The Basics: Indica vs Sativa
If you're new to cannabis, you've probably heard terms like 'indica' and 'sativa' thrown around. But what do they actually mean? Let's break it down.
Indica Strains
Effects: Relaxing, calming, sedating Best For: Evening use, relaxation, sleep Common Feeling: 'Body high', couch-lock
Indica strains are known for their relaxing effects. They're great for winding down after a long day or helping with sleep.
Sativa Strains
Effects: Energizing, uplifting, creative Best For: Daytime use, social activities, creativity Common Feeling: 'Head high', energetic
Sativa strains provide more energizing effects. Many people use them during the day for a boost of creativity or energy.
Hybrid Strains
Effects: Balanced combination Best For: Versatile use, customized effects
Hybrids combine characteristics of both indica and sativa. They can be indica-dominant, sativa-dominant, or balanced.
