The Strains

---

Sativa

The cannabinoid profile of cannabis sativa is known for eliciting stimulating mental effects that tend to help users feel more focused and motivated. Some have even gone so far as to call the euphoric response produced by sativa a “cerebral” response, as sativa is also said to encourage deep conversation and enhance creativity. The stimulating nature of cannabis sativa makes it a strain that is most suited for daytime use, social situations, or for artistic endeavors.

Most users of cannabis sativa report some combination of the following effects:

Uplifting – Users feel their mood elevated, resulting in feelings of happiness and hope.

Creativity – Using sativa often results in individuals embarking on a creative endeavor, as the strain enhances creativity.

Energetic – Many feel a boost of energy after using sativa. This can result in an urge to go out and socialize.

Focusing – Some feel that they have a laser-like focus after using sativa, helping them better focus on the task at hand.

Cannabis sativa strains with a higher concentration of THCV may also be beneficial for promoting healthy appetite and eating habits to naturally encourage a healthier body composition.

Indica

There is a wide range of users who can benefit from using an indica strain, thanks to their primarily physical effects. Indica effects usually include the following:

• anti-stress
• stoney
• sedated and sleepy
• physically soothing

Some users turn to indica-dominant strains after strenuous activity like hiking, rock climbing, cross-training, and more to better manage their recovery. Others hope indica strains may help with more chronic concerns. Indicas are also ideal for nights spent in watching a movie or binge watching TV as a way to disconnect.

When used in higher amounts, indicas tend cause a relaxation that patients strongly prefer to stay sedentary. This incredible relaxation is good for unwinding from a long day or a busy week. People sometimes experience “couchlock” or the sensation of being stuck to the couch. Some of the heavier indicas are perfect for before bed, helping you to clear your mind and physically soften into sleep.

Hybrid

 Hybrid marijuana is an excellent addition to the diversity that makes up the world of cannabis plants alongside Indica and Sativa strains.   Hybrid marijuana is made by combining Indica and Sativa strains. Nowadays, marijuana strains available on the market are not always pure Sativa or pure Indica. Hybrid marijuana strains possess characteristics of the dominant parent with fewer features of the secondary variety. 

 Sativa dominant hybrids have features similar to Sativa strains that produce a cerebral high when consumed. Sativa hybrid strains provide balance to the physical and mental state easily. 

 Indica Dominant Hybrids produce the same effects to that of pure Indica strains. They are usually used for treating full-body pain and insomnia with its body and head-high attributes. 

 Even Hybrids strains of cannabis plants also called 50/50 hybrids are equally created using the Indicas and Sativas in the same ratio. These strains are perfect mixtures that affect the mind and body that customize the experience for the user.
