This is one of the most common questions in the wide world of weed. In this article we aim to tackle the subject head on to understand the origins and effects of these two strands of cannabis.
Indica plants have a small and thick appearance with wide growing leaves. This strain grows faster than sativa, and produces more buds per leaf. Cannabis Indica plants have their origins in the arid climates of Indo Asia and are adaptable to extreme temperature changes.
Indica is a strain of flower that is known for it’s relaxing and calming effect. THC products containing Indica support both physical and mental relaxation. In addition to promoting dopamine production and is known to relieve nausea and the symptoms of acute pain assocaited with many medical conditions. Some additional benefits of Indica are improved sleep as well as relief for aching bones and muscles.
Indica strains usually have higher amounts of CBD, however the THC levels are not necessarily less. Generally for best results it is reccomended that Indica is consumed at night.
Sativa plants are tall and lanky with skinny leaves and sharp ridges. These plants can grow with some as long as 13 feet. Due to their size these plants take longer to reach fruitition than their other cannabis cousins.
Cannabis sativa is mostly found in hot and humid climates with many sunny days. Including but not limited to Central America, Southeastern Asia, Western North America, and Sub Saharan Africa.
Sativa is a strain of flower that is known for “stimulating the mind” by supporting serotonin production. This uplifting strand generally enhances creativity, reduces depression, calms anxiety, and improves overall mood.
Some additional benefits of sativa can include an increase in appetite as well as, pain relief due to it’s anti-inflammatory properties.
Unlike it’s cannacousin Indica, Sativa usually has lower doses of CBD and higher doses of THC. For those who use THC products rich in Sativa report feeling more productive and creative and not tired.
Due to it’s stimulating effect generally for best results it is reccomended that Sativa is consumed during the daytime.
