10 Fast acting and high energy cannabis strains

The effects of marijuana can vary significantly from one strain to the next, so it is always a good idea to select a type that will provide a positive benefit to your planned activities. Some can be heavy, intense, and sedative, while other cannabis strains can give you a burst of energy, or in the very least, help to keep you going. It’s just a matter of figuring out which marijuana strains will do that for you.

So how can you tell? Well, there is a lot of debate surrounding which types of cannabis are most likely to result in this energizing effect, and many people believe that sativa is the only plant products that can do this. Others think that all marijuana strains will lead to very little getting accomplished, but the truth is that the best way to choose a type that will result in a more uplifting feeling, is to go by what others have reported during their experiences, along with a little bit of self-experimentation.

While we can’t guarantee that any one of these marijuana strains will provide you with the results you are looking for, we can tell you that scientific evidence suggests that micro doses are the most effective way to get this done. Even the most energizing strains can end up sedating a person if it’s consumed in substantial amounts, especially as the effects of marijuana begin to wear off. To avoid this, start small, and slowly work up to a more significant amount of cannabis as you build a tolerance and comfortability with a particular strain. To help get you started, here are ten uplifting and energizing marijuana strains that are perfect for an active lifestyle, followed by a simple cannabis energy drink recipe they would all pair well with.
