Best Strains for Head High and a Truly Cerebral Experience
Some strains will boost your mood and energy, while others will leave you couch-locked all day long. Different strains can provide different highs, which are separated into two main categories – head and body high. In this article, we will cover everything about the head high, as well as the best head high strains on the market.
What’s a Head High and What Strains Provide the Most of It?
Head high strains, or cerebral strains, are those that provide effects associated with mood alterations. Mostly, a head high leads to an uplifted mood and energy, as well as motivation and a creativity boost. Cerebral effects will also increase your aural and visual capacity, making everyday activities more enjoyable. This kind of high is primarily attributed to Sativa strains, which usually contain very high amounts of THC and little to no CBD content.
