It’s officially summer and time to let our hair down with some fun new strains! While it’s true that most of us are still working and there’s no longer such thing as a three-month summer vacation, we found the cannabis strains that are sure to make every weekend feels like a tropical getaway. Check out our top 10 weed strains for summer chillin’ and partying alike!
1. Summer Shindig

This hybrid strain will make you feel euphoric and talkative, making it perfect for any social summer gathering. Summer Shindig also has terpene flavors of citrus and tropical fruit, so it’s great to share at the shindig alongside other summer treats.
2. Ice Cream Gelato

Ice Cream Gelato will cool you down on a hot summer day (or night) just like its namesake. It’s said to be super relaxing and even a little bit sedating, so this hybrid is perfect for kicking back and watching the sunset. It also exhibits the same summery flavors as ice cream gelato—nutty, fruity and sweet with the dominant terpene being caryophyllene, which tastes like vanilla cream.
3. Beach Babe

This strain feels and tastes like a tan and a bikini, plain and simple. Beach Babe makes users feel giggly and relaxed, kind of like you would after a couple cocktails on the beach. If you want to bring a tropical vacation to your own backyard, try this hybrid cross between Maui Wowie and Trophy Wife.
4. Watermelon

Nothing hits the spot on a hot summer day like refreshing watermelon. This true indica strain boasts a high THC content and, of course, tastes like watermelon with grape notes. Try Watermelon for an after-work doze on your favorite lawn chair.
5. Summer Breeze

A hybrid strain with tasty tropical notes, Summer Breeze is a breath of fresh air. It will have you feeling euphoric, happy and light as air. Drift along this relaxing warm breeze for creative inspiration, or just a catnap in the sun.
6. Ocean View

Even if you don’t have an ocean view this summer, this strain is perfect for any outdoor activity. Ocean View is an energizing sativa that heightens awareness, allowing you to take in all of your beautiful surroundings. Take this one with you on a hike, on the boat or to the beach and enjoy the earthy aroma and subtle fruity flavors.
7. Heatwave

Like many of us have recently experienced, summer brings on the hot temps. If you need a little relief, Heatwave will bring some relaxation by helping you sleep and easing your restlessness. If you love an earthy, musky flavor profile, Heatwave is for you.
8. Carnival

Ferris wheels and funnel cakes scream summer. That’s why Carnival, a sativa-dominant strain that boosts mood and social energy, is perfect for festive summer nights. Carnival is a very cerebral, bright and buzzy strain that features the aroma and flavors of lemon candy.
9. Island Girl

Another sativa-dominant hybrid, Island Girl has an all-star lineage, including Dosidos and Northern Lights, Sensei Star and more. Because of this, its effects and flavors are multi-layered. You might pick up notes of cookies, flowers and menthol while feeling uplifted, euphoric and aroused—just like the island girl might do.
10. Sunshine Daydream

Pop on your sunglasses to hide your daze, because this strain will have you chillin’ like never before. Sunshine Daydream is an indica-dominant hybrid that provides massive body relaxation, so it pairs perfectly with the warm sun on your skin. Fruit and berry notes only add to the summery vibes of this euphoric strain.
Whether you’re relaxing in the sun or getting spicy after dark, take your summer vibes up a notch with one of these creative strains!
