Leafly "Orange Crush" hybrid cannabis strain tile Orange Crush

What are the Best Cannabis Strains for Pain?

 

Leafly "Golden Goat" hybrid cannabis strain tile Golden Goat

“Golden Goat is not to be smoked indoors--at least for Ignatius. When Ignatius smokes Golden Goat, it causes Ignatius to speak in the third person and open all doors and windows. Golden Goat should be smoked, ingested, or vaped outdoors, where there is little made-made interaction. A hiking trail in a narrow canyon is where Ignatius prefers to consume Golden Goat.” –Ignatius

 

Leafly "Critical Mass" indica cannabis strain tile Critical Mass

“Threw a small amount into a clean glass piece, three lungfulls later I knew this was something special. Taking this on a one week backpacking trip for fireside good times.” –DrStrange

 

Leafly "Cookie Wreck" hybrid cannabis strain tile Cookie Wreck

“Went looking for pain relief and freedom in my movement and I've got it! Hello hiking again!” –Nevra79

 

Leafly "Exodus Cheese" hybrid cannabis strain tile Exodus Cheese

“You're hiking up a mountain. Things start to look cooler as you continue to ascend since you can see further than you've ever before…when you finally reach the top, an indescribable, awe-inspiring view smacks you in the face. You sit down to bask in and respect its glory. You look upon the skyline seeing trees and mountains as far as the I can see. You are in this. You aren't seeing this in a picture in a magazine or from a picture uploaded by some dude on Reddit. No, you are really here. You really climbed a mountain, and you are really looking at the beauty that the Earth has to offer. You have done it. You have actually accomplished something. So, you let yourself be drenched with the force of 10 Newton fucktons of euphoric bliss, and it radiates throughout your mind and body. And all you want to do is scream, "I AM A GOLDEN GOD!" at the top of your lungs, but you don't because there are other people around and that would be weird. So, you sit in peace, taking in as much of it as you can because even though you will be up here for a long time, you can't stay this high forever. Or can you...” –i_miss_u_cupcake
