High THC Content Strains To Look For

Feb 04, 2022

When most people think of cannabis, one of the first things that come to mind is the high you feel when you use it. The high comes from the cannabinoid THC. Not only does it produce mind-altering effects, but THC can also help to provide pain relief, ease nausea, boost the appetite, and more. Many people who use cannabis are in search of products that have a good amount of THC. If this sounds like you, here are some of the best high THC content strains available. 


Banana Kush

Banana Kush is a cross between Ghost OG and Skunk Haze hybrids. Along with its super creamy banana flavor, users love this strain for its potency. Most plants range between 19% and 25% THC, but the strongest ones reach up to 27%. A favorite among the west coast art scene, Banana Kush removes stress and clears the head, making way for freer creative expression.

Chernobyl

Named after the infamous nuclear disaster in Ukraine, Chernobyl is every bit as explosive as its namesake. A mix of Trainwreck and Trinity that’s been pollinated with Jack the Ripper, this strain is a Sativa-dominant hybrid with an average of 26% THC. It features a tangy lemon-lime flavor and can help you focus and relax. 


Godfather OG

Also known as the “Don of OGs,” Godfather OG is a slightly Indica-dominant strain that averages between 25% and 28% THC. Some buds can reach THC levels as high as 34%. It starts with a strong cerebral head high that clears away dark clouds and leaves you feeling happy. Followed by euphoria, the strain then gives way to the physical effects. You might want to use this strain in the evening at home, as you’ll feel so relaxed, you won’t feel like doing much of anything.


Grease Monkey

With a THC content reaching as high as 31%, Grease Monkey features a potent aroma of nutty vanilla and diesel. The strain offers a euphoric high that calms the mind before spreading to the rest of the body. While it won’t leave you rendered completely couch-locked, it will still make you feel incredibly relaxed. 


Royal Gorilla

Royal Gorilla is a real heavy hitter, featuring an average THC content of around 27%. Its terpene profile gives it a sweet, earthy aroma and a woody pine flavor. This potent strain is both relaxing and uplifting, leaving users feeling quite happy. 


White Fire OG

White Fire OG (also called WiFi) features a high THC content of up to 21% to 25%. It has an earthy, floral aroma and flavor that’s laced with a touch of diesel. The strain provides an uplifting and giddy high that paves the way for creative thinking. 


Choosing the Right High THC Content Strains for You

A decent THC content may be an important factor to many users, but it’s not the only thing you should pay attention to when choosing a strain for your specific needs. You also need to look at the amount of CBD (which could impact the intensity of your high) and the terpene profile. If you’re still not sure, don’t hesitate to try a few different options. Just remember to start low and go slow to see how these high THC content strains work for you.
