Knowing which type of Cannabis you want to ingest will help you achieve the proper medicinal effects and a comfortable experience
SATIVAS vs. INDICAS Sativa strains are known for their energizing properties and euphoria. While most patients enjoy sativas in the morning or daytime, they are acceptable for use whenever one isn’t trying to sleep. The effects associated with sativas are great for social outings, and can make everyday activities much more pleasurable. Sativas can make you feel giggly and happy!
Indica strains are known for a more pronounced body sensation with less of a cerebral stimulation, though a heavy “medicated” mental state often comes with indica strains. Indicas are best for later in the day/night time use, and are optimal for pain relief and relaxation. If you ever wondered what kind of a strain left you couchlocked, it was an indica.
