Types of Strains and Uses
Indica
Indica plants are short and stocky with bushy greenery and chunky leaves that grow wide and broad. They grow faster than sativa, and each plant produces more buds. Indica strains often have higher levels of CBD, but the THC content isn’t necessarily less. Indica is sought after for its intensely relaxing effects. It may also help reduce nausea and pain and increase appetite. Because of its deep relaxation effects, indica is better consumed at night.
Sativa
Sativa plants are tall and thin with finger-like leaves. They can grow taller than 12 feet, and they take longer to mature than some other types of cannabis. Sativa often has lower doses of CBD and higher doses of THC. Sativa often produces a “mind high,” or an energizing, anxiety-reducing effect. If you use sativa-dominant strains, you may feel productive and creative, not relaxed and lethargic. Because of its stimulating impact, you can use sativa in the daytime.
Hybrid
The appearance of hybrid strains depends on the combination of the parent plants. Many hybrid cannabis plants are grown in order to increase the THC percentage, but each type has a unique ratio of the two cannabinoids. Farmers and producers select hybrids for their unique impacts. They can range from reducing anxiety and stress to easing symptoms of chemotherapy or radiation. Hybrids are typically classified as indica-dominant (or indica-dom), sativa-dominant (sativa-dom), or balanced.
