 Part two of our “good weed” series is here, and we’re focusing on the best strains for relaxation! Whether you’re looking to unwind after a hectic day or need help falling asleep, we’ve got you covered. In this episode, we explore two essential relaxing strains—one with high THC and one with high CBD—to help you find the perfect match for your relaxation needs. Tune in to learn all about the effects, benefits, and tips for using these calming strains.  “What is good weed? I know it sounds like a little bit of a quip here, but good weed is weed that makes you feel good. And to me that means a number of things. It can make you feel those typical euphoric high feelings that people adore or it could also give you therapeutic relief for symptoms of illnesses or side effects from medications.” If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 256, What Is “Good Weed”?

Ellen Scanlon’s How to Do the Pot is an award-winning conversation that demystifies cannabis with a focus on women’s experiences. This isn’t a technical manual or a dry lecture; it’s a space where curiosity meets practical, joyful advice. The podcast explores how cannabis can intersect with health, well-being, and daily life, tackling questions that often go unasked. You’ll hear specific discussions about finding the right strain for relaxation or intimacy, using CBD for menstrual discomfort, and the nuanced differences between varieties like Harlequin and Gelato. There’s a deliberate and thoughtful choice in language here, too, favoring the term “cannabis” over other outdated labels. At its heart, the series amplifies personal stories and expert insights, creating a resource that feels both informative and deeply relatable. Whether you’re seeking relief, exploring for fun, or just want to understand the landscape better, this podcast provides a welcoming and smart guide through the often overwhelming world of cannabis, all from a perspective that is genuinely for women and by women.
