Cannabis is known to help spark creativity. It’s also known to be the culprit behind naps. There’s a fine line between consumption and the variety of cannabis consumed that can tip the scales for people. Cannabis comes in hundreds, possibly even thousands, of different strains. All these strains can be broken down into three basic groups: indica, sativa, and hybrid. Below, discover the six best cannabis strains for creativity and get those artistic juices flowing.
Indica, sativa, and hybrid are terms that describe the growing characteristics of the plant. Indica plants grow short and bushy with fat-plump leaves. Sativa plants grow tall with lanky fingery leaves. Hybrid cannabis plants display both the growing characteristics of indica and sativa. Indica, sativa, and hybrid all produce the same cannabinoids but contain varying concentrations of cannabinoid combinations and produce different terpene profiles.
Terpenes greatly influence the effect that cannabis has on someone. Beyond THC, CBD, and other important cannabinoids, terpenes offer their own therapeutic advantages. Limonene, myrcene, and eucalyptol are just a few of the over 150 terpenes in cannabis. These terpenes are all believed to help inspire creativity. Let’s look at five popular cannabis strains that other consumers say help them spark their creative flow.
It’s important to remember that it’s not so much about indica, sativa, and hybrid when it comes to cannabis strains; it’s more about how they work for you. Creativity comes in many forms. If you’re suffering from pain, anxiety, or arthritis, you may find an indica that offers a body high to help you down your creative avenue. By reducing the symptoms of pain and anxiety, you can focus more on the tasks at hand.
Sometimes those indica strains can lead to a weed nap, which can make for an unproductive day. This is when some of the terpenes found in sativa varieties of cannabis, such as myrcene, might be just the pick-me-up you need to encourage that spark of creativity.
Too much sativa might make you a little wired, though. That’s where a balanced hybrid comes in. Just the right amount of indica and sativa may suit you better. It can be confusing, but when you find what works, you’ll know it. Perhaps one of these cannabis strains may help you spark some creativity.

Runtz is a hybrid cannabis strain that produces an average THC level between 18 and 24%. This strain was said to be created by crossing Gelato and Zkittles. This delectable pairing produces a tantalizing palate-pleasing flavor profile of berries and baked goods, followed by a fruity floral finish. Many consumers report this variety of cannabis producing happy, talkative, and giggly effects. When you need to catch a wave on the creative flow of life, this sweet cannabis strain may be able to help you do just that.
Green Crack is one of the best cannabis strains for creativity, known to help provide a little herbal inspiration when needed. Some people love the strain but hate the name. That’s okay; we’ll call it something else. Green Crack is also called Green Kush or Mango Crack. This sativa-dominant hybrid averages between 15 to 25% THC. The flavor profile is sweet and tropical, with a pleasing citrus finish. A few puffs of this stuff, and you should have all the herbal inspiration you need to take a ride down the highway of creativity.
Durban Poison is landrace sativa, and no, it’s not poisonous. Unlike many cannabis strains used for creativity, Durban poison isn’t known to spark a major case of the munchies. This strain is believed to contain high levels of THCV, which actually helps suppress appetite and encourage weight loss. All that time you’re not spending munching can help you be more productive. The strain contains an average THC level of 15 to 24%. It’s known to have an earthy flavor profile with hints of sage and pine followed by a spicy finish. Terpinolene is the dominant terpene, followed by myrcene and ocimene. The buzz is described as being energetic and motivational.
White Widow is a timeless classic that first surfaced in the 1980s. This 60/40 sativa dominant hybrid has an average THC level ranging between 16 to 25%. The flavor profile is potent and spicy with a pungent herbal finish. The buzz is described as energetic, talkative, and inspiration, making it one of the best cannabis strains for creativity. Rumor has it this strain has been swiped by so many different breeders that the original White Widow, grown by Scott Blakely, aka Shantibaba, is now rumored to be called Black Widow. If you’re looking for some motivation for creation, White Widow—or Black Widow depending on who you ask—may be just the thing for you.
Blue Dream, sometimes called Azure Haze, is a 70/30 sativa dominant hybrid created by crossing Super Silver Haze with Blueberry. The strain averages a THC level between 18 to 22%. The flavor profile is described as earthy and sweet, with hints of berries and a pungently pleasing finish. Countless consumers of this strain of cannabis report the effects being uplifting, energetic, and creative. Instead of daydreaming with your head in the clouds, try Blue Dream to help spark your creative flow.
Zkittlez is an Indica-dominant cannabis strain. It produces an average THC level of 18 to 24%. The flavor profile is tantalizing and sweet, with hints of tropical fruit and candy followed up by a pungent floral finish. The effects are described as relaxing and often spike the appetite leading to a major case of the munchies. Many people also say this variety of cannabis helps them sleep. Sometimes some food and rest are all we need to help spark creativity when we awaken refreshed!
