Green Crack
Different strains tend to give a wide variety of unique effects.

It takes the best qualities from its mother strains making it perfect for both medical and recreational smoking. You’ll find yourself feeling relaxed almost instantly but also uplifted and extremely happy. It is not a well-known strain to many cannabis users but it is quickly growing in popularity.
Gorilla Glue #4
If you’re looking for some of the highest THC levels around, look no further. A good crop of Gorilla Glue #4 can reach an impressive 30% THC so you shouldn’t take smoking this lightly. If you are new to cannabis maybe try something a bit less potent, but for those who are regular users don’t pass up a hit of that GG4 bong that’s being passed around. Most people assume that since the THC is so high this weed will leave you with a comatose feeling, but it is just the opposite. It can enhance mental processes and is even beneficial for increasing creativity.
Blue Dream
Blue Dream has been at the top of the weed charts for many years now – especially in California – but it continues to impress the cannabis world. It is a 50/50 indica sativa blend so it possesses qualities of both. Smoke it early in the morning or late at night; it’s perfect for both relaxation and productivity depending on your mood.
OG Kush
Last but certainly not least, OG Kush continues to be one of the top cannabis strains. Many cross breeds actually incorporate OG Kush so even if you haven’t tried it in its true form chances are you’ve gotten glimpses of it by smoking other strains. Smoking a bit of OG will relieve any tension or stress you’re feeling, so kick back and relax with a joint of this stuff after a long day.
