Cannabis sativa strains are known for their energizing and uplifting effects. They typically have higher levels of THC and lower levels of CBD compared to indica strains. Sativas are often associated with increased creativity, focus, and motivation, making them more suitable for daytime use.

Cannabis indica strains generally produce more relaxing and sedative effects. They tend to have higher levels of CBD and lower levels of THC. Indicas are often used for their calming effects, which can help with sleep, anxiety, and pain relief, making them better suited for evening or nighttime use.

Hybrid strains are a mix of both sativa and indica genetics. They are bred to combine the effects of both types, aiming to balance the energizing effects of sativa with the relaxing effects of indica. The specific effects of a hybrid strain can vary widely depending on its genetic makeup and the proportions of sativa and indica it contains.
