Understanding Strains and Effects

From cannabinoids to terpenes, consumption methods to tolerance, many factors impact your cannabis experience. As a general rule, examining the strain type is one of the standard ways to predict how a particular strain will make you feel.

SATIVA HYBRID

Sativa and Sativa-dominant hybrids tend to produce cerebral, uplifting effects, making them suitable for relieving symptoms associated with mood disorders. These strains are ideal for starting your day or providing an energy boost when needed.

BALANCED HYBRID

Balanced hybrids offer a combination of body and cerebral effects, with the specific balance dependent on the parent strains. These options are great for consumption throughout the day, as they can provide a range of experiences.

INDICA HYBRID

Indica and Indica-dominant hybrids are recognized for their full-body, relaxing effects. These strains can help you unwind after a long day or prepare for a restful night. They are also known to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, and pain.

WHAT ARE TERPENES?

The sugary trichomes you see on your cannabis buds create terpenes! Not only do they help protect the plant as it grows, but terpenes also give each cannabis strain its signature aroma, taste, and medicinal effects.

While terpenes contribute to what makes each strain characteristically Sativa or Indica through the entourage effect, it’s the harmony of all the components of cannabis that shape the physical and mental experience. There is a certain synergy that occurs between the terpenes, producing both the psychological and pharmacological effects of your favorite strains.
