Indica, Sativa & Hybrid: Understanding the Basics​

  • SATIVA strains are energizing with uplifting cerebral effects that pair well with physical activity, social gatherings, and creative projects. 

    • Energetic and will make you productive. Sativa is great for physical activity, going for a hike, completing a task, cleaning, and anything that requires focus. 

  • INDICA strains are physically sedating, perfect for relaxing with a movie or as a nightcap before bed.

    • Calm and relaxing, great for chilling out at the end of the night, watching a movie or listening to music, taking a nap, or just staring at the wall.

  • HYBRID strains are thought to have a mix of indica and sativa effects.

Cannabis Strains are broken down into three broad chemical profile types:

  • Type I: high THC, low CBD

  • Type II: balanced, or equal parts of THC and CBD (like 1:1 cannabis strains)

  • Type III: high CBD, low THC

 

 Type I (THC-dominant strains):

  • High THC/low CBD, and are great for people seeking a potent euphoric experience. 

    • These strains are also selected by patients to treat:

      • Pain

      • Depression

      • Anxiety

      • Insomnia, and more. 

Type II (Balanced THC/CBD strains, or 1:1 strains):

  • Contain similar levels of THC and CBD, offering mild euphoria alongside symptom relief.

    • These strains tend to be a good choice for inexperienced consumers seeking an introduction to cannabis’ signature high.

Type III (CBD-dominant strains):

  • High CBD/low THC, and are widely used by those highly sensitive to THC or patients needing clear-headed symptom relief because of their low levels of THC. 

  • If you tend to feel anxious with THC-dominant strains or dislike other side affects associated with THC, try a strain with high levels of CBD.
