The Top 5 Strains To Beat Fatigue

What Marijuana Strains Can Increase Your Energy Levels and Get You Motivated? from CannabisNet on Vimeo.

The days of the lazy stoner stereotype are slowly fading. More “potheads” are increasingly becoming some of the world’s most successful, most fit, and most productive people. Yes – certain cannabis strains can give you the energy that you need to get more out of your day.

These energizing strains are excellent for individuals who suffer from daytime lethargy, or are battling fatigue as a side effect of other conditions. No matter why you always feel tired during the day, using certain cannabis strains can help you just as much (or even more!) as a good cup of joe.

The cannabinoids in your pot work so well to increase energy because they block GABA, a neurotransmitter that reduces dopamine production in the body. When the THC blocks GABA, this results in a dopamine increase. Higher dopamine levels results in feeling more focused and calm, and oftentimes also boosts creativity. Although most people associate dopamine with pleasure, it can also make you feel more motivated.

So if you’d rather have a few rips instead of a cup of coffee to get you up in the morning, check out these 5 high energy strains:

Amnesia Haze is an award-winning sativa that is loved for its ability to increase energy. This strain delivers a happy, euphoric high that will make you look forward to getting out of bed even if it’s in the small hours of the day. Amnesia Haze is widely used by creative types to help them focus on the task at hand; whether it’s finishing an article or working on music, this strain will help you beat fatigue effectively.

Lemon Haze is a heavy-hitting strain that has powerful fatigue-fighting properties. This delicious zesty lemon-flavored strain is as good as the cannabis equivalent of taking fresh lemon juice in the morning!

Users also report getting the munchies with this strain, so make sure that you’ve prepared a healthy snack in case it hits you.
