Welcome to This Is Why I’m High Learn
We’re excited to launch This Is Why I’m High Learn, your comprehensive resource for cannabis education. Whether you’re new to cannabis or a seasoned enthusiast, our goal is to provide you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions.
What You’ll Find Here
Our blog covers a wide range of topics designed to enhance your understanding of cannabis:

Our Approach
At This Is Why I’m High, we believe in science-backed education. Every article we publish is grounded in research and designed to cut through the noise. We’re moving beyond outdated myths and embracing what modern science tells us about cannabis.
The High Families
One of our key innovations is the High Families classification system. Rather than relying solely on indica/sativa labels, we focus on:
- Terpene Profiles - The aromatic compounds that shape your experience
- Cannabinoid Ratios - THC, CBD, and beyond
- Effect Families - Predictable categories based on chemistry

We’ll be publishing new content regularly, covering everything from beginner guides to advanced topics. Make sure to check back often, and don’t hesitate to explore our strain database to put your knowledge into practice.

Medical student here. Cannabis pharmacology is almost completely absent from medical education despite its rapidly expanding clinical relevance. Resources like this are filling a gap that medical schools should be addressing. I use this site alongside peer-reviewed literature because the explanations are genuinely clearer than many primary sources.
Hope to see harm reduction and prevention content alongside the enthusiasm for cannabis wellness. The science of when cannabis isn't appropriate — youth use, pregnancy, certain psychiatric conditions — is equally important and often missing from cannabis education sites that naturally attract pro-cannabis audiences.
Finally a cannabis education resource that leads with science instead of vibes and brand partnerships. The High Families concept alone is worth bookmarking this site. I've been looking for a framework that goes beyond indica/sativa for years and this is the first place I've found it explained accessibly.
The cannabis industry desperately needs consumer education infrastructure that isn't funded by brands with something to sell. The conflict of interest problem in cannabis content is significant — most of what passes for education is actually marketing. A genuinely independent, science-first platform has real value to the whole ecosystem.
The intersection of consumer education and science-based policy is critical right now. Regulators are making decisions about labeling, potency caps, and product categories with limited consumer feedback grounded in actual science. A well-educated consumer base creates better political pressure for evidence-based regulation. Sites like this matter beyond just individual purchasing decisions.
