Six varieties for the stress of choice
Elections are not particularly relaxing for anyone, especially during a pandemic. Fortunately, we in the Great White North are blessed to have one of the best cures around – legalized cannabis.
Whichever side of the political spectrum you fall on, elections can be stressful. So why not pick up a small legal pot after the vote as a reward for fulfilling your patriotic duty?
Relax and watch the ballots come in with one (or all) of these six types.
Blue dream
Put yourself in a hazy headspace with the fruity and floral taste of Blue Dream.
The typically moderate THC content of this strain makes you feel like you’re floating on a cloud without completely knocking you out while you watch the results.
Dense concentrations of myrcene paired with caryophyllene and pinene give a concentrated, but strongly calming, trance-like feeling.
Grandpa Lila
Granddaddy Purple delivers that badass punch you need after weeks of campaigning. This strain is all about relaxation and will make you cool as a cucumber no matter who wins.
The taste and aroma deliver a fresh grape and berry flavor with a hint of skunk. Grandaddy Purple has dense amounts of linalool and myrcene for a relaxing and calming effect.
GMO cookies
Everyone knew that as a kid you shouldn’t get caught with your hands in a cookie jar, but election stress calls for a treat and GMO cookies will remove any worries you might have.
Slow things down a bit and enjoy the phenomenal body noise of the terpenes caryophyllene, humulene and myrcene. Believe it or not, the smooth, cookie-like taste goes great with the garlic diesel finish on GMO Cookies.
White window
White Widow has the right bite for every mood. This strain is known for lifting spirits and creating a relaxing atmosphere. She is cool and happy.
White Widow is loaded with the terpenes caryophyllene, linalool, myrcene and pinene. This popular strain has earthy pine aromas and a long-lasting effect.
Purple Diesel
No matter what the results are on election night, you will be clear, relaxed and happy, and ignite a touch of Lilac Diesel. Sweet and soothing notes of citrus, berries, pine and a dense gas aroma shine through with the unique taste of this bud.
The strain combines a genetic cross of Silver Lemon Haze, Forbidden Fruit, NYC Cherry Pie and Citral Glue with terpenes like pinene, caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene, creating an on-site blend of uplifting and calming effects.
Bubba Kush
No need to worry about voting, the results are beyond your control once you cast your vote. Instead, make yourself comfortable with Bubba Kush and forget about it.
Like a weighted blanket, the calm, calming effects of this variety of myrcene and caryophyllene increase instantly upon inhalation.
The soft, chocolate and coffee-like taste of Bubba Kush flows through when you exhale and the euphoric effect sets in.
