One of the great things about cannabis is how it can quickly change your whole mood and make everything feel better. The feelings of excitement and happiness that come from cannabis are major reasons I’m so passionate about it. If you’re looking for the most euphoric strains that will put you in an awesome mood, stick around, and I’ll share them with you.
Some are stronger than others, of course, but keep in mind that there are also different euphoric effects to be had, not just between body and mind but also in terms of happiness, relaxation, creativity, and focus. We’ll share where each strain shines in this article.
1. OG Kush
| Reported Results | Meditative, happy, clear-head |
| THC | 18% to 26% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and a Hindu Kush |
OG Kush was the first weed strain I tried, and by coincidence, it’s the most famous strain in the world. OG Kush offers a very uplifting high that kicks in fast, followed by social buzz, euphoria, and a strong body buzz. You want to be surrounded by friends when you consume OG Kush because it’ll likely make you laugh a lot and be talkative.
OG Kush epitomizes the laughing stoner stereotype because it makes you hyper-euphoric. It gives you this feeling that you’re clear-minded and the words are coming out of your mouth without a filter. Everything is funny.
It’s not only a strain for famous rappers. You can pretty much get your hands on it in every dispensary in America.
Offering powerful highs and being of indica origins, OG Kush has become a true legend in the 420 community. Some say it gives them a meditative state of mind coupled with an inexhaustible urge to smile.
Being that it’s indica-heavy, you can expect some potential health benefits too. Indica strains help with pain and mood and can even help you sleep better.
Originally produced in Washington state, this hybrid blend has average to high THC levels and medium CBD levels that complement each other well. It knows how to keep your head clear and high in check. There are flavors of fruit, pine, and citrus in the OG Kush terpene profile.
OG Kush is a hybrid strain originating from Chemdawg, Hindu Kush, and Lemon Thai (Indica-heavy strains). Some dispensaries tested it up to 26% in THC content, but it always depends on where it was grown.
2. White Widow
| Reported Results | Talkative, creative energy |
| THC | 14% to 25% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between Brazilian sativa landrace and a resin-heavy South Indian indica |
White Widow is a strain I find myself coming back to time and time again because it offers a reliable high that I’ve come to love.
Don’t be scared by the morbid name; this is actually one of the happiest strains that exist. Those beautiful white buds will go to work, and you’ll start feeling euphoric almost instantly.
It delivers a powerful burst of energy and euphoria that carries through right away, boosting both communication and creativity. As a result of its beautiful buzz that makes you more social and creative, it’s well-known in the stoner community.
This strain is mostly Sativa, but it’s a hybrid between Brazilian Sativa Landrace and South Indian Indica. It lets smokers catch a whiff of a standard Sativa mind mixed with the body effects of Indica strains.
Gather some friends and start smoking this, and you won’t regret it. You’ll instantly start laughing, talking more, and being extroverted. It’s also great if you need to get work done while high.
Immediately upon ingestion, the White Widow’s white buds with crystal resin induce a burst of euphoria and energy. In addition to stimulating both conversation and creativity, it is ideal for social situations.
3. Euphoria
| Reported Results | Energetic, good for social anxiety |
| THC | 13% to 20% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between several skunk strains |
Who would’ve guessed that a strain named Euphoria would be one of the most euphoric? This one is average on the THC scale, so it won’t get you too high, and you’ll be in a semi-sober state while you’re hanging out.
I take this once in a while when I want to be clear-headed when I’m hanging out with my buddies and watching a game. It gives me that energetic boost I need to talk about ideas for hours on end.
I’ve even gotten high and went to work with this strain, and it’s always helped me go through a work session. I don’t have any problems at all with focusing on this strain.
It might be the highest-energy strain here, and it’s the opposite of a chill indica strain. You don’t want to take this before bed because you’ll be unable to sleep.
Only take Euphoria when you’re with your friends who don’t mind the skunky, strong smell. It does have a strong smell that might be off-putting to some, so I recommend smoking this strain with your passionate stoner friends.
There is no doubt that this strain is one of the best Sativas available today. It has a floral smell and a light sativa smoke with a sweet but potent taste. The name will hit you when you take a hit. No joke.
There is a similarity between this and the old Southern Creepers; when you smoke a bowl and five minutes later, you feel the effects. Smoking a little bit of Euphoria throughout the day can be extremely satisfying.
Those who wish to sleep might find this strain too energetic since it has overwhelmingly upbeat and social effects. Euphoria is great for alleviating social anxiety. Overall, it’s a great strain and if you haven’t ever tried it, I recommend it. It’s not as easy to find compared to some of the other strains on this, but certainly not impossible.
4. Tangie
| Reported Results | Zen-like focus, euphoric creativity |
| THC | 19% to 22% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between California Orange and Skunk #1 |
Tangie is one of those strains you hear about from your stoner friends but never really look into it. It’s a “maybe one day” kind of strain for most people.
You should give it a go. It might become your favorite strain because it’s just on the higher-than-average scale as far as THC and it gives you a much sharper focus than other strains.
I take this when I need to work long hours to keep my mind sharp. It’s amazing for getting work done because it’ll keep your mind alert and creative while giving you a zen-like focus. It’s a Sativa, so who’s surprised?
This strain will get you focused and inspired, so make a list of what you need to do before smoking it. In addition to the euphoric effects, Tangie also increases creativity, making it a favorite for artists.
You’ll notice the full effects after ten minutes with Tangie. You will feel completely relaxed and at ease, along with feeling super clear-headed and feeling capable.
Tangie is a wonderful choice for day-to-day activities, making art, and enjoying the great outdoors. Go outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Just like when you’re tripping on shrooms, the presence of nature will take your breath away with this strain.
As for the high, it’s not the most stable high, although some edginess to it makes it feel adventuresome. Expect it to be intensively uplifting for an extended period. Also, a shroom-like emotional state that will make you feel connected to people.
The flavor of this strain deserves to be commended! Tangerines dominate the flavor profile. Straight tangerines, not oranges or “citrus.” It simply smells incredible.
Tangie is known for its tangerine aroma and sweet, tropical taste. This strain is pleasing to all the senses. Myrcene is the predominant terpene in Tangie, which produces a calming effect.
5. Sour Diesel
| Reported Results | Pain relief, clear euphoria |
| THC | 17% to 26% |
| CBD | 0% |
| Origin | Cross between Chemdawg and Super Skunk |
Sour Diesel is the most famous strain after OG Kush. And when a strain is well-known, it means that a lot of people are using it to feel good.
That includes me; I love being high on Sour Diesel because I get that euphoric high I’d usually get from OG Kush, but it’s mixed in with some dreamy effects.
I usually smoke this when I’m hanging out with my best friend, and we’re not having a massive party, but just want to chill. It’s perfect for music/movie night because it gets you feeling good without all the crazy stuff that comes with hyper-euphoria.
This is the strain you take when you’re at home and feeling a little down and want to start feeling good again.
In those types of cases, smoke some Sour Diesel, play some rock tunes, and enjoy the night. It’s one of the rarer strains that is preferred by medical marijuana users to relieve stress, depression, and pain.
It’s a Sativa-dominant strain made by crossing Chemdawg and Super Skunk. When used, it produces dreamy, euphoric effects with cerebral undertones.
The bad part about it is that it smells like diesel (if the name wasn’t a giveaway), and most people (not me) say that it smells awful, but it’s worth it if you can get past the strong scent.
Sour Diesel also goes by the name “Sour D” and “Sour Deez.”, but when you visit your local dispensary, they’ll know what you’re looking for. Don’t worry about it.
6. Strawberry Cough
| Reported Results | Energetic, euphoric effects |
| THC | 15% to 26% |
| CBD | 0.12% |
| Origin | Cross between Haze & Strawberry Fields |
Want to feel euphoric when you get intimate with your partner? Strawberry Cough might just be the one for you.
I take this only when I want to feel high with my girlfriend, and we’re having a Netflix and chill type of night. First, it gives you that energy, so you don’t fall asleep watching Barbie, and then it keeps you up and makes you feel good.
This is a euphoric classic, and it’s well-known in the stoner community for its arousal effects. The smell is great, the high is great, the bud is beautiful.
Strawberry Cough tastes and smells like berries and offers both relaxing and energizing effects. Enjoy it socially, but also expect it’s going to have uplifting effects on your sexual life.
But it’s not perfect. The name should tell you so.
Strawberry Cough produces robust smoke, causing even the hardest stoner to cough a little. If your partner is a first-time smoker, you should train them on something else before you give them this. They won’t be able to handle it.
The presence of caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool in its terpene profile produces a euphoric high that is uplifting, relaxing, and utterly sedating.
You’ll feel euphoric and forget your worries when you take the strawberry cough. Whether you enjoy playing by yourself or with your partner, this strain is ideal. Along with making you feel great, this is a popular weed strain for sex.
7. Maui Wowie
| Reported Results | Creativity, inspiration |
| THC | 13% to 19% |
| CBD | <1% |
| Origin | Cross between a Hawaiian cross and an unknown variety. |
Maui is a beautiful island in Hawaii, which has a strong marijuana culture. The island attracts hippie types who meditate on the rocky mountains while observing the vast Pacific Ocean.
It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world, and it’s no wonder that one of the most well-known strains comes from there.
No one really knows how the Maui Wowie strain originated, but what I know for sure is that you’ll be transported to the shores of Hawaii with this strain’s tropical flavors and stress-relieving high.
I remember listening to the song “Maui Wowie” by Kid Cudi when I was going to school years ago, and he seemed to be pretty fascinated by it. After trying it out, I realized why the hype was there.
Once you light it up, you’ll feel this beautiful pineapple flavor in the air and get overwhelmed by high-energy euphoria a couple of minutes later.
It’s got active effects. This means you can get outside and enjoy the sun while high on it, so it’s a perfect strain to take on vacation. Blaze some and go surfing in the ocean or enjoy time by the pool with your friends.
Kid Cudi tried to tell you about these strains’ powerful qualities, but just in case you didn’t hear, I’m going to repeat them now. I love this island-inspired sativa since it will make you feel as if you’re on a beach without an ounce of worry in your mind.
Growing this strain indoors typically requires a bright atmosphere and nutrient-rich soil, but it can also be successfully grown outdoors in warm, tropical climates.
The strain got so famous that you can now find it in the cafes of Amsterdam and not just on the island of Maui.
Maui Wowie is easily among the best euphoria-inducing strains. Don’t miss out on this tropical delight if you are lacking inspiration!
8. Girl Scout Cookies
| Reported Results | Blissful euphoria then relaxation |
| THC | 17% to 28% |
| CBD | 0.09% |
| Origin | Cross between OG Kush and Durban Poison |
If you want a clean high, followed by a comedown, get some Girl Scout Cookies.
GSC is ideal for a hangout session when you’re with a large group of friends, and everyone’s getting high. It smells decent, so you can hotbox in a car or an unventilated room to get the best high of your life.
The euphoria will hit within 10-20 minutes of the first toke, and then it’ll last for hours. You’ll then all be laughing, feeling amazing, and telling stories.
You can ask your friends trippy questions while you’re high on GSC and make epic memories.
This strain is known as the child of OG Kush because it’s a hybrid between OG Kush and Durban Poison. Over the years, it’s gained a reputation for being a euphoric and relaxed strain.
My favorite kind of euphoria is when I feel really good without getting too excited, kind of like the first day of a summer vacation. This is the feeling GSC evokes.
Snoop Dogg said that it’s his favorite strain, so that says a lot. If it’s approved by one of the greatest stoners of all time, you know this is worth trying at least once.
Just to clear this up, the name is misleading; GSC is not a THC edible. But you can find GSC in edibles like THC cookies. Once you get that first bite of caramel delights (Samoas), you’ll feel a euphoric and blissful effect just as fast as when you puff a joint.
GSC sometimes acts like an Indica, providing great relaxation after a rush of euphoria. A must-try for every cannabis lover.
9. Euphoria Cookies
| Reported Results | Uplifting euphoria, soothing body effects |
| THC | 12% to 18% |
| CBD | 8% |
| Origin | Cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Euphoria |
I had the most euphoric high of my life trying out Euphoria Cookies. This is one of the greatest experiments in the marijuana world because it’s a hybrid between Girl Scout Cookies and Euphoria strains (50%/50%).
I remember feeling the deepest euphoria back when I tried this and being totally overwhelmed with emotion. Luckily my friend was around, so we were laughing hard and playing movie soundtracks.
This is a strain that is almost guaranteed to make you euphoric, and it’s even superb for beginners because it’s on the low end of the THC scale, with 12-18% on most tests.
It’s not a strain that will knock you out, so you can give it to your friend who wants to try weed. You might just get him hooked with GSC.
If you have solid dispensaries in your area, you’ll likely find GSC in edible form. Just ask for Euphoria THC cookies. They’ll be tasty and give you the same effect as smoking bud.
Euphoria Cookies has some really colorful bud that smells like a mix of tropical fruit, rose, and vanilla. Your girl will love it if you smoke it together. The terpenes are sweet and doughy.
In general, expect a fast uplifting Sativa high derived from the Euphoria side. The strain certainly has the qualities of GSC too. It tastes and smells enticing and almost like the scent of Christmas.
A smoker who wants to improve mood, curb depression, and ease minor aches and pains will benefit from Euphoria Cookies’ uplifting mental state and soothing body effects.
Getting where you need to be with just a little bit of a hit will keep you focused on the ride. It doesn’t keep you from sleeping, so that’s a bonus too. Euphoria Cookies is, without a doubt, one of the most euphoric strains out there.
10. Desfrán
| Reported Results | relaxing, chill vibes, cerebral |
| THC | 15% to 20% |
| CBD | <1% |
| Origin | Cross between Mexican Oaxaca, Colombian Punto Rojo, and Thai Meao |
Does it sound French? It ain’t. This is a legendary South American hybrid that’s known for its 100% Sativa purity.
If you had to make the perfect Sativa strain, this just might be it. The head-high is super smooth, and it gives you a pinch of euphoria to get you feeling good instantly. It then relaxes you and gives you chill vibes.
This strain is ideal for a lazy night with the homeboys or the girlfriend when you don’t want any of the hyper-euphoric mania.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a “downer” kind of strain and won’t put you to sleep, but you won’t be jumping on the floor and dancing with Desfrán.
This strain can produce powerful psychedelic effects if it’s on the higher end of the THC scale, but it’s mostly moderate, so you can give it to your beginner friends.
Desfrán has an incredible terpene profile of grape, pear, caramel, melon, green apple, and melon aromas and flavors in this strain. Expert techniques are used by budtenders to keep this powerhouse over 8-10 weeks.
You can expect a cerebral and psychedelic high. You’ll feel great while you’re high on it, and you won’t be overwhelmed by euphoria. Side effects include getting more creative than you ever thought possible.
Desfrán is a hybrid between Mexican Oaxaca, Colombian Punto Rojo, and Thai Meao strains.
11. Orange Bud
| Reported Results | Arousal, euphoric, mid-heavy body effects |
| THC | 11% to 17% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin |
This strain looks super cool with beautiful orange hairs, and it stands out when you see it on the dispensary shelf.
The flavor, aroma, and high that you get with Orange Bud is unmatched. The name was given because its flavor is akin to oranges and nectaries, making it one of the tastiest buds.
Girls love smoking on this because it smells good. It’s one of the most famous strains of the last few years and for good reason.
When I tried it out, Orange Bud made me feel like I could feel every cell of my body. I felt my bones moving inside my hips as I was getting up off the couch.
It’s euphoric too, and it mixes that in with body effects.
If you want to make new memories with your partner and both get high, this might be worth a shot. The chance of one of you tripping out is low because of the low THC content in Orange Bud.
You’ll both just feel euphoric, happy, and sensational. It’s got this mouthwatering aroma and flavor that draws attention from a mile away.
The Sativa genetics make the plant easy and fast to grow, and it can take as little as seven weeks to fully grow this plant. Orange Bud is the perfect choice for those seeking a euphoric strain with a tasty citrus twist!
Orange Bud will likely be underwhelming for daily smokers who’ve tried everything, but it’ll be perfect for moderate users.
Expect to feel aroused and turned on. Sexual pleasure will be almost tantric. You’ll have an almost sensual experience because all of your senses will be heightened. Using it will make you feel calm, loving, relaxed, and sexy. That’s why it’s a favorite among women.
12. Pineapple Express
| Reported Results | Happiness and relaxation |
| THC | 17% to 25% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between Trainwreck and Hawaiian |
Pineapple Express is one of the most euphoric strains, and it’s known for making smokers happy and relaxed.
I first got it when I heard about the movie Pineapple Express and found out there’s a strain about it. It’s a fun stoner flick where a dealer and a server run from a hitman. You’ll love watching that while you’re high on the strain.
Pineapple Express slowly gained popularity over the last decade, and it’s now almost as popular as the stoner flick of the same name. Though the strain’s effects aren’t the same as in the film, it has enough potency to calm and relax you.
It’s a hybrid strain that is a cross between Hawaiian and Trainwreck. Both of these are Sativa-dominant strains that give you a hyphy, euphoric high.
You’ll laugh, feel good, and make stupid jokes while you’re on Pineapple Express. That’s the effect it has as far as a head high.
It also affects the body. Your entire body will be numbed, and you may experience arousal from the Trainwreck part of this strain. This will alleviate any body aches you may be experiencing.
Pineapple Express is a weed that has a funky, citrusy aroma that you’ll enjoy as your happy weed. It has a mild pineapple taste but not a sweet one.
I call this the “stoner flick” strain and use it once in a while when I want to watch a movie and relax.
13. Amnesia Haze
| Reported Results | Happiness, uplifting |
| THC | 20% to 25% |
| CBD | 2% |
| Origin | Cross between Jamaican Sativa, a Laotian Sativa, and Afghan Hawaiian |
Amnesia Haze is known for its fast-hitting uplifting high. This is my favorite for a wake-and-bake because I know it’s going to hit instantly in the morning.
I really love to wake up, roll some Amnesia, and smoke it on my computer with some morning coffee and tobacco. I start feeling happy and relaxed instantly, even if I know there’s a long day up ahead.
A friend told me that he used this strain a lot when he was feeling depressed, and apparently, it can help with things like depression. For me, it’s the perfect wake-and-bake strain.
You can start your morning with a smile when you roll a joint full of Amnesia Haze’s earthy flavors of lemons and citrus. You’ll love its energetic tinge and uplifting taste.
Sativa dominates with a ratio of 80:20, so you’ll mostly be feeling a head high with slight body sensations – that’s all you need to feel euphoric.
This is the kind of strain you want to smoke in the morning because it’ll give you a euphoric energy boost. It’s not ideal to smoke at night because you’ll struggle sleeping on it. It’s better to get that energy in the morning, spend it during the day, and get rested at night.
Amnesia Haze is a hybrid between Afghan, Hawaiian, Laotian Sativa, and Jamaican Sativa. These are mostly Sativa-heavy strains with a bit of Indica sprinkled in.
It’s pretty similar to other Sativa-leaning cannabis strains that give you energy. Take a puff or two of this euphoric strain if you are feeling down or just not in the mood. You are likely to feel motivated as your mood is boosted by this citrusy bud.
14. Green Crack
| Reported Results | Happiness and euphoria |
| THC | 13% to 25% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between Skunk #1 and an unknown strain |
It doesn’t hit like crack, don’t worry about the name. It’s just a euphoric strain.
One thing that stood out to me is the speed at which I can reach euphoria with this strain. It’s similar to White Widow in that respect and certainly one of the greatest all-around strains.
Green Crack will give you an intense feeling of happiness with lowkey euphoria that makes for a perfect hangout session with your friends.
It’s for one of those nights when you call up your buddy to watch an epic documentary or play cards. The high will make you both euphoric, but it won’t overwhelm you.
There are focus benefits too. Green Crack is distinguished by its sharp energy and focus, giving you this invigorating mental buzz.
The energy you get from it will keep you going at work all day. It’s considered a daytime strain, but you can smoke it at night if you’re trying to pull an all-nighter at work. Works basically the same as coffee.
Green Crack has fruity aromas and a tangy flavor reminiscent of mango, so the taste is not bad for hotboxing in an enclosed space.
GC’s high potency and overall cerebral stimulation make it a crowd favorite. This is the perfect sativa for those who love that energetic, happy, euphoric high. This also happens to be one of my favorite cannabis strains for productivity.
15. Wedding Gelato
| Reported Results | Blissful euphoria and giggles! |
| THC | 20% to 25% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between Wedding Cake, Gelato, and Gelato 33 |
This one surprised my friend, who previously told me he couldn’t get high like he used to. We were laughing like crazy and feeling blissful before hitting the club, and I made some great memories while on it.
You know how some strains have personality? You can recognize them by their potent smell instantly. This is one of those strains.
If you ever smelled Lavender in a field on a summer’s day, the smell is similar to that. It hits your smell senses strongly, and it smells like a sweet version of that. You’ll recognize it by the fruity flavors with a hint of mint.
When you light it up, it gets even better. Get ready for some of the most euphoric moments of your life.
Wedding Gelato will marry you to euphoria, and you should really save it for those special moments like going to a friend’s wedding. You don’t want to get too used to feeling that good; it’s not healthy.
The strain is on the high end of the THC scale with an average of 20-25% on tests, so it’s not really recommended for beginners. The high can hit them too strongly.
An experienced smoker will love the high they get from Wedding Gelato. Expect to laugh like crazy, get red eyes, and feel the effects throughout your body.
Wedding Gelato is a hybrid strain mix with 60% Indica and 40% Sativa genetics. You’ll get both a head high and a body high from this strain. The feeling of euphoria will start in your head, and you’ll feel adrenaline in your body.
This is not something you want to smoke on your own. Spare it for those times you have friends coming over or important moments in your life.
This fragrance is heavy on myrcene, limonene, and linalool, so it is mentally relaxing. The bottom line is that it’s a really strong Indica.
There are some side effects, like feeling giggly, falling asleep, and then waking up with munchies. That is, if you’re a casual smoker. For a seasoned stoner, the effects are genuinely pleasant.
16. Pineapple Kush
| Reported Results | Carefree feelings, happiness, stress relief. |
| THC | 17% to 19% |
| CBD | 0% |
| Origin | Cross between Pineapple and Master Kush |
This strain has a reputation for its medicinal properties and stress-relief capabilities. I experienced a very relaxed and blissful high on it.
Do you know how that filter in your head disappears when you drink alcohol? This strain generates a similar effect and gets rid of the anxiety you feel in a social situation.
If you want to feel relaxed at a house party, this is the strain for you. You’ll find it easy to socialize with people and make long conversations, and the words will flow effortlessly.
Pineapple Kush is one of the first recommendations you’d get at a dispensary if you asked for a strain to relieve anxiety.
You won’t feel euphoric like you’re on LSD at a rave, but you’ll feel that even-keeled high and happiness. It’s perfect for calm social events where everyone’s chilling and making conversation.
It’s a Sativa-dominant strain, so expect to feel more of a head high than a body high. The best way to describe being high on it is that you feel carefree, kind of like a child experiencing the world.
You could smoke this when you’re relaxing on a hammock by the beach and feeling ultra relaxed. You could also share it with a buddy on a boat when you’re out fishing.
The strain is a hybrid between Master Kush and Pineapple Kush. Pineapple Kush is Indica-heavy with light body sensations, so you’ll feel some of that inherited here. You’ll also feel the relaxed buzz from the head-high inherited from Master Kush.
There’s a pineapple flavor, so it’s great for smokers who prefer fruity smells. The buds are very dense, and the flavor is intense. This strain will also give you energy and make you upbeat, so it’s recommended to consume during the day.
17. Bubba Kush
| Reported Results | Intense elation, bliss, euphoria |
| THC | 14% to 22% |
| CBD | 0% |
| Origin | Cross between OG Kush and a New Orleans unknown strain (maybe Northern Lights) |
Bubba Kush is a strain you’ve probably been told about by your stoner buddy (we all know that guy!), and you wanted to see what the hype was all about.
I frankly bought it because the name sounded funny to me. I was surprised that it’s an Indica that can give you a strong head high and euphoria. So I tested it out.
I have words to describe the Bubba Kush high: Elation and bliss. I was first overwhelmed by a feeling of happiness, and after a couple of minutes, it turned into bliss. I zoned out and looked at the landscape, appreciating every moment.
This is one of those strains you can smoke alone by yourself when you’re feeling down. You don’t need friends for this one and you can use it on your own to collect your thoughts and plan a way forward.
It’s low on THC content and isn’t too energetic, so you could smoke this at night before going to bed.
We know that in your search for euphoria, the last thing you want to try is an Indica, but you should really try out this one. There are some Indicas that aren’t downers that can give you an intense feeling of happiness too.
With a powerful relaxation taking over on the exhale, sweet hashish flavors are accompanied by subtle notes of chocolate and coffee. Body and mind are enveloped in euphoria, easing stress while creating a sense of well-being.
Don’t expect a jump-off-the-balcony type of euphoria here (maybe for the first couple of minutes) but expect more of a meditative type of happiness and presence. It’s a great strain for people who like to meditate and capture the moment.
18. Golden Tangie
| Reported Results | Energy, elevated mood, stress relief |
| THC | 21% to 27% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between Golden Goat and Tangie |
Golden Tangie is recognizable by its bright hairs that really stand out, and I love the smell when I open a jar full of it – it smells like fresh orange juice.
I first tried it out because I loved the euphoric effects of Tangie and assumed this hybrid would inherit the traits from its father. It did.
I immediately felt an energizing high settling in the upper part of my body between the head, neck, and shoulders. When you feel something that fast, you know you’re in for a perfect high.
The euphoria then settled into my body and lasted a few hours while I was doing house chores. Imagine feeling euphoric folding laundry and cleaning around the house. That’s how potent this strain is.
The THC can reach 27%, so this is definitely not for a new smoker. The high is very intense, but you feel an elevated mood, so it’s also ideal for a night out with the boys.
When you want to get everyone hyped and set a positive atmosphere in your home, this is what you should get. It’ll make everyone hyperactive, and they’ll all feel euphoric. Think of the possibilities… You could blaze with your buddies before you hit the club and have a great night out.
A friend told me that he uses this strain to relieve stress after work because it instantly sets in, and he can overcome his fatigue.
The strain is Sativa-dominant and a hybrid cross between Tangie and Golden Goat. The parent strains give it one of the most distinct-looking buds that are super colorful.
The smell is low odor, and the taste is nice and pleasant, not too citrusy, so expect something that smells like oranges. The golden calyx mix is soothing and relaxing and should help alleviate any stress you’re feeling. Rather than going to sleep, you should develop relaxation, focus, and an uplifting mood, so that you can game, watch Netflix, or even exercise.
19. Sour Space Candy
| Reported Results | Tingly buzz, creativity, happiness. |
| THC | 0.05% to 1% |
| CBD | 16% |
| Origin | Cross between Sour Tsunami and Early Resin Berry |
Sour Space Candy has literally sub-1% THC content on all tests. So how does it make you feel euphoric without that head high?
It’s the high CBD content that produces an adrenaline-induced euphoria comparable to the heaviest Sativa strains. When I tried this, I literally felt the high in my muscles and had one of the greatest body highs that set me back on my couch.
This strain is not something you want to smoke before you go on a hike. Make sure you’re comfy at home and have a nice couch or a bed. Grab some popcorn and watch a long documentary or your favorite sport to fully experience the high.
If you’re used to getting a head high and have never tried a CBD-heavy strain of the kind doctors prescribe to elderly patients with pain, you should brace for a new experience.
I recommend this to my stoner friends who have trouble getting high because they’re smoking the same Sativa strain over and over. It gives them a totally new experience and sends happy shockwaves down their spine.
Sour Space Candy was originally designed to be a 50/50 hybrid between Indica and Sativa, but it doesn’t actually get you high like most strains. It’s a whole new experience.
You’ll start feeling overwhelmed with positivity and creativity when you smoke this. It’s optimal for a movie night because it won’t put you to sleep, but it’ll make you feel in touch with your body.
The strain smells like a cosmic force sending you soaring as it eases your physical discomforts and leaves you feeling tingly. If you’ve been feeling pain in your muscles and joints, it can alleviate it.
Terpenes from this CBD-dominant strain, such as myrcene, caryophyllene, and humulene, have the ability to reduce inflammation, make muscles relaxed, and regulate mood.
20. Lemon Shining Silver Haze
| Reported Results | Focused and euphoric, watch dose for anxiety-prone users. |
| THC | 21% to 25% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between |
They’re getting really creative with these names, aren’t they? This one doesn’t disappoint.
The strain was recommended to me by a friend who loves hiking, so I smoked it when we hit the great outdoors. I was flooded with psychedelic energy and then got hit with euphoria.
When I started climbing hills, it zoned me in on these little spots as I was making my way up. It made the climb easier because it gave me focus on my steps. Come to think of it, I wish I tried this at work.
The euphoric feeling of accomplishment, when you’re outdoors, is magnified with this strain, and you feel happy doing simple things like climbing a hill. You could definitely try this at your job and see what you can accomplish.
It’s a Sativa-heavy stain and a cross between the famous Lemon Skunk and Shining Silver Haze. You can recognize these strains by the yellow/orange hairs and the strong skunky smell.
It’s one of the greatest strains for productivity, and it gives you immense energy and happiness. It’s also great for hobbies with friends or getting high before a game indoors.
Why not light this up, watch your favorite team, and invite some buddies over? Try not to mix this with alcohol because the THC is always over 20%, and it can hit you hard.
The gist is that you’ll be motivated to do anything you set your mind to. If you are prone to anxiety, you should watch your dosage so you don’t end up feeling rotten.
21. Blue Dream
| Reported Results | Motivation, energy, focus |
| THC | 17% to 25% |
| CBD | <1% |
| Origin | Cross between Blueberry and Haze |
Blue Dream is a really well-known strain, and that’s because it has a reputation as one of the greatest strains to increase creativity and focus.
People use this strain to get high and get work done, and it’s one of the few super-energetic strains that really make you zone in on what you’re doing.
When I smoked this for the first time, I pretty much overdosed, and it made me feel sleepy. It’s a known side-effect, so make sure not to overdo it because the THC content is high, and it can cause a counter-effect.
When you smoke this strain in moderation, you feel a really strong head high within minutes. It then transcends to deep focus, and you have an elevated state of mind.
It’s a great strain to smoke before a house party because you’ll get in a conversational mood, and your words will make sense. You can keep level-headed and logical on this strain and that matters a lot when you want to make an impression.
It’s a hybrid strain derived from Blueberry and Haze, which both have Indica and Sativa content. It’s mostly Sativa though, so expect to feel a strong head high and minor body effects.
It tests up to 25% THC so it can get you really high, and you only need a few tokes before you get into that elevated state of mind. Make sure not to overdo it like me, or you’ll end up feeling tired.
Blue Dream will make you positive and euphoric, but that’ll be coupled with deep focus. It has a sweet taste and delicious scent, which persists after it’s smoked.
22. Green Crack Punch
| Reported Results | Focus and energy, mental buzz |
| THC | 18% to 20% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between Green Crack and Purple Punch |
As a fan of Green Crack’s euphoric strain, I had to try out its descendant strain, Green Crack Punch. This is a hybrid between Green Crack and Purple Punch, which are both euphoric strains.
This strain is literally guaranteed to make you feel euphoric even if you smoke it feeling negative at first. It’s nearly identical to Green Crack, except it inherits the bodily effects of Purple Punch, so you feel the ultimate euphoric high when you take it.
It’s one of my favorite wake-and-bake strains because I know I won’t feel sleepy when I take it. You can smoke this first thing in the morning and have energy for the rest of the day.
Aside from euphoria, it can also make you feel focused and productive, like most Sativa-dominant strains. You’ll be prepared for a hard day of work and productivity with this strain.
One thing I noticed when I first smoked this was that my color perception was elevated, and I was able to see things vividly. It gave me a clear state of mind, and if I was an artist, this might be my favorite strain.
The THC content tests between 18-20%, so it’s not really high. You’ll definitely feel the effects of THC in the head, but it won’t overpower you, so you could share this with a friend.
It’s a strain you can smoke on your own without worrying about tripping out too hard or needing people next to you. It’ll keep you alert, and the energetic effect will persist throughout the day.
The aroma is beautiful and smells like citrus. It’s mouthwatering, especially when you smell it in a jar. It also persists when you smoke it, making it an enjoyable smoking experience.
23. Candyland
| Reported Results | Creative, stimulating. Use caution if alone. |
| THC | 18% to 24% |
| CBD | <1% |
| Origin | Cross between Granddaddy Purple and Platinum Cookies |
If you want to feel euphoric about your creative endeavors, Candyland might become your favorite.
I’ve known creative types like artists and video directors who swear by this strain. It’s Indica-heavy, so it’s going to give you a modest euphoria coupled with calmness.
Let’s say you work in a stressful environment like an insurance company where people are running around and it’s spiking your cortisol (stress chemicals). You could smoke Candyland before work to stimulate your brain to fit in that environment and pull through.
I recommend using it in a place where you don’t feel cool, and you’re under pressure. If that’s a social setting like a house party, and you’re feeling anxious, this strain can help.
The flavor and scent of Candyland are sweet and spicy, with earthy undertones. It’s not the most impressive smell, but it’s not skunky, so you could smoke it without attracting a lot of attention.
Candyland is a hybrid between Grandaddy Purple (one of the most well-known Indica) and Platinum Cookies. It’s over 50% Indica, so expect to feel the high in your body too.
A major advantage of this strain for people with blood sugar problems is that it stimulates a sugar rush without sugar. Your blood will flow better than if you smoked a comparable strain like Skittles.
It’s not for novices, though. You have to know how to keep your mind engaged on a strong Indica strain, or things could quickly turn sideways. You could end up feeling anxious or paranoid.
If you know how to engage with people and keep yourself occupied while high, you’re going to be able to handle Candyland.
The most important terpene present in Candyland is caryophyllene, which interacts with cannabinoid receptors. Hence, the strain not only produces psychoactive effects but also offers many health benefits as well.
24. Jack Herer
| Reported Results | Cerebral high, but grounding |
| THC | 15% to 24% |
| CBD | 1% |
| Origin | Cross between a Haze hybrid with a Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk |
One of the most iconic Sativa strains of our era, you can’t mention euphoria without Jack Herer. This strain won a dozen cannabis cups, you can find it in every dispensary, and stoners stay loyal to it, which says a lot.
I’ve smoked Jack Herer probably hundreds of times by now and never had a bad experience. The strain is a cross between Haze, Shiva Skunk, and Northern Lights which all provide a smooth head high.
It’s not really high on the THC scale, with most samples testing between 15-24%. Expect a really smooth and grounding cerebral high with this strain.
The strain is also known for its medical properties, and in countries like the Netherlands, it’s literally sold in pharmacies. Yes, you can enter a pharmacy without a prescription and get Jack Herer.
It’ll give you a euphoric high while grounding you to the floor, so you shouldn’t take this before you hit the club. You shouldn’t take it before going to bed either, because it won’t help you with sleep.
It’s an ideal strain for social hangouts and activities like watching movies or fixing things at home. I’ve had a blast watching basketball while high on Jack Herer, and we made it a habit to smoke it with my best friend.
If I had to choose one strain that I knew nothing could go wrong with, it’d be this strain. Introduce Jack Herer to a friend who’s curious about marijuana and show them what a real head high is supposed to feel like.
The high will actually persist, so you don’t have to light a new joint every hour to keep feeling the effects. A perfect strain to take on a day off and get the ultimate relaxation.
25. Auto Daiquiri Lime
| Reported Results | Euphoria, vivid imagery, relaxation |
| THC | 15% to 23% |
| CBD | 8% |
| Origin | Cross between Sour Diesel and Californian Orange |
A lesser-known strain I never regretted smoking is Auto Daiquiri Lime. When I want to get a well-rounded high while still feeling functional, I smoke this, and it delivers.
If you’re a fan of Sour Diesel, you’ll definitely feel the genetics at work with Auto Daiquiri Lime. Every time I smoke this, my visionary receptors increase, and I start feeling colors vividly within minutes.
It epitomizes a smooth euphoric high because you feel a focus that is sharp, but not intense like you would if you smoked a strain like Green Crack.
The buds feel sticky in hand, and they’re frosty with a fruity scent. Open up a jar of this and you’ll be stunned by the beautiful smell it exudes.
I recommend taking this on vacation when you’re in a new place and want to see the beauty around you. You’ll appreciate things like the leaves shaking in the wind or waves crashing at the beach.
Auto Daiquiri Lime is a hybrid cross between Sour Diesel and Californian Orange, which are both known for their smooth cerebral highs.
The focus you feel is combined with a visually ethereal quality. You’ll also feel a body high due to the high CBD content, and that will take you on a ride in itself.
This strain is for stoners who like to feel euphoric but don’t want to be consumed by the euphoria. You’ll get the focus of a Sativa strain and the relaxation benefits of an Indica strain simultaneously.
