Here’s how to narrow it down:

• For pain or insomnia: Go for heavy Indicas like Hibernate, Bubba Fett, or GMO Cookies.

• For mood and energy: Try uplifting Sativas like Clementine or Lemon Haze.

• For balance and creativity: Reach for hybrids like Bruce Banner or Gorilla Pie.

• For a mellow intro: Sour Tsunami or lower-THC options are a gentle starting point.
