No one is hating on the standard dinner by candlelight and expensive bottle of wine. But the classic Valentine's Day date is long overdue for an upgrade. If you and your S.O. aren't really the shirt-tucking-in types, why not try something a little more lit—literally.

We've rounded up seven different cannabis strains to explore this V-Day, along with an overview of their flavor profiles and effects.

1.  Blue Trainwreck

Pairs well with:All-day brunch reservations.

Call us crazy, but we don't think you need to wait until the sun goes down to start feelin' the love. Smoking a quick joint of this subtly sweet Sativa-dominant hybrid strain will get your day started right with an uplifting and invigorating buzz. It's light, fruity, and bubbly—kind of like an expensive bottle of champagne minus the headache.

2. Pink Kush

Pairs well with:Forgetting to pick up flowers.

It happens to the best of us. We get so caught up in the hustle that we forget to pick up a bouquet for that special someone. But don't sweat it. You'll make up for your transgressions (and then some) when you bring some Pink Kush home to your sweetie. Take a few puffs of this floral and fragrant Indica-dominant strain, and you'll both be filled with waves of relaxation, euphoria, and happiness. A.K.A., the perfect recipe for forgiveness.

3. Alice In Wonderland

Pairs well with:Pregaming a couple's massage.

Is there anything more sensual than a couple's massage? Before you two lovebirds head off for your appointment, consider pregaming your spa day with some Alice In Wonderland. This Sativa-dominant strain is a dreamy and lighthearted blend that is infamous for its cerebral effects. It offers the perfect balance of mental stimulation and physical relaxation, a combination that will have you melting into your masseuse's hands in no time.

4. Cookies & Cream

Pairs well with:Eating dessert for dinner.

It's no secret that the way to someone's heart is through their stomach. So why not skip dinner altogether and jump straight into the good stuff? Take a few hits of Cookies & Cream and get ready for a seriously delicious taste sensation. This uber-balanced hybrid strain has an addictively sweet flavor profile with notes of vanilla and nuts that will have you and your S.O. licking your lips for more. And with its energetic and uplifting effects, you'll be well on your way to a choco-date night full of laughs and cuddles.

5. Chocolate Kush

Pairs well with:"Why do you like me?"

Deep, vulnerable talks are an essential part of any relationship and moments like these call for a little extra tenderness. Make sure you have some Chocolate Kush on hand to help sweeten any potential seriousness. This heavy-hitting Indica strain will put your partner in an open and receptive mood with its combination of physical relaxation and mental clarity. And with its rich and chocolaty flavor, this strain will help any heart-to-heart conversations flow smoother than a river of melted dark chocolate.

6. Love Potion #1

Pairs well with: Putting the kids to bed early.

Not everyone is blessed with endless amounts of free time to cuddle and canoodle. But if you only have a few hours of free time, you can make the most of it with some Love Potion #1. This euphoric Sativa-dominant strain will quickly get you in the mood for some romantic interludes with its uplifting and energizing effects. Busy couples love it for being a serious libido booster—just the thing you need to make those stolen moments with your partner extra special.

7. Valentine X

Pairs well with:Makeup sex.

Look, not every Valentine's Day is blissful. Sometimes couples fight. But if your issues go unresolved for too long, it can put a serious damper on any attempts for romance. Thankfully, a few tokes of Valentine X can work wonders for restoring harmony. This calming hybrid is infamous for its ability to bring both mental clarity and emotional serenity thanks to its low THC dose (which has been shown to reduce anxiety). So if you two have been bickering over the remote or what restaurant to get take-out from, the effects of this strain will help you both make up and move on.

To Sum It Up

Valentine's Day celebrations don't have to be the same ole' routine. With the right cannabis strain, you and your partner can transform a mundane evening into an unforgettable experience full of love, laughter, and (of course) good vibes. Whether it's indulging in chocolates with Chocolate Kush or sparking up some Alice in Wonderland before a couple's massage, there are plenty of ways to spice things up—all it takes is some creativity and the right strain.

So this Valentine's Day, don't settle for ordinary. Instead, explore these seven cannabis strains and let your imagination run wild.
