Sativa plants have tall and thin leaves and thrive in temperate regions closer to the equator. Sativa is a favorite of people who use cannabis for medical reasons as it has been known to relieve issues such as depression, ADD and mood disorders.

Hybrid Strains
Hybrid strains have fairly equal amounts of key terpenes. They are created by combining both sativa and indica strains for flowers that have characteristics of both strains of cannabis. Hybrid strains are, unsurprisingly, used to treat complex health issues. This strain is perfect for illnesses such as anxiety and depression combined. Hybrid strains can also be used to calm chronic pain issues while still giving you the energy to complete tasks. Blue Dream and Cherry Pie are both excellent variations offered for sale.

Indica plants have short and bushy leaves and can withstand much harsher growing conditions. This plant has a calming and somewhat sedative effect and is known for providing relief from a variety of symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is just one of many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant and CBD also makes up a sizable portion.
