The Best New Weed Strains for Summer

LA CONFIDENTIAL

Grade: AA

A classic champion strain that won the coveted ‘Strain of the Year’ back in 2006, LA Confidential is on the cheaper side but provides a wealth of potencies, flavors and effects that make it one of the best bangs for your buds. What’s more perfect for enjoying warm, calm, breezy summer nights than the euphoric couch-lock of this strong indica? LA Confidential is essential for improving your moods and helping you to achieve true summertime happiness as your mind & body relax. LA Confidential tastes piney, silky, sweet and skunky with finishes of earthiness that will put you in that California-state of mind.

KOSHER KUSH

Grade: AA

The Two-Time Champ for Best Indica in Canada is a great way to keep things kosher during your summer fun. Kosher Kush is known for its powerful relaxant effects, mesmerizing aromas and is famous as a sleep aid – perfect for those hot & sweaty summer nights. Expect a strong body high combined with a balance of euphoria, sleepiness, mindful ease and a dose of the munchies. Like many other Kush strains, Kosher Kush is considered one of the best new strains for its bouquet of citrus-herbal inhale and lingering sweet-pine aromas. Frequent Kosher smokers remark on its woody, earthy and musky after-tastes and smells. There’s no summer quite like a Kush-summer, especially when it’s all Kosher bro.

LAUGHING BUDDHA

Grade: AA

You’ve undoubtedly seen those statues and garden monuments of the famous smiling or laughing buddha? Well, keep that image in your mind as you light up this AA Sativa-dominant hybrid and prepare to have some fun. Laughing Buddha earned its name by instilling frolicking fun, giggles, lightheartedness and creativity in anyone who smokes it. A favorite new weed strain for social gatherings, Laughing Buddha also provides a fair amount of relief from anxiety, pain, fatigue or nausea. The flavor & aroma profile for this BUDdha is likened to a spicy pineapple – musky, fruity, refreshing and sweet. Get the most enjoyment out of your summer with this popular strain and keep Laughing with Buddha.

BLUE GELATO

Grade: AAA

Finally a fan-favorite cookies strain! Blue Gelato came onto the scene in recent years as the combination of Blueberry, Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbert – all of those sound like summertime don’t they? Blue Gelato can be pretty intoxicating, but it is very uplifting, energizing and leaves you in a cerebral state of mind that is perfect for stargazing or napping on the beach. As its name suggests, Blue Gelato offers a fruity punch of flavor with the crispness and refreshing aromas that Sherbert or Gelato strains are known for. If you’re ever in a bad mood or have had a tough day, unwind your mind and chill your body with some Triple-A Blue Gelato.

STRAWBERRY COUGH

Grade: AAAA

The familiar summer Haze and juicy, plump ripe Strawberries come together in this Sativa dominant hybrid that is perfect for lounging on hot days. Legends tell that this hybrid came about from a wayward cannabis clone that grew amongst strawberry plants one summer… Seriously, this is one of the best weed strains because it literally was influenced by fields of strawberries. Combining the mindful focus and headiness of Haze strain with the pungent fruity energy and mood-soothing effects of Strawberry Fields strain, Strawberry Cough is an incredible puff-puff-pass for any summer occasion. This Quad-A is one of the best new strains for summer because it smokes really nice too; a lot of seasoned stoners have graded it quite high for its flavorful, clean inhale and smooth burn. Strawberries are meant for sharing, and so is this delicious strain so make some friends this summer with Strawberry Cough.

MIMOSA

Grade: AAA

Its namesake is already a staple drink for many early summer mornings, so naturally Mimosa strain is a perfect starter for any stoner. This cross between Clementine and Purple Punch emits waves of focus, energy and motivation. Mimosa’s full-bodied bouquet of citrus, berries, sourness, earthiness and flowery aromas are as refreshing as the drink (but without any of the midday hangovers). Mimosa is a favorite for people who like to wake-and-bake to fix their mood or right their mindset for a busy day ahead. Anyone who struggles with insomnia and therefore deals with morning headaches might want to combine this strain with their morning coffee. Start your day with Mimosa, because you deserve it.

GHOST TRAIN HAZE

Grade: AA

Although it has a name more suited to the month of October, Ghost Train Haze is a summer strain you don’t want to miss. This Sativa blend of Ghost OG & Neville’s Wreck is a great ride for those looking to smoke their brain into the future. These buds are known to be quite potent in effects as well as tastes and smells. Piney, sweet, citrus floral notes permeate the air around you as the Ghost Train takes you aboard its journey. Expect to feel uplifted, humorous, yet relaxed and centered as the Haze holds you in its embrace for hours on end. This strain is a great value for its notable potency, so only buy a ticket for this ride if you’re ready for an epic summer train-trip.

RASPBERRY HASHPLANT

Grade: AAAA+

Looking for a wholloping, wheezy experience that will sink you to the bottom of the lake while keeping you warm & fuzzy like dinner on the patio?

A lot of stoners reach for this high-quality strain for their midday summer naps or to help them zonk after a busy day of fun in the sun.
