Choice of strain makes all the difference.
In Canada, in order to purchase legally you need a medical marijuana license and you have to buy through a government sanctioned licensed producer (aka grower and holder of genetic material). We then have to purchase on-line and it is shipped to you through a courier or post office. This means, that we aren't allowed to see, smell or feel the plant material before we purchase it. It is a huge flaw in our current system. You can see and smell the material if you go to a dispensary but you run the risk of being caught and charged because it is currently illegal to buy plant material that way.
As a result, I do a lot of strain research before I buy. You can explore strains here:

These are generalizations but Indicas tend to be more sedative, so good at night time or when you don't need to work.
True Sativas are more energizing but the trade-off is often that they will create anxiety, paranoia and make you want to eat everything that isn't nailed down.
Hybrids can produce the best of both worlds, depending on what characteristics are listed as being dominant.
Some great daytime strains are: Girl Scout Cookies, Agent Orange, Bubba Kush and Super Lemon Haze.
