										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even if you’re not one of those weed geeks who can identify every strain by its THC content, taste, and aroma, you probably think you know the difference between sativa and indica.</p>
<p>“Sativa is energizing; indica is relaxing.”</p>
<p>Or, as a stoner might put it, “Sativa gets you wasted, Indica puts you to sleep.”</p>
<p>That’s common wisdom, and it certainly approaches the truth. But the distinctions can be a lot more subtle than that.</p>
<p>White Fire OG is Indica-dominant (a hybrid with more indica than sativa characteristics), but it can blow you away without putting you to sleep. On the other hand, Gorilla Glue #4 is a sativa-dominant strain, but it might have you couch-locked in no time at all.</p>
<p>So it’s important to put aside some of the preconceptions. (One neurologist famous for studying marijuana calls the commercial definitions of sativa and indica “nonsense.”)</p>
<p>The first things you need to do when looking for the “best sativa strains” are to understand what sativa means and to specify exactly what you’re hoping to experience when you spark up.</p>
<h2><b>What Makes Sativa “Sativa?”</b></h2>
<p>Sativa is one of two major subspecies of cannabis plants; the other, of course, is indica. (There’s a third type called ruderalis, but it doesn’t produce a lot of usable buds.) You may be surprised to learn that sativa isn’t defined by the effects of its flower but by the characteristics of the plant; sativa is tall and thin with long, pointy leaves, while indica is bushier and shorter with leaves to match.</p>
<p>Unless you’re a grower, though, what the plant looks like doesn’t really matter much. What you’re concerned with is what happens when you smoke or consume it.</p>
<h2><b>The Different Effects of Sativa Strains</b></h2>
<p>Why do sativas have the reputation of getting you high while indicas are said to sedate you? It’s because of the amount and type of cannabinoids (<a href="https://www.webehigh.com/cbd-vs-thc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">primarily THC and CBD</a>) and terpenes (the oils which determine aroma and taste) they contain.</p>
<p>The majority of sativa strains or sativa-dominant hybrids are high in THC and low in CBD. And since THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid in a pot, that’s why most sativas have earned the reputation for delivering powerful head highs. By contrast, sativas generally have lower THC content and higher CBD, so the high isn’t as strong, and the relaxing body effects are noticeable.</p>
<p>However, notice that we used words like “majority” and “most” in that summary. That’s because there are some sativas with lower THC content and more CBD than you’d expect, and vice versa.</p>
<p>And simply looking at THC content percentages isn’t a good guide to how buzzed you’re going to get from a particular strain. The interaction between all cannabinoids (including lesser ones like CBN) and the terpenes gives every strain a different head and body effect, whether it’s sativa, indica, or a hybrid of the two.</p>
<p>So the “best sativa” can’t simply be judged by how much THC it has or how blasted you get after smoking it. Every strain has its unique characteristics – and its best uses.</p>
<p>Some sativas fit the “mind-blowing high” stereotype. Some will deliver a milder buzz or a trippy experience, some will provide a focused high that makes it easier to concentrate, and some are even mellow and relaxing.</p>
<p>Similarly, most sativas will let you function normally (or at least semi-normally) all day. But others will hit your body with the infamous couch lock, even though it’s “supposed to be” indicas that deliver body-numbing body relaxation. And different sativa or sativa-dominant strains will have different medical applications as well.</p>
<p>That’s why our list of the best sativa strains isn’t just aimed at telling you which type of weed will get you the highest. It also tells you which ones to choose for different experiences.</p>
<h2><b>Best Sativa Strains</b></h2>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-92069" src="https://www.webehigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Best_Sativa_Strains-1.jpg" alt="dried sativa weed strains in an open bottle" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://www.webehigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Best_Sativa_Strains-1.jpg 800w, https://www.webehigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Best_Sativa_Strains-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.webehigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Best_Sativa_Strains-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>The overwhelming trend in recent years has been toward hybrids; pure sativa strains still exist, and we’ll look at one, but the majority of the “best sativa” strains are actually sativa-dominant hybrids.</p>
<h3><b>Jack Herer</b></h3>
<p>Named after a prominent pot activist, Jack Herer is a much-loved sativa-dominant. It’s the best of its type for energy, as it hits fast and hits hard with its initial buzz and then morphs into a more relaxing and long-lasting “happy” high. THC levels can range from 15-25% depending on the source, and there’s low CBD content. That makes it a much better choice for enjoyment during the day than falling asleep at night.</p>
<p>Creativity and sociability are boosted for most users since the high leaves you energized and alert. The mellow feeling is good for helping ease depression, stress, and migraines, and it can have a minor beneficial effect on chronic pain. There are better sativas for medical use, though, and we’ll look at one shortly.</p>
<h3><b>Durban Poison</b></h3>
<p>Wake and bake? This is your choice. A pure sativa strain that is highly energetic, Durban Poison normally has THC content averaging around 20% with very little CBD so that you can use it in the morning or afternoon without fear of couch lock. It’s also the choice of many parties since the active high is often best when shared with friends.</p>
<p>This powerful strain hits people in different ways; most find it uplifting and ideal for creativity or sociability. For some, it goes several steps further to set their mind racing and worsen anxiety. Start slowly if you’re an inexperienced user.</p>
<h3><b>Green Crack</b></h3>
<p>Our next three choices are categorized as the “best” for specific purposes, and we start with Green Crack, the best sativa for focus. This is actually a hybrid that leans sativa heavily, and it provides the initial energy boost you’d expect, combined with a striking increase in attention span. You don’t feel the complete body relaxation you’d anticipate from the indica content, though, so you can remain focused for long periods of time. In fact, you’ll probably feel wired.</p>
<p>The THC content in this strain can range from 15-25% and is usually in the 20% area, with very little CBD. So when you combine that with the lack of a body stone, the medicinal benefits of Green Crack are rather limited. If you’ve got a complicated project that requires time and focus, however, here’s your go-to weed.</p>
<h3><b>Amnesia Haze</b></h3>
<p>No, despite its name, it won’t leave your brain hazy and unable to function. Haze is simply one of this sativa-dominant’s parent strains, and Amnesia Haze’s uplifting and cerebral high actually makes it the best sativa for creativity and deep thought. The high THC content (almost always over 20%, sometimes as high as 25%) makes the high long-lasting, stimulating, motivating – and if you’re smoking with friends – prone to bringing on prolonged cases of the giggles and munchies.</p>
<p>A secondary relaxation sets in after a while due to the strain’s indica content, so you won’t be up all night after using. The medicinal benefits are primarily for those who are depressed or suffering from attention-deficit disorders; there’s also a greater-than-normal tendency for users to freak out if they suffer from anxiety, so be cautious if that describes you.</p>
<h3><b>Sour Diesel</b></h3>
<p>This is the best sativa-dominant strain that combines therapeutic benefits with a terrific head high. Sour Diesel has a sativa/indica ratio that can hit 80/20, so it isn’t going to knock you out; instead, its 20%+ THC levels induce an energetic and somewhat spacy high, which can deliver a knock-out punch to depression and stress. Surprisingly, many users also feel impressive chronic pain relief despite the strain’s low CBD content. That’s likely due to its terpenes.</p>
<p>Again, this is a strain to avoid if you suffer from anxiety – and also if you dislike (or can’t afford to have others notice) an extremely pungent aroma. However, it’s the best sativa if you want to get blasted and feel better from top to bottom.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re having trouble relaxing or sleeping, or you’re suffering from chronic pain, the first thing your “weed expert” friends will tell you is to pick up some indica the next time you hit the dispensary or see your dealer. In fact, some doctors will tell you the same thing.</p>
<p>It’s certainly true that indica strains are more likely than sativas to deliver relaxation and medicinal benefits. So if you need an easy-to-remember guideline, that’s as good as any.</p>
<p>It’s a bit of an over-simplification, though. Here’s a comparable example.</p>
<p>Someone who has trouble waking up in the morning will probably reach for a cup of coffee right after they wake up. That makes sense. But a double espresso is not the same as a cup of instant coffee, and both are very different from a cup of decaf.</p>
<p>In that situation, the type of coffee will make all the difference. And when choosing an indica for relaxation, for sleep, or pain relief, the <i>strain</i> of indica will make all the difference.</p>
<p>Some indica-dominants contain virtually no psychoactive THC, but a few have THC levels on a par with some of the strongest sativas. Some will induce an immediate couch lock, while others will keep you on your feet and functioning well.</p>
<p>So you shouldn’t just ask, “what’s the best indica strain?” You should also ask yourself, “what effects or benefits do I want the strain to provide?”</p>
<p>But we can start with an even simpler question.</p>
<h2><b>What Is an Indica?</b></h2>
<p>There are two major subspecies of cannabis, sativa and indica, and they’re not defined by what happens when you smoke, vape, or consume them. Their physical characteristics identify them. Indica plants are distinguishable because they’ve developed and adapted over the years to survive in cold and windy climates.</p>
<p>They’re short and bushy, with thick broad foliage that’s normally dark green in color due to high chlorophyll levels – necessary to maximize the amount of sunlight they absorb. Indica has dense buds that flower quickly and produce lots of resin, ideal for short growing seasons and protection against infestation.</p>
<p>You’ll notice that there was not one word about relaxation, cannabinoids, or pain relief in that description. That reinforces the fact that effects and benefits don’t define indicas. Effects and benefits vary depending on the specific strain you choose.</p>
<h2><b>Types of Indica Strains</b></h2>
<p>One quick note: in this article, we’re lumping pure indica and indica-dominant strains together. Pure indicas do still exist, of course, but you’re more likely to find indica/sativa hybrids <a href="https://www.webehigh.com/how-to-find-weed-anywhere/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in today’s market</a>.</p>
<p>Almost all indica strains will provide more relaxation – or in the more extreme examples, couch-lock and sedation – than sativas. That’s believed to be due to specific terpenes like myrcene commonly found in indica plants rather than the <a href="https://www.webehigh.com/best-high-cbd-low-thc-marijuana-strains/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">higher CBD levels</a> typically found in them.</p>
<p>But some indicas will deliver the type of head high more often associated with sativas before relaxation sets in. Here’s why.</p>
<p>Creative breeding has led to newer indica strains like Kosher Kush and The White, which are bred to have very high THC levels, often well over 20%. They’ll begin with a euphoric high, ideal for boosting focus or inspiring creativity before body lock takes over and the mind goes along for the ride.</p>
<p>However, more traditional indicas have much lower THC levels (between 5-15%) and will quickly relax both the head and brain without a mind-blowing high. Additionally, their usually higher CBD content is ideal for pain relief and fighting insomnia.</p>
<p>Finally, some indica-dominant strains have been bred to have virtually no THC content at all. These CBD-heavy indicas are intended primarily for medical marijuana patients dealing with chronic pain or serious illnesses like multiple sclerosis.</p>
<p>To sum up, determining the best indica strain is more a matter of determining the best indica strain for your own preferences and needs. Here are some suggestions.</p>
<h2><b>Best Indica Strains</b></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-92073" src="https://www.webehigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Best_Indica_Strains-1.jpg" alt="close up image of indica strain leaf" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://www.webehigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Best_Indica_Strains-1.jpg 800w, https://www.webehigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Best_Indica_Strains-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.webehigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Best_Indica_Strains-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<h3><b>Granddaddy Purple</b></h3>
<p>You don’t have to go any further than this prevalent strain to prove that not all indicas spare the head when delivering a strong body blow. With an average THC content of around 20%, GDP delivers an immediate euphoric high that can lean to the slightly trippy side before the mind’s relaxation catches up with the body. Eventually, the full buzz is likely to land you on the couch or into your favorite chair.</p>
<p>There’s a decent amount of CBD in this strain, too, so it’s sought-after for its medical effects. It works wonders to relieve aching muscles and chronic pain, as well as depression. And the legendary body melt is perfect for fighting insomnia and getting a good night’s sleep. Don’t overlook the yummy taste and scent, either.</p>
<h3><b>Northern Lights</b></h3>
<p>Calm, calm, calm. There’s nothing like a few hits of Northern Lights to put your entire body into a blissful, happy numbness. This strain is almost pure indica and is usually the #1 example that people use to illustrate what a “classic” indica will do, even one with 15-20% THC content; the psychoactive cannabinoid contributes more dreamy laziness than an energetic high. You’ll probably be couch-locked after indulging, only getting up to grab some more munchies.</p>
<p>There isn’t a lot of CBD in Northern Lights, but the incredible numbing buzz is outstanding for treating pain nonetheless. It can relieve all types of body pain from arthritis, back pain, and chronic conditions, stress, depression, and nausea, and has won numerous awards for its medicinal power.</p>
<h3><b>G-13</b></h3>
<p>The legends surrounding the origins of G-13 belong more on a conspiracy website than in a botanical textbook. In a nutshell, some U.S. government agencies collected the best pot strains from all over the world and bred “superstrains” in a secret lab – and G-13 was the one liberated by a lab tech to be shared with the world.</p>
<p>If that does happen to be true, we owe the tech a huge debt. This strain ranges from pure indica (rare) to a 70/30 hybrid (more likely) with generous amounts of THC and is a world-class mood enhancer. It opens with a creative euphoria and then quickly settles into serious body relaxation that will calm your way down but only produces body lock in some users. If you’re one of the ones who can handle G-13 without feeling heavy, it’s amazing for all-day relief of chronic pain, inflammation, fibromyalgia, and lupus, stomach issues, stress, and depression.</p>
<h3><b>Harlequin</b></h3>
<p>We close out with two of the best indicas that provide relaxation and pain relief without a strong high. Indica-dominant Harlequin is typically 5:2 CBD to THC, so its psychoactive effects are relatively pleasant and uplifting. That leaves the CBD to do its work relatively unimpeded by a heavy head high, with its fabulous relief of nerve, muscle, and joint pains, making it a favorite of those who need help with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.</p>
<p>The uplifting mood contributed by this strain also helps with chronic depression. And its lower THC content makes Harlequin a far better choice for those who suffer from anxiety because it won’t cause the paranoia that THC can sometimes induce in those patients. This is an indica that won’t couch-lock you in any way; it will let you get things done while you’re feeling better.</p>
<h3><b>Remedy</b></h3>
<p>As you’ve probably guessed, this is an indica-dominant strain bred specifically for pain relief. The THC content is generally below 1%, so there’s virtually no psychoactive effect whatsoever. The remedy is slow to act, so the experience starts with full-body relaxation, followed by a tingly feeling and the easing of pain throughout the body.</p>
<p>For most users, this is a strain that can be used throughout the day to allow full function and perhaps even replace opioids for pain relief. Of course, there’s no law saying it can’t be used recreationally (that is, in states where it’s legal), and it’s a great choice for reducing stress, being able to relax after work, or slowly drift off to sleep.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cannabidiol (CBD) is the main non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the marijuana plant. Unlike THC, it has potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-anxiety benefits.</p>
<p>In the past, most marijuana breeders focused on creating as high THC concentration as possible. More recently, however, as we began to learn more about the medicinal potency of CBD, more and more breeders are beginning to focus instead on the CBD content of their crops. We now have access to a variety of high-CBD marijuana strains, useful for a wide range of medical conditions.</p>
<p>We’ve put together a list of the best high-CBD strains available today. We’ve included a few different strains, some having mild psychoactivity others with no psychoactivity at all.</p>
<h2><b>A Brief History Of High-CBD Marijuana</b></h2>
<p>High CBD strains made headlines after the story of a little girl named Charlotte, who suffered from severe and crippling epilepsy on a daily basis. The only treatment that proved useful after years of trying different medications was CBD.</p>
<p>This story became well known throughout the world, and became the driving force behind the legalization movement of marijuana, especially in the United States.</p>
<p>Since then, many marijuana breeders have begun developing strains high in CBD, and low in the psychoactive THC component.</p>
<h2><b>What Is CBD?</b></h2>
<p>There are over 60 different cannabinoids in the marijuana plant, each with their own set of benefits. The majority of the cannabinoid content in a given strain of marijuana tends to be either CBD (cannabidiol) or THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).</p>
<p>CBD is non-psychoactive and provides most of the pain-relieving, relaxing, and neuro-regulating benefits of the marijuana plant.</p>
<p>For more detailed information on CBD, visit our CBD guide.</p>
<h2><b>What Is THC?</b></h2>
<p>The other main cannabinoid, THC, is the psychoactive component of the marijuana plant.</p>
<p>THC provides the euphoric, appetite-stimulating, and neurological benefits of the cannabis plant. It’s also the main reason why many marijuana users might find themselves feeling paranoid and anxious after using high-THC marijuana.</p>
<h2><b>What Are High CBD/Low THC Strains Used For?</b></h2>
<p>THC has many benefits of its own but lacks the ability to reduce pain, treat anxiety and depression, and reduce the severity or frequency of epileptic seizures. For this reason, many breeders are choosing to develop strains low in THC so that they can focus on the medicinal benefits of the CBD content instead.</p>
<p>These strains generally range from mild psychoactivity to non-psychoactive. This makes them useful for children or those looking to receive the benefits of CBD without any changes in sobriety such as at work or school.</p>
<p>High-CBD/Low-THC Strains Are Used For:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pain relief</li>
<li>Cognitive enhancement (mild)</li>
<li>Stress reduction</li>
<li>PTSD treatment</li>
<li>Epileptic seizure reduction</li>
<li>Anxiety relief</li>
<li>Insomnia relief</li>
<li>Promoting relaxation</li>
<li>Reducing depressive symptoms</li>
<li>Adjunctive treatment for cancer therapy</li>
</ul>
<h3><b>A Quick Note On Marijuana Terpenes</b></h3>
<p>Although the main focus of the strains on this list is CBD and THC, terpenes play an important role in the effect profile of a particular strain.</p>
<p>&#8220;Terpenes are small organic molecules found throughout the plant kingdom. They evaporate with little effort and have characteristic aromas. Pinene, for example, is a common terpene found in a variety of plants that have the characteristic aroma of pine trees. Limonene is another common terpene that gives citrus fruits their classic aroma. The marijuana plant can have hundreds of different terpenes in its leaves and flowers. This is why some marijuana strains can smell like roses, citrus fruits, geranium, or mint&#8221; says Augustine Hanger, founder of CBD weed manufacturer IHF, LLC – a wholesale provider of high CBD strains.</p>
<p>These terpenes share some medicinal effects as well. Some boost neurotransmitter production, others are anti-inflammatory, and some even boost the absorption and function of the cannabinoids themselves. These components are important to consider in the overall effect profile of the marijuana plant.</p>
<h2><b>Top 5 Best High CBD Strains</b></h2>
<h3><b>Charlotte&#8217;s Web</b></h3>
<p>Charlotte&#8217;s Web is the first strain on our list, and for good reason…</p>
<p>It has an incredible development story involving a little girl named Charlotte Figi who was suffering from seizures every 15 minutes. After her parents were unable to find effective treatment they turned to CBD out of pure desperation.</p>
<p>CBD was by far the most effective treatment the family tried. This eventually caught the attention of a pair of breeders in Colorado (The Stanley Brothers).</p>
<p>These breeders got to work developing a strain with the highest CBD content possible. They aptly named their result after Charlotte (Charlotte’s Web).</p>
<p>Despite being one of the first high-CBD strains developed, it remains one of the premier high-CBD strains on the market. Most commercial CBD oil on the market today is made from Charlotte’s Web.</p>
<p>Charlotte&#8217;s Web boasts an impressive 20% CBD content and less than 0.3% THC. It’s completely void of psychoactive effects but provides potent relief for pain, inflammation, and epileptic conditions.</p>
<p>Charlotte&#8217;s Web is similar to hemp in its chemical profile. It contains about 4.45% terpenes, the majority of which is linalool (2.25%).</p>
<p>Linalool has been shown to inhibit glutamate [3] which is the main stimulating neurotransmitter in the brain. Increased glutamate activity has been shown to be connected with epileptic conditions [4]. Linalool is likely one of the main reasons why Charlotte’s Web is so effective for treating seizures.</p>

<h3><b>Sour Tsunami</b></h3>
<p>Sour Tsunami was created by the late Lawrence Ringo, a superstar in the CBD community. This was a man who paved the way for CBD and marijuana legalization and has developed many of the world&#8217;s leading high-CBD strains.</p>
<p>After the death of this marijuana legend, another high-quality CBD strain was named in his honor (see “Ringo’s Gift” below).</p>
<p>Sour Tsunami was born from a combination of Sour Diesel and NYC Diesel. Both of these parent strains are fairly stimulating and contain fairly high THC. The pair makes for an unlikely set of parents for one of the best CBD strains in existence. This unlikely creation is a testament to Lawrence Ringo’s expertise in marijuana breeding.</p>
<p>Sour Tsunami has about 12% CBD and less than 1% THC. This appears to vary depending on how the plant is grown, however, with some samples tested showing as high as 6% THC.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, this strain is considered mildly stimulating, while maintaining the characteristic benefits of high CBD strains.</p>
<p>Sour Tsunami is rich in the terpenes <b>limonene</b> and <b>pinene</b>.</p>
<p>Limonene is useful for <b>boosting the effects of CBD and THC</b>. Pinene, on the other hand, has the ability to inhibit the enzyme that breaks down <b>acetylcholine</b>.</p>
<p>This neurotransmitter is an important player in the process of learning and memory. It’s a common mechanism for nootropic supplements aimed at boosting learning speed and memory.</p>
<p>Sour Tsunami is an excellent choice for those looking to receive the benefits of CBD during the day without feeling sedated. It has the benefits of some mild THC stimulation, which makes it good for improving concentration and focus.</p>
<p>It’s a favorite strain among many business professionals, creatives, and students.</p>

<h3><b>Ringo’s Gift</b></h3>
<p>Ringo&#8217;s Gift contains as much as 20 times more CBD than THC. In total, it has about 16% CBD and less than 1% THC.</p>
<p>Ringo’s Gift is the child of ACDC (see honorable mentions) and Harle-Tsu, which are impressively high-CBD strains of themselves.</p>
<p>Its low THC content allows for some mild psychoactivity, mostly in the form of background euphoria. This is a great strain for those looking to receive the benefits of high-CBD marijuana but doesn’t want the couch-lock and fatigue that often comes along with it. This makes Ringo’s Gift perfect as a daytime high-CBD strain.</p>
<p>Ringo’s Gift has a very low terpene content (&lt;1%) which means the majority of its benefits rely specifically on the CBD and THC concentrations. It also means that it has a very mild, earthy aroma.</p>

<h3><b>Harlequin</b></h3>
<p>Harlequin has the highest THC content of any of the other choices on the list. We’ve included it because despite having a higher THC content, its effect profile resembles that of a more CBD dominant strain. The THC content allows for some unique differences.</p>
<p>The CBD:THC ratio of this strain is somewhere between 5:2 and 2:1 (varying reports from cannabis analysis lab results).</p>
<p>Harlequin is great for promoting relaxation without being too sedating. In fact, it tends to be more uplifting on the mood than most of the other high CBD strains available, making it useful for increasing productivity and improving depression or anxiety.</p>
<p>This strain is highest in the terpenes <b>myrcene</b> and <b>pinene</b>.</p>
<p>Myrcene has been shown to provide analgesic effects through the opioid receptors in the brain. This is the same mechanism of action for pharmaceutical painkillers like codeine and morphine [5].</p>
<p>Myrcene has also been shown to improve muscle relaxation by increasing the activity of GABA [6], which is the neurotransmitter responsible for rest and relaxation.</p>
<p>Harlequin is often used in a similar respect to nootropics for boosting creativity, cognitive performance, and focus. It can be used to boost workflow by reducing anxiety and promotes clarity of thought while maintaining only mild psychoactive effects.</p>

</tbody>
</table>
<h3><b>Remedy</b></h3>
<p>The remedy is the most sedative of the high-CBD strains on this list. It’s a combination of Cannationnic (one of our honorable mentions) and Afghan Skunk.</p>
<p>The high terpene concentration is unique for a high-CBD strain, which is generally lower in terpene content than other, high-THC strains.</p>
<p>Of the terpenes, <b>limonene</b> is the most abundant terpene in Remedy.  This is the characteristic scent of lemons and citrus fruits and has some medicinal benefits of its own.</p>
<p>In one study, limonene was shown to boost serotonin activity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain [2]. It’s useful on its own as an antidepressant and anxiolytic (reducing anxiety). It’s also reported to enhance the effectiveness of other cannabinoids [1], making their effects more noticeable in the body.</p>
<p>In this way, it’s thought that the limonene content of Remedy is able to boost the overall effectiveness of the CBD, making it more comparable to some of the other strains on this list that contain as much as twice the CBD.</p>

<h2><b>Honorable Mentions</b></h2>
<p>Choosing only 5 of the many high-CBD strains available today was difficult. There are so many breeders producing high-quality strains with varying cannabinoid profiles.</p>
<p>Here are some of our honorable mentions.</p>
<h3><b>Pennywise</b></h3>
<p>Pennywise has high CBD but also contains fairly high THC. It’s a nearly perfect 1:1 ratio of the two cannabinoids.</p>
<p>The equal CBD: THC ratio makes it a jack of all trades, useful for high stress, insomnia, pain, fatigue, poor appetite, and anxiety.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it also produces a fair degree of psychoactive effects and can be very unpredictable from one user to the next. This is ultimately why it didn’t make our list of top 5.</p>
<h3><b>ACDC</b></h3>
<p>ACDC is overall a great strain, high in CBD (as much as 20%). The THC and terpene content can vary a fair amount and has proven to be unpredictable. THC can range from &lt;1% to over 6%.</p>
<p>This is a great strain for conditions like anxiety, pain, arthritis, and insomnia. Unfortunately, the high variability of this strain&#8217;s chemical profile makes it unreliable and its use involves a bit of a gamble.</p>
<p>It may be sedating to some, stimulating to others, and can have any degree of psychoactivity depending on the person.</p>
<h3><b>Cannatonic</b></h3>
<p>Cannatonnic has roughly double the CBD content to THC (15% and 7% respectively) as well as a higher level of another cannabinoid known as CBG (0.5%).</p>
<p>The CBG content offers some additional benefits towards treating pain and insomnia. It tends to complement the effects of CBD well without causing oversedation like other complimentary cannabinoids like CBN which is more often found in high-THC strains.</p>
<p>This is a great high-CBD strain but isn’t as powerful as any of the other strains on our list.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Whether you’re a medical marijuana expert or you’re just getting to know all the different strains, Blue Dream marijuana is the best weed around!</em></p>
<p>If you’ve heard of Blue Dream, but you have yet to try it, then this review is the perfect thing for you. We’re going to give you the full scoop on this strain so you can determine whether you’d like to try it out or not.</p>
<h2>Blue Dream Flavor</h2>
<p>Namely, the first thing you’ll notice when you sniff this strain is the pungent aroma. It smells incredibly fruity, and it will surely remind you of freshly picked blueberries!</p>
<p>The flavors are a mix of citrus, sandalwood, and grape. However, contrary to what you may expect, this weed isn’t at all blue or purple. In fact, it’s more of a green colored weed, with a hint of yellow and orange. Not at all what you would expect from a blueberry-scented strain.</p>
<p>Now, let’s get down to the good stuff — the effects.</p>
<h2>Effects of Blue Dream</h2>
<p>Blue Dream is a hybrid cannabis weed. Its genetic makeup is 60% sativa and 40% indica. It was created through cross-breeding blueberry and haze strains.</p>
<p>Namely, this weed has several different effects. Although it’s difficult to name all of them, the most common effects consumers will feel is euphoria. Furthermore, it’s energizing yet relaxing, uplifting, and will wake up your creative side.</p>
<h3>When to smoke up</h3>
<p>Ultimately, you can smoke up in the middle of the day and not have to worry about any drowsiness.</p>
<p>In fact, this strain is far better if you take it during the day because of the effects we previously mentioned. If you’re planning on smoking before bedtime, you can forget about sleeping.</p>
<p>Obviously, Blue Dream is also great if you’re planning on enjoying a fun night out with your friends, but you don’t want to get too high.</p>
<p>Furthermore, since the effects of this strain leave consumers with a sense of euphoria, Blue Dream is the perfect strain for people suffering from mental illnesses such as depression, stress, and anxiety. The weed also works wonders when it comes to chronic pain, migraines — it even helps with fatigue.</p>
<p>Ultimately, smoking the right dosage of this strain can help you overcome many ailments. However, if you over-consume, you can face some nasty side-effects, including paranoia, stress, anxiety, etc.</p>
<h3>Possible side-effects</h3>
<p>Side-effects are common with all marijuana strains, so we’re going to mention some that pop-up most frequently.</p>
<p>Basically, the most common side-effects are dry mouth and dry eyes. The best thing to do if you experience either one of these side-effects is to simply apply plenty of eye-drops, and stay hydrated.</p>
<h2>The conclusion</h2>
<p>As you can tell from our review, we’re pretty big fans of this amazing strain! It has all the best qualities you’d expect from a hybrid, and it comes with harmless side-effects. Overall, the important thing you need to remember when it comes to any weed is that you need to know your limits.</p>
<p>In the end, if you’re planning on using Blue Dream to cure your ailments, we’re positive you’ll be pleasantly surprised by its effects.</p>
