The Best Cannabis Strains in MA to Try Right Now 

Weed strains are varieties of cannabis plants cultivated to deliver specific effects and flavors. Breeders and growers achieve this by optimizing the plant’s genetics and environment to balance THC levels with minor cannabinoids, aromatic terpenes, and other natural properties.  

Strains are broadly grouped into three categories: Sativa for energizing and euphoric effects, Indica for relaxing and sedating, and Hybrids, which are a combination of the two previous strains.

What Strains Are Trending in Massachusetts Right Now?

There are several classic strains, but innovative growers and scientists are continually developing new strains and combinations. Some of the strains that cannabis enthusiasts are enjoying in Massachusetts right now include the following:

• Wedding Cake is known for its relaxing and euphoric effects delivered with a very strong yet sweet and tangy flavor.
• Sour Diesel is great for a cerebral high as it helps with focus and energy.

How Do I Know Which Strain Is Right for Me?

When selecting a strain, ask yourself what effects you’re looking for and what kind of experience you want to have.

In addition to noting if the strain is sativa, indica, or a hybrid of the two, look at the terpene and flavor profile. You’ll also want to consider the intensity and length of the high, which is usually influenced by the THC percentage.

Especially if you’re a cannabis novice, all the different strains and products can seem a bit overwhelming. Don’t hesitate to have a conversation with a budtender at a licensed dispensary. If you give them your experience wish list, they would be happy to guide you to an ideal strain.

Are Some Strains Harder to Find than Others?

Of course, dispensaries want to please their customers by carrying a large variety of strains. But cannabis plants are subject to many of the same limitations as other crops:

• Cultivation techniques and demands, such as crop rotation
• Seasonal availability
• Genetic stabilization
• Market demand

If your favorite strain is not available for any reason, be sure to ask what strain will provide similar effects with a favorable experience.
