The 6 best strains for Aquarius season

Aquarius, the eleventh sign in the zodiac, represented by the water-wielding Greek hero Ganymede, is both charming and iconoclastic, and ultimately the most individual of all zodiac signs.

People born between January 20th and February 17th can seem both familiar and mysterious in an intriguing way. Ruled by Uranus, this air sign boasts creators and destroyers, outcasts and icons—the wild, free thinkers who drive our society for better or for worse. The selection is huge and includes Frederick Douglas, Paris Hilton, Audre Lorde, Sarah Palin, Oprah Winfrey and Angela Davis.

Aquarius energy is more than just a counterculture cornerstone; it is a force to be reckoned with. Even if you don’t know anyone born under this zodiac sign, harnessing your own innate Aquarian power could take you into a totally revolutionary state.

Below are six Aquarius neighboring strains.

3x crazy

3X Crazy, also known as Optimus Prime, is a hybrid bred from OG Kush, Bubba Kush, and Granddaddy Purple. She usually tends towards a euphoric and stoned high.

When Aquarius vibes are getting out of hand and you’re suddenly orchestrating some kind of upheaval, 3X Crazy is the way to curb the impulsiveness of Aquarius season without sacrificing the Aquarius all-for-one, one-for-all spirit. Therapeutic consumers report 3X Crazy as potentially effective for ADHD, migraines, nausea and stress. Recreational users report a smooth body euphoria and a restrained, inspirational galaxy brain head high.

Expect a skunky sweet nose and exhale reminiscent of overripe summer berries.

alien tarantula

Alien Tarantula is a calming strain that activates an astro-traveling cognitive shift. It is a cross between Alien Technology and Tarantula and delivers solidly stoned, mind-expanding effects. If the Aquarian vibes you’re trying to manifest are uplifting, creative, and sociable, this strain might be worth an audition.

Recreational users report heady highs wrapped in a cashmere body high that floats on the other side of the couch lock. Therapeutic consumers describe potential relief from depression, anxiety, and stress that enlightened Aquarius doesn’t have time for anyway.

Expect pepper, honey and gas on the nose and a floral, honeyed exhale.

The dark side of the moon

Dark Side of the Moon reportedly lives up to its psychedelic namesake, delivering highs that are calming in the body and introspective in the head. Bonus: It can activate your arousal centers, so prepare accordingly.

Recreational smokers celebrate this strain for its peaceful head high that is simultaneously grounding and expansive. Therapeutic consumers describe relief from chronic pain, muscle spasms and spasms.

Expect a funky, berry-sweet nose and a spicy, botanical extract.

Fruity Chronic Juice

Bred from White Widow and Chronic, Fruity Chronic Juice is a little prodigy. Originally formulated as a medicinal strain by Delicious Seeds, this low 1:1 THC:CBD – 7%-12% on average – has been reported to potentially alleviate a long list of ailments including gastrointestinal disorders, tremors and arthritis. For recreational users on the lower end of the tolerance spectrum, this strain can deliver a physically relaxing body high and a spacey yet social high that could be perfect for bringing out your inner Aquarius.

Expect big, tropical fruit energy from this pheno, with a citrusy bang on the nose and hints of fruit salad on the exhale.

Willie Wonka

Mr. Wonka has arguably the strongest Aquarius vibes of all time, so his eponymous strain would make this list. It is also very Aquarius in that several breeders have bred Willy Wonka and as such its origins are difficult to pin down. However, the most popular iteration is an energetic cross between Chocolate Thai and Cinderella 99.

Consumers report highs that focus a racing mind without sedation and energize without jitters. She also maintains a lower THC percentage—less than 20% on average—which might make her a suitable strain for those with a low tolerance.

Expect an exhale that stays true to the Wonka name, both chocolaty and candy candy.

Sweet Cindy

A strain bred for an energetic high, Sweet Cindy is a cross between Sweet Tooth #3, Cinderella 99, and BOG Bubble. This strain reportedly delivers mentally clearing, bubbly effects that pair well with low-stakes social situations and deep, interpersonal conversations. Some say it also delivers a fiery creative streak that can be successfully transformed into an engaging personal creative project.

Therapeutic consumers report potential relief from chronic pain, stress, and ADHD. Although recreational users with a low tolerance will dig deep for the low THC percentage, averaging 15%, uni stoners will appreciate the nuanced terpene profile and complex cannabinoid balance that are very Aquarian about them.

Expect a citrusy-sweet, earthy aroma and a citrusy-tart output.
