What Are Sativa Strains?

Sativa is one of the two main types of cannabis, with the other being indicas (hybrids are a mix of the two). The two types differ in appearance, composition, and effect.

Indicas are generally short and bushy with wide leaves, while sativa plants are the opposite, growing tall and thin, and capable of reaching 12 feet or more in height. They have narrower leaves that tend to be a lighter green in colour.

For cannabis consumers, the main difference between the two plants lies in the chemicals compounds they produce. Sativas generally produce more THC and less CBD compared with indicas. THC binds with cannabinoid receptors in the brain and produces a sense of euphoria. It is typically described as uplifting and energizing.

Sativas are known for being mentally stimulating and can be used during the day due to its energizing nature. It is often used in conjunction with social affairs, physical activity, and activities that are creative in nature.
