I haven't been feeling that great lately, some personal issues made me feel anxious, mildly depressed and I often find it hard to stop worrying and fall asleep. So many times I would be in my bed, ready to take a trip to dreamland, but my mind didn't agree... I found Chocolope to be a perfect strain for these moments. This strain is very uplifting and happy. Not the bouncy kind of happiness, but more in a relaxed and comforting way. It didn't make me sleepy, but I was able to put things in another perspective: feel like what I do with my life is enough, and let go of negative thoughts, embrace the peace of that moment. So I would absolutely recommend trying this strain for people who find themselves struggling with depression and/or anxiety. I think this strain is great to make yourself comfortable with at home, a hot chocolate on the side and extra comfy socks. Or use it for a carefree cuddle session with your partner(s) and/or pet(s), or when listening to some ambient music...maybe meditating? Also, I found the side effects pretty minimal with this strain. Usually I am someone who has red eyes and cotton mouth immediately, but not so much with this one.

"Smoking weed makes you lazy." I don't like this sentence because it's stereotypical and, when you pick a strain that suits you/the moment, just not true. But when I smoked this strain, I felt like it was true for once... My mistake, I had expected this strain to be somewhat more uplifting. Instead, I found myself relaxed, but unproductive and actually not really giving a shit. That was not my intention so let's say I had to work twice as hard the next day. I used the rest of my bud during evening hours while scrolling through memes and gaming casually. It's a fine strain for that, to relax, watch a film and just not give a shit about that task you actually should be doing. Procrastination-friendly so to speak ;-) However, this is not really my kind of strain, I prefer more 'happy' sativas. This strain wasn't as uplifting/mood enhancing as advertised, it just made me care less. The experience was okay though and it has a light, smooth flavour.

I grew this strain myself, which was very easy even for a beginner like me. Plants started out green and then turned to a deep red/purple when in bloom, which doesn't only look nice but is also a great cover because people don't expect cannabis to be purple ;-) Plants grew a solid stem, little foliage around the buds so very easy to harvest. It gives me a mellow, but clear high. I just feel 'chill' yet I'm able to focus on a task. It makes me a bit more introvert and dreamy, not the most social strain I ever tried. I would recommend this for daytime use, outdoor activities, or a night on the couch watching series. Why only 3 stars? It's the taste and smell. The buds are like little bunches of grapes, the colour as well as the sweet smell. However, the taste reminds me more of vinegar. Earthy, a hint of musk, heavy sweet tones. But not the 'sweet' as in candy-sweet, it's more of a spicy sweet. It's very typical and I think it's a taste you have to like. And even though I really like the high, I won't grow this plant again.

My absolute #1 strain! My friend Casey gives me the most brilliant ideas, the best laughs, the cosiest feelings and nobody turns me on like he does ;) I love it for lazy afternoons, multiplayer gaming, when going into nature or for a night in with my partner. It's by far the happiest strain I've experienced so far, I would say that Casey is a far cousin of Molly, if you know what I mean.

Good strain for daytime activities or when you need to be able to focus. Mild, clear high. Nice fruity smell and taste. I normally use cannabis for anxiety, to be able to handle pressure and impressions better, to be able to 'let things go' (Asperger's). This is not the best strain for that, because it tends to keep you sharp and focused. For me, the difference between Lemon Haze and Super Lemon Haze is the focus. Where the LH has a clear, social high for me, the SLH is more about clear thinking and focus. For social situations I would pick LH.

One of my favourites, because of the mellow though not completely couchlocking effect. Perfect for a relaxed night in with some casual gaming (if you're a gamer: I would recommend anything from the Shelter series, Karma. Incarnation 1 or Zenge puzzle with this strain), or when attending a social event. This strain usually doesn't give me the munchies. Taste is a plus, it actually smells like berries and has a sweet vape.

This is one of my favourite strains for daytime use. When I use a little, I keep focused and energetic enough to live my everyday life. It slightly brightens my mood and keeps me from worrying too much. Using a little more brings out the complex, creative thoughts and makes me more talkative and less anxious, which is ideal for social settings. I also use this strain in the evening when I get together with my boyfriend. It makes me extra cuddly and cosy, and also adds a little 'zest' to my lovelife ;-) by making me more sensitive. Negatives/points of attention: In high doses I find it hard to keep concentrated and I can get a little socially anxious/uneasy/insecure. I also think this is not the best nighttime strain because of it's creative effects, you will be more likely to find yourself painting at 3 AM than sleeping.
