If you want a little more kick with the risk of anxiety, Hypha grows a killer batch of Princess Peach, a sativa-leaning hybrid that packs a punch.These are the strains I keep coming back to when I want to feel inspired, sharper, and more engaged, without the haze or anxiety. I’m always testing new cultivars, but these 12 have earned a spot in my regular rotation. If you’re into live rosin, a flavorful and solventless concentrate, I recommend Mandarin Zkittlez by Information Entropy, Blueberry Haze by 710 Labs, Space Guava by Eastside Alchemy, Lemon Stank, Roasted Lemons, Strawberry Candy, and the Juice Man by Wojo Co. Not every strain works the same for everyone, but these are a good place to start if you’re looking to stay active without feeling disoriented. All of them deliver a functional kind of lift. And if you’re wondering what my choice for pickleball is, it’s Carbon Fiber or Gelonade. They keep me focused and dialed in. My reactions are sharper, my movements more fluid. It’s about being present and feeling connected to your body. The noise in my head quiets down, and I can lock in on the game. Not every strain can get you there. But when you find the right ones, you’ll be hard to stop. If you want us to sample your cannabis products, send us an email at steve@metrointhed.com.

Sturgill Simpson With his 2014 breakthrough Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, Kentucky-born Sturgill Simpson helped rejuvenate the genre with a neo-outlaw sound. He’s spent the rest of his career gleefully defying expectations: tapping Amy Winehouse’s former backing band the Dap-Kings for the Grammy-winning A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, soundtracking an anime film with the hard-rocking Sound & Fury, and releasing a suite of bluegrass albums in 2020 and 2021. When a vocal cord injury seemed like it might end his career, Simpson once again pivoted. Released under the moniker Johnny Blue Skies last year, Simpson’s Passage du Desir exists somewhere between Jimmy Buffet and Pink Floyd, but the live shows are on another level. Simpson and his tight band draw from his entire catalog, interspersed with long stretches of improvisational noodling to give his voice a rest — delighting fans of jam bands. And somehow, it’s still very country. Starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 10 at Meadowbrook Amphitheatre, 3554 Walton Blvd., Rochester Hills; ticketmaster.com. Tickets start at $59.50.
