In 2016, Leafly posted a story about a University of Colorado study, which revealed that 1) 8% claimed that medical cannabis helped prevent their migraine headaches, 2) 85% reported that they suffered fewer migraines each month while using cannabis. Another study also concluded that “the frequency of a migraine headache was decreased with medical marijuana use.”

With these major study reports in mind, here are the top four cannabis strains for migraine relief.

1. Blue Dream

This strain is a classic sativa-dominant hybrid that offers a myriad of strong effects. It ranks among the highest in THC concentration, typically 17-24 percent THC. Great for daytime use, Blue Dream is a great relief from migraine pain and related nausea. The fast-acting, non-sedative effects that make Blue Dream popular with recreational users also makes it one of the best weed strains for migraines.
