Some might say it is best to enjoy each strain separately so you can enjoy the unique flavor, smell, and effects of each strain of cannabis. And they may have a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, others say that by mixing strains you can open yourself up to the potential benefits of the Entourage Effect &#8211; and they may be right too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, instead of taking other people\u2019s word for it, why don\u2019t we look into a few reasons why mixing strains could be beneficial, so you can decide for yourself if it is right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Why Would You Mix Cannabis Strains?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to this question will depend on who you ask. For instance, if you ask a medical cannabis patient they might tell you they like to mix strains to try to take advantage of added health benefits.<br><br>If you ask a recreational user of cannabis the same question, they might tell you that they do so to try to get higher.

It may all come down to cannabinoids, terpenes, and something called the entourage effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/entourage-effect-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/entourage-effect-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/entourage-effect-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/entourage-effect-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/entourage-effect-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">What Is the Entourage Effect?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although more research is needed, what we do know is that when you combine the right kinds of cannabinoids and terpenes for your body it can create a synergetic effect known as <em>The Entourage Effect<\/em>\u2013which can provide a more complete cannabis experience than ingesting individual cannabinoids like THC or CBD.<br><br>The reason for this is that we all have our own internal endocannabinoid system (ECS).

By doing so, you may also gain access to the potential health benefits of those extra cannabinoids and terpenes.<br><br>The benefits of mixing strains are not just limited to enhancing potential medical benefits. Recreational users can also use the idea of mixing strains to help manage the potency and effects of their cannabis.<br><br>For example, if a potent strain gives you undesirable effects when you consume it, mixing it with a strain that\u2019s lower in THC and higher in cannabidiol (CBD) could help reduce some of those negative effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cbd-thc-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cbd-thc-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cbd-thc-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cbd-thc-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cbd-thc-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because CBD reduces THC\u2019s ability to bind to cannabinoid receptors in our ECS.

To mix strains of weed, or create a weed salad, the easiest way is to grind your flower and mix the two strains. From there you have many options. You can smoke, vape, and even make your own cannabutter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the easy part. Now the more complicated part. Which is figuring out how to make the best mix for you.<br><br>Should you mix an Indica with a Sativa? Can you mix two indicas or two sativas together?<br>And, if you are mixing sativa and indica, how much of each should you use?<br><br>Can you mix old weed with fresh weed? How about high THC cannabis with low-THC cannabis with CBD?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many variables, we wanted to share some tips to help you create your own weed salad. Let\u2019s start with talking about the scent of your cannabis flower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mixing-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mixing-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mixing-cannabis-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mixing-cannabis-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mixing-cannabis-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Tip #1: Mixing Weed with Similar Scents and Flavors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve read our past blog post about <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/cannabis-education\/how-to-identify-terpenes-in-products-when-no-lab-report-is-provided\/\">How to Identify Terpenes in Products When No Lab Report Is Provided<\/a> &#8211; you know that terpenes are responsible for the unique scent of each strain of cannabis.<br><br>You also know that the scent of cannabis flower can be very helpful in determining if its effects will agree with your body and endocannabinoid system. So, if the scent of a strain doesn\u2019t smell appealing to you, that could be a sign that it may not work well with your system and you may not enjoy the experience.<br><br>So our first tip is to mix strains with similar scents that are appealing to you. Or, scents you think may go well together. But, if it smells good, that could be a sign it will go well with your system.<br><br>If you are unsure, start by grinding and mixing just a little bit. Then, taste it and decide if you want to mix a bigger batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Mix a Fruit Blend<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Some strains of cannabis will have a fruity scent. Blueberry and Strawberry cough are a couple of examples of some fruity strains that may work well together. Keep in mind that the right mix will be different for all and will come down to your tastes and preferences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other strains that tend to have fruity scents include Maui Wowie, Runtz, and Sundae Driver, Mango Haze, and Peach Crescendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fruity-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fruity-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fruity-cannabis-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fruity-cannabis-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fruity-cannabis-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Pair Diesels with Diesels<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain strains of cannabis will have a gassy, diesel-like scent. Examples include Chemdawg, Sour diesel, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/cannabis-education\/what-is-a-landrace-strain\/\">landrace strain Afghani<\/a>.<br><br>It is safe to say that if you are fond of these types of strains, then you may enjoy a nice blend of sour diesel and Afghani. But, if you find these types of strains don\u2019t really work well for you, then a mix of the two would not make sense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Tip #2: Mix Flavors that Complement Each Other<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay now for tip #2, mixing cannabis strains with flavors that go well together.&nbsp;For example, perhaps you could mix the strain called tea, for its tea-like flavor, and lemon haze. That may give you a nice refreshing session.<br><br>Or perhaps you are a fan of cheese strains &#8211; perhaps you can mix cheesecake with strawberry cookies OG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/complimentary-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/complimentary-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/complimentary-cannabis-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/complimentary-cannabis-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/complimentary-cannabis-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that when it comes to cannabis and the mix that works best, the answer will be different for everyone. That means that a mix that might provide you with an excellent experience, might not be enjoyable for someone else.<br><br>So, feel free to get creative and mix strains with flavors that sound good to you. We suggest sampling a small mix to make sure you like it before mixing it all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Tip #3: Mix Strains According to Effects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This tip may be the most important. One of the best ways to mix strains of cannabis is to do so according to how each strain makes you feel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you picked up a strain of cannabis that provides you with an energizing and mentally uplifting high, but leaves you feeling a little bit anxious, perhaps you can tone down any unpleasant effects by mixing that strain with a more mellow strain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or perhaps, you picked up a strain that gives you a relaxing full-body effect but puts you on couch lock &#8211; perhaps you can mix it with a strain that gives you a gentle uplifting effect to help tone down the couch lock effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One good rule of thumb to follow is to avoid mixing strains that are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. A strain that is extremely energizing and uplifting might not mix well with one that provides strong full-bodied relaxation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/creative-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/creative-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/creative-cannabis-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/creative-cannabis-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/creative-cannabis-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Get Creative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole point of mixing cannabis strains is to open your endocannabinoid system up to the potential benefits of the complete rainbow of cannabinoids available in cannabis. And as we mentioned it can also help to provide an enhanced experience through what\u2019s known as the entourage effect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tips described above only scratch the surface of effective ways to enjoy the benefits of mixing different strains of weed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few more examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mixing a strain with a bland flavor with one that has a nice strong flavor like Grape Ape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mixing an older batch of weed that\u2019s a bit dry with a fresh batch&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mixing strains with different benefits \u2013 like mixing a strain known to have anti-inflammatory tendencies with a strain like Durban Poison that is believed to be beneficial in suppressing appetite&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-afe18ca6245837e41b403fe4902479b7\" id=\"mixing-indica-and-sativa\">Mixing Sativa and Indica Strains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mixing sativa and indica strains can create a unique and balanced cannabis experience that combines the best of both worlds. This hybrid approach can offer a customized effect, catering to specific needs and preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-05eacc85f96431b572b39615438c7391\">Benefits of Mixing Indica and Sativa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Balanced Effects<\/strong>: Sativa strains are known for their uplifting and energizing effects, making them ideal for daytime use and creative activities. Indica strains, on the other hand, are typically associated with relaxation and sedation, making them perfect for nighttime use and alleviating stress or pain. Mixing these strains can create a balanced high that provides both mental stimulation and physical relaxation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enhanced Symptom Relief<\/strong>: For medical cannabis users, combining sativa and indica can enhance symptom relief. For example, the energizing effects of sativa can counteract the sedative effects of indica, making it easier to manage pain, anxiety, or depression without excessive sedation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tailored Experiences<\/strong>: By experimenting with different ratios of sativa and indica, users can tailor their cannabis experience to their specific needs. For instance, a higher sativa-to-indica ratio might be suitable for a social gathering, while a higher indica-to-sativa ratio might be better for winding down at the end of the day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-302e441002d8799725d97b4f8603ecda\">How to Mix Sativa and Indica<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start with Small Amounts<\/strong>: If you&#8217;re new to mixing strains, start with small amounts to understand how each strain affects you. Gradually adjust the ratio to find the perfect balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consider Your Tolerance<\/strong>: Be mindful of your tolerance levels. Mixing strains can enhance the overall potency, so it&#8217;s important to know your limits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Experiment with Different Ratios<\/strong>: Try different combinations to see what works best for you. A common starting point is a 50\/50 mix, but you can adjust this based on your desired effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consult with a Budtender<\/strong>: If you&#8217;re unsure about which strains to mix or how to do it, consult with a knowledgeable budtender at your local dispensary. They can provide recommendations based on your preferences and needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f2a49cd133cdf4efdae9963c55ab0642\">Popular Strains to Mix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sativa Dominant Hybrids<\/strong>: Strains like Jack Herer or Sour Diesel mixed with indica strains like Granddaddy Purple or Northern Lights can provide an uplifting yet relaxing effect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Indica Dominant Hybrids<\/strong>: Strains like OG Kush or Blue Dream mixed with sativa strains like Green Crack or Durban Poison can offer a calming effect with a touch of mental clarity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Experimenting with mixing sativa and indica strains can lead to a more personalized and enjoyable cannabis experience, offering the benefits of both types of cannabis in one balanced package. Always start with small amounts and adjust based on your response to find the perfect blend for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Final Thoughts on Creating Your Own Weed Blends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The possibilities are endless when it comes to mixing strains of cannabis. If you have trouble getting creative, you can look at popular hybrid strains to get ideas of different strains of cannabis that might go well together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One possible suggestion is to create a cannabis diary, where you can write down different blends you\u2019ve experimented with along with notes about how you felt about each mix.
