Why Cannabis Can Help You Relax
Cannabis has been used for centuries to help people unwind, de-stress, and find balance. Whether you’re dealing with a busy workday, sore muscles, or just need a moment to slow down, the right strain can help you achieve a deeper sense of calm. At Green Remedy, we carry a variety of strains chosen specifically for their relaxing effects, so you can find exactly what works for you.
Understanding the Role of Strain Types
When shopping for cannabis with relaxation in mind, strain type matters. Indica strains are traditionally known for their body-heavy effects, making them perfect for evening use or winding down. Hybrid strains can also be great for relaxation, offering a balanced experience that eases tension while keeping the mind clear. While sativa strains are typically associated with energy, some sativas with calming terpene profiles can also help you settle in after a long day.
Green Remedy’s Top Relaxation Strains
Our menu changes with the seasons and our partnerships with local growers, but here are some of our go-to favorites when customers ask for the best strains for relaxation:
Granddaddy Purple (Indica) – A classic choice for stress relief, Granddaddy Purple offers deep body relaxation and a sweet, berry-like flavor. Ideal for ending the day on a calm note.
Northern Lights (Indica) – Known for its smooth, earthy taste and tranquil effects, Northern Lights is perfect for melting away tension and promoting restful sleep.
Blueberry Kush (Indica) – With a fruity aroma and potent body high, Blueberry Kush is a favorite for easing both physical and mental stress.
GMO Cookies (Indica-Dominant Hybrid) – This powerful hybrid combines a heavy, calming effect with a savory, garlic-cookie flavor. Great for quiet evenings and binge-worthy TV.
Gelato (Balanced Hybrid) – Smooth, creamy, and slightly euphoric, Gelato offers a mellow high that relaxes without leaving you couch-locked.
The Role of Terpenes in Relaxation
While THC and CBD content play a role in how a strain affects you, terpenes—the aromatic compounds in cannabis—also influence relaxation. For example:
- Myrcene – Found in many indicas, known for its sedative and muscle-relaxing qualities.
- Linalool – Offers calming, anti-anxiety effects similar to lavender.
- Caryophyllene – Adds a peppery note while helping reduce stress and inflammation.
At Green Remedy, our team can help you identify strains with terpene profiles best suited for your personal relaxation goals.
How to Choose the Right Relaxing Strain for You
Relaxation means different things to different people. Some want a strain that eases them into sleep, while others prefer a gentle calm that allows for conversation, reading, or light activity. When you visit Green Remedy, let us know your goals—we’ll recommend strains based on potency, flavor, and how you want to feel.
Tips for a Relaxing Cannabis Experience
The strain is just one part of the equation. To get the most out of your session, consider these tips:
- Set the mood – Dim the lights, play soft music, or light a candle.
- Create a comfortable space – Grab a blanket, find your favorite chair, or set up a cozy spot.
- Pair with relaxing activities – Gentle yoga, a warm bath, or a calm movie can enhance the effects.
