5 Quality Strains
With plenty of hemp strains in existence, it can be hard to find the best, let alone the right one that fits your needs. Whether you’re an active individual or someone looking to relax a little easier there's a strain for you. Here are 5 most common strains and their help benefits that you may find beneficial based on your specific desires!
Cherry Wine
Meant for personal leisure and relaxation, Cherry Wine is most popular for its hybrid profile. This strain is known to be one of the most potent CBD strains on the market, but it is most suitable for any time of the day. Having the power to enable focus while still promoting relaxation, this strain sits right between sativa and Indica, creating an intoxicating feeling without high. Though it may seem like a strong juxtaposition, this strains hybrid profile gives consumers the best of both worlds. Carrying a sugar yet earthy aroma, the taste has been said to resemble that of berries and pine.
Hawaiian Haze
Hawaiian Haze is a Sativa CBD strain that produces some high-quality sativa effects. Grown in Oregon, this strain of CBD flower comes already trimmed and exudes a high-quality aroma of tropical sensation. Known for delivering daily revitalization, this smooth and balanced strain is delicate yet rich in its earthy undertones. The genetics allow for a light and airy bud that has been said to make users more sociable and talkative. Giving you a nice energy boost, this strain is most commonly used as a pick me up in the morning to start the day and can also be used as a muscle relaxer.
Lifter
The frosty coated hemp delivers tranquility like no other. Just like its wisplike appearance, Lifter was crafted to provide peace and a clear sense of focal energy, giving you that carefree feeling and tranquility. When inhaled, consumers usually feel the effects within five minutes. Meant to provide a relaxing power, Lifter is great for people with restless thoughts and anxious feelings. The sweet-sour aroma and zesty taste contains an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that helps control your sleep, mood, digestion, appetite, inflammation, mobility and more. Given the cerebral effects of Lifter, consumers usually love to use this strain after a tough workout, long workday or other tasks that exert an immense amount of energy.
OG Kush
OG Kush is one the most legendary strains as it provides a multitude of ways it can be used. Most known for its flower and edible capabilities, like other strains, you can also vaporize and/or extract oil. First cultivated in Florida, OG Kush is a combination of three strains - Californian, Hindu and Amsterdam Kush. Once the plant has been cured, OG Kush CBD produces a beautiful dark green flower that is dense by nature. The sticky buds are 60 percent Sativa, making it a hybrid mix, providing a powerful relaxation to help you calm down when you most need it.
Sour Diesel
Mainly containing Sativa, this strain is for consumers who have built up a significant tolerance to other CBD strains and products or have had a history of other health issues. Because it has one of the highest cannabinoid profiles, Sour Diesel is very popular due to the high potency. It has been said that the origin of this strain is pretty difficult to track down because of its popularity in the underground market. However, some suggest that Sour Diesel is a cross between Chemdawg and Skunk (#1). Because it is so fast acting, it’s best used crushed and rolled to take advantage of the focused effect that it gives. You may notice that you're able to tap into your energetic and creative side while simultaneously being focused (like all strains, your body may react differently). Others have stated that while they are able to produce energy, Sour Diesel also helps with relaxing the body, finding rest without feeling dazed by its genetic makeup.
