I get compensation for the products on my pages. All this information is purely educational.

If you are lost in the trees.

Here are some educational facts that you need to know. There are 3 categories of cannabis. First, is indica which is a subspecies of cannabis known for its relaxing and sedative effects, often producing a “body high.” It is characterized by short, bushy plants with broad, dark green leaves and a faster flowering cycle, making it ideal for indoor cultivation. Indica strains are commonly used for pain relief, stress reduction, and insomnia, as well as to stimulate appetite. Popular strains include Northern Lights and Granddaddy Purple, and they are best suited for nighttime use.

Secondly, sativa is a subspecies of cannabis known for its energizing and uplifting effects, often producing a “head high.” It is characterized by tall, thin plants with narrow, light green leaves and thrives in warm climates with longer growing seasons. Sativa strains are commonly used to boost energy, enhance creativity, and improve mood, making them ideal for daytime use. Popular strains include Sour Diesel and Jack Herer, often used to treat depression, fatigue, and chronic pain.

Thirdly, hybrid cannabis strains are crossbreeds of indica and sativa plants, offering a mix of their effects. They can be indica-dominant, sativa-dominant, or balanced, catering to diverse needs. Effects range from relaxation and pain relief (indica traits) to energy and creativity (sativa traits). Popular hybrids like Blue Dream provide versatile options for both recreational and medicinal use.

If you are feeling overwhelmed it’s okay we have all been there and done that. It is essential to know what kind of cannabis is most beneficial for you and your body. If you are accessing cannabis for the medical benefits it is best practice to know what strain to use for those conditions.
