With the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival now in full swing, it seems only appropriate the prepare for the many stand-up comedy shows we will all inevitably be going to see. If you’re in another part of the world then it can’t hurt to be aware of the best way to really enjoy a live comedian. Smoking to enjoy a live show is very different from smoking to enjoy watching a Netflix special. We need to take into account the fact that you have to go out in public, that we want to laugh but not so hard everyone thinks there is something wrong with us, and obviously, we don’t want to fall asleep in the middle of the venue. So let’s have a look at some of the best strains for watching live stand-up. Since recreational weed is not legal in Scotland this is obviously hypothetical and we are not endorsing any sort of illegal smoking, obviously.
This fancy little number is perfect for sitting in a room full of strangers to enjoy a person telling jokes. It has a euphoric and happy effect that is also motivating and strangely relaxing. In fact, this may be THE perfect strain for stand up. It gives you the little pick me up that will help you enjoy even the freest of Fringe shows. Even those that are essentially just students doing their first tight 5 in a bar basement. While helping you enjoy the act it will also keep you focused and aware. This is a good strain for a full day of a comedy festival as it is also social and chatty. It is also a fantastic strain for medicinal users as it reduces the symptoms of insomnia, depression, pain, migraines, appetite loss, and stress. The THC level is over 19% so maybe watch out if you’re not a heavy smoker. It has a flowering time of 50 – 55 days and can be grown indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse.
This is another strain well known for being extremely happy and uplifting. It is usually used to reduce anxiety, stress and depression. This means if you are having a bad day but you have tickets to a gig you don’t have to either struggle through or waste the money. This is also a far lower THC strain with an average level of 10 – 15%. It also has a beautifully fresh and fruity aroma and flavour that just adds to the perky summertime vibe of an arts festival. For anyone with anxiety, festivals can also be extremely overwhelming. Strawberry Cough is a great way to enjoy the company of your friends and take in some comedy without being absolutely terrified of the crowds. There isn’t even a hint of couch lock with this strain so no worries about getting stuck to your seat after the show. Strawberry Cough has a flowering time of 9 weeks and can be grown indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse.
This strain is great for those who get anxious and tend to slip into a panicked or manic state. Then being in a crowd, sitting in amongst people, potentially being spoken to by the comic and other fears can all get in the way of having fun. Tangie is a happy and uplifting strain that is also chill and meditative. So it will still add a little something to the comedy and make sure you have a good time while relaxing that fight or flight reflex. However, less is certainly more with Tangie. It is an extremely strong strain that usually has a THC level of up to 23%. Just a little puff before heading out should do you fine, definitely don’t overdo it unless you are very confident in your tolerance. Tangie is also a medicinal strain used for a variety of disorders including stress, anxiety, pain, PMS, arthritis, nausea, and glaucoma. This is a perfect morning strain so great for a wake and bake before you head out to start your day. It has a flowering time of 9 weeks and can be grown indoors or outdoors.
Are you a bar worker during a festival? Are you exhausted from angry tourists, insane locals and long nights of dealing with complete nonsense? Now have you committed to go and see a show with your friends on your one day off this month? Worry not because I have the perfect strain for you. Green Crack will perk you right up and give you all of the energy you need to actually enjoy yourself during your tiny stretch of freedom. Green Crack got its name from how extremely stimulating the high is. It has a THC level of almost 20% so it is pretty powerful. Newer smokers may want to be a little careful when it comes to using this guy as a pick me up. It is also a stimulating strain so perfect for really appreciating and enjoying a stand-up gig. This strain has a flowering time of 58 – 65 days and can be grown indoors or outdoors.
Our final strain is uplifting, relaxing and can be a little bit of a turn on. I don’t know about you lot but I tend to find funny pretty sexy. So whether you are on a date night or are just a full-on “chuckle f**ker” as comedian Nichole Byer would say this might be a perfect strain. For those of you who don’t find comedy oddly erotic, it is just great for enjoying your night. The happy but chill effect of the strain can make attending a show an extremely enjoyable evening out while still keeping you alert and awake enough to enjoy the company of others. This is another pretty strong strain so be careful. Super Lemon Haze can also ignite the munchies so make sure you find a food truck beforehand so your tummy doesn’t rumble through the gig. This strain has a flowering time of 65 – 70 days and can be grown indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse.
