The 10 Best Strains for Making Cannabis Edibles

BEST WEED STRAINS TO MAKE EDIBLES WITH

Eating your greens is a much more effective and potent way to medicate rather than smoking it.

Although edibles don’t kick in as quickly as other forms of consumption, it offers long-lasting relief especially for people suffering from chronic pain. It’s also a great way to enjoy a strong high if you’re a recreational user.

Having said that, the edibles market has exploded in the last few years. But making your own edibles at home is so much easier than ever. A lot of the success in making edibles lies in proper decarboxylation as well as choosing the right strain. Strains have their own flavors that can affect the flavor of the edible you’re trying to make.

Choosing between a sativa, indica, or hybrid will also impact the type of high you get. But we’ve already handpicked 10 of the best tasting strains for making edibles so that you don’t have to get too overwhelmed.

Check out these 10 tasty strains for making edibles at home:

Sativa

Sour Diesel, when used in edibles, will launch you into outer space in the most delicious and delightful way. Famous for its potency and taste, Sour Diesel delivers a balanced high that calms and keeps you euphoric.
Lemon Haze’s invigorating aroma of freshly peeled lemons and citrus is one of the best strains to make edibles with. Powerfully energizing and uplifting, eating Lemon Haze edibles are ideal for those lazy days. This strain also does a great job at addressing depression and stress.
Tangie is a powerful sativa; it’s the new version of everyone’s favorite, Tangerine Dream. It has a refreshing citrusy flavor that oftentimes tastes like candy. If you’re bogged down by fatigue and need a jolt of energy, you can count on Tangie to do the trick – deliciously!

Indica

Bubba Kush is an excellent strain to cook or bake with if you’d like some help with sleep or pain. Bubba Kush buds usually have a lot of resins, which means that it’s abundant in essential oils. Bubba Kush is an effective tranquilizer, so expect to be sedated from head to toe.
Skywalker is a strain famous for inducing relaxation especially after a long, tiring day. It has a fruity and sweet aroma that goes great with baked goods. People love it for helping them get into a sleepy head high as it washes off any stress you might have.
Blue Cheese OG is a powerful indica that’s pretty much half UK Cheese and half Blueberry. It smells and tastes like a tasty blue cheese which means you can’t go wrong using this on your edibles. It’s also widely used to help with mental conditions such as depression and stress, and Blue Cheese will put you to sleep in no time.

Hybrid

Trainwreck is a powerful sativa-dominant hybrid that can hit you like a freight train. Newbies should dose in moderation if you don’t have as much experience with strong strains like this one. Great for use during the day, Trainwreck’s spicy pine and sweet lemon aroma go well with both sweet and savory dishes.
White Widow is a well-balanced hybrid that does an excellent job of inspiring creativity and euphoria. Providing excellent stress relief, White Widow can be used for the day if you don’t eat too much but it can also make you sleepy if you make strong edibles out of it.
Blue Dream is a world-renowned sativa dominant hybrid from California. Use this strain to gently invigorate both mind and body. It has a sweet berry taste and can provide fast symptom relief for pain and depression.
Gelato, also known as Larry Bird, is a pleasantly sweet strain with floral tones. Its high THC content ensures a powerful dose with each bite you take, delivering creativity, relaxation, and happiness.

When cooking with edibles, keep in mind that they’re easy to do but mastering them will take some experimentation. They affect everyone differently but be careful because the high delivered by edibles is a huge difference from what you feel when you smoke them. Always start slow and work your way up: that’s always been the rule of thumb when making edibles.
