As Jack Frost nips at our toques and the snow piles up, there’s nothing like the thought of snuggling up indoors with some nice winter cannabis. If you’re anything like us at True North Cannabis Co., you’re dreaming about warm blankets, hot drinks, and perhaps the perfect cannabis strain to coincide with those long winter nights.

We’re all about helping cannabis users discover the ideal bud to suit their Canadian winter hibernation style. Let’s take a look at some mellow strains of cannabis that could become your new bestie this season!

Why Some Strains Might Become Your New Go-To Winter Chill Weed

Before we get into our best recommendations, let’s talk about why different cannabis strains can make such good company on cold nights. It all boils down to cannabinoids, fascinating compounds that interact uniquely with our bodies. These substances can produce various psychotropic effects, which, when used correctly, may help you get through the long winter nights with some relaxation.

For many people looking to mellow out, selecting the right cannabis strain is critical. Some people favour indica-dominant strains for the calming effects, while others prefer sativa strains for a more uplifting experience. Understanding your cannabis strain preference is the first step toward discovering your ideal winter warmer.

Our Top 5 Mellow Weed Strains to Help Beat the Winter Blues

So, what are some of our favourite cannabis for relaxing on nights when all you want is to curl up and forget about the cold? Here are a few possibilities, keeping in mind that THC levels and their effects can vary:

1. Northern Lights: Known for its potential relaxing effects, this classic indica-dominant hybrid is the cannabis version of a toasty Tim Hortons double-double on a frosty morning. 
2. Granddaddy Purple: This indica-dominant combination is known for its intense soothing effects, which can lead to a pleasant couch lock—ideal for cozy winter slumber.
3. Blue Dream: This hybrid strain is known for its balanced effects, offering a gentle, euphoric high that can help ease stress and promote relaxation without causing excessive sedation.
4. GMO Cookies: This strain is often noted for its robust, earthy aroma and potential to induce a deep sense of relaxation. It might help you unwind after a long day.
5. Pink Kush: Known for its sweet, floral aroma, Pink Kush is an indica-dominant strain that may provide a calming and soothing experience, helping you relax and enjoy the quiet of the winter night.

Remember, different strains can have varying effects on different people. Begin with a minimal dose, particularly if trying a new strain. The key is to figure out what works best for you and your body.

Creating a Cozy Corner: Achieve Maximum Relaxation With Mellow Weed Strains

Now that we’ve got your new favourite strains for relaxing sorted, let’s create the ultimate cozy spot to enjoy it. Whether you prefer your cannabis in flower form or other products, setting the right atmosphere can elevate the experience. 

Start by thinking about the lighting in your space. Ditch those harsh overhead lights and opt for something warmer and softer. 

Candles cast a gentle glow. Fairy lights add a whimsical touch. Or, a Himalayan salt lamp can provide a soothing, natural ambiance. It’s like creating an aurora borealis in your living room, transforming your space into a calming oasis.

Next, let’s consider the textures that surround you. Pile on the blankets, cushions, and anything else that feels soft and inviting. We’re talking more plaid than a lumberjack convention! The cozier, the better—you want to feel like you’re wrapped up in a warm hug. 

Curate the sounds in your environment. A playlist featuring your favourite artists can help relieve stress. Or, if music isn’t your thing, try a crackling fireplace soundscape. It’s like being at the cottage, minus the actual work of maintaining a fire.

Stay Safe While Getting Cozy With Winter Cannabis: Some Pointers

While getting toasty with some quality THC can be an enjoyable way to beat the winter blues, safety should come first. Start with a low dose, especially if trying new strains, as some cannabis strains can hit differently. Always keep calm and grounded when experiencing new strains.

Winter air can be drier than a stand-up comedian’s sense of humour, so to maintain maximum comfort, ensure you’re hydrated by drinking plenty of water or herbal tea. If you’re planning a larger session, having a sober buddy around is a good idea. They can keep an eye on things and ensure everyone stays safe. And, of course, no matter the circumstance, never drive under the influence of cannabis.
