Different strains of cannabis contain different levels of these two plants, which determines the effect it has on your body.
Cannabis plants are divided into two main types: Sativa and Indica. Both plants contain cannabinoids—the chemical compounds in the cannabis plant that gives it its medical and
recreational properties—but each plant contains different levels of these two compounds, which determines how it affects your body.
Cannabis strains containing a high concentration of Sativa typically have a tall, skinny shape and grow best under warm climates with long hours of sunlight. The effects of consuming strains that are
mostly Sativa includes feelings of euphoria and increased energy levels, though some consumers report paranoia or anxiety as an adverse effect. This can lead to an increase in nervous system activity when consumed in large quantities over an extended period of time.
Indica plants on the other hand tend to be shorter than their Sativa counterparts due to natural selection over millennia spent growing outdoors in cooler climates with shorter days. They also produce thicker leaves than their taller cousins which are generally darker green in color as well as
having more resin glands throughout each leaf that produces more THC content when smoked or vaporized by users today (though there was no way for us to know this until recently!). Indica strains
tend not only to cause relaxation but also to relieve pain because they contain higher amounts of CBN (cannabinol), one of many cannabinoid metabolites found naturally within cannabis plants without any psychoactive properties.
There are now hundreds of hybrids available in dispensaries, but traditionally you had to choose between a Sativa strain or an Indica strain.
For many consumers, there isn't much of a choice: they have to choose between a Sativa strain or an Indica strain. This was the case for most people until recently. As cannabis medicine has been
legalized in many states across the country, more and more dispensaries are carrying additional types of strains that can be used to treat ailments like chronic pain, anxiety, sleep disorders, and
depression. These new hybrids are made by crossing Sativas with Indicas (or vice versa), which means that their effects can be unpredictable.
The bottom line is that if you're looking for maximum relief from your symptoms—and not just relaxation—it's best to go with a hybrid instead of relying on pure Indica or Sativa strains alone.
Here’s what you need to know about these two types of cannabis, so you can make the best decision for your needs.
The difference between Sativa and Indica is that Sativas are thought to have a more cerebral effect, while Indicas are thought to have a more sedative effect.
Indicas tend to be more common in the medical marijuana community because they’re known for their ability to reduce pain and anxiety. Sativas, on the other hand, are used more often recreationally since they can provide you with an energetic buzz that can last hours.
Both types of cannabis plants produce flowers (buds) from which you can harvest your buds for consumption. The plant itself will grow differently depending on its strain and genetics—some may grow tall like trees while others stay short like bushes.
Conclusion
When it comes to choosing a strain of cannabis, there are a lot of factors to consider. First and foremost, you need to know that there are hundreds of different strains available at dispensaries today. What this means is that there’s something for everyone—whether you want a relaxing Indica high or an energizing Sativa buzz! This is a great article on different strains.
