| 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:

• Originated
in Higher altitudes

per plant with shorter growing time
• Shorter and
Fuller plants with broad leaves

Skunk Flavors

Yield and longer growing time

with narrow leaves.
• From Fruity
to Cat Piss Flavor
• More
uplifting
Treatment:

• 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.
