Indica and Sativa are the two main varieties of the cannabis plant used as medicine or for fun. There are many strains that are crosses of those two varieties. Within each of those varieties and crosses there are a huge number of individual strains, each with a different cannabinoid profile and effect. Whether your looking to get lazy or be up and ready, you will find out what kind of cannabis to smoke at the right times. The Indica strains are a relaxant, effective for anxiety, pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, sleep, muscle spasms and tremors, among other symptoms. The Sativa strains are more of a stimulant, effective in appetite stimulation, relieving depression, migraines, pain and nausea. With that I will get in to it more...
Lets start with my favorite
Sativa which produce many popular strains like my personal favorite
Northern Lights, Jack Herer,
Skunk #1, and
Silver Haze. If you are looking for a high that has you awake and energetic, than
Sativa is the strain for you. Sativa has a higher THC[
Tetrahydrocannabinol] than CBD[
Cannabidiol] equals cerebral, soaring type of high, more energetic. Yield is usually lower than Indica, but is very potent.
Sativa also gives
effective appetite stimulation aka
the munchies much more than
Indica. For medical use it helps with nausea, migranes, and for some depression.
Sativa are tall, thin plants, with much narrower leaves and grow a lighter
green in color. They grow very quickly and can reach heights of 20 feet in a single season. They originally come from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand and Southeast Asia. Once flowering has begun, they can take anywhere from 10 to 16 weeks to fully mature. Flavors range from earthy to
sweet and fruity.
How I love the taste of sweet and fruity buds.
Here are a couple pictures of
Sativa.
Now to the chilled out
"Lets just chill and watch a movie Brah". Inidca a strain for the smokers that love to just chill out, sit back and pop a movie in with a shit load of munchies. Some popular strains are
AK-47,
Afgani, and
Blueberry.
Indica strains are a relaxant, effective for anxiety, pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, sleep, muscle spasms and tremors, among other symptoms.
Indicas originally come from the hash producing countries of the world like Afghanistan, Morocco, and Tibet. They are short dense plants, with broad leaves and often grow a darker
green. After flowering starts they will be mature in 6 to 8 weeks. The buds will be thick and dense, with flavors and aromas ranging from pungent
skunk to sweet and fruity. The smoke from an
Indica is generally a body type stone, relaxing and laid back. Indica's higher CBD than THC equals a much heavier, sleepy type of high. Indica plants have a heavy, stony high that is relaxing and can help different medical problems. I would have to think that many cancer and patients with chronic pain would smoke Indica. Here are a couple of pictures of Indica...
