Uplifted Cannabis Strains
7,116 strains reported to make you feel uplifted
Uplifted strains deliver a light, carefree mood boost — less intense than full euphoria, more of a steady brightening that pairs well with daytime activities.
What 7,116 uplifted strains have in common
51% are sativa, with an average listed THC of 20.3%. The most common terpenes are limonene, pinene and terpinolene.
Why these strains feel uplifted
Uplifted sits between happy and energetic. About half of uplifted strains are sativas, far more than the database average, and the terpene profile is the daytime set of limonene, pinene and terpinolene. Most uplifted strains are also tagged creative and energetic, but the mood lift is the point rather than the drive: users describe feeling lighter and more optimistic without necessarily wanting to run errands. It is the tag to look for when you want a brighter afternoon rather than a productive one.

Uplifted strain FAQ
What is the difference between uplifted and euphoric?›
Intensity. Euphoric strains deliver a rush; uplifted strains deliver a steady brightening. In our data euphoric strains skew stronger and more hybrid-heavy, while uplifted strains skew sativa and are more often paired with energetic. If euphoria has tipped you into anxiety before, uplifted is the gentler tag.
Are uplifted strains good for daytime use?›
They are the classic daytime pick. The limonene-and-pinene profile keeps them clear-headed, and they are rarely tagged sleepy. Pair with focused if you need to work, or with happy if you just want a better mood.
Which terpene lifts mood?›
Limonene, the citrus terpene, is the one most consistently linked to an uplifted, optimistic headspace in user reports, and it leads the profile of this hub. Pinene adds alertness. Strains that combine limonene with a calming terpene such as caryophyllene review best for low mood.
