There is a lot more to cannabis than people think. As legalization spreads, there are much more people smoking marijuana. These people assume that there is just marijuana to smoke, but that is not the case. Cannabis strains fall into three categories: Sativa, Indica, and hybrids. Let’s look at the three and their differences. These three strands are broken into three colors: purple, maroon, and green.
The purple stand for the Indica, the maroon stands for the Sativa, and the green represents the hybrid. The first main difference comes in the effects. For instance, Indica is usually known for being more relaxing and having an effect on the full-body. On the other hand, Sativa usually lifts you up and provokes creativity. Because of this difference, most people tend to look out for Sativa during the day and indica during the nighttime.
There are also difference medicinal benefits. Indica typically helps people that have insomnia or are suffering from some type of pain. On the other hand, Sativa is used for people suffering from depression, fatigue, or even ADD. Why are these differences there? Well, these differences exist because of the origins of the plants.
Indica plants are usually shorter and bushier and are found in rougher climates such as mountains. In addition, they also have higher resin production. Indicas are great for indoor cultivation for these reasons as well as shorter flowering time. Sativa is taller, take longer to grow, and survive in warmer climates. That’s why they are best found outdoors.
But what about hybrids? Hybrids can have various effects since it is a mixture of both Indica and sSativa. Some cultivators are even able to mix the two together and have the exact impact that a consumer may want or need. For instance, a hybrid can make you both relaxed and creative. Now, if you are ever looking to buy legal marijuana, you can know the differences and what you are going to experience.
