Indica vs. Sativa

Different strains offer different effects, so when choosing a marijuana strain, the first thing to consider is what effect you want it to have.

Indica strains are known for their relaxing, sedative effects, while sativa strains are used for stress relief and their energetic and uplifting effects. However, there are many different strains of each type, and each one can have different effects.

The best way to choose is to ask your dispensary budtender for recommendations based on the effect you want. They can help you find the perfect strain for your needs.

CBD vs. THC

THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis that gets you high, while CBD is the non-psychoactive compound that is said to have many medicinal benefits.

High THC strains will be more intoxicating and may not be ideal for someone new to cannabis. A high CBD strain will be less intoxicating and may be better for someone looking for the medicinal benefits of cannabis.

The ratio of CBD to THC is important to consider when choosing a strain.

Hybrid Strains

When looking for a hybrid strain of marijuana, it is important to pay attention to the indica to sativa ratio. This will give you an idea of the effects the strain will have.

If the ratio is 50:50, the effects will be balanced. If it is 60:40 indica to sativa, the strain will lean more towards indica effects. And if the ratio is 40:60 sativa to indica, the effects will be more sativa dominant.

Another thing to look for is the THC to CBD ratio. This will give you an idea of the psychoactive effects the strain will have.

A strain with a high THC to CBD ratio will be more potent and have more psychoactive effects. A strain with a low THC to CBD ratio will be less potent and have more body-relaxing effects.

Choose the strains that work best for you and that you enjoy the most.
