Croissant, excellent topic and thread! I’ve been in the hunt for euphoric strains as well. I have found that my tastes tends to lean towards the Indica side of the spectrum. Sativa dominant strains seem to wig me out (Skunk#1 seems too edgy for me to enjoy). Unfortunately many Indicas seem to be better for sleep than for recreation because of their tendencies towards inducing couchlock and/or being demotivating in general. It very well may just be a matter of harvest timing with many of them.
In my limited experience I have stumbled upon a few strains that seem to produce waves of euphoria during the buzz:
Sour Bubble and certain Lifesaver phenos can be euphoric (both of which are bubblegum based)
Maple Leaf Indica seems to have a euphoric element to it
I haven't tried Blueberry yet, but as you had mentioned seems to be almost universally reported as inducing feelings of well being/euphoria. I have also read that Strawberry Cough, Burmese Sativa and Flo are good too. I’d like to check some of these as well as others that are mentioned in this thread.
The search continues........

First of all what is your definition of Euphoric?
Can a couchlock Indica be euphoric?
In general I don't like Indicas, Afghani's, Kush...
To me the best Euphoric varieties are Sativas, and they are also Clear, Up, Speedy, Cerebral, and Psychedelic, as well as no Ceiling. It is the terpenoids that determine the subjective effects, so smell and taste are very important. Potent as hell is also nice.
I have had Original Haze that was almost like acid, unexperienced smokers would white-out or pass-out, or throw up after a toke or two...
Oh, and it was Euphoric to say the least. I would feel like I was floating in a cloud, or held in the hands of a comfortable giant, I had no need for anything, I was totally blissed.
It helps a lot if you do not get paranoid from really strong weed, or if you like the feeling, then you can find and experience really really strong Sativas that are Euphoric to the max. Indica's just don't have the same effect on me, but I can't say if it is just my personal preferences or something that makes Sativas more Euphoric then Indica's to everyone.
I have gotten as stoned as can be on Afghani's, but never as Euphoric.

Sam, it's the paranoia I associate with sativas that have me heading towards indicaville. I can't stand the racy, up(like speed), totally introspective, and paranoid high anymore. I want to be stoned and happy without that. If I don't find that in indicas like Sandstorm, Kush, and Maple Leaf Indica it should be better for me. OTOH, if I find those just make me want to sleep, who knows if I'll like it. MJ has a real effect on my attitude and demeanor that is positive even a couple days after I smoke. But sometimes I'm afraid to light up to produce that glowing after effect because I don't want to spend 3-4 hours uncomfortable.

its more about harvest time.
harvest before you get amber, in cloudy stage, and you will have euforic high.
harvest when amber, and you get more CBD, which makes you sleepy.
second important factor is actual potency.
then which cannabinols it contains

One of the most euphoric for me was a Colombian Gold, it was extraordinary. The taste was unlike any other cannabis that I have ever had; it tasted of sweet cardamom and allspice. The high was intense and long lasting, very up.
The most paranoia inducing strain (I certainly consider it euphoric) was a Jamaican strain that resembled the descriptions I have read of Black Magic African. Black stringy greasy buds that smelled like something was rotting. The high was intense and unrelenting. It could be very intimidating for an unseasoned smoker. I have never had an indica that could hold a candle to these old sativas.

This is not true, the Cannabinoid ratio does not change during maturation. Either the plant makes CBD or it does not, the THC/CBD ratios don't change during flowering.

I've personally never really noticed a difference in effect from leaving a plant until the resin was amber - in terms of more 'narcotic' anyway. But most authorities seem to suggest that's the case.
Sam, if the ratios of THC to CBD don't change, and if I'm the one with the odd reactions, would the more narcotic effect many people experience be more likely to be produced from terpene degradation? As in the more volatile oils (if they're the more stimulating terpenes) are more likely to evaporate as the plant goes into senescence?

Maybe the cannabinoid ratio remains the same, but its my view that harvesting late will cause that stupor effect almost like taking a melatonin supplement with your weed. I wonder if it has something to do with the terpenoid composition changing??? Maybe its the flowering time differences that people associate the 2 different buzzes with sativas and indicas as its hard to take down a sativa way too late where the terpenoids change to induce the couchlock??

i have found org.bubblegum to be the most eurphoric, lots of laughter and giggling....also sour bubble is a nice relaxed euphoric high.
i first found out about bubblegums euphoric/laughing high from BOG back during the OG days, before he was selling beans.... that is why he got into creating his own BG's strains, cause he felt BG had the nicest high.... along with looks, uniformity/consistancy.

You are getting close to the truth, the terpenoid ratios do change.

Sam,
I respect your experience more than you know. How many days do you keep a Skunk #1 in 12/12 if you were most concerned about euphoric effects? I would tend to let the average Sk1 go about 80 days, but you'd obviously know best.
I'm curious because in my own experience, the smell of the pot is directly related to the kind of high experienced.

doesn't CBN effect the high of late matured flowers?
I think this is an important distinction. I think a lot of people are getting euphoria mixed up with body waves and the feeling of wellbeing that puts a big lazy grin on your face with actual euphoria which tends to feel like your heart is making it's escape through your mouth. Croissant mentioned heart and belly chakras opening, no idea what that means really but I agree that's where the feelings come from and it does feel like something being opened, trying to burst out.
I remember the nepjam gave me a new effect I hadn't experienced before I called it being Stevie Wondered, every time I smoke it I'd have eyes closed, head back swaying it from side to side with a huge grin on my face, even when other people were there
Seems strains with Nepalese genes are the way to go, why are there so few indoor crosses with Nepalese? Just satori and nepjam I know of.
