In contrast, indica varieties usually have more sedative-causing terpenes. However, not every indica helps you sleep, and not every sativa wakes you up. In this article, we discuss the varieties that are best for delivering a dose of energy. You may find these strains helpful, whether you are fatigued or merely having one of those days. Read on to find out what strains may give you an energy boost. Super Lemon Haze is an extremely popular strain among cannabis smokers.
It won first prize in and in the High Times Cannabis Cup. As its name suggests, this strain has a very citrusy scent and taste, with some undertones of pine. Its robust and lemon flavor is sure to wake you up. Some users say this strain gives your morning espresso a run for its money. Super Lemon Haze is a great energizer, leaving users with a sense of euphoria after they light up.
Some users report a heightened sense of creativity, too. When coupled with your increase in energy, this could lead to some productive activities!
However, some users say they get an attack of the munchies, so have some snacks handy. Want an interesting fact about Green Crack? Physically, Green Crack appears like an indica plant.
Rest assured, however, that it gives you the same buzzy high as any other sativa strain. Some users claim they feel more focused after using this variety of cannabis.
This strain produces a considerable energy boost, a reasonable degree of euphoria, and may even help your creativity. Be aware, however, that the potency of Green Crack can cause psychedelic effects. Some users report paranoia and panic attacks due to the intensity of the high. A little goes a long way here, so smoke within your limits and get ready to recharge!
Durban Poison is an excellent sativa strain cultivated in Africa and suited to such growing conditions. Although this strain is like an indica plant in terms of structure, the long, tapered shape betrays its sativa nature.
Durban Poison delivers a high that is almost entirely cerebral. For as long as humans have known about weed, they've been smoking it to unwind. But with the rapidly multiplying strains and hybrids of marijuana out there, it's best to know which can alleviate your anxiety — and which could actually make it worse.
Anecdotally, it's obvious that regular pot users can be relaxed to a fault — but it's important to note that the jury's still out on scientific evidence concerning weed's efficacy in treating anxiety disorders. So get informed: If you want to take the edge off without sinking all the way into your couch, here are some popular types of weed to try.
Throughout the human body, there are cannabinoid receptors that help to regulate everything from our appetites to our moods to our sense of pain. Marijuana's main pair of cannabinoid chemicals, tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol THC and CBD , exert significant influence on this network, also called the endocannabinoid system. We're still figuring out how these receptors respond to the active ingredients in weed, and where they can be found.
But a study published in by Vanderbilt University researchers looking at mice brains confirmed their presence in the amygdala , a part of the brain that helps regulate anxiety and that fight-or-flight feeling. Previous studies, the authors said , have hinted that stress or anxiety causes a reduction in the body's natural endocannabinoids and dampens the receptors, which can lead to panic.
Presumably, marijuana floods the amygdala with its own cannabinoids, thereby keeping us calm. Of course, the long-term effect may be to make us more dependent on these outside chemicals because we're not producing as much of our own anymore.
And it's possible that some people become more anxious under the influence because their natural cannabinoids are being suppressed by the drug's. What does all this mean for you when you're shopping at a dispensary? Well, things get a little oversimplified there. Cannabis sativa comes from warmer parts of the world, such as Southeast Asia and Central and South America. The general perception is that it provides a more energizing and creative high, though it can prompt anxiety in some people.
Sativa can also be helpful for people with depression, headaches, nausea, and appetite loss. Again, it is important to note that some scientific research negates these claims. Some sativa plants may be energizing while others may not. The same goes for indica strains. People bred hybrids, for example, to make plants that grow more quickly, improve yield, and balance out the energizing and calming effects.
Cannabis ruderalis has its origins in cooler parts of the world, such as Russia and the border between Hungary and Ukraine. It grows wild, and some speculate that it may descend from escaped hemp plants. It does not have very high levels of THC or CBD, but breeders value it for its ability to flower by itself, without assistance from a cultivator.
This is why people frequently use ruderalis to create hybrids with sativa or indica. The table below describes some common strains of marijuana, including the amounts of THC they contain. These numbers come from a study that found no evidence to suggest that indica and sativa are distinctly different.
The table shows a huge variation across strains and within specific strains. Traditionally, determining the answers to the following questions has helped a person find the correct strain of marijuana for them:.
However, much more research into the categorization of different strains and their effects is now necessary. In an interview in the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research , Dr. Ethan Russo — a psychopharmacology researcher and neurologist — suggests a strong case against what people generally believe about the indica vs. Anecdotal evidence suggests that sativa is more energizing and indica is more relaxing, but the scientific reality is far more complicated.
In fact, many different chemical compounds are involved in creating the medical and recreational effects of cannabis. Although there may be some truth to the differences between the two plants, it is important for a person to look at the biochemical content of the individual strains in order to choose the strain most suited to their needs. Even within the specific strains, research has proven that there is a huge possible variation in THC content, which suggests that the same is true for other cannabinoids.
Marijuana has several potential physical and psychological effects on the body, such as lung irritation and increased appetite.
