Best Strains For Energy – Popular Sativa Strains
People who love Sativa strains are generally interested in the bursts of energy associated with those marijuana types. If you’re prone to bouts of lethargic feelings during the day, the right Sativa weed may be what you’re looking for.
An excellent daytime strain can make people feel energized, focused, and even creative, which is great for all types of different activities. Here are 10 of our favorite Sativa strains for energy.
White Widow
White Widow strain is technically a hybrid, but it seems to lean toward the Sativa side of things. Its parents are a Brazilian landrace with potent Sativa qualities, and a South Indian strain that brings just a touch of soothing Indica properties.
People who love White Widow normally report that it gives them a burst of energy, lending itself to both creativity and deep, stimulating conversation.
Since it’s a hybrid, it still offers some of the sense of calm you might not get from other pure Sativas.
Being a hybrid makes it suitable for social settings because it helps some people get energized and engaged without making them too high strung.
Most White Widow weed strain enthusiasts say they’re able to mingle with others thanks to euphoric energy cut with a sense of serenity. It’s the best of both worlds in that way.
You can expect to feel both energetic and calm at the same time, which makes for a unique experience.
Blueberry Yum Yum
If you’re a rap fan, you’ve likely heard Ludacris rap about the Blueberry Yum Yum weed strain. It’s another hybrid, and it has some Blueberry Indica roots. It’s actually perfect for daytime smoking thanks to powerful Sativa lineage, likely from Durban Poison.
The sweet taste of blueberry also comes with some aromas of earthy mintiness like pine trees. It’s exceptionally uplifting for most people, which allows them to have a quick smoke then go about their days.
Lemon Ice Pucker
This Sativa-dominant weed strain gets its good genes from legends like Lemon Haze and the Afghani landrace. Look for especially furry buds with a spicy scent that may remind you of lemon or lime.
Underneath those citrus notes, you may get a whiff of the powerful diesel that’s more like what you’d typically pick up from kush. Be careful with this one, because it packs a serious punch.
Compared to some other Sativa weed strains, though, this particular strain isn’t nearly as likely to cause anxiety.
In other words, you may be interested in Lemon Ice Pucker when you want the energy to go out in public, but don’t want to be uncomfortable.
People have even used it to address stress in medical settings, which makes it an option for anyone who wants to combat fatigue without getting overwhelmed.
The uplifting bursts of energy usually come with feelings of focus and creativity, so you may feel compelled to get a lot done after smoking Lemon Ice Pucker.
Maui Mango Diesel
This strain is a Sativa-dominant cross between Maui Wowie and Brooklyn Mango. The sweet tropical citrus flavors combine with mango to create a taste you might expect to find at a beachside slushie stand. There are definitely some feelings of creativity to be found in this strain.
People mostly say Maui Mango Diesel makes them feel unbridled happiness. If you’re feeling too blue to go out and about, Maui Mango Diesel may lift you up and fill you with complete bliss.
Give it a try next time you want to feel amazing without worrying about getting anything in particular done. There’s still a good chance you’ll feel inspired to do something productive, but you can enjoy the euphoria either way.
Take a few puffs of this Sativa-dominant strain, then let stress and negativity become a thing of the past.
Green Crack
The name is a little bit aggressive, but don’t worry, this is still a normal Sativa strain. Green crack has been known to invigorate even the most lethargic of people.
The flavor has some sweet, citrus, and mango notes coupled with earthy spice. It’s a taste that can amuse even the most seasoned cannabis connoisseurs, and the effects will do the same.
This strain of weed has such potent Sativa effects that it probably wouldn’t be ideal for lounging around and watching a movie. If you’re looking for an intense head high, though, Green Crack is a terrific option.
Just go easy on it, because it’s strong enough to make even some experienced smokers feel a little bit wound up from high doses.
Lemon Cheesecake
The first time you encounter Lemon Cheesecake strain, you’ll know right off the bat that you’re in for a treat. Its buds are coated in sparkling trichomes, and the smell is as sweet and creamy as a freshly baked lemon bar.
Enjoy the sweet and sour taste of these dense buds before ascending into a creative, cerebral buzz.
Golden Goat
The Golden Goat weed strain has one of our favorite origin stories of any strain. It came into the world by accident in Topeka, Kansas when a male mix of Hawaiian and Romulan was accidentally allowed to contact a female Island Sweet Skunk plant.
Chalk this up as a happy accident, because the cerebral effects are ideal for a day spent outdoors. Everything about this strain is great: taste, smell, appearance, and especially effects.
Inzane
This strain is excellent for anyone who’s having a hard time finding a new Sativa to get excited about. You’ll smell the lemony smells from a mile away, and the cerebral high will make you feel a mile off the ground.
Proceed with caution, because a few hits too many can definitely make you feel weird.
Shangri-La
This strain gets its name from a mystical utopia, and it’s all but sure to lift you into your paradise. The Shangri-La weed strain is a Sativa-dominant strain known for sweet fruity flavors that might remind you of berries, mangos, citrus, and grapes all at the same time. You’ll be able to smell this one through the bag, so don’t plan on lighting up if you’re trying to be sneaky. High THC potency will lift you away from your troubles in a hurry.
Great White Shark
Named after one of the most well-known predators on earth, this strain lives up to its namesake. It can lend itself nicely to a burst of energy but treat it with respect or it can take you out of the game. It won the 1997 High Times Cannabis Cup on the back of its unbelievable potency.
