When was the last time you laughed so hard your cheeks hurt? The kind of laughter that sneaks up on you — unstoppable, contagious, and completely joyful. For many, cannabis helps unlock those carefree, giggly moments where everything just feels a little lighter.
At Pepe Cannabis in Burlington, Ontario, we love seeing how different strains can shift a mood — from relaxed to inspired, to flat-out hysterical. While everyone’s experience is different, certain cannabinoids and terpenes (especially limonene) are often associated with happiness, sociability, and laughter.
So, if you’re looking for strains that bring the fun back into your sessions, here’s your guide to the best giggly cannabis strains in Burlington — from uplifting sativas to balanced hybrids known for making life a little funnier.
Why Cannabis Makes People Laugh
It’s not just your imagination — cannabis really can make everything seem funnier. The reason lies in how cannabinoids and terpenes interact with your endocannabinoid system, influencing mood, perception, and social connection.
Here’s what may be happening behind the scenes:
-
Dopamine boost: THC can increase dopamine activity, which is linked to pleasure and reward — the brain’s “feel good” signal that primes you for laughter.
-
Social connection: Cannabis often helps people feel more relaxed and open, making laughter more contagious and spontaneous in group settings.
-
Lowered inhibition: When you’re calm and comfortable, it’s easier to let loose and find humour in the moment.
-
Terpenes at play: Compounds like limonene and pinene (found in citrus-forward strains) are associated with energy, positivity, and elevated mood — the perfect combo for a laugh-filled night.
While research is still catching up to what we’ve known for years, one thing is certain: cannabis and laughter go hand in hand.
What Kind of Weed Makes You Laugh — Indica or Sativa?
Traditionally, sativa strains are known for being uplifting, energizing, and social — effects that naturally pair with laughter. They tend to feature higher levels of limonene and terpinolene, terpenes commonly associated with euphoria and lightheartedness.
That said, most modern strains are hybrids, so the best pick depends on your desired vibe:
-
Sativa-dominant: Uplifting, creative, social — best for daytime or fun nights in.
-
Hybrid: Balanced mood with a mix of body relaxation and mental euphoria.
-
Indica-dominant: Relaxed, mellow, sometimes leading to giggles followed by deep calm.
Let’s take a look at some of the top giggly and happy cannabis strains available in Burlington.
