Indica vs. Sativa: Know Your Marijuana Strains

Grower inspects marijuana plants

As the marijuana industry continues its boom, new and experienced users are sure to have questions about different products and their effects. Whether you’re interested in edibles, cannabis concentrates, or vapes, there are plenty of options that can help you get the effects you want in the form that best suits your needs. When it comes to indica vs. sativa strains, many prospective users may need more insight before deciding.

At Hello High Dispensary, our passionate and knowledgeable team of bud-tenders can help those in southern New Jersey understand these two strains and what makes each unique, so they can make informed choices when they shop cannabis products.

Understanding Marijuana Strains

Different marijuana blends provide different effects. Each cannabis strain provides a unique concentration of THC, CBD, and other compounds. While cannabis indica and cannabis sativa are widely considered the two main subspecies of the plant, growers have worked hard to breed different varieties, creating hybrids that add something new to the mix.

Indica vs. Sativa

Indica and sativa are the most popular strains for a reason. They provide outstanding and pleasurable effects that satisfy the needs of new and seasoned users. What’s more, they each provide something special.

Indica

This strain is typically associated with relaxation and a calm feeling. Indica was originally cultivated in cooler northern climates and is native to central Asia. These plants are short and feature bushy green leaves. Indica tends to grow quickly, and each plant produces a generous number of buds.

This strain provides several benefits, including pain-relieving qualities. Many users say it is good for arthritis, joint pain, nerve pain, and non-migraine headaches. It can also help those suffering from fatigue or insomnia, plus those who need to increase their appetites.

Sativa

Sativa, on the other hand, provides a more energetic high. Whereas indica helps you kick back and relax, sativa is great for when you need to get things done. These plants originate in hot, dry areas. The plants are tall and thin with leaves that extend out like fingers. Because of the plant’s imposing size, sativa takes longer to grow than indica plants.

Sativa is mostly considered a recreational type of marijuana. It provides a classic high to keep users feeling good. However, it can also help with stress, nausea, anxiety and depression, migraines, glaucoma, and other issues.

Hybrid Marijuana Strains

As is the case with other plants, many marijuana producers have begun to combine blends to create hybrids. These strains offer some of the benefits of indica and sativa since they are bred from indica- and sativa-descended plants. Because farmers breed them, they are typically found in greenhouses or on farms, meaning they aren’t native to any specific region.

Because the mix of indica and sativa plants isn’t always 50/50 for these blends, the exact breakdown will determine which effects will be more pronounced. For instance, if your strain has a higher percentage of indica, you’ll likely see more mellow and calming effects. Conversely, a hybrid strain with a higher sativa percentage will provide more of the energizing and euphoric aspects. Producers tend to craft unique blends to get the look, taste, or effects they and their customers want.
