While browsing and shopping for Cannabis, you may notice that they are broken up into three different categories – Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid. While Indica often leaves you sedated and “in da couch”, sativa strains offer a euphoric uplifting high. Hybrids, as you may have guessed, offer a bit of both! Indica vs Sativa, what are the differences? Let’s get into it.
Sativa:
Sativa offers an energetic and uplifting high, making it perfect for daytime usage. This strain of medicinal marijuana is known to make patients giggly and feel euphoric. It is also used to promote and stimulate creative thoughts.
Sativa leaves are thin and light green in color. They take anywhere from 12-16 weeks until fully harvestable and grow up to 20ft. The bud itself offers a light, sweet, grassy smell.
This specific strain is often used to combat anxiety, ADD/ADHD, nausea, and mental health disorders characterized by feelings of worry and/or fear.
Indica:
Indica weed offers a full body relaxation high that is perfect for patients with chronic pain and sleep disorders. The strain leaves you feeling ‘stoned’ and ‘in-da couch’.
The physical composition of this strain include short and dense dark green leaves, which grow anywhere from 3-4ft. Indica bud has a strong, dense smell.
Indica is the perfect strain for many patients as it is used for loss of appetite, chronic pain, nausea, anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasms and much more.
In conclusion, there are many differences when it comes down to Indica vs Sativa. From the high itself, to the physical composition and overall look of the bud.
