The Differences Between Indica and Sativa Cannabis Strains


Differences Between Indica and Sativa

There are many choices to consider when selecting a strain of cannabis, and at OUTCO in San Diego, we have bud specialists to help find a strain for your treatment. One main category for cannabis is separating them into Indica or Sativa, and then hybrids that have the genetics of both. Indica and Sativa have some general differences that are accepted by cannabis connoisseurs:

Indica
• Originated in Higher altitudes
• Higher Yield per plant with shorter growing time
• Shorter and Fuller plants with broad leaves
• Fruity to Skunk Flavors
• Stronger Sedating
Treatment:
• Pain Relief
• Sleep Problems
• Migraines and Headaches
• Stress and Anxiety

Sativa
• Originated close to the equator.
• Less of a Yield and longer growing time
• Grow taller with narrow leaves.
• From Fruity to Cat Piss Flavor
• More uplifting
Treatment:
• Depression
• Increases focus and creativity
• Stimulates and Energizes
• Uplifting and euphoric thoughts

A New Way of Categorizing Cannabis

Jeffrey Taber, who has a Ph.D in Chemistry, was the first to test terepenes in cannabis in 2011. He theorizes that the differences in cannabis are less in whether they are indica or sativa, but more in the different terepenes within the strain of cannabis. Terepenes are like the fingerprint to the plant, rather than the CBD, THC content or name given to the plant that may be found to have been miscategorized. Terepenes are the flavor and taste, but also introduce the multitudes of benefits and effects that vary from one strain to another.

Within each strain their will be different amounts of CBD or THC and also vary on taste and aroma from the different growing conditions. Each strain effects the patient differently depending on body chemistry. The way in which the strain is given to the patient as well will vary the effects, such as vape pen, bong, joint, edible etc.

OUTCO is San Diego's only legally licensed medical marijuana dispensary offering store, free delivery and accepting credit cards.
