With just under 800 widely different cannabis strains on the market, it’s good to know which ones are hit and which ones are disappointing misses. Over the following article, we’ll be covering some of the very best cannabis strains known to man and detailing just exactly what it is that makes them so popular among smokers.
The Best Cannabis Strains to use for Sleep
Granddaddy Purple
Granddaddy Purple is by far one of the most popular cannabis strains for relaxation and sleep. A hybrid cross, Granddaddy Purple (or ‘GDP’, to its friends) takes traits from both of its parents (Purple Urkle and Big Bud) to secrete a strong aroma of mixed berries and offer a couch-locked high with strong, relaxing sedative properties.
The plant yields stunning dense buds with hues of light purple, making it both a beautiful bud and arguably the best cannabis strain to help you sleep.
Purple Kush
With its Californian roots, Purple Kush is a massively popular strain. It’s Purple Afghani and Hindu Kush heritage, Purple Kush is one heavy hitter and will more or less guarantee a good nights’ sleep. Strangely for an Indica strain, it’s also held in high esteem for the long-lasting feelings of euphoria.
The versatility of Purple Kush makes it perfect for recreational use while its shear potency doesn’t make it an ideal strain if you have anything to do on the chosen day.
The Best Cannabis Strains to Uplift
Pineapple Express
With its famous parents, Trainwreck and Hawaiian Punch, Pineapple Express carries a distinct woody scent combines with tropical fruits such as mango, papaya, and yes, pineapple. The deep, tropical taste will keep you packing the bowl, while its hard-hitting Sativa properties will leave you with an energetic buzz that last for hours.
Users of Pineapple Express have also reported heavy fits of giggles, so maybe not the best strain to smoke on your way to work.
Durban Poison

This Sativa strain grows in heavy buds and drips with glistening trichomes. making it a first choice for those looking to make hash.
As far as productivity and creativeness go, this is the epitome of focused thinking strains.
Lamb’s Breath / Lamb’s Bread
This super sticky bud comes in an awesome shade of shocking green. Deriving from Jamaica, this Sativa strain is massively popular with the locals. It’s even reported that this is the strain the late, great Bob Marley smoked, and who are we to argue with cannabis-smoking royalty?
Inducing a feeling of weightlessness, Lamb’s Breath yields a focused and creative high with energetic tones.
Gelato
Gelato hails from the Thin Mint GSC and Sunset Sherbert strains. Like its parents, this strain grows with stark orange hairs with contrasting purple tints throughout its buds. Known for its relaxing and euphoric high, Gelato is another strain known for its heightened properties of creativeness and deep thinking.
With its flowery sweet aroma, Gelato is all too easy to smoke and makes for a great strain to whip out at a party.

I only smoke Durban Poison. It’s the best strain that I have used in my country and it’s a little bit rare but I have a good supplier who never disappointed me for once. I have it cook it sometimes mixed in my food.
