People often love to ask experts about the different strains and kinds of weeds that can give maximum pleasure. Experts are very happy to convey knowledge about different weed strains and how good they can be. But they often find themselves in difficulty when people start to segregate these strains into stronger and less strong strains when the actual problem they face is with the way of consumption.
Unfortunately, this has led to people circulating misinformation about the different strains of weed. The technique of smoking a particular strain might be wrong, which leads to people making unwanted judgments about the strain. Many might have heard about the misconception that has been floating around, which speaks about Indica strain being stronger in providing a high while Sativa being stronger in delivering energy. If you have heard this and believe it to be true, you have a lot more to know about both strains.
If you don’t want to look like a noob, here is the cheat sheet that would help you understand the differences between Indica and Sativa.
Indica weed
Many people don’t prefer Indica seeds for growing the weed crop in their garden as they believe that consumption of this weed is a lot more intoxicating when in truth, it gives you only as much pleasure as you could expect from weed. The reason behind this belief system is the misinformation that the Indica weed has a high THC content as compared to Sativa. This belief is completely untrue.
Decades back when people used to consume this weed, this might have been true, but after the era of hybridization and repetitive experimentation on making the weed better yielding and ready to provide unmatched results, the fact of Indica being much stronger than Sativa and giving a stronger high has changed. Any and every strain that is available today in the market is basically a hybrid of both the weeds for best results. Today if you want sativa seeds or indica seeds, the only difference is one can be Indica dominant while the other can be Sativa dominant.
Appearances
When it comes to the looks, Indica weed plants have a much darker looking shade of dense and wide leaves. The trees grow to a shorter length and are much busier than their counterparts.
Effects
The levels of a terpene called myrcene are quite high in Indica dominant weed, and hence the feeling of body high is attached to the Indica strain. Although strains like Blueberry Kush, black widow, and California dream are known for creating body buzzing effects, it would be a bit surprising for you to know that the THC levels in the Indica strain are comparatively lesser than Sativa. still, the effects that you feel are a bit high and depends on how you are consuming the weed
Sativa weed
The Sativa weed is mostly known for its energizing effects instead of euphoric ones. This is why people believe that Sativa weed probably has less THC as compared to its counterpart, which is untrue again. There might be some truth in the energizing effects of this weed, but the reason behind this is not low levels of THC. In fact, these levels are actually more than the Indica weed.
Again it is not correct to connect a weed strain with a particular kind of effect when in reality, the result is completely dependent on the technique of consumption. This weed is seen to be used more by people who are suffering from ADHD, depression, or anxiety. They believe the relaxation from this weed is very effective.
Appearances
With the longest flowering cycles, the Sativa weed gives you more of a heady high feeling on consumption. The plants tend to grow much longer in height, and the leaves of these plants are a bit thinner and less dense as compared to their Indica counterparts. Even the color of the leaves is not as dark as that of Indica; these are a light green shade.
Effects
The Sativa weed is known to provide you with a good euphoric feeling and a relaxed mind. The effects of this weed consumption are very energizing and can give you a feeling of positivity if consumed properly. The consumption technique is very important in either of the weeds. Both of them can provide you with good amounts of relief and psychedelic effects when taken in the right quantity and in the proper manner. You can also take the help of this weed if you have to go through a presentation or you are planning to write a blog.
Takeaway
Whenever you are planning on consuming a weed, be it Indica or Sativa, you have to first have proper knowledge about both the weeds. You must consider not listening to all the myths that revolve around these and start learning why and how these weeds react with your body to provide you pleasure and relaxation.
