Indica and Sativa strains have their own range of effects on the body and mind, resulting in a wide range of medicinal benefits. Indica strains generally provide a sense of deep body relaxation, while Sativa strains tend to provide a more energizing experience.

Physical Appearance

Sativa strains are taller plants than their short-statured Indica relatives. The most common characteristics of Sativa plants are that they possess narrow leaves, have longer flowering cycles, and are best conditioned for warmer climates with a long duration.

Indicas are essentially the opposite; they have broad leaves, a shorter flower cycle, and are best suited for short-seasoned cold climates.

THC and CBD Content

Lab results demonstrate that Sativa only yields 0.4% more THC than Indica. As far as CBD is concerned, Indicas produce an average of 0.4% more than Sativas. Put simply, it signifies that the cannabis strain itself is often negligible when it comes to the amount of THC and CBD produced. The content of THC and CBD will often vary drastically between plants.

What is the Difference-Maker?

Aside from personal experience, the dosage, potency, and profile of the chemical within the cannabis strain itself are what matter most. Dr. Ethan Russo, the director of R&D at the International Cannabis and Cannabinoids Institute in Prague, asserts that the nomenclature between the two strains is inaccurate for determining CBD and THC content. We should instead rely on both the cannabinoid and terpenoid profiles over taxonomic labels. Sound science should trump marketing buzzwords. If you’re seeking a euphoric experience, you’ll want to purchase a strain that has a nice balance of both THC and CBD in it. If you want something that can help manage your pain, a strain abundant in CBD will do the trick.

Conclusion

Claims of Sativas and Indicas producing higher amounts of CBD or THC based on their type of strain are false. The plant strains are being used as marketing buzzwords, rather than accurate descriptors of what the strains have to offer. At the end of the day, the important factors for finding the right experience are going to be the dosage, chemical profile, and potency behind the chemical structure. Consider the above information when making your next cannabis purchase.

See what your neighbors are saying about Sacred Garden

You gotta stop by Sacred Garden, they grow the best cannabis! Beyond the fact their strains are consistently more potent in THC than any dispensary in New Mexico, it’s the consistently-robust terpene profiles that elevate their flower to another level…

This is *the* best dispensary in Santa Fe, hands down. It’s super clean and chic, the bud is phenomenal, and don’t even get me *started* on the staff!! All of the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and kind, though I will say that Keynan is THE BEST BUD TENDER IN THE STATE….
