginning stages of the high, so if you are generally susceptible to anxiety, you may prefer other strains.

Dosing for Amethyst varies between individuals. As with all strains, it is a good idea to start small and work your way up until you achieve the effect you’re looking for. Dosage will also depend on your method of consumption, as the different options will vary in their ability to make the cannabinoids contained in the buds “bioavailable” (how much of the cannabinoid content in the bud is made available to your body for absorption). Tolerance levels and general experience consuming cannabis play a significant role in the effects an individual may notice and how much cannabis they’ll need to achieve the desired result.
