As you may know, there are some strains that give you energy while others help you sleep. Some can target anxiety while others can target physical pain.
If you’re looking to help you get into the right mood, keep reading. We’re sharing with you seven cannabis strains that can help enhance your mood.
Before you find the strain that works best for your needs, you need to know the basics between the different types. Cannabis is usually grouped into three different groups:
Sativa strains are best if you’re looking for a more “brainy” high. In other words, if you’re looking to boost your mood, you should look toward strains containing mostly Sativa.
Sativa strains are known to produce the following:
You may even notice you get the giggles when you use a Sativa strain.
Indica strains are best if you’re looking to relax. Strains containing mostly Indica can help with the following:
There are also strains of marijuana that contain a mix of both Indica and Sativa. However, hybrids don’t mean that there’s an even mix of Sativa and Indica.
It depends on what strain you buy as to whether it will be more Sativa-dominated or Indica-dominated. Very few are an even combination.
Just because a strain is Indica-based, that doesn’t mean you’ll get the exact same feeling in every Indica-dominant strain. The same is true for Sativas and Hybrids.
The specific terpenes in each strain change how your body processes cannabinoids. Each strain produces its own unique feeling.
When in doubt, speak to your budtender to ask which strain is right for your needs.
Purple Kush is a favorite among connoisseurs. Made from Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani, it’s known for its relaxing effects.
It’s also almost exclusively an Indica strain.
Kush is great if you’re looking to feel any of the following effects:
It has a slightly grapey taste if you’re planning on smoking it.
While the name Cannatonic makes it sound like it will put you into a zombie-like state, you won’t. Instead, you’ll enjoy a psychoactive buzz that won’t overwhelm you.
Canntonic is made from MK Ultra and G-13. That makes it a hybrid so you’ll feel the effects of an Indica strain but it smells and tastes like a Sativa strain.

There are quite a few choices for how you want to ingest your cannabis. Some choose to smoke it while others enjoy edibles.
All of that makes a difference in how it will affect your body. Often edibles are known for lasting longer and producing a more powerful effect. Smoking a strain often lasts between two-three hours.
Always start out using a small amount until you’re sure of the effects a new strain will have on you. Never drive after ingesting cannabis in any form.
No matter what ails you, staying active benefits both the mind and the body. It’s not always easy to do that when your body and/or mind tells you differently.
