Strain” is a term used to describe a variety that has been bred to have a unique combination of chemicals and a specific lineage. Although the Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid categories give an idea of what to expect in terms of effects and growth patterns, individual reactions may vary.
Not all Sativas or Indicas are created equal. These classifications are useful for most consumers, but not all.
What is the difference between these categories of cannabis?
Indica:
Indica plants are known for their shorter, bushier stature. They also grow faster and yield more than Sativas. Indicas are known to have a higher ratio of CBD to THC. Historically, Indicas have been associated with sedative and relaxing effects, which is why they are often used at night.
Sativa:
The Sativa plant is taller and has narrower leaves, thriving in warmer climates. Usually, they have a higher THC to CBD ratio. Sativas have uplifting, cerebral effects, making them popular for daytime use.
Hybrid:
The name implies that hybrid strains are created by crossing Indica and Sativa, aiming to combine the best traits from each. The physical appearance of hybrids, their growth pattern, and chemical composition will vary depending on the parent strains.
Individual “strains” within these broad categories have been selectively chosen over time to display specific traits, such as flavor, aroma, or growth pattern.
