Top 7 Zambeza Strains For Euphoria

Cannabis makes people happy. The archetypical stoner is depicted with red eyes, snacks in hand, and a massive smile across their face. Smoking weed leads to increased levels of dopamine in the synapses, a neurotransmitter associated with good mood, pleasure, and reward. Every strain that contains substantial levels of THC creates this effect to varying degrees. The cannabinoid binds to CB1 receptors and initiates a chemical cascade that results in dopamine release. It’s rare for cannabis to cause an immediate reduction in mood. That is assuming, of course, that you understand the basics of dosage and your own tolerance.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS

As well as being the title of a hit stoner comedy flick, Pineapple Express is the name given to the indica-dominant progeny of strains Pineapple and Lemon Kush. This breeding project was destined to produce an offspring that ramps up mood and prompts dopamine neurons to fire. Both Pineapple and Lemon Kush are delicious hybrids famed for their uplifting and energetic effects. Pineapple Express toes the family line with accuracy and provides a stoning, laid-back body high. A THC level of 19% ensures a pronounced effect that just falls short of being overwhelming.

If you’re planning on growing this zesty cultivar, you’ll be pleased to know she has a relatively brief flowering time of 55 days. She’s a good candidate for small indoor growing operations, where she can be kept at 100cm using pruning and low stress training. Expect a harvest of between 500–550g/m². If you have the luxury of a garden, plants will flourish to 170cm and produce a harvest of 450–550g/plant.

NYC DIESEL

Winter blues got you feeling low year after year? Work stress killing your vibe? Then take a walk into the woods and bring a joint of NYC Diesel along with you. This sativa-dominant lady instantly elevates the mood and opens the heart. This clear-headed high is perfect for a solo hike to shed anxiety and consider the bigger picture. NYC Diesel swiftly tames rumination and makes you realise that most of your worries are scarier in your head than they are in real life.

NYC Diesel is a combination of Diesel, Hawaiian, Shiva, and Northern Lights genetics. She produces thick and tall buds that bear a THC content of 19%, enough to hit that sweet spot between being fired up and too high to step out the door. Plants display a tall sativa growth pattern and feature a flowering time of 65 days. Specimens confined to grow rooms provide a yield of up to 500g/m² and peak at a height of 150cm. Outdoor plants raised in beds or containers soar to 190cm and produce a maximum yield of 650g/plant.

LEMON KUSH

Lemon Kush boasts all the features it takes to enhance mood: an indica-dominant high, refreshing fruity taste, and stellar genetics. This strain is a comfort blanket in the metaphorical and literal sense. It’s a remedy for low mood and depression, both of which it blasts with shining rays of euphoria. Its physical high, on the other hand, makes the body feel as though it’s been wrapped in a warm, weighted blanket. These pleasant effects are augmented by a spicy and citrusy flavour that invigorates the mind.

The soothing high and complex tastes of Lemon Kush are derived from parent strains Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Pakistani Kush. Although indica-dominant, she typically exhibits a more sativa-like growth pattern. Indoor plants can reach 130cm before the end of the grow cycle, yielding around 450–500g/m². Outdoor plants soar to a height of 230cm and produce bounties of 550g/plant.

GREEN AK XL

Green AK XL is a strain of international origins. Her euphoric effects stem from a lineage of landrace specimens from Afghanistan, Colombia, Mexico, and Thailand. Taking a hit of these flowers will send the weight tumbling off your shoulders and make it hard to resist smiling. A THC content of 19% activates CB1 receptors to phenomenal effect, bathing the brain in a feeling of wonderment. Strong notes of spice, fruit, and pine make Green AK XL a fine addition to edibles.

Green AK XL grows well indoors and outdoors, but thrives in the comfort of a grow room. Here, she maintains a short height of around 110cm and produces up to 750g/m². Outdoors, this strain grows to a greater height of up to 180cm and yields up to 650g/plant.

WHITE WIDOW XL

White Widow XL combines legendary genetics with rewarding yields. The original White Widow is a firm cannabis classic, earning multiple awards for her great taste and euphoric high. She was selectively bred with the strain ICE to increase her productivity and maximise resin content. The result is an uplifting indica-dominant hybrid that soothes the body and creates a surge in appetite. She’s the strain of choice for the evenings. A few tokes is enough to set you up for some undisturbed and restorative sleep.

White Widow XL is a different animal depending on where she’s grown. Indoor plants only reach 60–90cm, but produce an impressive yield of 600g/m². But it’s outdoors where this strain reaches her full potential. She soars to a height of 200cm and produces a mammoth harvest of up to 600g/plant.

SKUNK

Skunk is another timeless classic whose name has seeped into every corner of the cannabis world. This invigorating sativa-dominant variety is the culmination of Afghan, Mexican, and Colombian landraces. Growers have utilised her stable genetics and desirable traits for decades to breed other world-renowned strains into existence. Despite a seemingly average THC content of 17%, her effects are still very apparent, producing a euphoric and sociable high.

The genetic stability of this strain means she can handle varying conditions, and phenotypes emerge with a high level of uniformity. Plants grown indoors easily pump out 600g/m² and top out at 110cm. Those cultivated outdoors grow to a taller height of 200cm and yield up to 650g/plant.

AMNESIA HAZE XL

There’s no denying that Amnesia Haze XL plunges users into a happy state of mind. High levels of THC blast open the floodgates to an ecstatic state of being. All the while, good levels of CBD prevent the high from becoming too overwhelming. It doesn’t matter if it’s raining, cold, and miserable, Amnesia Haze XL will put you in a good mood that’s bulletproof.

This beast is the product of Amnesia, Super Skunk, and Super Silver Haze. She’s reliable and performs exceptionally well in pretty much any environment. Indoors, she reaches a height of 130cm and yields up to 600g/m². Outdoors, plants can reach 200cm, but are capable of churning out a heavy haul of 700g/plant.
