We’ve put together a long list of strains for relaxation, serving up a broad range of choices to consider. Regardless of your cannabis experience level, lifestyle, or price point, you can be confident that you’ll find at least a few great strains to check out.

Tips for Choosing a Calming Strain that Suits Your Preferences

It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned consumer or a new arrival to the world of cannabis; navigating the multitude of strains out there can be a huge challenge. From debating the differences between THC- and CBD-dominant strains to deciding whether a sativa-dominant or indica-dominant is right for you, it can get pretty complicated pretty quickly. 

But at the Canna Provisions Group dispensaries in Massachusetts, we do things a little differently. Our goal has always been to simplify the shopping experience and make it easy to match marijuana strains to your desired experience. We believe in cannabis as an amazing addition to almost any lifestyle, so why not make it as simple as possible for consumers to find what they’re looking for?

So, instead of organizing our menu into indica, sativa, and hybrid strains, we went one step further. All of our products are categorized as either energizing, calming, or balanced. With this classification method, people can look at our menu and know exactly what to expect from the strains they’re thinking about purchasing. 

Here’s what you need to know to shop for cannabis for relaxation at one of our Massachusetts dispensaries.

Calming cannabis strains

For members of the cannabis community that arrive at Canna Provisions Group in search of that perfect marijuana strain for stress reduction, browsing is easy: the first place you’re going to look is in our selection of Calming Strains. 

The majority of this category’s strains are widely considered to be indica varieties, a well-known family for providing a relaxing high. Generally, these strains contain a higher ratio of CBD vs. THC content. However, because each strain comes with a unique cannabinoid profile, you can hone in on a specific option that flawlessly fits your requirements. 

Many customers of Canna Provisions report that our calming strains are their go-to for reducing stress and winding down after a long day. According to others, these strains are also reportedly ideal for pain relief, appetite improvement, and a “body high” that helps loosen tight muscles and decrease muscle spasms. 

Balanced cannabis strains

Our collection of Balanced Strains is also popular with customers, delivering an experience that falls comfortably between calming and energizing. Many people describe these as offering the best of both worlds, balancing mind and body effects for an enjoyable experience all-around. Most of the strains within this category would be labeled as hybrids.

Again, because every strain contains varying combinations of cannabinoids, you can opt for one that lines up with your ideal characteristics. Within the Balanced category are strains that lean towards calming effects, which can be ideal for your 2021 stress-reduction goals. Other consumer-reported effects of balanced strains include improved focus, pleasant relaxation, and a strengthened sense of creativity.

The Best Strains in 2021 for Relaxation 

You’ve learned that browsing calming and balanced (indica and hybrid) strains is a good start in your search for cannabis for reducing stress – but are there certain strains that are better for relaxing than others?

Of course, everyone’s cannabis journey is unique. No two consumers have the exact same experience, though we can get a good idea of some expected effects based on consumer reviews and the strains’ cannabinoid profiles. 

Here are our top pick for new strains and longtime favorites that you can enjoy for a more relaxing 2021:

Mendo Breath

Originating from an innovative combination of the parent strains OGKB (OG Kush Breath) and Mendo Montage, Mendo Breath produces an impressive body high that can melt away all your stress. Mendo Breath is often reported as being best enjoyed in the evening when you’re ready to go into complete relaxation mode. Some Canna Provisions customers have also described it as a great strain for chronic pain relief.

Vanilla Frosting

With 16.9% THC, Vanilla Frosting is a cultivar from the well-known Humboldt Seed Company. As you’ve probably guessed, its aroma is sweet, sugary, and rich in notes of vanilla. Much like Mendo Breath, Vanilla Frosting is a favorite among consumers who have included cannabis into their evening routines.

Crescendo

If you’re ready to wind down and say goodbye to stress, Crescendo could be the perfect match. Its genetic profile features a trifecta of iconic strains: Mandarian Cookies, Chemdog, and I-95. With a layered terpene profile that includes elements of sweetness, earthiness, and citrus alongside a distinct flavor of cookie dough, this is a one-of-a-kind strain.  

Scout Breath

Scout Breath is an indica-dominant hybrid that boasts 24.3% THC, making it a popular choice for the experienced consumer that enjoys the classic “couch-lock” of a full-body high. Reviews from customers most often describe this marijuana strain as the one thing that’s completely transformed their stress levels, helping them feel pleasantly sleepy and calm. This is yet another strain that we’d recommend you try after your workday is over so that you can make the most of the high THC content and sail off to a stress-free land.1189
