We’ve reached the final episode in our “good weed” series, and it's all about energizing strains! These THC-forward strains provide focused energy and creativity, making them perfect for social outings, brainstorming sessions, or even cutting back on coffee. Tune in to discover why strains like Sour Diesel and XJ-13 can be great alternatives to alcohol, and why starting slow is key to finding the right effects for you.
“What is the experience like when you smoke it? Is it harsh? Are you coughing or is it a smooth experience where you really taste the flavors? It’s a smooth hit. High terpenes are going to make the experience kind of just last a little longer. Also, is there a resin ring around your joint while you’re smoking it? Does it go out a lot while you’re smoking it? Do you constantly have to relight it or is it just kind of lit the whole time? These are just kind of little qualifying things that I look for when I’m determining what’s good weed and what I want to put out there.” - Adriana Carlile

Today’s episode begins a 4-part series exploring what “good weed” truly means - for women. We’re challenging the outdated idea that “good weed” is defined by a group of guys hanging out in a smoky room. Instead, we’re redefining it to support the diverse needs of women—whether it’s for stress relief, a creative spark, or a balanced, enjoyable high. Stay tuned for the rest of the series, where we’ll share the best cannabis strains to match how you want to feel.
“At the end of the day, what good weed is for you is going to differ from what good weed is for me. What’s good for those high-time stoner bros who have declared that weed to be the chronic, the fire, the dopest shit around, it’s not my chronic, bro. I like something that has less of a THC effect, something that’s more mind windy, get lost in a creative process, or that’s really social and chatty is more fun to me than just checking out and going away.”
