Indica vs. Sativa: Exploring the Differences

Cannabis strains can be broadly categorized into two types: indica and sativa. Each strain has distinct characteristics and produces unique effects on the body and mind. Here's a quick breakdown of their key differences:

Indica:

  • Body-focused effects that promote relaxation and sedation
  • Generally higher in CBD and lower in THC
  • Ideal for nighttime use or alleviating stress and anxiety
  • Common characteristics include short, bushy plants with broader leaves

Examples of Indica Strains:

  1. Granddaddy Purple 
  2. Blueberry Kush 
  3. Northern Lights

Sativa:

  • Stimulating and uplifting effects that encourage creativity and focus
  • Generally higher in THC and lower in CBD
  • Ideal for daytime use or promoting energy and socialization
  • Common characteristics include tall, slender plants with thin leaves

Examples of Sativa Strains:

  1. Sour Diesel 
  2. Jack Herer 
  3. Durban Poison

Consuming Cannabis: Smoking vs. Edibles

There are numerous ways to consume cannabis, and each method produces different effects. Two popular methods include smoking and consuming edibles.

Smoking Cannabis:

  • Immediate onset of effects
  • Easier to control and monitor dosages
  • Generally less potent than edibles
  • Shorter duration of effects

Consuming Edibles:

  • Delayed onset of effects
  • Full-body, long-lasting experience
  • Potentially more potent than smoking
  • Easy to consume discreetly

Whatever your preferred method, we always recommend starting with a low dose and gradually increasing as you become more familiar with a strain's effects.
