Does weed make you happy?

Marijuana has been used by millions of people globally to uplift their moods, cause uncontrollable laughter, or simply provide a feeling of peacefulness after a long hard day.

It’s not magic though. There is a wonderful biological process occurring. When you ingest marijuana, its active ingredients (cannabinoids such as THC and CBD) mimic the substances produced by your own body that produce feelings of being “happy”, providing a temporary way to reprogram your state-of-mind to be more positive.

We think that your marijuana journey should be full of joy and excitement. Our premium happy cannabis strains are all handpicked to take the stresses of everyday living off of your shoulders and put a smile on your face again.

The biology behind a smile: why does weed make you happy?

Humans have an incredible network referred to as the endocannabinoid system within the brain that controls how well you remember events, how you react to stress, and your overall mood.

Incredible things occur when you add cannabinoids to this system:

• Dopamine release: THC stimulates the brain’s reward area causing a release of dopamine (“the pleasure chemical”) instantly reversing a negative outlook.
• Stress relief: Cannabis reduces levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), quieting those inner voices and negative thoughts that keep you from enjoying your life.
• Bliss molecule: certain cannabinoids inhibit the breakdown of anandamide (a natural compound found in your body named for the Sanskrit word for “bliss”).

Find your smile: what strain of weed makes you happy

Since every person has a different chemistry in their bodies, the reaction will differ. If you’re unsure about what type of marijuana will make you happy, try using either one of the brighter and more energetic sativa strains or smoother indica hybrid strains. Additionally, look for new novelty varieties that may give you a fun and different elevated feeling like happy goat weed.

To make this decision simpler, below is an ultimate guide listing some of the most chill happy strains of weed to aid you in finding your euphoric self:
