Indica

Indica strains are known for their relaxing and soothing effects. They’re great for relieving stress and anxiety, and they can also be helpful for treating pain and insomnia. Many describe Indica strains as providing more of a body high. However, they can also cause drowsiness and a “couch-lock” effect. Because Indica strains can be so relaxing, they may be best for use at night or before bed.

Indica cannabis plants originated in the dry climates of Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan. When it comes to the flower, the buds tend to be a lot denser than Sativa. They have broad, dark leaves and are short and bushy.

Common reasons people use Indica include:

  • Relieving stress and anxiety
  • Treating pain
  • Helping with insomnia
  • Increase appetites

Sativa

Sativa strains are known for their energizing and uplifting effects. They’re great for boosting creativity and productivity, and they can also be helpful for treating depression and chronic fatigue. Many describe Sativa strains as providing more of a head high. However, they can also cause paranoia and anxiety in some people. Because Sativa strains can be so stimulating, they may be best for use during the day or when you need to be alert.

Sativa cannabis plants originated in the hot, humid climates of Central America and Mexico. The buds on Sativa plants tend to be a lot looser than Indica, and they have long, thin leaves and are tall and lanky.

Common reasons people use Sativa include:

  • Energizing and uplifting effects
  • Helping with depression
  • Treating chronic fatigue
  • Increasing creativity

Hybrid

Hybrid strains are a cross between Indica and Sativa strains. They provide the best of both worlds, offering the benefits of both types of cannabis. Hybrid strains can be great for treating a variety of conditions, and they’re also a good option for people who don’t want to choose between Indica or Sativa.
When it comes to hybrids, there isn’t one specific type that’s right for everyone. Some hybrids are more Indica-dominant, while others are more Sativa-dominant. It’s important to experiment with different strains to find the one that’s right for you.
