8 Top Cannabis Strains for Sunny Days

Summer is at its peak, and the heat is too. Depending on where you live, it can be well over 100 degrees, and you’re probably looking for any possible way to get your mind off of the summer time heat. For some of us, smoking a joint can make you feel better, even if it’s 110 outside. Here are a few strains that match the summer time vibes.

Sunset Sherbert

HYBRID

Feelings: Relaxed, Happy, Giggly Strain

Flavors: Sweet, Tropical, Citrus

THC 18% | CBG 1%

The most perfect time of day in the summer is sunset, the sun’s not beating down your neck, and the air begins to cool. This strain is an Indica dominant hybrid that has a sweet flavor. Some users describe it as having a candy or dessert-like taste with lots of fruity notes. The feeling Sunset Sherbert is known to give is more calming, but still with a strong cerebral high that can last for a long time. It’s a great strain for ending a long summer day. If you’re a medical patient, Sunset Sherbert can help treat symptoms like stress, insomnia, muscle pain, and mood disorders.

Trop Cherry

HYBRID

Feelings: Focused, Energetic, Creative

Strain Flavors: Tropical, Berry, Tree fruit

THC 19% | CBG 1%

If you’re feeling like you should be in the tropics, Trop Cherry is the strain for you. Trop Cherry has been a popular summer strain for a few years now. Stoners from across the country have seen this Sativa hybrid strain, in a dispensary or two. The strain itself is a mix between Trop Cookings and Cherry Cookies, this way they developed a strain with large nugs, purple tones, and beautifully sparkling trichomes. With the look of Trop Cherry being so pretty, the taste matches well. It has tropical, citrus, and a mild tea flavor. The mix of flavors makes it pair well with most summertime drinks. The way Trop Cherry affects its users is very energizing, it’s a great strain for anything creative, listening to music, or before swimming. If you’re a medical patient, this strain is great for pain, stress, and depression.

Berry Cream Puff

SATIVA

Feelings: Aroused, Energetic, Uplifted

Strain Flavors: Berry, Blue cheese, Nutty

THC -- | CBG --

Summer time desserts should be fresh and light, just like this Berry Cream Puff Strain. This strain was created by mixing Cake Crasher with an unknown strain. This Sativa strain is a bit higher in THC than the average strain, over twenty three percent! Berry Cream Puff has a strong berry flavor, alongside a buttery, diesel undertone, delicious for cannabis but not for a real dessert. Some users said Berry Cream Puff, although high in THC, provides a smooth, easy high that keeps you feeling awake but not wired. If you’re a medical patient, try this strain to relieve eye pain, cramps, or depression.

White Fire OG

SATIVA

Feelings: Energetic, Uplifted, Creative

Strain Flavors: Pungent, Spicy/Herbal, Earthy

THC 22% | CBG 1%

Did you know our yellow sun isn’t even close to being like a white sun? It might feel like it's white hot, but the White Fire OG strain can help you forget about the blazing heat. This strain is another with a higher THC level than normal, hitting at twenty five percent. White Fire OG’s hybrid base makes it uplifting while still relaxing its users. This is great for any time of day. Some users claim they use this strain to ease any mental stressors they may be having. The flavor of this strain is musky, spicy, and sour. If you’re a medical patient, White Fire OG is great for easing chronic or minor pain, inflammation, and nausea.

Juicy Fruit

HYBRID

Feelings: Happy, Energetic, Uplifted

Strain Flavors: Tropical, Sweet, Plum

THC 18% | CBG 1%

Y’all remember the Juicy Fruit gum? The one whose wrapper could leave a tattoo on your tongue? If only the packaging for this strain was the same! Juicy Fruit is a hybrid strain that comes from crossing Afghani and Thai, this cross helps the strain have a little more CBD content than others. While Juicy Fruit doesn’t have a very high THC level, it does have long lasting effects, if not used with caution, it has been reported to cause headaches and even paranoia. But don’t let this deter you. Juicy Fruit is great for creating and relieving stress. Users report feeling a mood boost, relaxation, and enhanced creativity. It is a strong high, so again, be careful and maybe put the joint down early. For medical patients, you can expect this strain to help with pain, anxiety, lack of appetite, and depression.

Nina Limone

SATIVA

Feelings: Euphoric, Talkative, Energetic

Strain Flavors: Lime, Spicy/Herbal, Lemon

THC 19% | CBG 1%

This super rare, lemony strain will certainly have you ‘Feeling Good’ this summer. Nina Limone is a Sativa hybrid made from Super Lemon Haze and Rebel God Smoke. It is known to provide a nice euphoric high, making its users talkative and social. Nina Limone’s flavor profile is as it sounds, lemony, limey, and herbaceous. This strain may not be available all over as it grows in small batches with dense nugs, so if you ever see it, give it a try! For medical patients this strain is perfect for relieving stress, depression, and anxiety. But, be careful with this strain, it might ‘Put a Spell on You’!’

Tangerine Kush

INDICA

Feelings: Sleepy, Hungry, Relaxed

Strain Flavors: Orange, Citrus, Tropical

THC 18% | CBG 1%

Fresh fruit is key to a perfect summer experience and Tangerine Kush is as refreshing as the name sounds. It is an indica dominant hybrid that is extremely citrusy with bright orange coloring. People who have used Tangerine Kush say it makes them feel happy, relaxed, and a little hungry. I’d recommend this for a summer night making s’mores, you’ll be happy, hungry, and at the end, be able to go to sleep feeling full. Be careful with this strain too, it can have a very heavy and quick onset but it is a quick high so you won’t be too high for too long. If you’re a medical patient, this strain is perfect for symptoms of depression, stress, pain, and anxiety.

Dole Whip

HYBRID

Feelings: Euphoric, Energetic, Focused

Strain Flavors: Pineapple, Tropical, Apricot

THC 21% | CBG 1%

Sticking to the icy dessert theme, a nice Dole Whip on a hot day might be best of all. The Dole Whip strain is super refreshing, just like its namesake. Dole Whip is a hybrid strain created by mixing Tropic Truffles with Cookies and Cream. It has a very tropical flavor with sweet pineapple, citrus, a little sourness, and a mild diesel after taste. Dole Whip can be up to twenty one percent THC and is known to have a potent high. If you choose to try this strain you can expect to feel euphoric and relaxed, perfect for any time of summer day. This strain is good for medical patients as it treats stress, anxiety, and depression. If you see this strain at your local dispensary, try it out! And if you ever get the chance to try the real dessert, I’d highly recommend it!
