The stars of Game Thrones had people really chill with this trend.
While HBO’s Game of Thrones is currently over, the spin offs continue. The next Game of Thrones (GoT) spin-off isn’t until 2025. George RR Martin has confirmed A Knight of Seven Kingdoms will continue the story. Aside from the merch and memes, it has also spun on “experiences”. But one of the most chill things is did Game of Thrones stars help this weed trend to chill out? Playing characters on GoT could be tense, but it helped bond the cast. Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams become good friends and to relax from long days of filming Sansa and Arya Stark, they would get stoned and take a bath.
Now they are two ways to take a weed bath. One, like Sophie and Maisie, you can consume some gummies, use a vape or go old school and smoke or you can take one and use a bath bomb. The goal is to relax and chill, so fold in some music and just let the warm water wash over you. Social media extolls the benefits of a relaxing bath, especially if marijuana is blended in.
A THC bath bomb is the same thing as a normal bath bomb, but with THC. They contain essential oils, extracts, and of course, cannabinoids, which dissolve when they are dropped into your bathwater. They use the same science as a cannabis topical. Your endocannabinoid system consists of an intricate network of receptors that are activated both by our body’s own endocannabinoids and by the marijuana plant’s phytocannabinoids.
When you submerge your body into water enhanced by a THC bath bomb, you’re coating the receptors in your skin with the cannabinoids inside the bath bomb. While you mentally might get high, it can create a full body effect similar to if you rubbed THC oil all over yourself. This “body high,” as it is sometimes called, can be different for everyone, but most people find it to be relaxing.
Sophie Turner shared “We’re kind of like loners on Game of Thrones, just because the past few seasons Maisie and I have sleepovers every night when we’re shooting. Or every night whenever both of us are in town. We just used to sit there and eat and watch stupid videos and smoke weed. I don’t know if my publicist will kill me for saying this. We’d get high and then we’d sit in the bath together and we’d rub makeup brushes on our faces. It’s fun.”
Set the mood, drop in the bath bomb and slip into a little piece of heaven. Let the music, weed and warm water water wash over you.
