If you have spent any time researching cannabis strains, you have likely come across the terms Indica and Sativa.
The popular definition for the two is that Indica strains are what give you more of a relaxed body high feeling, and Sativa strains are what produce more of a euphoric, uplifting high. While this is a good way to remember the two, the truth is that most cannabis strains available today are actually a hybrid form of the two, and exist somewhere on a spectrum. Different cannabis strains have different levels of cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are compounds found in cannabis plants that bind to the cannabinoid receptors in our brain. The most common two cannabinoids are THC and CBD, but there are over 100 known cannabinoids. Another compound found in the cannabis plant is terpenes. Terpenes are found in all living plants, and are responsible for their distinct smells, like lemon and pine. Recent research has lead us to believe that terpenes are responsible for the way that cannabinoids get delivered to our brain, which is why cannabis strains with similar THC content can produce dramatically different effects. When shopping for cannabis strains, it is helpful to know what kind of experience you are looking for; if you are looking for pain or inflammation relief then you may want to pick cannabis strains more on the Indica side of the spectrum, but if you are looking for a more euphoric, creative feeling high, then you may want to pick a strain more on the Sativa side of the spectrum.
