Cannabis-Namen | Die bekanntesten CBD- und THC-alternativen Sorten
Every cannabis name tells a different story: on one side are the common street names and terms (grass, weed, hemp, herb), and on the other are the specific strain names, each associated with a specific type and unique genetics. A distinction is made between three major cannabis families: Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid, each with its own aroma profile and effects.
Amnesia Haze, OG Kush, Gelato, Runtz, White Widow, Jack Herer... these are just a few of the famous strain names that have shaped cannabis history. Most of them are available today at Sixty8 both as CBD and as a THC alternative (10-OH+, HEC-10, Magic Sauce) – with the exact same aroma and profile as the original. This strain guide lists the best-known cannabis names, their types, their renowned effects, and their availability as CBD or a THC alternative.<
What types of cannabis are there?
There are three main types of cannabis: Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis. Each plant has its own genetics, terpene profile, and specific characteristics. Sativa provides a stimulating and energizing effect, ideal for daytime. Indica offers a relaxing and body-centered effect, perfect for the evening. Ruderalis, the genetic basis for autoflowering strains, is less well known but appreciated for its robustness.
In fact, the vast majority of cannabis strains sold today, such as Skunk, Kush, or Cheese, are hybrids: they combine multiple types to offer a balanced mix of stimulation and relaxation. At Sixty8, these same genetic profiles are available both as classic CBD flowers and as THC alternatives for connoisseurs looking for a more intense effect while remaining within a legal framework.

How to choose the right cannabis strain?
Choosing a strain name depends on the desired type, aroma profile, taste, targeted effect, and time of consumption. For a citrus aroma and a stimulating effect during the day, a Sativa like Amnesia Haze, Jack Herer, or Lemon Haze is ideal. For a relaxing evening effect, an Indica like Bubba Kush, Hindu Kush, or Blueberry is better suited.
Hybrids like Gelato, Gorilla Glue, White Widow, or Skunk offer a middle ground between both families – providing an effect that is both stimulating and relaxing depending on the base genetics. The choice also depends on the desired intensity: CBD flowers for relaxation without psychoactive effects, or a THC alternative like 10-OH+, HEC-10, or Magic Sauce for a more pronounced effect within a legal framework.
Common terms and names for cannabis
Cannabis has almost as many expressions as it has consumers. These terms vary by region and generation, but all refer to the same plant.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Grass / Weed | The most common terms used for the plant in the German-speaking region |
| Herb (Kraut) | Classic designation for the plant form |
| Ganja | Jamaican term, strongly associated with reggae culture |
| Hash / Shit | Refers to the resin, not the flower |
| Kif | Moroccan term for flower or resin |
| Pollen | Sifted trichomes, powdered hash |
The best-known hash varieties: CBD and THC alternatives
Hashish is the resin of the cannabis plant: the trichomes are separated from the plant and pressed into a concentrated mass. Texture, aroma, and quality vary depending on the manufacturing method and the geographical origin of each hash variety.

Medicinal strains and therapeutic effects
Certain strain names are particularly sought after for their therapeutic effects: relieving stress, anxiety, or pain, promoting relaxation, or improving sleep. In the CBD sector, these so-called medicinal strains retain the same aroma profile and renowned relaxing effect, but without the psychoactive THC of classical medical cannabis strains. This applies in particular to OG Kush, Bubba Kush, Hindu Kush, and Northern Lights – four reliable classics for late-evening relaxation.
Summary in brief
Weed, Gelato, or OG Kush: behind every name lies either a colloquial term or a precise strain name, linked to a Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid type. Each strain has its own aroma profile and typical effect. Most of these popular strain names are available at Sixty8 as CBD flowers, and several of them are also available as a THC alternative (10-OH+, HEC-10, Magic Sauce) for a more intense experience.
