Indica vs. Sativa

Is Indica or Sativa Right For Me?

Benefits of Indica

Indica strains are characterized by their short and thick stature, as well as their dark coloring. They are generally associated with a full-body feeling and have a reputation for providing relaxation and sedation. Indica products are often used to help relieve anxiety, stress, and muscle tension. Their calming effects can promote deep relaxation, making them beneficial for those struggling with insomnia. Indica strains may also have pain-relieving properties, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking relief from chronic pain or inflammation.

Benefits of Sativa

Physically, the Sativa strain is a tall and slim plant with light coloring. They are commonly associated with feelings of alertness, creativity, and a “head-high.” Sativa products are known for their uplifting and energizing effects, making them a popular choice for daytime use or when you need a boost of energy. These strains elevate focus, enhance motivation, and promote creativity. Use of these strands may be beneficial in social situations, during creative times, or just as an overall mood booster. 

How to Choose the Right Strain
