Numerous articles and studies are coming out to help push society’s perspective of cannabis in the right direction. Some of the latest and most beneficial studies say that cannabis can help treat depression. There are several strains known for their energetic, euphoric, stimulating, and uplifting effects that can help combat depression.

We’re not saying this is the cure for all, but it will definitely help declutter your mind and help you live happily in the moment. Here’s a list of our top five strains for fighting depression.

A tongue twister, and a mind twister too; Super Silver Sour Diesel was born from its influential parents Super Silver Haze and Sour Diesel. A Sativa-dominant hybrid, this strain offers a powerful high that will satisfy any veteran smoker, so for newbies, proceed with caution. Super Silver Sour Diesel is loaded with 22% THC to stimulate the mind and boost the mood. Perfect for a wake and bake or simply getting out of the dumps.

The name is self-explanatory; this kick-ass strain is a pure Sativa and was created through Mexican, Columbia, and Thai genetics. It packs 20% THC, high for the newcomers but comfortable for the connoisseurs, so use it wisely. The buzzy and robust high is perfect for fighting day-to-day stress and will leave you feeling lust for life. This is a quality strain for outdoor use; it has a way of reconnecting you with nature while leaving you craving an adventure.

When we’re talking quality and beneficial strains, we’re talking Jamaican Dream. The uplifting and exciting high has won multiple awards, most notably first place at the Slovakia Cannabis Cup in 2011. The strain is at a potent 21% THC and produces a cerebral Sativa buzz but isn’t 100% pure. In terms of benefits, it’s the perfect mood booster. Users often report feeling spiritually lifted and motivated to get their tasks done.

Yes, the big green powerful Hulk. This monster of a strain is incredibly intimidating, and we even advise seasoned stoners to use it carefully. It’s said that the strain was created solely for pure psychoactive power. This beast of a strain will most definitely combat depression, especially since it can carry as much as 30% THC; it’s safe to say that you will feel alert, aware, and excited. So get ready for a Hulk-smash when indulging in some Bruce Banner.

Much like the 1888 London serial killer, the Jack The Ripper strain is complex, strong, and a little scary. Its vast lineage includes potent strains like Northern Lights, Romulan, Purple Haze, Jamaican Lambsbread, Pluton, and Cinderella 99, so it can be a little too much for novice stoners. The strain is 70% Sativa and is only 17% THC; still high for beginners but an incredibly comfortable and satisfying high for regulars. Jack will attack your depression with a euphoric wave of happiness that’s matched with a delightful fruity flavor.
