The Best Cannabis To Help Beat A Hangover
The alcohol-induced misery that comes after a night of drinking leaves many swearing off alcohol (if only temporarily).
The un-pleasantries of a hangover can be curbed with cannabis. It is said that there’s no proven cure for a hangover, but there are indeed ways to make it more…tolerable.
The strains are known to counter symptoms also associated with hangovers. Here’s a list of the top five:
Purple Haze: This high potency strain, which averages at about 20 percent THC, promotes relaxation and pain management. Headache? Look no further.
Trainwreck: This sativa-dominant strain is also known for high potency. It delivers a high THC punch, and a whole-body high. It’s great for a day of recovery, and will certainly help users sleep away a hangover.
Sour OG: This strain is typically packed with CBD, one of the many therapeutic chemical compounds in cannabis. For this reason, Sour OG is known for its medicinal values. Headache? Nausea? Look no further.
Northern Lights: This popular strain is known for its diverse medicinal properties, good for from pain to depression and anxiety. It even boosts energy. It’s the ideal strain for hangovers, if you can get your hands on it!
Jack Herer: This is one of the most popular strains among medical patients. It’s sativa dominant, which means it will give users a boost of energy rather than lethargy. Its benefits are diverse and include curbing nausea and headaches.
The bad news: there’s no avoiding hangovers if you’ve overindulged. But, the good news is cannabis can help you through. So, keep some of these strains — or your favorites — nearby after a night out to aid the recovery process.
Note: It’s important to keep in mind that cannabis affects everyone differently. It’s worth noting that strain names aren’t always the same, but potency and THC or CBD value will help guide users as to what works best for them.
