What Strain Makes You Super High? Find Your Perfect Match

Short answer

The strain that makes you super high depends on the type of high you want: for a cerebral, energetic buzz, try potent sativas like Durban Poison; for a heavy, full-body couch-lock, go with strong indicas like Godfather OG. High-THC strains (25%+) generally deliver the most intense effects.

Head High vs. Body High: Which One Do You Want?

The first step to finding a strain that makes you super high is knowing the difference between a head high and a body high. A head high is cerebral—it hits your mind, sparking creativity, euphoria, and talkativeness. A body high is physical—it relaxes your muscles, eases tension, and can lead to couch-lock.

Type of HighWhere You Feel ItCommon EffectsTypical Strains
Head high (cerebral)Mind, thoughts, sensesEuphoria, focus, creativity, energy, gigglesSativas like Durban Poison, Super Lemon Haze
Body high (physical)Muscles, limbs, whole bodyRelaxation, pain relief, sedation, couch-lockIndicas like Godfather OG, OG Kush
Balanced highBoth mind and bodyMild euphoria with physical relaxationHybrids like Alien Mints, Mother's Milk

Sativa strains are typically associated with a head high, while indica strains are known for full-body sedation. Hybrids blend both, giving you the best of both worlds. If you want a super high that lifts your mood, go sativa; if you want to melt into the couch, go indica.

What Strain Makes You Super High? Top Picks for an Intense Experience

When you want to get super high, you need strains with high THC levels and potent effects. These strains are known for delivering an intense, memorable high that hits hard and lasts.

How to Choose a Strain That Gets You Super High

A good fit if…

  • You want a specific effect—pick a sativa for energy, an indica for relaxation, or a hybrid for balance.
  • You have a high tolerance—choose strains with THC above 25% or concentrates for a stronger punch.
  • You know your preferred high—head high, body high, or both.

Consider another option if…

  • You're new to cannabis—start with a moderate THC strain (15–20%) to avoid over-intoxication.
  • You're prone to anxiety—high-THC strains can increase paranoia; opt for balanced hybrids or CBD-rich options.
  • You need to stay productive—skip heavy indicas that cause couch-lock.

How to decide: Ask yourself what kind of high you want. If you're still unsure, talk to our budtenders at our Hayward dispensary—they'll guide you based on your experience and desired effects.

Strains That Give a Tingly Body High

Some strains produce a distinct tingly sensation, like a fizzy buzz spreading through your body. This is often due to specific terpenes like caryophyllene or limonene, combined with a balanced THC profile.

A good fit if…

  • You want physical relaxation—strains like Alien Mints deliver a tingly body high that relieves tension.
  • You enjoy a full-body buzz—indica-leaning hybrids are perfect for this.
  • You're looking for pain relief—the tingle often accompanies muscle relaxation.

Consider another option if…

  • You prefer a mental high—sativas give you a head high without the body tingle.
  • You're sensitive to sedation—some tingly strains can lead to couch-lock.

Try strains like Alien Mints (THC 24–29%) or Mother's Milk (hybrid, THC 24–29%) for a noticeable tingle. Ask your budtender for options that match your desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions

How do sativa strains make you feel?

Sativa strains typically produce a cerebral, energizing high that boosts creativity, focus, and sociability. They're great for daytime use if you want to stay active and alert.

Does indica make you higher?

Indica strains often produce a more sedating, body-heavy high that can feel more intense physically. They're ideal for relaxation and sleep, but the 'higher' feeling depends on the strain's THC content and your tolerance.

Which strain gives the best high?

The best high is subjective—it depends on whether you want a head high, body high, or both. For a euphoric head high, try sativas like Durban Poison; for a heavy body high, indicas like Godfather OG are top choices.

What gets you high the longest?

Edibles typically last longer (4–8 hours) than smoking or vaping, but for flower, strains with higher THC and certain terpenes like myrcene may extend the duration. Your metabolism and tolerance also play a role.
