Cannabis Strains — Indica, Sativa & Hybrid

Frequently asked questions

• What is the difference between indica and sativa?

  Indica strains are typically associated with body relaxation and sedation — ideal for evening use. Sativa strains tend to produce more uplifting, energising and cerebral effects — better for daytime. These are general patterns, not absolute rules; individual cultivar genetics and cannabinoid/terpene profiles matter more than the "indica vs sativa" label alone.

• What is a hybrid cannabis strain?

  A hybrid is any cannabis strain bred from both indica and sativa parent plants. Most modern cultivars are hybrids, blending both body and cerebral effects. The ratio of indica to sativa genetics influences the effect profile.

• How do I choose between indica, sativa and hybrid?

  Consider the time of day and what you want to achieve. For sleep, relaxation or pain relief → try indica. For creativity, focus or social energy → try sativa. For balanced all-day use → try a hybrid. Cannabinoid content (THC/CBD ratio) and terpene profile are equally important choices.

• Do strain types affect THC content?

  No — indica, sativa and hybrid are classifications based on plant morphology and effect profile, not THC content. Both indica and sativa cultivars can be high or low in THC. Always check the THC percentage listed on each product.
