      • Sativa

      The cannabis sativa medicating effect is often characterized as uplifting and energetic, providing a great cerebral experience. Sativas give a feeling of optimism and well-being, as well as provide a good measure of pain relief for certain symptoms. They are a good choice for daytime medication.

      • Indica

      The cannabis indica medicating effect is most often described as a pleasant body buzz. Indicas are great for relaxation, stress relief, and for an overall sense of calm and serenity. Indicas are also very effective for overall body pain relief, and often used in the treatment of insomnia. They are the late evening choice of many patients as an all night sleep aid.

      • Indica >
        Sativa

      This is a hybrid strain, meaning it has common qualities of both sativas and indicas. Indica dominant strains, however, will tend toward the indica medicating effects (relaxation of the body and mind, pain relief, sleep aid, stress reliever, etc.) but will also have some sativa qualities as well. With the many combinations and complex genetics of modern hybrids, it is impossible to generalize about the qualities of hybrids’ smoke, high, or other characteristics, which are truly dependent on the particular strain. Get to know each strain in order to understand its unique medicating effects.
