Elmer’s Glue can be a true creeper, sometimes taking as long as 10 to 15 minutes before it arrives. At first, the strain acts on the head and face, conferring an increase in blood pressure that may result in a tingly feeling around the temples; some consumers also describe a sudden increase in salivation. Smokers may also find their thoughts jumping from one to the next in strange categorical associations. All this mental stimulation can be a good way to enhance both detailed, analytical work and creative, freeform projects.

The consumer’s previously cerebral mindset starts to give way to a dopey, dreamy mood. Physical energy levels tend to dip as well, and smokers who may have been active may suddenly want to stretch out on a comfortable surface. Instead of working on a puzzle, smokers at this stage are more likely to enjoy a passive activity like binge-watching or lounging with an atmospheric playlist. It’s at this point that the “glue” in Elmer’s Glue becomes apparent, sticking users intractably in place on the couch. Elmer’s Glue can also have many uses for medical cannabis patients. Its initially cerebral effects can help those with attention deficit disorders to concentrate on a single task. Its later sedation, 

meanwhile, can temporarily treat the symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety. Elmer’s Glue can also dull physical pain, whether it’s serious and chronic or an everyday inflammation like a headache. In the right set and setting, this sleepy bud can even help insomniacs enjoy a restful sleep.
