# The Discover Page

> Explore the Discover page on thisiswhyimhigh.com — browse strains by High Family, explore curated highlight lists, and find your next favorite strain.

## Overview

The **Discover page** at [thisiswhyimhigh.com/discover](https://thisiswhyimhigh.com/discover) is your guided entry point into the strain encyclopedia. Rather than presenting all 16,000+ strains at once, Discover organizes them into meaningful categories — High Families, curated highlight lists, and effect-based collections — so you can explore with purpose.

Think of it as the difference between searching a library catalog and having a knowledgeable librarian point you to the right shelf.

## High Family Sections

The centerpiece of the Discover page is the **High Families** — six categories that group strains by their terpene-driven effects rather than the outdated indica/sativa classification.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Relaxing High" icon="couch">
    Sedating strains for deep body relaxation and sleep. High in myrcene and caryophyllene with elevated CBD.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Uplifting High" icon="sun">
    Mood-elevating strains for anxiety relief and daytime use. Dominated by limonene and linalool.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Energetic High" icon="bolt">
    Energizing strains for focus and mental clarity. Rare terpinolene/ocimene-dominant profiles found in less than 5% of cultivars.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Relieving High" icon="heart-pulse">
    Therapeutic strains for pain and inflammation. High in caryophyllene — the only terpene that binds CB2 receptors.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Balancing High" icon="scale-balanced">
    Mild, well-balanced strains ideal for beginners. Low terpene content with moderate CBD for gentle effects.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Entourage High" icon="rainbow">
    Complex, potent strains with the highest total terpenes. Balanced myrcene/limonene/caryophyllene for maximum entourage effect.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Each family section on the Discover page shows a curated selection of representative strains with their key data — type, dominant terpenes, THC/CBD ranges, and primary effects. Click any strain to visit its full profile in the encyclopedia.

<Tip>
  Not sure which High Family fits you? Start by thinking about your primary goal: relaxation, mood elevation, energy, pain relief, a gentle introduction, or a complex full-spectrum experience. The right family follows from there. See the full [High Families guide](/guides/cannabis/high-families) for detailed descriptions.

## Curated Highlight Lists

Beyond the High Families, the Discover page features curated lists that surface interesting strain groupings. For the full curated collections experience, visit the dedicated **Highlights Hub** at [thisiswhyimhigh.com/highlights](https://thisiswhyimhigh.com/highlights) — 35 collections organized by theme with a single click to filter results.
