Sativa and Indica are the two main varieties of the cannabis plant which can be cross-bred to create a hybrid. Each strain has its own range of effects on the body and mind resulting in a wide range of medicinal benefits.
The effects produced from consuming an indica is typically described as a strong physical body high that will make you sleepy or ‘couch-locked’ and provides a deep relaxing feeling compared to a sativa. Sativas are known to produce a more energetic and uplifting effect.
Marijuana strains range from pure sativas to pure indicas to hybrids consisting of both indica and sativa at varying ratios (e.g. 60/40, 50/50, 80/20). Because sativas and indicas have different medicinal benefits and effects, certain strains are better suited to treat specific symptoms and illnesses.
Indica-dominant marijuana strains tend to have a strong sweet or sour odor to them providing a very relaxing and strong body high that is helpful in treating general anxiety, body pain, and sleeping disorders.
Indicas are very effective for overall pain relief and is often used to treat insomnia for many people. Indicas are most commonly consumed in the late evening or right before bed due to their sleep-inducing effect.
Benefits of Indica:

Sativa-dominant marijuana strains tend to have a more grassy type smell providing an uplifting, energetic and “cerebral” high that is best suited for daytime smoking.
