Cannabis Strains That Crush Anxiety
Harlequin
I was first introduced to Harlequin years ago after calling the cops on who turned out to be one of the best roommates I’ve ever had (shoutout to Emma for also having anxiety, being a pothead and having weed in my time of need). This CBD sativa dom strain crushed any and all anxiety I had from dealing with my new and belligerently drunk roommate. I was especially anxious about having the fuzz in my apartment; but after ripping a fat bowl of this delightfully uplifting and carefree flower, I and my troubles faded into euphoria and sank into the couch. One hit was all it took, I was in love and I was sold on the magic of CBD.
Blueberry
With the sweet and distinct scent of blueberries, this strain has provided me relief time and time again. Tight dense buds with sticky trichomes give this strain a beautiful appearance, taste, and aroma. Users can expect this strain to curb anxiety with a stoney, slightly sedative, and very relaxing high. Smoke your troubles away and sail into a long-lasting euphoria with this sweet tasting bud.
Tangie
This strain will turn that frown upside down; have you stoned to the bone and feeling fire. With loud notes of citrus and pine this zesty, earthy bud is sunshine in plant form. I like Tangie because it can be particularly good for combating chronic anxiety while also crushing everyday bad vibes. Giving users energetic, uplifting and euphoric sensations. Tangie makes me feel in flow like I am truly one with the universe. Propelling me to operate on a higher level of clarity, conciseness and, contentment. Plus it tastes good.
Remedy
For those looking to unwind but still be present try the last anxiety crusher on our list. In general, this a great strain for those not looking to feel “high,” remedy is a high CBD low THC cannabis strain. Typically inducing little to no psychoactive effect while simultaneously giving the user feelings of relaxed happiness; easing stress and anxiety away one puff at a time.
Happy hunting folks.
