I like to think of myself as somewhat of a wake and bake connoisseur. In fact, I think everybody should strive for such a title. There’s really nothing like good morning weed to really kick your day off on the right note. That’s just the ideal way to live a marijuana lifestyle, in my humble opinion.
Think about it. Is there anything better than smoking weed in the morning? No way! Weed in the morning is better than any breakfast, any cup of coffee, or any other morning element that people tend to rely on to get their day going. Which is why I’ve been an avid wake and baker for nearly two decades now, and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.
Let’s say you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and need a little pick-me-up before heading out the door. Marijuana in the morning can help with that.
Need to conjure up an appetite prior to starting a long work day, but can’t seem to attain the hunger you so desperately need? No worries, a little wake and bake session ought to clear that right up.

And let’s not forget how crucial cannabis in the morning can be for those who like to plan out their tasks for the day. Wake and bake sessions can do all of that, and so much more.
But, as spoiled as we are with the hoards of strains and cannabis products being ever present for us to purchase, consume, and enjoy, it makes the finding of the perfect wake and bake bud a bit more difficult.
Have no fear, though. That’s why we’ve decided to step in, do a bit of research for you on the matter, and what we’ve come up with is a collection of some of the best morning buds that are currently found at a number of Vegas dispensaries.
Below, in absolutely no particular order or ranking, are the best “morning” strains that are tailor-made to enhance any and all wake and bake sessions. And the best part is, they can all be found in Las Vegas.
These Cannabis Strains Are Perfect For A Quality “Wake & Bake”
Fruity Pebbles
What an appropriate way to kick off this list of morning-focused buds. Named after another pre-noon staple, cereal, Fruity Pebbles is easily one of the best wake and bake buds on the market. Available in flower and concentrate form, this one-of-a-kind bud delivers an unbeatable sense of alertness to the consumer, without overwhelming them with cerebrally-centric effects. You will find yourself tackling everything on your “to-do” list long before the afternoon arrives, and you will do so in the most chill, calm, manageable demeanor imaginable.
XJ-13
While the name of this stain sounds rather robotic, it won’t make you frozen like an archaic piece of machinery. Quite the opposite, actually. This bud will invigorate your soul, to the point where you eagerly want to take on the day, and whatever it has in store. The famously minty taste of this bud will remind you of toothpaste, which is just another enjoyable aspect for you senses to take in, as it subtly indicates that the morning is where most stuff gets done. So, fire up this uniquely named strain, and prepare to make that list of chores a thing of the past.
Acapulco Gold
To be quite honest, I had only heard of this legendary strain in classic stoner movies. I had no idea it was a real thing. Discovering the actual version of this mythical bud was akin to the feeling I experienced after smoking Pineapple Express for the first time. It’s a euphoric and uplifting high, that will motivate you to take on whatever comes your way. Also, it’ll come with a serious bout of “munchies,” so be sure to have some of your favorite breakfast (or bunch) treats on deck, because trust me, you’re going to need them!
Mimosa
Speaking of brunch, this bubbly beverage-inspired strain is the perfect accompaniment to a late morning meal with friends. It’s a conversation-starter and mood-booster, so not only will deep discussions occur, but it’ll happen in a pleasant, positive environment. The sweet scent profile of this bud translates over into a delectable tasting smoke that is unlike any other on this list. It’s vibrant, effervescent, and comes equipped with everything you need to start your morning off right.
Casaba Melon
This melon is definitely part of a well-balanced breakfast, that’s for sure. I’d suggest firing up this delightful strain as a post-meal treat, as it will not only settle your newly-filled tummy, but it’ll awaken your mind, helping it focus and mellow out, before getting the day started. The pine scent from this terpene-enriched strain is incredible, and the subtle sweetness of the smooth smoke makes it one of the best buds on the market, regardless of your wake and bake intentions. If you see this one on the menu, don’t even hesitate, grab as much as you can before it’s gone. You’ll be super happy that you did.
Cinex
One of the things I like about a wake and bake strain is how it can mellow out my usually-frantic mind. And this bud, in particular, seems to be tailor-made to do just that. Any lingering stress or worry you may have stowed away in the depths of your subconscious is instantly eliminated in the course of a couple of tokes. Its citrus taste and scent will satisfy your senses, as your mind is gently taken to a place of serene tranquility. And, I don’t know about you, but anything that can rid me of unwanted stress in the morning is amazingly beneficial, in my opinion. Lucky for me, this bud can do that, and so much more. No wonder this is one of the most sought-after strains for wake and bake enthusiasts, like myself. It’s fantastic!
Now, obviously, these should be seen as a solid starting point for those of you looking for a quality wake and bake bud. If your dispensary doesn’t happen to have any of these strains, don’t fret. Simply ask your budtender to find you an adequate replacement, one with a similar terpene profile and THC percentage, and you’ll be good to go.
