The 7 Best Cannabis Strains for Depression

Whether you deal with a bad case of the blues with shorter days and cold weather or struggle with depression in general, cannabis may be good for support. Several of the cannabinoids in cannabis can help uplift your mood and stabilize stress levels if stress tends to leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed. Further, some strains in Maine have grown to be a go-to for people looking to use weed for depression.
1. Chili verde from R & D Cannabis
One of the most popular picks on the medical menu at Gram’s, Chili Verde from R & D Cannabis is a soothing Indica strain with a noteworthy spicy flavor. However, this strain works well for a low mood by delivering a nice uptick of euphoric energy. This long-lasting energy seems to linger long after the initial buzz and can leave you feeling a bit lighter and less weighty where your mood is concerned.
2. Cherriez from Rugged Roots
If you prefer cannabis strains with Hybrid lineage, Cherriez from Rugged Roots is an excellent pick. This strain is available on the recreational menu. Still, many customers request it to support their wellness journeys, specifically when it comes to combating a sense of depression on gloomy days. The strain has a bright flavor reminiscent of summer, but it also relaxes the mind and tends to induce a serene state of happiness.
3. Hippie Juice from Misfit Mountain
Hippie Juice from Misfit Mountain is one of the most popular medical strains for individuals who are dealing with mood instability and use weed for mental health. Just as the name seems to imply, Hippie Juice has this light, happy personality that soothes stress and leaves you a little more focused and happy with life.
4. Point Break from Grass Roots Marijuana
Point Break from Grass Roots Marijuana is an award-winning recreational strain with a superior reputation due to its Cookies and Trophy Wife lineage. While the strain is insanely flavorful and always enjoyable to smoke, it is also a go-to for issues with depression and low mood. The effects can only be described as easy euphoria. You immediately feel the weight lift away from your mind and stress slip away.
5. Apples & Bananas from Wicked Good Fire
Another pick from the medical menu, Apples & Bananas from Wicked Good Fire is a sweet, easygoing strain with a higher potency than many. However, one of the most reported effects of this strain is its ability to wipe away feelings of sadness and gloom that feel like a stumbling block for your mental health. Apples & Bananas serves up a dessert-worthy flavor immediately, but the euphoric energy slips in almost immediately.
6. Zeppole from AAA Pharms
Few cannabis strains for depression are as uplifting and euphoric as Zeppole from AAA Pharms. This strain is on the adult-use menu, but it attracts more people looking for mental health support than those looking for recreational enjoyment. Zeppole is an evenly balanced Hybrid that was created by crossing the well-loved Gushers strain and Gelato 25. Therefore, it is highly flavorful with notes of cream and fruit, but the effects are filled with an energetic euphoria that can help you power through a tough day when your depression is trying to run the show.
7. Grape Diamonds from Nova Farms
Grape Diamonds is a relative newcomer to the Nova Farms lineup and part of the MIDZ collection, which is known as the more affordable but high-quality strains of the brand. Grape Diamonds isn’t just affordable, however, it is also impressively uplifting when it comes to its effect on your overall mood. Customers describe this strain as delivering an almost giddy high that always leads to a bad case of giggles.
