Healing Cannabis and Meditation have gone hand in hand since ancient times

Both meditation and yoga are known to help greatly against feelings of anxiety, stress or even depression - so if you are a patient struggling with these mental ailments, read on to find out which cannabis varieties may help you best in achieving quality meditation.

Cannabis and meditation have gone hand in hand probably since the emergence of humanity's first religious and spiritual traditions. (More in the article "Cannabis in World Religions")

Interestingly, the introspective properties of the effects of cannabis are very popular with many people and are widely used to this day - for example in today's very modern meditation practices. Whether you meditate in the peace of your home or during yoga classes, it may well have occurred to you to combine this practice with, and "spice it up" with, a little medical cannabis.

Although some prefer to practise their moments of reflection in a sober state of consciousness, for those of you who would like to test what meditation is like after using prescription medical cannabis, we have compiled the following list of the 4 most popular varieties for meditation, based on our own experience and on user reviews from the Leafly website:

1. Northern Lights

Despite its very popular sedative effects, the legendary Northern Lights variety is also very suitable for more active forms of meditation, such as yoga. Users of this variety describe the following:

Indaking: "One of the most mentally uplifting and sensational varieties I have had the honour of trying. I regularly use it before my regular yoga class. Yoga and Northern Lights, at least in my opinion, go together absolutely wonderfully."

Ayanme: "I am simply thrilled every time Northern Lights gets into my hands. This variety is one of my absolute favourites - the ideal time to use this indica is before meditation, yoga or contemplation. Every time after using it I feel deeply content."

2. Laughing Buddha

As the name itself suggests, Laughing Budda is a typical sativa that is suitable for use against, for example, Fibromyalgia as well as against anxiety and depression. This spirit-lifting variety is also perfectly suited to moments of introspection, as it can warmly lighten the mind and thus allow a deeper understanding of both oneself and the surrounding world.

CapnMaryJane: "After using this variety, I experience true moments of calm and balance. I was even able to meditate for longer, which is not exactly typical for me - in a sober state I have problems maintaining inner calm."

3. Hindu Kush

Combining Hindu Kush with old Hindu customs simply makes complete sense. For those who suffer from concentration problems, Hindu Kush is a great companion for daily meditation.

Pyronymph: "For me, by far the favourite variety for inducing a deep, concentrated meditative state."

4. AK-47

Using a variety called AK-47 as an aid to meditation may sound a little contradictory at first, but many users are ultimately pleasantly surprised by this irony. A warning is appropriate for beginners, however: this variety is one of the very strong hybrids, so if you are prone to feelings of anxiety caused by a high THC content, it is better to start with small doses.

Chill_Panda: "After AK-47 I feel wonderfully relaxed and open to new perspectives. It helps me get into the so-called "zen" state of mind really well.
