296. Sour Diesel vs. Super Silver Haze: Which Strain is Right for You?


Listen Later

Looking for a cannabis strain to energize your summer? In this episode of our Essential Strains series, host Ellen Scanlon is spotlighting two legendary picks: Sour Diesel and Super Silver Haze. Both of these classics are known for delivering uplifting effects, helping with focus, and easing pain—so how do you choose?

You’ll hear from women who’ve tried both and share how each one made them feel. Think of this episode as your cheat sheet for summer sanity—whether you're tackling a to-do list, chasing kids, or craving a little more motivation.

If you’re curious about cannabis and want a stress-free way to get started, remember to start low and slow. Look for THC levels under 20%, and take just a small hit until you know how it makes you feel.

Thanks to our guests: Heather Butler, Antuanette Gomez, Rose Beverly, Sabrina Wheeler, Hayley Dineen, Lana Van Brunt, Breanna Neff and Lauren Yoshiko

What you’ll learn:

  • What Sour Diesel and Super Silver Haze smell, taste, and feel like

  • How each strain can help with energy, mood, and focus

  • Why cannabis affects everyone differently—and how to find your ideal fit

  • How the Essential Strains list makes shopping for weed so much easier
