Are you familiar with the different types of cannabis strains? If you’re new to the world of cannabis, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. That’s why we’ve put together a guide to help you understand the differences between Indica, Sativa, and hybrid strains.

Indica Strains

Indica strains are known for their relaxing and sedative effects. They tend to have higher levels of CBD and lower levels of THC, making them a popular choice for people looking to alleviate anxiety, pain, and insomnia. Indica strains are often described as having a “body high” that can leave you feeling calm and relaxed.

Some popular Indica strains include:

Sativa Strains

Sativa strains are known for their uplifting and energizing effects. They tend to have higher levels of THC and lower levels of CBD, making them a popular choice for people looking to boost their mood, creativity, and productivity. Sativa strains are often described as having a “mind high” that can leave you feeling focused and alert.

Some popular Sativa strains include:

  • Sour Diesel
  • Jack Herer
  • Green Crack
  • Durban Poison
  • Strawberry Cough

Hybrid Strains

Hybrid strains are a combination of Indica and Sativa strains. They can have varying levels of CBD and THC, depending on the specific strain. Hybrid strains are a popular choice for people looking for a balance of both Indica and Sativa effects. They can provide both relaxation and energy, depending on the strain.

Some popular hybrid strains include:

  • Blue Dream
  • Girl Scout Cookies

Experience the Effect of Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid strains

  1. Indica strains: Indica strains are typically known for their relaxing and sedative effects. They are often used by clients who want to unwind and de-stress after a long day or for those who struggle with anxiety or insomnia. Indica strains can provide a full-body high and are known for causing “couch lock,” which means the user feels too relaxed to move.
  2. Sativa strains: Sativa strains are generally associated with more uplifting and energizing effects. They can provide an uplifting and creative high that makes them ideal for use during the day. Sativa strains can increase focus and productivity and are often used by clients who need a boost in their creative endeavours or who struggle with depression or fatigue.
  3. Hybrid strains: Hybrid strains are a combination of both Indica and Sativa strains, resulting in a more balanced high. Depending on the ratio of Indica to Sativa, the effects of hybrid strains can vary. Some hybrid strains lean more towards Indica, providing a relaxing high with some uplifting effects, while others lean more towards Sativa, providing a more energizing high with some relaxing effects.
