Our Top 5 Weed Strains for a Great High!

To those who have never smoked cannabis, there is a (mistaken) belief that there is only one high,
and it is because of that single high that people smoke cannabis.
Who wants to tell them just how wrong they are?
How do you explain why they are wrong?
Maybe we should tell them about THC and how varying levels of THC can affect the way our brain
reacts, leaving us feeling either energized, euphoric, uplifted, relaxed, or sleepy.
More to the point, THC is ‘counterbalanced by CBD, which has a more calming and sedative effect.
That is why in many instances marijuana or cannabis is illegal, but CBD, one of its constituents isn’t.
In simple terms, CBD is not a ‘psychoactive’.
Finally, there are hundreds of chemicals in marijuana, and it is the combination of some of these with THC and CBD that can ultimately create different highs, not to mention terpene levels and our own physiology.
So, perhaps we should now look at the varying strains of cannabis that are specifically associated
with a specific high.
Let’s start with Energized.
Think Green Crack. This is a legendary sativa strain dating back to the 1970s and, for obvious reasons, is well suited to daytime enjoyment.
Green Crack is also abundant in myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene terpenes, though knowing that
may leave you feeling none the wiser!
Other strains worth considering for an energy boost are Jack Herer and Durban Poison.
How about uplifted?
Sour Diesel probably takes the crown for this effect, the plant being a potent sativa-dominant hybrid.
Most prominent terpenes include myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene.
If you fancy something less well known for its uplifting effects, check out Super Silver Haze or Tangie.
Now the euphoric high takes a lot of beating, and hence the popularity of OG Kush.
Not only is the high euphoric, it is also long lasting, but it also comes with a codicil.
Where most highs leave you ultimately feeling sleepy or energized, Hindu Kush will just leave you
feeling stoned!
If you want the same high, but without the strength of OG Kush, why not try GSC or Wedding Cake
instead?
If you’ve had a stressful day, then maybe a nice relaxed high is what you need.
Look no further than Blue Dream, which will also add a hint of euphoria to the mix, thanks to this
hybrid cross of Blueberry and Haze.
Dominant in myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene terpenes, users of Blue Dream are usually easy to
spot when high, they have a great big smile on their face!
Similar effects can be achieved with Apple Fritter and Purple Punch.
Having trouble sleeping – are you suffering from insomnia?
Obviously if this is affecting your health, then you need to see a doctor.
However, if it is only a minor problem, then Grandaddy Purple could be your perfect ‘nightcap’ just
before bedtime.
This is an indica cross between Purple Urkle and Big Bud and no, we didn’t say Big Bird, though it is
not uncommon to see characters from Sesame Street when you get high!
Rich in myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene terpenes, other popular sedative cannabis strains include Blackberry Kush and Bubba Kush.

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

I get anxiety now in my older age whenever I smoke sativas. I used to smoke a lot of sativa when I was younger and no anxiety. Even a strong indica can give me anxiety. But Blueberry muffin strain doesn't seem to affect me with anxiety. I probably need to build a better tolerance. I was a severe alcoholic and I now have stage 4 cirrhosis. I find cannabis helps me with sleep and appetite which both are affected by cirrhosis. My doctor says that my health is remarkable given the damage to my liver. I started getting better after I started growing cannabis and garden vegetables. It's good for my head. I thank the Lord for giving us every seed bearing fruit for food and medicine. Thank you @Cannabis Experts for your videos.

Wow, several favorites on this list: Durban Poison, OG Kush, Sour Diesel, and my all time favorite indica, Grandaddy Purple. Great list!!❤

Northern Lights has been my go to strain since the mid 80's. It just checks all the boxes of what I'm looking for after a days work.
-
For many, many years Wedding Cake and Granddaddy Purple have remained my go-to in most situations. For my particular needs those two never disappoint.

Good strains listed here. I grew Trainwreck last year; grew to nearly 8 ft tall and produced a huge yield. Very good strain. Blue Dream is also a great overall high. Very functional. I grew CBD Harlequin this year after reading great reviews on this gem. Still curing...can't wait to try it.

I absolutely love Grandaddy Purple. Super relaxing, and great for sleep

one of the best strains in my opinion that i use quite a lot is purple haze, it just provides a pretty strong stoned high, feeling relaxed
-
Just started growing 6 different plants. I`m gonna have my own coffe shop in a few months🤩So I tried to choose a nice variety of plants and the winners this time were: amnesia haze, white widow, Royal AK, OG Kush, Critical Kush and Northern Lights. So excited.

Durban Poison is my favorite of those 5. The plants i grew just made me happy when smoked!

This should be a medical commercial! I watched the whole dang thing! Good job on this one! 😁
-
i currently have a strain of pineapple express. as the breeders describe it: ~15% thc, and ~3-5% cbd. its great. all over relaxation, not concentrated in the head or elsewhere like some others. purple punch is also on my list of strains to grow sooner or later. after i finish this strawberry cheesecake im about to grow.
-
My current favorite strain is Amnesia Auto from Seedsman. I've grown it many times and the quality is always consistent. It gives an uplifting, euphoric high that is perfect for chilling with friends or playing video games. Great for both day and night time smoke. It's so good! My favorite dispensary weed at the moment is Cereal Milk. I will have to give some of the strains in this video a try!
-
Love the video. I have smoked all of the strains listed being a smoker for 25 plus yrs. I would have to say my favorite strain is OG kush a close second that wasn't mentioned is Mexican red hair. Would love to be able to grow some for myself some day. Well keep up the good work guys and peace out.
-
That was a good list of strains! I myself like an energetic, up lifting type of high. I like my sativas

White Widow was my first ounce. Durban Poison was my first grow.
