The old “lazy stoner” stereotype is quickly fading. We now see bodybuilder moms using cannabis for better sleep, runners getting in the zone with the help of weed, and many other examples of cannabis being used in ways that counter the unmotivated stereotypes of the past.
As legal access to the plant increases, more people are turning to cannabis for productivity. And with spring in full swing and summer around the corner, we’ve rounded up some of the best strains to motivate you for some deep cleaning.
The internet is filled with anecdotal evidence for how cannabis can boost productivity. It’s not always clear what causes this boost in productivity; so many factors can play a role in the way cannabis impacts individuals. Online forums are filled with people who have found cannabis to play a positive role in managing their ADHD or keeping their pain or anxiety at bay enough to get more tasks done, among other explanations.
With time, more research has emerged to support cannabis ability to boost productivity. We’ve covered some of these studies before, including the 2024 study that found cannabis use may increase physical activity in young adults and middle-aged people.
Another 2024 study published in the Social Psychological and Personality Science last year found that regular cannabis consumption had minimal impact on motivation and willpower. The study also concluded that cannabis use was associated with more positive emotions than negative ones. This benefit could surely help some get through their less-than-fun cleaning chores.
Many people find success using cannabis as a tool for spring cleaning, regardless of the exact causes. Want to try it for yourself? Here are some spring-cleaning strain suggestions.
Rich in the energizing terpene limonene, Super Silver Haze is a popular sativa with uplifting effects. While the strain lives up to the “haze” in its name, it also comes with an energetic motivation boost that pairs well with a spring deep clean. Super Silver Haze also contains a notable amount of the terpene caryophyllene, which is associated with stress-reducing effects.
Consumers report increased focus and relief from stress and anxiety, making this citrusy strain an excellent choice for those who struggle to get started or stay focused.
Beyond the fitting name, Mr. Clean is a strong choice for a spring-cleaning strain thanks to its focused and energetic effects. A cross between Lime and The Cube, Mr. Clean unsurprisingly boasts strong, funky aromas of lemon, lime, and skunk–a result of its rich caryophyllene and limonene content. This sativa-dominant strain is known to boost consumer moods and energy levels, making it a solid choice for a spring-cleaning pick-me-up.
Like the above strains, Durban Cookies is rich in limonene and caryophyllene. The strain produces stimulating, energizing effects alongside relief from aches and pains–an added benefit that can enhance the cleaning experience. Consumers report feeling relaxed and energized while maintaining mental clarity with this strain. A cross between Durban Poison and Girl Scout Cookies, Durban Cookies provides a gentle balance between uplifting and relaxing effects, making it an effective companion for a spring-cleaning session.
Rich in terpenes, terpinolene, and pinene, Tangie is another great choice to boost spring-cleaning productivity. Considered a “remake” of the popular Tangerine Dream strain, Tangie hits the mark for bold, citrusy flavors. The terpene combination, along with myrcene, produces a gentle, balanced blend of relaxation and euphoria. Those who struggle to clean effectively due to stress and anxiety may find Tangie to be the trick to achieving better results.
While many people find success using cannabis for cleaning, others may find the combination to be ineffective. Harlequin may be a good alternative. High in cannabidiol (CBD) and low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), this sativa-dominant strain produces relaxing but clear-headed effects with minimal intoxication. Many users report enhanced mental clarity and improved mood, which can make a big difference when it comes to tackling a big cleaning job.
Rich in caryophyllene and pinene, this high-CBD strain packs a funky, cheesy aroma with focused, uplifted effects. Lifter is very low in THC, making it a minimally intoxicating option–perfect for those who just need a little pick-me-up to get the job done.
Known as a functional strain, Lifter provides a sense of focus and calm without any sedation. Widely considered a morning or daytime strain, Lifter may be the perfect choice for someone who doesn’t want the “high” feeling but could benefit from a little stress relief and a boost in focus.
Some people look forward to spring cleaning while others dread the task. Cannabis can help make the process a little more manageable and, in some cases, even fun. Fortunately, cannabis pairs well with many other spring-cleaning tips and tricks.
Adding music can improve many experiences, and spring cleaning is no exception. Blasting exciting pump-up music can make all the difference for a deep clean session. Music and cannabis make a great pair, too. Combining all three is a recipe for a fun, successful spring clean.
For those who like using to-do lists, spring cleaning can be turned into a fun challenge game. Anyone can come up with a unique twist on a checklist challenge, but we recommend setting timers and seeing how many tasks you can get through in an hour. Or, set a timer for five minutes and see how quickly you can blast through a given task.
Sometimes we need more motivation than crossing items off checklists. Those who work well with rewards may find benefit in buying a special treat for a post-cleaning celebration, or treating themselves to their favorite take-out spot to unwind after a long day of grinding.
Others may find motivation in booking a massage, spa day, or just drawing a bubble bath to relax after their hard work. Whether it’s a massage, bubble bath, or curly fries and a milkshake, just about any reward will pair well with cannabis.
No matter how you spin it, cleaning is work. But for some people, that work can be made a whole lot more fun with the help of cannabis. The key is to find a strain that works for your needs; whether you need more focus, attention to detail, or energy, there’s likely a strain out there for you. Use this guide as a jumping-off point, but don’t be afraid to experiment with the many other strains on the market.
Keeping a glass pipe clean improves flavor, airflow, and overall smoking experience. Over time, resin and residue build up inside the glass pipe, which makes each smoking session harsher and less enjoyable. Regular cleaning helps the pipe function properly for longer. Many people look for the best way to clean a glass pipe using safe,…
Reclaim edibles are re-purposed leftovers. You see that sticky residue sitting in your dab rig? Take a look, it is there. With a teensy bit of creativity, you can actually transform it into something amazing. The downside? Probably won’t hit exactly like fresh cannabis and won’t taste great either. However, if for whatever reason you…
Whoever says only women can use beauty products needs to hush. Men deserve to look good, too, because the better you look, the better you feel. Research suggests younger men aged 18-34 are most likely to use CBD for skin conditions, but so do those 34–55 still. You don’t have to go as far as…
In the school of life, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the most popular intoxicating cannabis compound, is like the popular kid everyone knows by name. The center of attention, always getting talked about, and highly sought after. Cannabidiol (CBD), on the other hand, gets a little less love. It’s more like the quiet honor student: low-key, non-intoxicating, rarely…
