One of the most common questions we get asked is: \u201cWhat\u2019s the difference between, indica, sativa, and hybrid strains?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


While symptoms from medical cannabis have much more to do with THC\/CBD levels and less with strain (more on that later), we can generally<\/em> understand how they interact when consumed based on the strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Here are the differences between the strains and what you need to know about each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sativa strains<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Known for the \u201chead high,\u201d most sativa strains are known to give users an energizing, \u201cbuzz\u201d feeling. Sativas commonly give cannabis users increased feelings of focus, creativity, and productivity, while decreasing anxiety<\/a> and stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In general, most sativa strains have lower doses of CBD and higher doses of THC. Since the THC levels give sativa that energizing feeling, users typically prefer using it during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The plants themselves are tall (12 feet+) and thin with long, finger-like leaves; and can often take longer to mature than some other types of marijuana. Sativa buds are usually less dense and feathery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
