Depression is a hard condition to deal with and there is no easy fix. Anecdotally, cannabis is said by many to have a positive effect on the condition - though, like other ways of dealing with depression, it is no quick fix. The evidence is certainly growing that cannabis can help, but be sure to do your research. Cannabis will only help relieve symptoms - depression is far too complicated to have it otherwise. Beating depression is about giving an overburdened mind time to relax and heal. For this reason, sativas and hybrids with sativa qualities are often preferred choices for stoners looking for relief.

Everyone has different needs, but here at Royal Queen Seeds, we have put together a list of 10 strains that have properties thought to help.

1. Royal Jack Automatic

Jack Herer was such an iconic name in cannabis activism, he had strains named in his honour. Royal Jack is the outstanding sativa-dominant hybrid inspired by him. Its strong uplifting buzz is meant to symbolise the inexhaustible spirit with which Jack Herer had fought for cannabis legalisation. The spicy, peppery taste will carry you aloft to new highs. If you are feeling low, this has potential to energise you and lift your mood.

2. Pineapple Kush

The strains of Pineapple and O.G Kush come together nicely in Pineapple Kush. The clue is in the name for its pineapple flavour. There are also subtle hints of caramel, butter and mint in its sweet taste. A mouth-watering sensory experience for such a relaxing high. This has been to known to lift moods to the point of giggling - most likely because of the high THC content. Let it bring a light relaxation to the body while the cerebral high carries you aloft.

3. Northern Light

The vivid colours of the dazzling aurora would be fantastic to see with some weed. Such a psychedelic sight was bound to get a strain named after it. Sure enough, Northern Lights is the name of a very popular indica strain. Indica is for staying 'in', sativa is for going out; that's how many like to think of them. Northern Lights will keep you in because your body will sink under the mellowing high. Banishing worrisome thoughts, this strain has been used to treat sleeplessness and chronic pain. This sweet, piney treat can also help relax the mind, giving it potential to ease anxiety.

4. Royal AK

The THC levels climb higher with Royal AK, sure to bring one powerful rush of euphoria. Hints of berry and diesel in its scent accompany a sweet sugary taste. This sativa-dominant hybrid combines the lasting body high of an indica with a strong sativa head high. Legend has it that upon its launch in the coffeeshops of Amsterdam, Royal AK put many smokers to sleep. One thing is for sure, the combination of physical relaxation with mental uplift is not to be missed.

5. Amnesia Haze

Amnesia Haze is such a popular strain you're not likely to meet a stoner who hasn't heard of it. It's in virtually every Amsterdam coffeeshop. It has won first prize at the Cannabis Cup twice, bringing a shimmering high to your head. Some have reported watering mouths and eyes from the joy of its high. That could also be down to its intense citrus lemon flavour. Amnesia Haze should help boost you when you feel fatigued and banish stressful thoughts.

6. Royal Cookies

Cookie strains are popular. Not just because their name suggests a perfect accompaniment for when the munchies hit; their levels of THC are potent, often reaching the twenties. Prepare for a commanding high which relaxes the body, eases pain and proves to be very stimulating. It stimulates your appetite as well as any creative activity you may enjoy. Help get yourself back to a good place by combining some fun activity with these thick, sweet, vividly green buds.

7. OG Kush

OG Kush goes back in the history of California's cannabis cultivation. This is one of the standout strains for California and for the world. Even seasoned stoners are blown away when they're hit by the powerful high of OG Kush. This indica-dominant hybrid is suited to relaxing happy highs or energetic uplifts. Such is the strength of its high, no doubt and an inheritance of its genetic heritage from the Kush region. This strain is anecdotally thought to relieve migraines and stress disorders.

8. Haze Berry

Super Silver Haze and Blueberry have been combined into Haze Berry, a sativa-dominant hybrid. The very high THC levels from the Haze lineage are to be expected. The sweet berry taste and pungent aroma, a result of its berry properties. This would be a treat for sensory pleasure but has very good medical application. It can lift your mood like a rocket taking off, restoring energy when motivation is lost. It can also relieve the eye pressure and muscular tension so often associated with anxiety.

9. Royal Moby

Royal Moby has high levels of THC and medium levels of CBD. The interaction between the anxiety-relieving CBD and the high-inducing THC is crucial to its impact. The stress relief qualities on offer here are unparalleled. Any combination of Haze and White Widow was bound to be strong. Each of those has an intense impact and they combine here for a whopping sativa head high. This sativa-dominant hybrid is recommended for seasoned smokers who feel a powerful high would help them.

10. Sour Diesel

The name Sour Diesel does accurately describe its aroma. While that might not sound pleasurable, it accompanies one of the most amazing highs you will ever feel. The Skunk heritage in this sativa has been known to push THC levels as high as the mid-20s. The ultimate relaxing and mind stimulating properties of Sour Diesel can one take a moment to ease their burden.

SECTION 4 – HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

At Royal Queen Seeds, we will not retain your data for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of data; however, the longest period we will normally hold any personal data is 10 years.

Data relating to the account remains relevant for as long as the consumer is in possession of an account. Therefore, the data remains documented for as long as the account exists.

In addition, our newsletter mailing has an opt-out feature. Consumers can withdraw their consent by using this opt-out feature.

SECTION 5 – COOKIES

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Essentially, when you use our website, your computer displays its cookies to us, informing our site that you have visited before. This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient. At Royal Queen Seeds, we use two types of cookies: functional and analytical.

5.1 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to enhance your online experience. Among other things, these cookies track what is added to your shopping cart. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

5.2 Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies are used for research and market analysis. The data collected with these analytical cookies is anonymous, making it unusable for third parties. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
