“Work Sativa” does not mean “Cartel imported low grade Mexican brown weed” anymore. Now, as part of changing the stigma of working while high, we have collected several top high-energy sativa strains that deliver a strong but focused and motivated cerebral buzz. The purpose of this “Work Sativa” series is to showcase sativa strains that allow readers the opportunity to be highly productive during the workday without the heavy evening crash.
Review: Jack Herer by Aeriz (redux)
In general, Illinois doesn’t have enough sativa flower (nor do breeders, for that matter). Recently, I clicked a sativa menu filter for 109 flower products. The filter returned four “sativa-dominate” strains. Four. Out of 109. And one of those strains … Continue reading →
Review: Legends Diesel by Illinois Grown Medicine

Review: Sour Pink Grapefruit by Cresco Labs

Review: Red Line Haze and Rollins by Cresco Labs

Review: Turbo Lemon Cake by Revolution
For this review, I’ll just jump the gun and say that Turbo Lemon Cake by Revolution is not a “Work Sativa” that allows me to sit at a desk with focus and no crash. However, it’s a good sativa-dominant strain … Continue reading →
Review: Bruce Banner by Rythm
I admit that my criteria for sativa strains are different than most consumers. As mentioned, while working and writing, I prefer a high-energy strain with a strong cerebral high that also provides creativity and mental focus. Other preferences include a … Continue reading →
Review: Strawberry #17 by Ozone
Ascend Wellness Holdings launched its Ozone brand in the Michigan and Illinois markets last year. I hadn’t noticed Ozone products on my local dispensaries’ menus, though, until a few months ago. I have been looking for a new sativa strains … Continue reading →
