Cannabis is well-known for it's stress relieving and relaxing effects but there are actually strains that give energy and focus. Most of the time smoke sessions are left for the end of a hard day, but there are strains made to energize, allowing stoners to enjoy cannabis at all times of the day.
There are 3 categories cannabis falls in: indica, sativa and hybrid. Indica, the more popular of the three, is a category of cannabis that has sedative properties, causing a body high while sativas have energy enhancing properties, causing a more head high. Hybrids are literally a mix between the two. Indica's are best for nighttime, pain management and anti-anxiety reasons. Sativas are best for treating depression, enhancing creativity and uplifting the mood. Since hybrids are mixtures of the 2, they can have a combination of these effects, making very well rounded cannabis strains.
When looking for a daytime cannabis strain, aim for sativas or sativa dominant hybrids. Stray away from anything that's less than 50% sativa.

A strain that has the best of both worlds would be Durban Poison. This strain is a pure sativa, however, if you smoke too much you'll end up locked to the couch. So take a few hits to complete your task then take a few more and celebrate your success with a stoned nap. This is perfect for people who don't want to have different strains for day and night. It is very popular due to its sticky buds and sweet, yet ammonia-like smell.

Being able to medicate with cannabis during the day without affecting your motivation and energy, is exactly what some people need. Especially those smoking for chronic pain, seizures and other ailments that can strike at any time of the day, sativa strains can make the world of difference. Smoking during the day isn't for everyone, regardless of the strain chosen. But for me, a nice bowl in the morning just lifts my mood, and gets me ready to tackle the day!
