Feelings of euphoria can help medical patients and wellness consumers alleviate depression and anxiety, enhance creativity, connect with others, or just spark up to play video games. A positive, euphoric state of mind helps us move through life with more open minds and hearts to those around us, and a better appreciation for what we have.

A euphoric high turns everything up a notch: colors are brighter, jokes are funnier, and worries feel far away. Euphoric highs also tend to come with bursts of energy, although some prefer a mellower euphoria in bed or on the couch. There may also be some tingles.

At first glance, euphoria might seem like a sativa-only characteristic. While euphoria is certainly a cerebral, emotional feeling, it doesn’t only come from sativa, or heady, strains.
