For Relaxation: Your Unwind Essentials
Need to take the edge off after a long day? These strains are beloved for their soothing effects and ability to help you feel grounded without totally knocking you out.
1. Gush Mints
THC: ~27%
Type: Indica-dominant hybrid
This flavorful strain blends sweet and earthy notes with a minty finish. Gush Mints is a go-to for full-body relaxation and a calm mind—perfect for evenings when you want to chill hard without falling asleep.
Consumption tip: Try this one as a vape or in a pre-roll for a fast-acting unwind.
2. Purple Punch
THC: ~18-22%
Type: Indica
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.
For Creativity: Spark Something New
Whether you're journaling, painting, or just want to see your favorite movie in a whole new light, these strains can help lift the fog and turn up the inspiration.
3. Super Lemon Haze
THC: ~19-25%
Type: Sativa
This citrusy classic is known for its energetic, clear-headed buzz that boosts focus and creative thinking. A great daytime option if you're looking to feel alert and inspired.
Pro tip: Pair this with a walk outside or a brainstorming session—you’ll thank us later.
4. Tropicana Cookies
THC: ~21%
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
When counting sheep just isn’t cutting it, the right strain can help you wind down and actually stay asleep. These are our top picks for weed for sleep in NJ.
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.
