The wonder of science is that, in the modern world, a sizable portion of the knowledge and research pertaining to cannabis is available to the general people; some of it is readily accessible online. Information is the key to a peaceful mind since knowledge is power.

While many people use cannabis for medical reasons, others use it recreationally, it is crucial to be educated first in both situations! As we all know, safety is our top priority, thus knowledge is especially important for newcomers!

If you regularly consume cannabis, you probably already have a good understanding of the various cannabis strains, their variations, effects, and hybrids.

Beginners who are only familiar with the fundamentals should keep in mind that there are other active substances besides THC and CBD. Other organic substances in cannabis, such terpenes, flavonoids, etc., affect how our body processes the well-known cannabinoids. When seeking particular results, people frequently choose one strain over another due to a phenomenon known as the entourage effect.

As you may already be aware, every strain is unique. However, there are three general classifications used to classify cannabis strains: 

• Indica – often known as calm strains 
• Sativa – sometimes known as energy strains 
• Hybrid – also known as a balance of both

Although Indica strains are mostly used to provide a chill and peaceful feeling, individuals typically take them at night to relax and have a better night’s sleep. People sometimes refer to the sensation as a “body high,” which makes them ideal for unwinding on the couch with a big snack before a restful night’s sleep.

Sativa strains, on the other hand, are known to have the opposite effect and are typically linked to a strong energy rush and more pronounced activity. People tend to rationally choose to take sativa throughout the day since it gives them a “head high,” in contrast to the indica effect. People frequently use sativa strains prior to any outside activities or yard maintenance because they are linked to alertness and inventiveness.

In light of all of this, the term “Hybrid” denotes that these strains deliver a combination of Indica and Sativa effects. Since cannabis breeding is not a new practice but rather an ancient one, most strains lie somewhere along the hybrid cannabis spectrum. Indica-leaning, Sativa-leaning, or balanced are the terms most frequently used to characterize them, depending on the precise combination of effects. As we learn more about terpenes and other cannabinoids, people are beginning to grasp how different cannabis strains will impact them. Hybrid strains can offer a wonderful combination of effects that isn’t too overbearing one way or the other.
