Want to Stay Productive throughout the Day? Try These Strains

When it comes to marijuana and productivity, there is a huge selection of strains to choose from. While certain strains can produce the effects of mellowness and provide a “chilled-out” feeling, other strains promote increased energy levels and focus.

In this article, you’ll learn the best daytime strains for productivity and how they can benefit your daily life and routine.

The best strains for productivity

As previously mentioned, consuming certain cannabis strains can positively affect productivity. One research study shows that there’s a strong link between certain strains and divergent thinking, which allows your mind to problem-solve in more creative ways.

Not all cannabis strains are the same, so consuming strains that benefit your daytime activities is essential. For example, if you’re working a full-time job, smoking a strain that increases your motivation will benefit you more than making you sleepy on the job.

If you’re wondering what strain is best for work and focus or what strain is best for motivation, then we’ve put together a guide for which strains are best for productivity. We know that not everyone grows feminized seeds, so we even added the best autoflowering strains for productivity too.

What makes a strain good for productivity?

One of the most amazing aspects of marijuana strains is their different effects. Some can help you sleep and feel more relaxed, while others give you more energy and embody your creativity. 

The first thing to look for in a good strain for productivity is the THC content; if a strain is too high in THC, you’ll feel too buzzed and unable to be productive throughout the day. 

Research shows that THC can increase serotonin and dopamine levels within the brain's areas responsible for pleasure, reward, memory, and achievement. That means increased THC dopamine levels can help make you feel more productive, focused, and energetic.

Is sativa or indica better for the daytime?

Another important factor when choosing a strain to boost productivity is if the strain is indica or sativa dominant. If a strain is indica dominant, it can leave you feeling too relaxed, sleepy, and generally less productive during the day. That’s definitely not what you want if you have a lot of work or are trying to stay alert and awake.

Sativa strains are energizing and are best suited to consumption throughout the day. Another reason why sativa strains are more suited to the day is that they are more likely to make you feel happy, social, and upbeat.
