What is the difference between indica and sativa buds, and why should I care?
When we are talking about the difference in the buds, we aren’t speaking of the physical differences. There are differences between indica cannabis plants and sativa cannabis plants. Indicas are shorter and stouter, the little teapots of the marijuana world. Sativas are taller and leaner plants, often needing to be topped when you are growing them indoors. That’s less about the buds, though. The buds, physically speaking, have fewer inherent differences. However, if you see purple in a cannabis plant’s buds, it’s probably an indica, or at least had indica parentage. We will get further into that soon enough. When you take indica buds or sativa buds and smoke them, though, you are going to get strikingly different smoking experiences. This is why the difference between indica and sativa buds matters. Depending on the type of marijuana strain you have, using marijuana can really yield striking results.
What is the difference between indica and sativa buds and how they will make me feel?
Let’s say you’ve decided to smoke an indica strain. Get ready to relax, and maybe feel glued to the couch. Indicas are relaxing and chill you out. They give you laid-back vibes. Want to feel a sense of calm and ease? An indica is the way to go. Indicas relax your mind, but also your body. They are also great for sleeping. Of course, those sedative effects can lead to couch lock or dozing off in the middle of your day. That’s why indicas make for great nighttime strain, and also why they are used less often for social smoking experiences. As such, indicas also have more of a medical aura to them. Indica doesn’t necessarily make for a fun hang, but these strains do make for pain relief, insomnia relief, and a lot more good stuff along those fronts. That’s indica, now what about sativa? It’s on the opposite side of that coin. Sativas are energizing and uplifting. Some even feel euphoric when they use sativas. These strains are favored by social smokers. They don’t leave you glued to the couch or feeling sedated. Creative-minded smokers often use sativas, and the strains are known for their heady highs. Like to wake-and-bake? Then sativas are for you. Now, that means sativas don’t make for a great nighttime experience. They can keep you awake. Too much of a sativa can also lead you down the path to paranoia. Everything in moderation, right? Sativas can also help medicinally, mostly on the emotional health front. These strains are used for depression, anxiety, and more.
What is the difference between indica and sativa buds and their most-popular strains?
In terms of pure indicas and pure sativas, two strains stand out. Critical Purple is a powerful indica, coming in at well over 20 percent THC. Take it easy on this strain! Using it sensibly, though, will bring you deep relaxation, which is a big reason why it’s one of our most popular strains full stop, not just among indicas. Co
