As you may already know, there are a lot of benefits to smoking marijuana. Marijuana can help with depression, seizures, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis, sleep, bowel diseases, arthritis, and obesity, just to name a few. But did you know there are also low paranoia weed strains you can utilize? These strains can help in other, more subtle ways.

Because even with all the benefits that come with marijuana, there are a few drawbacks. One of the biggest drawbacks to smoking marijuana is that it can sometimes make you paranoid.

Typically, certain people are more vulnerable to symptoms of paranoia, while others never experience it at all. So, if you’ve smoked marijuana a good number of times without experiencing paranoia, chances are, you won’t ever become paranoid from smoking.

However, for those who are naturally more susceptible to paranoia, there’s still good news. There are low paranoia weed strains that you can smoke.

With these low paranoia weed strains, you can experience all the benefits that marijuana provides, just without the paranoid thoughts.

What Do We Mean by Paranoid?

First things first, what exactly do we mean when we say paranoid?

In this context, paranoid means that you develop an excess and unfounded fear that other people are trying to harm you or judge you, or harm and judge another individual.

While scientists aren’t exactly sure what causes some people to become more paranoid than others, it’s generally agreed that people who suffer from anxiety are more susceptible to paranoia.

Many marijuana users also note that their level of paranoia can be situational. For example, some users claim to develop more intense feelings of paranoia when they’re in a bad mood or in an unfamiliar place.

While paranoia can certainly be scary, the important thing to keep in mind is that with the right marijuana strains, you can pretty much avoid it altogether.

So, what are the best low paranoia strains of marijuana?

In general, you’ll want to smoke strains that contain higher levels of CBD. CBD has shown to both counter anxiety and ease the symptoms of paranoia that some experience from THC.

For those who don’t know, CBD is just one of the many compounds that make up cannabis. CBD and THC (another compound) are the most dominate in cannabis plants.

The key difference between THC and CBD is that THC contains psychoactive properties, whereas CBD does not. This is why THC tends to be more highly regulated than CBD.

Also, THC can either come from the Indica family of cannabis plants or the Sativa family. The following guide can tell you more about the different THC strains and what each one is good for:

Harlequin

Harlequin, or Harlequin OG, was the first cannabis strain introduced in the US that has an extremely high CBD to THC ratio. The ratio in Harlequin is 5:2.

The average level of THC in this strand ranges from 4 to 10 percent, whereas the average level of CBD in the strand ranges from 8 to 33 percent. This large difference makes it a great strain for those who want to use marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Harlequin OG is also known for the following:

Relieving pain and anxiety
Offering a contemplative head high
Leaving users active and focused
Offering intense pain relief
Serving as a great wake and bake strand
Amplifying the painkilling effects of THC as it counters anxiety

In terms of taste and smell, users describe Harlequin as having the taste of pine and the smell of an earthy pineapple. Harlequin comes in dense nugs that are shaped like spades, and it’s yellow-green in color. It also has light tints of amber and gold.

Tangerine Power

For those looking for a strain that gives you a quick jolt of energy but still keeps the mind calm, Tangerine Power is your answer.

In fact, some users feel like the strain even helps them slow down a bit mentally. While the combination of energy and calmness can feel confusing at first, you’ll soon realize that Tangerine Power is perfect for helping you get through simple-minded tasks, like chores and exercise.

Medical benefits of Tangerine Power include:

Pain relief
Relief of glaucoma symptoms
Headache relief
Help with eating disorders
Stress relief
Relief from mental anguish

Ringo’s Gift

Ringo’s Gift is a cross between two other strains- ACDC and Harle-Tsu. And, contrary to popular belief, it’s not named after the famous Beatles member, Ringo Starr.

The strain is actually named after a cannabis activist, Lawrence Ringo. The great thing about Ringo’s Gift is that it comes in a wide range of ratios. This means you can play with the CBD: THC ratio until you find the one that works for you without causing anxiety.

If you want to experience a full-body relaxation without feeling like you’re going to melt into the couch, then this is the strain for you.

Mango Kush

If you’re going for that stupid, happy bliss, then Mango Kush is a great strain to try.

Its effects are almost immediate, which is why you should have a number of tasks laid out in front of you that you can put your energy into.

Also, while the comedown is pretty light, it’s important to keep in mind that it does get more intense with the more you consume.

Cannatonic

Cannatonic is a strain that was specially bred with the patient in mind. This makes it a great strain for those who want t use marijuana for medicinal purposes.

The breeders of this strain purposefully kept the content of CBD high and the content of THC low. Because of this, Cannatonic has become one of the most respected cannabis strains in the medical community.

With this strain, you’ll feel well-balanced and minimally high. Yet, you’ll still experience intense pain relief.
