What is a Cannabis Strain?

As the cannabis plant spread throughout the world and acclimated to new environments, the physical and chemical characteristics began to change creating “landrace strains.” These are original strains that were enjoyed up until the 1970s when people bagan intentionally breeding strains together. The continuous cross-breeding of different male and female plants resulted in the now expansive variety of “strains” we see today.

Indica: Relaxing and calming effects, body high, recommended for nighttime use
Sativa: Energetic and uplifting effects, head high, can be more hallucinogenic, common for daytime use
Hybrid: Cross between Indica and Sativa strains can provide effects of both – this will vary depending on strains and indica or sativa dominate in the strain. Most strains today are some level of hybrid

Potency: The higher the THC percentage or (mg) dosage, the more intense your high will likely be. As with most aspects of cannabis, the effects of potency will vary based on your unique body composition.
