Indica vs Sativa vs Hybrid
It’s estimated that marijuana has been used for more than 12,000 years. Over this time, evolution has resulted in two distinctly different types of marijuana: indica and sativa. Although modern growing techniques have made pure sativa and pure indica very rare to find, there are still many users who prefer one type over another. Whether you prefer sativa-dominant strains, indica-dominant strains, or can’t tell the difference, it’s still wise to know the key differences between the two types and the effects this may have on your high.
Controlling Your High
The vast majority of marijuana users are seeking a specific experience when consuming cannabis, whether that’s heightening creativity or aiding sleep. It’s generally understood that sativas will energize you and indicas will sedate you. However, most scientists agree that there is no drastic difference between indica and sativa. Instead, use each strain’s cannabinoids and terpene structure to best predict the effects it will have on you. Your high can also be affected by factors such as biological tolerance and method of consumption. If you want to best control your high, consult Lucky Farms’ customer service team for tailored product recommendations.
The Basic Differences
- Indica has broad leaves and shorter flowering cycles. Some users find it to have a relaxing effect that is generally preferred for nighttime use.
- Sativa has tall, narrow, fanned-out leaves. It generally makes people feel more energetic, which makes it more popular for daytime use.
- Hybrid strains can have a wide range of effects, depending on many factors including whether they are indica-dominant or sativa-dominant. However, the best predictor of effects is each strain’s cannabinoids and terpene structure.
- It is rare to find a purely sativa or purely indica strain. The vast majority of commercially available strains will be hybrids that are indica-dominant or sativa-dominant.
