Amongst all the chaos in our lives, finding some peace seems to feel like it’s getting harder and harder. We understand how important ‘me’ time is and how difficult it can be to find, so we’re here to help. Fire up, slow down and enjoy the journey. Spending their days working with the best cannabis in Santa Rosa, Flora Terra’s Cultivation Manager Benny Thibeau and Dispensary Assistant Manager Craig Allen are masters of chilling out. August 15th was National Relaxation Day, so we asked these Santa Rosa Dispensary staff members how they kick back:
Scheduling some quality time for yourself is essential. What does that currently look like for you?
BT: Climbing up the summit of a mountain and sitting on top of the world with me, myself, and I.
CA: Personally, music production is what I’ve been itching to pour more time into. So if I can get a few hours to myself, I typically enjoy a buzzy sativa and work on that.
It’s self-care day — which cannabis product is coming with you?
BT: Canna Lavender Lemonade. It’s just what the doctor ordered as the perfect refreshment after a long, hot, summer day.
CA: Talking trees bubble hash and high gorgeous body rehab cream. I prefer a body high for a relaxing day. The bubble hash helps get me ready for an active day, while the body cream helps with winding down for the evening.
Elaborate rituals are great – but we don’t always have the time for that. On the daily, how do you decompress?
BT: A nice workout and taking care of the house plants, topped off with a little time in the rocking chair on the porch.
CA: This may just confirm I’m getting older but a little hit of hash and meditation is always manageable for me.
If you were to add one song to a “Relaxed Vibes” playlist, what would it be?
BT: TTRRUUCES- I’m Alive
CA: “Femme Fatale” by The Velvet Underground, & Nico
We have a teleportation device (and it’s a pre-COVID world) — where would you go right now to chill out?
BT: Avenue of the Giants, Humboldt County, CA
CA: Santa Cruz. It gives you the beach vibes of SoCal with a fraction of the visitors. Solitude on the ocean is epic
Goal = Totally Blissed Out. How do you get there?
BT: A little meditation in the woods.
CA: 1. Warm bath, 2. Very light stretching, 3. Smoothie (or tropical drink)
Favorite comfort food?
BT: Anything my momma cooks for me.
CA: The only answer is potatoes. They literally show up at 85% of “special occasion” meals. Plus, everyone can eat them provided you can handle the starch.
What’s one small way you make each day less stressful?
BT: Just try to remember to breathe. Every stressful moment is only exactly that, simply a moment. It does not define you. Let it pass.
CA: Temperature control. Honestly it gets overlooked so often. Cooler heads will always prevail so use your AC this summer.
If you are looking to get laid back and enjoy a “Relaxation Day”, give Santa Rosa Dispensary Flora Terra a visit. We’ve got the goods, the great vibes and all the tips. Stay Chill.
