The Best Weed Strains for Unleashing Your Creativity

Cannabis is one of the few things that can help enhance one's creative process. In fact, many famous musicians and artists have smoked weed for a spark of inspiration. Some examples include band members from the Grateful Dead and Black Sabbath. In fact, one Chemdawg origin story claims it’s the product of a bunch of random seeds obtained by Gregory Krzanowski after a Grateful Dead concert. As for Black Sabbath, their Sweet Leaf track was basically a love letter to cannabis. And while we're on the topic, you can’t forget Jimi Hendrix, who had a weed strain named after one of his songs.

While smoking the same cannabis strains as these greats won't suddenly place you at the top of Spotify, some of the best cannabis strains help break down the creative barriers that artists typically run into. Obstructions like lack of focus and diversity are no longer a problem if you're smoking the right strain. In particular, sativa dominant strains are famed for their uplifting and energizing effects on the mind. They can sharpen your focus, trigger cerebral blood flow, and amplify your senses to a degree that can help you break the mold and free your creative process.

Chocolope

Chocolope is a top pick for those in need to jump-start some creative thinking. This sativa-dominant hybrid has high THC content that reaches around 17% to 22% and offers an invigorating buzz that leaves you feeling euphoric. Yet despite its strong head high, Chocolope keeps your mind focused and your spirit motivated, key ingredients for pushing past any creative blocks.

But its effects don't end there; its high also provides a potent, uplifting buzz. Fans of Chocolope also describe that outside of its mental uplift, this sativa-hybrid also brings a surge of energy. This matches closely with the signature traits of Haze strains, known for their energizing and creative boosting effects. However, this is no surprise for those with in-depth knowledge of various weed strains, considering that one of Chocolope's parents is Cannalope Haze.

However, Chocolope's effects could also be attributed to its other parent, Chocolate Thai, which has euphoria-inducing and creative-boosting effects. In fact, this landrace is well-known for its combination of chocolate and coffee flavors that complement its noticeably stimulating effects. Whichever the case may be, Chocolope is a must-try for any enthusiast.

And to add to its appeal, Blue Dream also carries one of the more delectable flavors on this list. Its smoke combines the richness of blueberries and other fruits with the sweetness of vanilla. It also has a touch of earthiness that's common in cannabis due to myrcene, which is one of the most abundant compounds found in cannabis besides THC.

As a Sativa-dominant hybrid, Bubblegum should be known for its euphoric and uplifting effects.
