now decide if you want a sativa, indica or hybrid strain

There are two main types of cannabis: sativa and indica – or a hybrid that contains a combination of both.

SATIVA

 

  • Good choice if you need to medicate during the day and stay alert
  • Provide pain relieving effects without making you tired
  • For some, sativa strains may produce anxiety and may not be an effective treatment

INDICA

 

  • Good choice for those with strong chronic pain and insomnia
  • Pain relieving properties are felt more directly in the body
  • For some, indica strains may produce tiredness and would not be recommended for daytime use

HYBRIDS

  • Crossbred with various combinations of indica and sativa plants
  • There are even hybrids with a 50% sativa/50% indica – or a sativa dominant or indica dominant strains
  • Hybrids combine the effects of the two varieties
  • For example, a sativa dominant hybrid might be uplifting and give a patient good focus, but still retain strong body relaxation effects like an indica
  • Almost all common varieties of cannabis are a hybrid of some sort

You could have an even 50% sativa/50% indica hybrid, or you could have plants that are sativa dominant or indica dominant.These hybrids combine effects between the two varieties.
