You aren’t alone if you find yourself overwhelmed when browsing the buds in your local dispensary. With the legalization of marijuana in Washington State comes a higher-level understanding of its full range of uses. Many turn to cannabis for pain management, improved sleep, increased energy, and more. Choosing goal-specific strains aligns with the growing trend of personalized health and wellness. Below are the top 5 strains of cannabis for energy.
How Cannabis Boosts Energy?
There are over 700 weed strains including a growing range of hybrid varieties. Each strain has a different range of active compounds (cannabinoids and terpenes). These plant compounds work synergistically to deliver desired results.
Most cannabis falls under 2 primary categories, sativa and indica:
Sativa
Sativa strains deliver an energizing high that can boost your energy. They increase dopamine levels in the brain, stimulating the body’s reward response.
Benefits may include:
● Boosting energy
● Improving mood
● Stimulating creativity
● Sharpening focus
● Unlocking the mind
● Appetite stimulant
Indica
Indica is higher in CBD than sativa, promoting slightly different outcomes. This is the strain more likely to make you feel sleepy.
Benefits may include:
● Relaxation
● Reduced insomnia
● Pain management
● Minimized nausea
● Appetite stimulant
The Best Cannabis For Energy
Now, let’s dive into the top strains to consider if you’ll be taking cannabis for energy. These are general suggestions, but feel free to inquire specifically about the Better Buds menu. We can advise on cannabis content, including the THC, CBD, and terpenes that promote energy, focus, and creativity.
#1 Diesel
There are a variety of Diesel hybrids. All strains of Diesel (Sour, Thai, Detroit, Lemon, etc.) can optimize energy levels.
● THC content: From 4% to 73% depending on the strain.
#2 Jack Herer
Jack Herer is a top option for promoting energy, especially when you’re feeling a bit down. This is one of many strains named after cannabis activist Jack Herer.
● THC content: From 4% to 28% depending on the strain.
#3 Super Lemon Haze
Super Lemon Haze is considered multi-purpose, promoting focus, inspiration, creativity, happiness, and energy.
● THC content: From 0.39% to 81%.
#4 Green Crack
Despite the name, Green Crack doesn’t contain crack. This strain is dual-purpose, as it promotes relaxation and happiness. Use it to boost your mood or to wind down at the end of a long day.
● THC content: From 0.52% to 24%.
#4 Goal-Specific Sativa Hybrids
In addition to prioritizing sativa over indica, you can further tailor your cannabis for energy and other objectives. This might include a higher CBD concentration to promote pain management, goal-specific terpenes, or full-spectrum hybrids for maximum synergetic benefits.
Just ask, and we’ll help you narrow down your top options!
#5 Indica Sleep Strains
The strains above boost your energy levels, but if your energy is low due to pain or insomnia—an indica variety may be a better fit. Take at least 2 hours before bed to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake feeling energized.
