The best weed strains for waking up and baking
Nothing compares to a wake n’ bake to start the day centered and positive. Some like to start each morning with a nice hit to set the tone, others save it for weekends or holidays. Some wake up and bake out of need for a brighter morning, free from aches and pains, illnesses, or even the occasional hangover.
Regardless of the reason for the ritual, we bring you ten great strains to start your day with. Below is a plethora of flavors, effects, and vibes. Who knows, you might even find your new favorite.
strawberry cough
Sometimes you just want something sweet to start the day, and this sweet-smelling strain is a perfect choice with her uplifting effects. A potent sativa, Strawberry Cough will give you the energy to get you out of bed while melting away the stress of the night before or whatever lies ahead.
harlequin
For those who want to take their morning meds but stay sane, CBD-dominant Harlequin delivers just that. This strain relieves pain while avoiding the more stoned effects of an average high-THC strain.
Start the day with Harlequin and a calming cup of tea to ease yourself into a comfortable and focused state.
Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express was made famous by the film of the same name, but has stood the test of time thanks to its wide availability and popular energetic effects.
Think of this strain as the proverbial bucket of cold water splashing over your tired head and knocking you out of bed. Plus, its citrus flavors pair perfectly with your morning cup of OJ and scrambled eggs.
White window
This heady, euphoric strain is a great addition when starting the day in the company of others. Some of us (including myself) aren’t big fans of chatting with others first thing in the morning, but White Widow is an energetic hybrid that encourages creativity, community, and conversation.
It tickles
Look, we get it; Not every morning is one you want to get out of bed. That’s okay! It’s 2022 and we’re all relearning and respecting the need for rest, dear.
Maybe you’re hungover, maybe you’ve had a really rough week, maybe you just need a damn minute – Zkittlez is a relaxing indica for any lazy morning. This sweet, grape-flavored strain keeps you mellow but awake, with a balanced effect that uplifts mood and promotes focus.

wet dream
Many things can be said about starting the day with a Wet Dream, but let’s just say that this sativa-dominant hybrid with spicy notes proves excellent for daytime and morning use due to its energetic effects. It has that certain something that gets the blood pumping in the morning. Wet Dream is also great for relieving stress and getting your day off to a relaxed, happy start.
Tropicana Cookies
Tropicana Cookies blooms with citrus and tropical aromas, and Leafly readers have confirmed its highly energizing effects to keep you awake and focused. The uplifting effect sets the mood for the whole day, making her a happy choice for an early morning hit.
lemon pepper
It’s not just for chicken wings. If you’re like me, you might find it difficult to eat something in the morning. Sometimes our appetites need a little kick to wake up after our bodies have, and after all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Lemon pepper wakes you and your digestive system up—the perfect combination to motivate you to finally use up the rest of those expensive pasture eggs still sitting in your fridge. Yes I see you.

Peaches and Cream
Peaches n’ Cream is a wonderful wake-up strain if you plan to spend your morning in a creative flow. The low-THC strain is energizing and euphoric, with a penchant for stimulating focus, creativity, and mood-enhancing.
