With over 1,000 strains of cannabis available, it is critical that people are aware of the different types of efficacy available to them. Whether you’re using cannabis to address a health issue or simply looking for a mellow way to kick back, you should know the ins and outs of Sativa vs. Indica bud so you can choose your strain like a pro. As experts with all things cannabis-related, we at Fratelli & Co have written down the benefits of Indica and Sativa to help you choose the perfect strain for you. 

One of the best starting points for understanding which strain is right for you is understanding the difference between the two main varieties of cannabis, Indica, and Sativa. Each variety has its own range of effects on the body and mind resulting in a wide range of medicinal benefits. 

A. Indica 
Indicas have earned the nickname “in da couch” because they help you embrace your inner couch potato. They’re usually associated with a deep, to-the-bones kind of relaxation that is great for heavy-hitting pain relief and can also help with insomnia. Many people find that Indica helps with stimulating appetite and overcoming nausea. Because they can bring you a deep sense of relaxation, they may work better for certain kinds of anxiety than Sativa. For all these reasons, it makes sense to use Indicas at night or any other time you can take a break from your responsibilities and get into the chill zone.

B. Sativa 
Sativa is usually a good option if you’re looking to feel uplifted and inspired. People dealing with depression as well as those finding themselves in a creative slump can potentially benefit from it. Sativas with a decent amount of THC can be great for pain relief that won’t knock you out. Some people also find that Sativa relieves anxiety, but that depends on the dose. A little Sativa can help calm your nerves and focus your mind, while too much can actually make you anxious and even paranoid. Calibrating your perfect dose might take a bit of trial and error. 

Takeaway
Because of the differences between the two strains, it is important for you to look at the biochemical content of the individual strains to choose the strain most suited to your needs. Even within the specific strains, research has proven that there is a huge possible variation in THC content. Dispensaries can more simply organize their products. However, this categorization of Sativa vs. Indica is less cut and dry than one would assume. Fortunately, with such increased interest in cannabis and its list of potential benefits, constantly updated research continues to propel us toward a more educated understanding of these major strain classifications. From there, novices can continue to make more informed choices on what strain is best for them.
