1. Girl Scout Cookies
To start off with our top 10 best marijuana strains here is our number 1: Girl Scout Cookies. Girl Scout Cookies are feminised cannabis seeds of an aristocratic cannabis strain.

2. Granddaddy Purple
Granddaddy Purple (GDP) deserves a solid second place as being one of the best marijuana strains currently available. GDP is a robust, Indica-dominant hybrid with a legendary reputation. It is famous for its distinctive berry taste and intense analgesic properties.
Grandaddy Purple offers a punchy cerebral high, swiftly followed by intense feelings of relaxation. Look forward to a good night's sleep after enjoying the initial rush of elation.
3. Bruce Banner
Bruce Banner is well-named after the alter ego of the Hulk as it is a "pretty" powerful strain. The Bruce Banner fragrance is delightful with lemon undertones and its leaves have a light spicy taste.
A quick rush leads to a euphoric burst immediately before relaxing into a full-body stone. This dominant hybrid strikes a good balance between the Sativa and Indica effects.
Bruce Banner's energy is easily channelled into productivity, making this strain suitable for daytime or evening smoking sessions, although the potential is often too much for professional situations.
4. Durban Poison
Durban Poison is definitly one of the best Sativa dominant marijuana strains of all time. Suitable for indoors but also hardy enough for outdoor cultivation, even in extreme northern or southern climes. Durban Poison seeds are native to South Africa and were first crossed back in in the 1970s.
Durban Poison gives a sharp, stimulating, stimulating effect. This is the perfect variety if you want to stay productive or finish creative tasks during the day. It will get you high, but you can still face the outside world without feeling uncomfortable or paranoid.
Some more narcotic effects can follow the first wave of energy if you smoke it more. The high lasts for a relatively long time.
5. Cannatonic
Cannatonic is a feminised cannabis hybrid created by crossing an MK Ultra x G13 Haze. It offers the ideal blend of Indica and Sativa genetics.
Super high in CBD, Cannnatonic is one of the most popular medicinal strains on the market. Although it offers a gentle buzz rather than a powerful high, the THC content is extraordinarily high at around 15%!
Cannatonic will help you relax and unwind, and offer a super tranquil and refreshing experience.
6. Sour Diesel
The legend goes the seeds were first bought at a Grateful Dead concert in Colorado in 1991 before being distributed across the East Coast for hybridisation. The Sour Diesel strain was made by crossing Chemdawg Plant with Super Skunk.
Sour Diesel offers an excellent head high that uplifts and fills you with energy. Couch-lock is not an issue with this strain of weed. You'll be the life and soul of the party with the energy that Sour Diesel brings.
7. OG Kush
OG Kush cannabis seeds are one of the most famous cannabis seeds in the world, mostly thanks to Snoop Dogg. He made numerous references to these seeds in his music, but the popularity of these cannabis seeds are also because of their taste and quality.
Despite what you may have heard, OG Kush doesn't stand for Original Gangster, but for Ocean Growth - these seeds originated on the Pacific coast of Northern California.
As the OG Kush is a notoriously potent marijuana strain, many smokers class it as an all-time favourite. The OG Kush gives a robust mental high.
8. Acapulco Gold
Acapulco Gold is a Sativa-dominant cross known for its buttery-smooth buzz and fantastic cerebral effects, producing feelings of happiness and euphoria.
Its orange hairs are instantly recognisable surrounding the golden nugget with gold, green, and brown hues and plenty of delicious sticky resin on the bud.
Many people have noticed that this cannabis strain can alleviate symptoms of PTSD, stress and anxiety. High levels of THC are responsible for the euphoric high of the drug.
Acapulco Gold is guaranteed to hit you hard if you are a novice smoker.
However, if you are an experienced smoker, you will feel very relaxed, perhaps a little heavy behind the eyes and will undoubtedly appreciate the superb stoned buzz that has led to Acapulco Gold being one of the world's most iconic smokes.
9. ACDC
ACDC was first cultivated by Resin Seeds and has a Sativa-to-Indica ratio that is very close to 50:50 so you will not be surprised to hear that it would be capable of producing a clean and balanced high - if it had enough THC to create a high.
You might be surprised to hear that ACDC is a Sativa-dominant phenotype of Cannatonic (with even less THC meaning that it is hardly psychoactive at all and is one of the most medicinal strains around).
ACDC is not suitable if you want cannabis that will get you high. If you are looking for weed for medicinal purposes, it certainly fits the bill. ACDC allows you to experience all the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without any of the psychoactive effects.
10. AK-47
AK-47 is a variety of marijuana with a firm lineage that is believed to have origins in the post-war 1970s as a Thai and Afghanistan hybrid. However, AK-47 itself did not manifest until the early nineties. The strain was subject to further modifications in 1999 and definitly belongs to one of the best marijuana strains of all time.
Despite the violence implied in its name, AK-47 is a mellow and relaxed strain that is popular in Amsterdam's cafes. Although it is a Sativa-dominant variety, you can look forward to enjoying a long-lasting cerebral buzz that isn't too strong.
Its euphoric effects of heightened alertness are great for getting the daytime chores done, or engaging in social activities as well as alleviating anxiety.
AK 47 is known to give users 'the munchies' so can be used to increase appetite as well as reducing vomiting and feelings of nausea.
