Smokers and non-smokers alike have heard of the overall potentially relaxing effects of cannabis. However, every strain offers nuances of effects and experiences. If you have any confusion when it comes to finding downer weed strains, it can be helpful to take a look at the effects of cannabis as a whole.
The Effects Of Cannabis
In general, weed offering potentially relaxing experiences is the most common knowledge. This is due to the depressant-like properties that the more popular indica-dominant strains exhibit. However, when it comes to its classification, cannabis is more than just a depressant. Cannabis may demonstrate the effects of a depressant, stimulant, and hallucinogen. Each unique genetic combination of weed strains could exhibit more of one classification than another. For downer weed strains, this means more depressant-like effects rather than stimulating. These effects can range from a “body high” where users may experience relaxation throughout the body; to a soothing, mentally calming high that could potentially reduce stress and anxiety.
When comparing sativa and indica plants, you can see the major difference between the stimulating effects of cannabis and the depressant effects of cannabis. Typically, sativa plants are going to offer potentially uplifting, euphoric cerebral highs. While indica strains usually give off that classic “stoney” experience with potentially relaxing body highs and a dulling of the mind.
Downer Weed Strains For Relaxation
Some of the industry’s more popular downer weed strains include Purple Punch and Bubba Kush.
Purple Punch: Purple Punch is an indica-dominant hybrid. The effects of the Purple Punch strain can be described as a “one-two punch” to the head and body. Some use the strain to aid in managing nausea, stress, minor body aches, and sleeplessness.
Bubba Kush: Bubba Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid that has gained legendary status in the industry for its heavy effects and decadent flavor profile. This downer weed strain first gained notoriety in the 90s when an OG Kush was crossed with an unknown strain that people simply referred to as, “Bubba”. Smelling like sweet wood and robust spices, users may experience an ease in muscle tension as a potentially heavy body high starts to take effect.
