Which strain is best for anxiety

Critical Mass doesn't have the limonene found in other excellent strains for treating anxiety, but its quotient of myrcene and caryophyllene pick up the slack. Reviewers say this strain excels at producing relaxed, happy and euphoric effects. If anxiety symptoms are affecting your body with tension and tightness, this is a strain to check out. It's an anxiety-relieving strain that puts away the idea that only heavy, sedating strains work to treat mental stress. With its sativa-focused effects and llight, energizing high, Royal Highness is a great strain for staying active and social.

Royal Highness' CBD and its rich complement of anxiety-reducing terpenes help to ease a worried mind. From its stat-sheet alone, Kosher Kush might not seem like it belongs anywhere near a list of anti-anxiety strains.

But Kosher Kush breaks the mold, and one recent study suggests why: Because of their genetics, many Kush strains share a pattern of high-THC and significant quantities of the terpene trans-nerolidol. Trans-nerolidol shows up in lots of strong aromatic compounds frequently used to treat anxiety and stress, such as jasmine and lemongrass.

Kosher Kush shares those traits and adds a rich array of myrcene, b-caryophyllene, and limonene. These qualities make it a perfect strain for people who still want a strong THC buzz, but one that won't tip over into anxiousness.

A powerful inflammation reducer, ACDC can help soothe anxiety's symptoms while its terpenes and oils combine synergistically to calm mental agitation. While we're on the subject, let's take a closer look at Cannatonic. Anxiousness can lead to headaches, and Cannatonic excels at relieving migraines.

It also contains a balanced complement of anxiety-reducing terpenes, with myrcene at the forefront. Setting aside the potentially anxiety-inducing reference to the killer clown, this strain's name is really an homage to the two strains Pennywise is crossed with, Jack the Ripper and Harlequin.

And it's the latter strain that imbues Pennywise with its signature ability to provide mental clarity and a sense of relaxation. Like other balanced CBD:THC strains on this list, Pennywise produces mild and uplifting psychoactive effects that reviewers say invigorate their sense of mental wellness.

However, it is also very helpful in reducing symptoms of anxiety. Its cerebral high is still mellow enough that you can enjoy it a few hours before bed. Amnesia Haze also has a distinctive citrus fragrance resulting from high limonene content.

Chocolate Chunk is a flavorful bud considered to be one of the best marijuana strains for anxiety management. The taste of this strain resembles an earthy clove aroma with a hint of cocoa. This is a strain derived entirely from indica strains and works as an effective sedative. If you have been suffering from a lack of sleep due to your anxiety, capping the night off with this medical marijuana strain could be an ideal way to let your mind relax and go to sleep.

We would not recommend using the Chocolate Chunk Strain in the middle of the day because of its sedative effect.

Unless you are planning to sit on your couch all day, the strain is ideal for bedtime. It is also high in THC, so you can expect to experience psychoactive effects that lower your anxiety. The Myrcene content in the strain promotes better sleep and relaxes your muscles to make it a perfect nighttime strain.

Contrary to how violent the name sounds, Jack Attack is also one of the best marijuana strains for anxiety management. Typically, the CBD content should be higher for marijuana strains used for anxiety management. However, this strain has a diverse parentage that combines both sativas and indicas for a combined effect.

The overall sensation of using this medical marijuana strain becomes calming for the user. If you are sensitive to high THC content, and that triggers your anxiety, we would recommend going for another strain that has a more immediate calming effect. True to its name, the Northern Lights strain is a euphoric medical marijuana strain. Northern Lights is one of the most popular strains used by medical marijuana users to manage their anxiety, controlling their pain, and to combat insomnia.

The blissful high created by the Northern Lights is also riddled with a sedating couch-lock effect that makes all your muscles relax and slow your brain down. Its high THC content also leads to psychoactive effects mellowed out by its abundance of myrcene and pinene terpenes.

The overall effect is calming, and you can feel high without racing thoughts. Sink in and let a blissful mindset take over. Many find that Jack Herer provides a mood adjustment without taxing your much-needed physical energy, making it a worthy consideration if anxiety strikes early in the day.

Not everyone wants to get stoned out of their gourd every time their anxiety symptoms flare up. Luckily, there are strains like Canna-Tsu that offer gentle effects that are easier to manage. Find that peaceful mindset without the worry of overdoing it with too much THC. Jillybean manages to walk the fine line between energizing and calming, giving you a sense of balance in your day. Inhale the sweet taste of citrus and breathe out all that tension in your body.

Remedy is a no-frills cannabis strain with one purpose: to walk you calmly through your anxiety toward a more peaceful mindset.
