Let's explore the diverse and fascinating world of cannabis together!

The Basics

To start with, the first definitions you will want to learn about are the three main categories cannabis strains are divided into. These categories are: Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid. Read on to learn the basics of each of these.

Sativa

Sativa is a type of cannabis plant known for its tall, thin structure and narrow leaves. It typically grows in warm climates and is associated with uplifting and energizing effects, making it popular for daytime use. Sativa strains are often used to enhance creativity, focus, and social activities.

Indica

Indica is a type of cannabis plant characterized by its short, bushy stature and broad leaves. It generally grows in cooler climates and is known for its relaxing and sedative effects. Indica strains are commonly used for nighttime use to aid in sleep, reduce anxiety, and relieve pain.

Hybrid

Hybrid refers to a cannabis plant that is a crossbreed of both Sativa and Indica strains. Hybrids can exhibit characteristics of both parent strains, resulting in a wide range of effects. They are bred to combine the best traits of Sativa and Indica, offering a balanced experience that can be tailored to specific needs and preferences.
