Flower Best low-ish THC strains for depression and anxiety

[Bubbles]

I’m new to MC and have so far tried these three strains to treat chronic pain from non-inflammatory arthritis, ME/CFS and depression/anxiety:

Strawberry OG (nighttime)
Moroccan Peaches (daytime)
Miss Kim (daytime)

I’m finding Strawberry OG quite good for sleep that is usually disturbed by pain, but it’s a bit too strong for me, so I can only take it in small doses or I get a racing heart and horrendous tinnitus.

Moroccan Peaches doesn’t seem to touch my pain (although again it’s a bit too strong for me, so I can only manage small doses). It just makes my mood feel incredibly flat – miserable in fact. And tired. Why is this, when it’s a Sativa Hybrid?

I’m trying Miss Kim now. But still it just makes me feel tired and negative and down. Even with the lower THC I just feel too stoned to do anything productive – even if I just vape little and often.

This is not what I was hoping for!

Any other favourite daytime strains people find good for lifting the mood, treating pain, and helping with energy and focus??

High silver seems to be very well received for uplifting daytime usage and is at a reasonable pricepoint. Not tried it myself as most any of the modern Hybrids with a hint of Sativa trigger me, never used to have a problem with Thai sticks or Durban back i the day but these Hybrids on MC are a nightmare for me when it comes to finding a daytime option that I can function on.

I would also suggest High Silver in this instance as it's not particulary high in THC at 21% and has an even lower THC version at 18% and this strain helps me and my wife with various symptoms including anxiety / pain / focus and is milder in effect than the strains you have tried so far and helps many here and may be a better option as it is not as overwhelming but more a gentle in effects with me.

Curaleaf® T21 High Silver

Tasting of spice, skunk, and citrus, Super Silver Haze has a unique flavour profile. Lemon notes are left over after smoking a bowl of flower.

Lower THC
Curaleaf Grapefruit Gift
Curaleaf Royal Moby
Therismos Blue Dream

The latter is one of the Balanced strains with very low THC and a similar level of CBD, balanced ones would be worth a look based on your comments

You can also get the Find brand for some Curaleaf flowers (it's the same company just like a value brand)

So something like High Silver mentioned above can be gotten in an even slightly lower THC version

Miss Kim actually works. Provided it's fresh.

Real lemon haze will have you super duper happy but no MC really has it.

Mango Cheese T9:C15
Mimosa orange punch T18
Tangerine boost T20
these have been my favourite daytime strains

I'm thinking of trying Banjo T24 and Berry Cream Puff T21 on my next script but I will definitely be getting more Mango Cheese

 

[NuggetofGreen]

The mango cheese might be the best one to help with pain and inflammation from arthritis as well as having the lowest THC

I’ve found that strains like Harlequin and Canna-Tsu helped me avoid getting too in my head while still lifting my mood a little. Some days feel heavier than others though, and I’ve called thebefore when it got intense—it’s worth having that number saved just in case.

Mystery Mountain 'The Big Mango' T8 C10
Species - Sativa Hybrid
Lineage - NYC Diesel x Harlequin
This would be my humble recommendation. Peace oot (Canadian accent).

White widow - hopefully I'm getting back to the with my new clinic. Got 20g cellen beta irradiated coming, was always my go to back in the day.
Only amnesia haze come near for me.
None of curaleafs crap worked for me, jack herer is a pretty damn good day strain too but a little racy for some (multiple growers)
