≋✺Permanent Runtz — Slow Current — Six Waters Cannabis Field Notes


Opening Reflection

Permanent Runtz cannabis strain featured in Six Waters Cannabis Field Notes showing terpene profile and slow current effects for the neurodivergent body.

This morning did not begin with cannabis alone.


It began with water, with tea, with a small gathering of plants working in quiet agreement. Steam rising. Breath slowing. The body being spoken to before the day fully arrived.


Permanent Runtz entered that space gently.


Not as a dominant voice, but as part of a chorus — steadying the system, softening the edges, allowing the mind and body to move together rather than apart.


Some strains take the lead.


Some strains know how to blend.

Dawn ≋Permanent Runtz — Slow Current — Six Waters Cannabis Field Notes


The bowl was packed with flower only, no moon rocks.

Halfway through the bowl, the onset arrived quickly — not as a mental rush but as an immediate sense of calm spreading through both body and mind.


The day had already begun on a steadier foundation due to a full night of sleep supported by RSO.


About 7.5 hours of sleep, though slightly interrupted by heat and temperature changes.



River

The primary sensation of this strain was slow movement rather than stimulation.


For me, a “slow motion” strain does not mean sedation. It means the nervous system settles into a pace that feels natural rather than forced.


Permanent Runtz placed the body into a good working rhythm.


Focus increased rather than scattered. I found myself detailing the morning tea preparation and thinking more deeply about the terpenes present across the plants I was working with.



Deep

The deeper water today appeared through plant study and reflection.


Instead of pulling emotional memory upward, the strain supported thoughtful observation.


The mind turned toward curiosity — noticing scent, terpene structure, and how the plants in the tea might interact with the cannabis.


Still

Still water appeared as the dominant state.


The body relaxed while the mind stayed organized.


Looping thoughts remained present but were noticeably quieter.


Part of this likely came from the combination of:


• good sleep

• light physical movement the previous day

• supporting herbs

• and the terpene balance within Permanent Runtz.



Mist

Lingering effects remained calm and steady rather than energetic.

Focus stayed present.


The overall feeling was that the nervous system had settled into its lane.



Boil

No boil state occurred.


The strain remained stable and regulating.

Primary effects observed:


• full body calm

• steady pacing of thoughts

• increased focus

• reduced looping


Loop disruption rating: 4 / 10


Lower disruption does not necessarily mean weaker medicine. The baseline nervous system state was already more regulated due to sleep and previous plant support.


Sometimes the plant is not correcting a storm.


Sometimes it is simply keeping the water level.


Terpene Reflection


Permanent Runtz expresses three key terpenes that strongly influence the experience:


Caryophyllene

A terpene that interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system and often brings

grounding to both mind and body. It tends to reduce inflammation and nervous tension.


Limonene

Brightens mood and lifts emotional heaviness without necessarily creating mental overstimulation.


Myrcene

Encourages muscular relaxation and slower nervous system pacing.

Together these terpenes create the “slow current” feeling — calm, steady, and grounded.


Supporting Herbal Companions

Oat Tops (Avena sativa)


The green, milky tops of the oat plant are often used to restore the nervous system after long periods of stress or exhaustion.


Rather than acting quickly like caffeine or sedatives, oat tops nourish the body slowly, helping frayed nerves rebuild strength over time.


They are a plant of gentle repair.


Mullein


Mullein carries a long tradition as a protector of the lungs.


Its soft leaves have been used across cultures to open the breath and soothe irritated airways, especially for people who regularly inhale smoke.


In my own language of plants, mullein feels like a guardian of the breathing passage, keeping the doorway between plant and body clear.



Damiana


Damiana is a small shrub native to Mexico and Central America.


It is known for its ability to lift mood while also calming the nervous system, creating a subtle sense of warmth and openness in the body.


Historically it has also been associated with sensual energy and vitality, reminding the body that pleasure and calm can coexist.



Lemon Balm


Lemon balm carries a bright citrus scent and belongs to the mint family.


It is one of the gentlest plants for easing anxiety and emotional tension while bringing clarity back to the mind.


In practice it often feels like soft sunlight for the nervous system — lifting the mood while helping the body exhale.

Aromatic Observation


Permanent Runtz carried a strong gassy scent, likely inherited from the Permanent Marker lineage.


Interestingly, the sweeter fruit notes typically associated with Runtz were less present here.


Instead of candy sweetness, the aroma leaned more toward fuel and earth.



Closing Reflection

Cannabis rarely speaks alone.


Today it spoke alongside tea, breath, sleep, and yesterday’s movement.


Permanent Runtz did not try to steer the day dramatically.


It simply slowed the current enough for the body to move within it.


And sometimes that is the most useful medicine of all.

8:30 am packed bowl of Permanent Runtz, flower only.


Halfway through bowl immediate calm in body and brain.


Strain feels slow motion — placing nervous system into a comfortable pace.


Strawberry Cough (via Luster Pod vape) used lightly earlier to help manage looping baseline.


Morning tea: oat tops, mullein, damiana, butterfly pea, lemon balm.


Focus increased while preparing tea and reflecting on terpene interactions between plants.


Looping present but minimal.


Loop disruption: 4 / 10


Slept about 7.5 hours with RSO, slight sleep disruption due to heat.
