And I don’t need any help being lazy.
But I’ll gladly take the help anyway.
And nothing helps more than the perfect strain of cannabis.
But which marijuana strains are best to facilitate a nice lazy Sunday?
That depends on what you’re looking for, which is why I give you ten great strains to really veg away your Sunday.
Best Cannabis Strains For A Lazy Sunday
All of the following strains are great to help you get into that lazy Sunday mood, but they do so in different ways. Which one is right for you depends on exactly how you want to feel on your lazy Sunday.
Granddaddy Purple (aka Grand Daddy Purp, GDP, Granddaddy Purple Kush)
Ken Estes, a medical cannabis user, master grower, and activist, created the Granddaddy Purple strain by crossing Purple Urkle and Big Bud in 2003. It soon became popular for its distinct characteristics.
Like most Indica strains, Granddaddy Purple is a highly relaxing strain that provides a dreamy buzz. Cannabis enthusiasts also love it for its stunning purple hues.
With its rich grape and berry flavors, Grandaddy Purple is a pleasure for the senses and a source of tranquility, pain relief, and stress relief. The GDP strain also induces restful and rejuvenating sleep if you suffer from insomnia. This makes it one of the best strains to smoke on a Sunday or in the evening after work.
Girl Scout Cookies (aka GSC and Cookies)
Girl Scout Cookies is a hybrid strain – a cross between Durban Poison and Flo Rider Kush. It contains 17% THC with terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and humulene.
Among the many properties that have made the Cookies strain so popular are its scrumptious flavors and top-notch effects. GSC has sweet, minty, earthy, and doughy notes. It leaves you de-stressed, calm, and euphoric.
Many people feel that this strain gives them a calm focus and settles them into a physically relaxed and meditative state. What better way than that to spend a Sunday?
Jack Herer (aka JH, The Jack, Platinum Jack, and Premium Jack)
The Jack Herer strain has won many awards, including the 7th High Times Cannabis Cup, which is like the Academy Award for Marijuana.
The complex strain is a mix of various strains, including Shiva Skunk, Northern Lights, and Haze. It is known to provide mildly euphoric, relaxed, calm, and happy effects.
The Jack Herer strain is also great for relieving stress and anxiety and it is often prescribed to fight pain and give patients restful sleep. These properties have made the Jack Herer strain one of the world’s most beloved medicinal strains.
Northern Lights (aka NL)
Northern Lights is another potent indica-dominant strain known for its sedative effect and relaxing high. It is one of the purest Indica strains and is usually recommended for evening use. Northern Lights is often prescribed to medicinal marijuana patients for inflammation, diabetes, cancer, pain, insomnia, and more.
NL has been a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts for decades, thanks to its ability to lull users into a state of deep relaxation and tranquility. Users also love its earthy aroma and sweet, spicy taste.
If you have trouble sleeping, insomnia, or sleep disturbances, use the Northern Lights strain for restful, rejuvenating sleep. The best part is that the strain has natural appetite-suppressing properties so you don’t have to worry about getting the munchies.
ACDC (aka AC/DC)
AC/DC is a hybrid strain with a harmonious balance of 50% indica and 50% sativa. It is one of the most popular medicinal strains of cannabis. ACDC is the result of a cross between ruderalis and cannatonic (also called the CBD Queen).
The reason the AC/DC strain is so special is because of its high CBD content (14-20%) and relatively low THC content (1%). This, coupled with the terpene myrcene, makes it a very friendly strain for patients–it relaxes and soothes without producing any psychoactive effects.
Many users have reported feeling happy, euphoric, calm, creative, social, and meditative with AC/DC. It also provides anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. People also love it for its fruity (cherry-like and lemony) aromas.
Apple Fritter
One puff of Apple Fritter and you will instantly be transported back to those cozy afternoons spent in your grandmother’s kitchen while she baked apple pies. The sweet apple, spicy vanilla, and toasty pastry aroma are ideal for relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.
Apple Fritter is a hybrid strain recognized by the cannabis community for its exceptionally high cannabinoid levels (25-32%). It has been feted with several industry awards and enjoys rock-star status in California dispensaries. Its high THC levels promote physical and mental relaxation, and most users report feeling relaxed, happy, and mellow.
OG Kush (aka Original Gangsta)
OG Kush is a classic Californian strain known for its delicious taste and aroma. It has a high THC content (above 20%), which makes it ideal for relaxation and a euphoric high.
OG Kush is often prescribed to fight migraines, stress, chronic pain, muscle soreness, insomnia, and anxiety. It stands apart from other cannabis strains due to its unique terpene profile, which also imparts a refreshing lemony aroma.
OG Kush is also a parent to many popular strains, like Bubble Gum Kush, Bubba Kush, Banana Kush, Cookies Kush, Chemdog, and Amnesia Kush.
Fire OG (aka Fire OG Kush)
Fire OG is an Indica-dominant, all-around powerhouse strain known for its strength and flavor. You will smell its orange, pine, and lemony aromas as soon as you open the jar. Fire OG is recommended for muscle tension, pain, stress, and insomnia. People report feeling sleepy, calm, profoundly relaxed, and euphoric with this strain.

Harlequin
Harlequin is a Sativa-dominant strain made from parent strains like Colombian Gold, Thai, Swiss Landrace, and Nepali Indica strains. It won the 2013 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup.
