About Sativa

Sativa cannabis strains are traditionally associated with uplifting, cerebral and energising effects — ideal for creative work, social activities and daytime use. Originating from equatorial regions including South America, Central America and Southeast Asia, sativa plants grow tall and thin with narrow leaves and longer flowering cycles. Many users report improved focus, euphoria and motivation from sativa-dominant strains.

Note: High-THC sativa strains can cause anxiety or racing thoughts in sensitive users. Start low and go slow — especially with unfamiliar cultivars.
