While I’m sure this already goes without saying, I love cannabis. 


I’m confident that you do, too, or else you probably wouldn’t be reading this right now. And, really, when you think about it, what’s not to love?

Personally, I like to consider myself a fairly creative person. I thoroughly enjoy taking on artistic endeavors of any sort. There’s a lot of pleasure and satisfaction from these little activities, but sadly, there are times wherein I lack the adequate level of motivation and/or inspiration, to really give these projects an honest effort. 

That’s where sativas come into play.

After firing up a potent sativa, my once vacant headspace is now filled with an army of new ideas and innovations. In addition to that welcomed onslaught of creativity, my mood is energized and uplifted, leaving me smiling throughout the entire process. I simply can’t get enough of these strains, to be quite honest.

However, there are times when it’s late at night, and I have work early the next day, but for one reason or another, my frantic mind refuses to let me fall asleep. Random worries set-up shop in the forefront of my thoughts, leaving my body increasingly tense and stress in its wake. If only I could quiet those senseless thoughts, while finding some much-needed sleep.


Enter: Indicas.

These snooze-inducing buds are tailor-made for just such a scenario. These (often tasty) strains will physically alleviate stress and tension almost immediately. In turn, those once scattered thoughts and anxieties will all but come to a silent hush, allowing your mind and body, to ready itself for a long, relaxing night’s sleep.

As much as I love those two individual strains for different reasons, there’s one section of flower that I prefer over both of those iconic cannabis categories. Of course, I’m talking about the famously-balanced powers of a top-notch hybrid.

These strains provide an equilibrium of effects that are undeniably enjoyable in every sense of the word. However, just because a strain isn’t designated as an official hybrid, that doesn’t mean it can’t offer up a solid 60/40 (or 70/30) split of indica and sativa effects. 

The genetics of cannabis is incredibly complex, with each batch and interpretation varying in a number of different aspects. In other words, the locating of a balanced sativa or indica isn’t impossible, but it could be a bit tricky. You just need to know what you’re looking for. Which is exactly where this list can come in handy.

Now, in absolutely no particular order, here is a list of the best strains that are known, far and wide, for delivering a truly balanced series of physical and mental effects:

1. Cherry AK-47
Deliciously lethal, but I mean that in the best way possible. This delightful bud kicks things off with a solid head high, but that, my friends, is only the beginning. After that heady series of effects fades out, it seems to leave your body in a super sedated state of absolute, overall relief. This bud is usually preferred because of its tempered series of sedative effects. Nothing happens all at once, everything has its place (and time), which is what makes this strain one of the best in the game – hands down.

2. Headband
What can I say about this uber-popular strain that hasn’t already been said by every single cannabis enthusiast, lucky enough to partake in the brilliance of this one-of-a-kind bud? Smoking this strain is akin to getting your head massaged, from the inside and out. A cerebral heaviness comes over you, and all of that pointless anxiety that was once lingering in your subconscious vanishes. Then, in its place, comes a swarm of new, creative ideas and inspirations.

3. Golden Lemon
If you like eating Lemonheads and being in a good mood, then this is the bud for you. This vibrantly titled strain lives up to its name in both scent and flavor, which serves as a nice precursor to its unbeatable series of euphoric and uplifting effects. Let your body mellow out, as your mind (and mood) are boosted to new heights. Who knew citrus could be so potent?

4. Alien OG
This expertly cultivated bud is famous for its combination of top-notch terpenes. To be specific, this strain possesses a healthy amount of caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. This strain will place your mind in a super-hazy, but manaegale space, while it soothes any and all tension that you may be harboring in your body. If you have plans, cancel them. This bud will make any couch a safe haven that you won’t want to leave. “Couch Lock” and sleepiness are almost inevitable with this bud, that’s for sure.

5. Chemdog (or Chemdawg)
However you spell it, this bud is D-A-N-K! This hi-octane strain packs a serious punch, and it’s immediate potency, along with its gasoline-inspired flavor (and scent), demand your respect. Within just a couple tokes, your brain will feel open to brand new avenues of thought. Seconds later, you will start to feel a therapeutic heaviness befall your physical being, but in the most comforting, relaxing way imaginable. You can’t help but zone out in delight with this phenomenal bud. No wonder it’s always on people’s “Top 10” lists every single year.

6. Double Dream
This strain may be the end-all, be-all epitome of what it means to be a truly “balanced” bud. Each element of this strain’s effects, both mental and physical, are damn near the exact same in strength. And speaking of strength, these don’t overwhelm the senses. They simply state their presence, therapeutically help the consumer calm their potentially worrisome mind, along with removing any and all tension from their possibly weary muscles, without any negative side effects. This is a perfect strain for anybody dealing with chronic pain on a daily basis. It will alleviate that discomfort, without sedating you into an insurmountable state of slumber.

Well, there you have it folks.

That’s a solid collection of some of the best, most balanced buds on the market today.

Now, to be fair, this is just a miniscule fraction of the amount of equally-amazing strains filling up the shelves at dispensaries these days. But, if you recognize and buy one of these popular buds, and it works well for you, then you can simply look for similar strains that share their terpene and THC profiles. That should lead you to some equally-balanced strains that you may have otherwise never heard of in the first place.
