The Perfect Bud! 8 Valentine's Day Strain
Happy Valentine’s Day! For this Valentine’s Day, it’s important to remember that cannabis flowers are just as special as regular flowers with just as much variety. This still counts if you are anti-Valentine’s and celebrate Galentine’s Day instead. So if you want to celebrate this loving day with cannabis, there are some fun, Valentine-themed strains you might want to look out for! However, it is important to remember not to over indulge on Valentine’s Day, you still want to be able to have fun. Enjoy your holiday responsibly.
Love Potion #1
SATIVA
Feelings: Aroused, Energetic, Creative
Strain Flavors: Spicy, Herbal/Lemon, Citrus
THC 19% | CBG 1%
This one (and the next) is an obvious choice to kick off Valentine’s Day with your lover. Love Potion #1 is a sativa strain that gives its users feelings of euphoria, arousal, and happiness. This citrusy strain mixes with an earthy scent to give it a classical funky smell, sure to make you want to smoke one more blunt. As it is a mood enhancer, most who have tried Love Potion #1 recall feeling both emotionally and physically excited. One could say it’s like they were struck by one of Cupid’s arrows.
Love Potion #9
INDICA
Feelings: Giggly, Aroused, Relaxed
Strain Flavors: Honey, Sweet, Pear
THC 18% | CBG 1%
If Love Potion #1 didn’t work out or sativas aren’t your thing, time to try out Love Potion #9. This indica strain can give you the same feelings of euphoria and arousal as Love Potion #1. A big difference in the two strains is that #9 is a heavy hitter and won’t wait to make you stuck to the couch, without fear of falling asleep, however. Some users have said that this Love Potion really works as one, leaving them with no sleep until February 16th, if you know what I mean. (Wink, wink!) Be sure to stay hydrated if you try this one with sexy plans!
Valentine X
HYBRID
Feelings: Creative, Aroused, Talkative
Strain Flavors: Violet, Sage, Mango
CBD 13% | THC 1%
Just like the secret ingredient to making the Power Puff Girls, this X strain is used for treatments a.k.a. It is a largely medicinal strain rather than a recreational one. But, this doesn't take it out of Valentine's strain running. Valentine X is a balanced hybrid high in CBD content, with a CBD to THC ratio of 25:1. This strain is derived from the ACDC strain that is well known to leave its users relaxed while still alert all without causing any paranoia. Its medicinal values, according to Honeysuckle Magazine, “works well to treat symptoms of seizure disorders. This type of weed is also a powerful anti-inflammatory, and reportedly has had success when used by cancer patients to treat pain relief.” You might not use this one to feel the THC, but it can mellow you out if you’ve had too much chocolate or wine.
Chocolate Kush
INDICA
Feelings: Relaxed, Sleepy, Hungry
Strain Flavors: Coffee, Earthy, Vanilla
THC 17% | CBD 0%
Chocolate might be more important than kisses on Valentine’s Day... without the box of chocolates, can we even call it Valentine’s? So don’t skip out on this sweet, sweet strain. Chocolate Kush is an indica strain that makes it easy to relax and open your mind. With an increase in thoughtfulness and focus, it might be the right time to ask your partner, “Would you still love me if I was a worm?” or “Would you peel an orange for me?” You know, all the tough ones. Then, once you’ve gotten those questions out of the way, Chocolate Kush can lull you both into a deep, contented sleep.
Diamond Girl
INDICA HYBRID
Feelings: Euphoric, Aroused, Relaxed
Strain Flavors: Coffee, Plum, Berry
THC 21% | CBG 1%
This strain might be the real “girl’s best friend.” If you can’t get your partner real diamonds, this is a close second. Diamond Girl is an indica hybrid strain created from the combination of Early Pearl, Haze, Northern Lights, and Skunk. Although those are some heavy strains, Diamond Girl isn’t incredibly potent and can still be smoked before a night out without impairing you. It has a sweet flavor and has been complemented by users for leaving them with a nice, non-skunky smell that’s perfect for kissing your lover with. No mints needed!
Pink Kush
HYBRID
Feelings: Sleepy, Hungry, Relaxed
Strain Flavors: Rose, Flowery, Sweet
THC 19% | CBG 1%
Pink is the color of love and the vibe of this fun strain. This strain is perfect for the classic kush lover, if OG Kush if your favorite this would be a great pick for you. Pink Kush is an indica hybrid that has long lasting effects for its users. Its flavor is sweet and floral which only adds to it being perfect for a Valentine’s Day smoke session. Users have said this strain gives them a playful feeling while still being relaxed and at ease. I’d choose this strain for the first bowl of the day or if you and your lover get into a fight before Valentine’s Day.
Chocolope
SATIVA
Feelings: Energetic, Creative, Uplifted
Strain Flavors: Coffee, Nutty, Chestnut
THC 22% | CBG 3%
It’s another chocolate option for the sweet tooths! Just like potato chips, you can never have just one! The Chocolope strain is a strong sativa that is also called D Line. Its flavors are earthy, sweet, and can have a coffee taste too. This strain is known to be extremely uplifting and is a great way to start your day or simply begin your festivities. The laughter this strain is sure to bring out in you and your partner will be wonderful and make you feel closer to them. And if you were smoking cannabis in the 80s, this is a strain that pays homage to the chocolate strains from back then!
Berry White
INDICA
Feelings: Euphoric, Talkative, Hungry
Strain Flavors: Berry, Blueberry, Sweet
THC 16% | CBD 0%
Lastly, we have the notorious Barry-oops! I mean, Berry White. Some of the most romantic songs have been sung by Mr. White, and now, you and your partner can get romantic over a joint of this indica hybrid strain. Berry White is a cross between Blueberry and White Widow, two common and well received strains. This hybrid is meant to leave its users feeling relaxed, cool, and soothed, just like listening to one of its namesakes songs. This is the strain to end the night on, something to carry you off to sleep without letting you fall asleep with the lights on. (It’s happened to the best of us.) Berry White is one of the strains you choose after spending the night going on dates and having a wonderful Valentine’s Day.
