5 Cannabis Strains to Make You High on Life

By

Gloomy weather and election season got you down? Why not step away from the wine (which we all know is a depressant) and lift your spirits with some elevating cannabis instead?


The relationship between cannabis and depression has been controversial in recent years, with doctors debating whether it really helps or not. Self-medicating with marijuana may sound a little risky to some, but it's a much safer alternative to pharmaceuticals. Just remember, when treating depression with cannabis, you'll get the best results from a strain with higher levels of CBD and lower levels of THC—responsible for most of marijuana's psychoactive effects, high levels of THC can significantly worsen symptoms of depression and mental illness. CBD, on the other hand, has no such effect on the brain; the non-psychoactive property in cannabis is instead known for its ability to boost mental positivity, heal, and relieve pain. When shopping for strains, keep a eye out for indica dominant strains, which are known for lower levels of THC and soothing effects.
