C-nnabis strains are often grouped into three categories: sativa, indica, and hybrid. But what do these terms actually mean? And how much do they really matter?
Here’s a simple breakdown to identify the differences⬇️
Traditionally, consumers were taught: Sativa automatically means a strain is “uplifting”, “energetic”, “strain for daytime” while indica was known to be “relaxing”,“body-heavy”, “strain for nighttime”.
Modern science shows that the sativa/indica labels don’t always predict effects. And that’s because effects have less to do with plant shape and more to do with cannabinoids + terpenes and the cocktail they make when they come together.
We’ll chat more about terpenes in a future post.
