The Best Hybrid Cannabis Strains for a Balanced High
From the creative inspiration of a cerebral buzz to the mellow relaxation of a body high, marijuana can unlock a world of unique possibilities. For many users, the buzz from the best hybrid strains hits the sweet spot.
By seamlessly blending the effects of different types of marijuana, hybrid cannabis strains satisfy every smoker and aspect of cannabis culture. A balanced high can help combat unwanted side effects while creating unique combinations that new and old smokers will appreciate.
Make your next smoke session legendary by loading your bowl with the best hybrid strains. Let’s explore these balanced strains further and discover how they can contribute to your wellness.
Best of Both Worlds
Marijuana classifications fall into three different strains: indica, sativa, and hybrids. Though each strain is different depending on its terpenes and cannabinoids, you can expect each classification to share similar characteristics.
Indica
The effects of indica strains are easy to remember with the mnemonic “in da couch.” Users report that indica creates feelings of bliss and relaxation while relieving stress and anxiety. It’s also notorious for side effects that include couch lock (a feeling of laziness) and giving users the munchies.
Sativa
Sativa is known as the cerebral strain. Anecdotal reports suggest that sativa can promote creativity and focus while boosting motivation and feelings of euphoria. However, unlike the balanced high of the best hybrid strains, sativa side effects can include paranoia or anxiety.
Hybrid
Hybrid cannabis strains can be classified as indica or sativa-dominant based on their effects, though many hybrid strains are considered an equal blend between the two. Generally, growers create hybrids using two parent strains that cultivate or avoid specific effects. The best hybrid strains help smokers achieve unique highs while avoiding unwanted side effects.
The Best Hybrid Strains
When it comes to hybrid cannabis strains, we’ve, ahem, done our research. Now, we’ve put down the bongs and stepped out of the lab long enough to share our findings with you! The following list represents some of the best hybrid strains on the market today.
Blue Dream
Sweet berry flavors bring on a balanced high with each puff of Blue Dream. This bud is a textbook hybrid, creeping up after a few hits to euphorically boost your mood while keeping your body at ease. If you’re new to smoking cannabis, take note: this is a potent strain at around 20% THC.
Runtz
Smokers with a sweet tooth will love Runtz. Users claim this hybrid cannabis strain blends a buzzy body high with a clear, focused mind. Enjoy Runtz during the day and avoid sedation or lack of motivation.
Sour Diesel
A classic strain, Sour Diesel hits you fast with an uplifting, energetic high before settling into a smooth body relaxation. Known for its skunky, fuel-like aroma, it’s ideal for daytime use when you need a boost without the crash or sluggishness.
Biscotti
The first thing you notice when you see a Biscotti bud is its beautiful trichomes. This indica-dominant hybrid is a sight to see. It’s even better to smoke.
A blend of cookies and diesel aromas swirl through the creamy smoke, bringing on a relaxing creativity. This is one of the best hybrid strains for creative endeavors.
Apple Fritter
Apple Fritter produces a unique smoke laced with earthy orchard flavors. Its powerful high starts in the head and then works through the body until your buzz is perfectly aligned. A smoking session with Apple Fritter is bound to bring out creative conversations and gut-busting laughter.
Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express isn’t just one of the best hybrid strains—it’s one of the most famous, too. Even if this bud never had a role on the silver screen, it would still be a star in our eyes.
Its bright, tropical hits bring long-lasting energy while keeping you alert. This strain is best smoked during the day to enjoy its pleasantly persistent blend.
White Widow
At 15% THC, White Widow has the lowest potency of all the strains on our list. This makes the classic bud an excellent choice for those with a lower tolerance. Spicy, woody smoke reveals a high that lightly tingles through the body as it eases your mind and boosts your energy.
Mimosa
This cannabis hybrid strain is a great way to start your day. Puffs from these citrusy nugs unleash a wave of uplifted motivation that will make you want to seize the moment. We love loading our bowls with Mimosa to add some fun to a day filled with housework.
Skywalker OG
Skywalker OG is one of the more mellow strains on our list. Smokers report stress and anxiety easing as a motivated body high takes hold almost instantly.
Just like The Force, this is the type of hybrid cannabis strain that flows through you. Take a few hits of Skywalker OG before going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters.
Gelato
The plush smoke from sweet puffs of Gelato immediately brings on the motivated, peaceful feeling of the best hybrid strains. Enjoy a lifted mood without brain fog, allowing you to tackle your tasks happily. Many users report the light body high helps relieve pain, too.
