How to Choose the Best Cannabis Strain for Your Boston Adventure

October 21, 2024

Any trip through a historic town, whether on your own or with friends, can be an enriching, exciting adventure — but few places are as packed with sights, experiences, and activities as Boston. If you’re thinking about hitting the town to visit the landmarks or explore the natural trails and paths that blend nature with the cityscape, you might be wondering how cannabis can factor into your plans.

Many people may want many different things out of their cannabis-infused trip to Boston. The good news is that there are hundreds of strains to choose from, so no matter your goals, you can find marijuana that helps you achieve them.

Here are some tips for choosing the best cannabis strain for your Boston adventure based on what you have in your itinerary.

What Are You Looking For?

With so many strains of cannabis available for purchase from Boston dispensaries, you might feel like your adventure is starting well before you ever set foot at one of Boston’s notable landmarks.

To understand which strains will suit your adventure, consider what you hope to get from the journey. Are you hoping to quietly contemplate nature or dive into Boston’s thriving nightlife?

Cannabis can contribute to your trip in many ways, including:

Reducing the Physical Strain

An adventure can be fun for anyone, but those with physical limitations (or simply groups who will be in the car for a long time) might benefit from cannabis strains that ease the physical burden of staying active all day.

Whether you’re prone to sore feet and tight hamstrings after an afternoon of walking or your back pain limits your sightseeing options, consider strains that help mitigate these unpleasant feelings. Try:

Active Thoughts

If the bustling energy of Boston matches your vibe, choose marijuana that supports an active mind. Museums, hiking trails, and city sights can inspire you if you’re in the right mindset, and a complementary cannabis strain can take that inspiration to new heights.

Enjoy greater enthusiasm, higher energy levels to keep you going through a long day, and a creative spark that might leave you eager to engage in groups, meetups, or interactive activities. Try:

  • Super Silver Haze
  • Durban Poison
  • Green Crack
  • Jack Herer
  • Headband

Relaxation and Contemplation

While adventures are exciting, they don’t need to get your heart racing in order to have a good time. Some Boston experiences can be simple yet profound — lying in a public park watching the stars, enjoying the sunset from a hiking trail, or even just sitting in public observing the crowd go by while enjoying a snack from a nearby café. If your idea of a perfect day in Boston sounds like this, consider strains that promote relaxation and deep, reflective contemplation. Try:

An Open-Minded Experience

Those who crave a transcendent interaction with Boston’s art, music, nature, and historic scenes can benefit from cannabis that expands the mind. Ideal strains here might contribute a noticeable head high to transform a local visit from mundane to inspired. Intensify the vivid blues and shimmering scales of the fish in the Boston aquarium with a transient high, or view the stars in the planetarium in a whole new way. Try:

  • Ghost Train
  • Blue Dream
  • Tangerine Dream
  • Gelato
  • Orange Creamsicle

Something to Keep in Mind

While Boston welcomes both recreational and medical marijuana consumers, remember to light up before you head into town. Consuming cannabis in any form — and yes, that includes eddies — while in public is not permitted.

The good news is that you can more carefully curate your adventure by doing things this way. For instance, consume a weed edible before heading out for a local breakfast, and by the time the edible reaches its peak effect, you should be done with breakfast and on your way to your next destination.

Visiting Boston dispensaries should also be something you add to your itinerary. But if you purchase cannabis, remember to store it securely, and never transport it across state lines — so if you’re visiting from out of state, consume it before your trip is over!
