If you want a little more kick with the risk of anxiety, Hypha grows a killer batch of Princess Peach, a sativa-leaning hybrid that packs a punch.These are the strains I keep coming back to when I want to feel inspired, sharper, and more engaged, without the haze or anxiety. I’m always testing new cultivars, but these 12 have earned a spot in my regular rotation. If you’re into live rosin, a flavorful and solventless concentrate, I recommend Mandarin Zkittlez by Information Entropy, Blueberry Haze by 710 Labs, Space Guava by Eastside Alchemy, Lemon Stank, Roasted Lemons, Strawberry Candy, and the Juice Man by Wojo Co. Not every strain works the same for everyone, but these are a good place to start if you’re looking to stay active without feeling disoriented. All of them deliver a functional kind of lift. And if you’re wondering what my choice for pickleball is, it’s Carbon Fiber or Gelonade. They keep me focused and dialed in. My reactions are sharper, my movements more fluid. It’s about being present and feeling connected to your body. The noise in my head quiets down, and I can lock in on the game. Not every strain can get you there. But when you find the right ones, you’ll be hard to stop. If you want us to sample your cannabis products, send us an email at steve@metrointhed.com.
