A fan-favorite among those who need a serious mood reset. Purple Punch brings on the calm with a fruity, dessert-like flavor that’s as sweet as its effects.

Best enjoyed when your to-do list is done, and all that’s left is the couch and your favorite playlist.

Type: Sativa-dominant hybrid
Sweet, tangy, and a little tropical, this strain offers a creative lift without overwhelming your senses. Great for social hangouts or vibing out with music.

Consumption tip: A few hits in a dry herb vape can help you stay in the zone longer.

For Sleep: Find Your Fade-Out Formula

5. GMO (Garlic Cookies)

THC: ~28%
Type: Indica
Don’t let the funky name fool you—GMO is one of the most powerful strains for deep, restful sleep. Its heavy sedative effects kick in fast, making it a staple for nighttime use.

Best used 30–60 minutes before bed. Don’t plan on doing much afterward except brushing your teeth and melting into your sheets.

6. CBN-Infused Strains & Edibles

THC/CBD/CBN: Varies
Type: Indica or 1:1 formulas
CBN is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid known for its relaxing, sleep-promoting effects. Ask our budtenders about edibles or flower with added CBN for a gentle, controlled fade into sleep.

Especially helpful if you’re sensitive to high THC or want a low-dose sleep aid.

How to Choose the Right Strain for You

With so many options available, picking the right strain can feel overwhelming—but that’s what we’re here for. Here are a few quick tips to keep in mind:

• Read the label. THC and CBD percentages are a helpful starting point, but don’t forget about terpenes. Limonene = uplifting. Myrcene = relaxing.
• Think about your setting. Are you relaxing at home, heading to a concert, or winding down for bed? Let your activity guide your strain.
• Ask our budtenders. Seriously—we love helping you find your vibe. Whether you’re chasing creativity or looking for sleep support, we’ll point you in the right direction.
