Indica Vs. Sativa
This post was written by T Click here to read his blog and Click here to read more by this author
Indica and Sativa are the two main varieties of the cannabis plant used as medicine or for fun. There are many strains that are crosses of those two varieties. Within each of those varieties and crosses there are a huge number of individual strains, each with a different cannabinoid profile and effect. Whether your looking to get lazy or be up and ready, you will find out what kind of cannabis to smoke at the right times. The Indica strains are a relaxant, effective for anxiety, pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, sleep, muscle spasms and tremors, among other symptoms. The Sativa strains are more of a stimulant, effective in appetite stimulation, relieving depression, migraines, pain and nausea. With that I will get in to it more…
Lets start with my favorite Sativa which produce many popular strains like my personal favorite Northern Lights, Jack Herer, Skunk #1, and Silver Haze. If you are looking for a high that has you awake and energetic, than Sativa is the strain for you. Sativa has a higher THC [Tetrahydrocannabinol] than CBD[Cannabidiol] equals cerebral, soaring type of high, more energetic. Yield is usually lower than Indica, but is very potent. Sativa also gives effective appetite stimulation aka the munchies much more than Indica. For medical use it helps with nausea, migranes, and for some depression. Sativa are tall, thin plants, with much narrower leaves and grow a lighter green in color. They grow very quickly and can reach heights of 20 feet in a single season. They originally come from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand and Southeast Asia. Once flowering has begun, they can take anywhere from 10 to 16 weeks to fully mature. Flavors range from earthy to sweet and fruity.How I love the taste of sweet and fruity buds.
Here are a couple pictures of Sativa.
Now to the chilled out “Lets just chill and watch a movie Brah”. Indica a strain for the smokers that love to just chill out, sit back and pop a movie in with a shit load of munchies. Some popular strains are AK-47, Afgani, and Blueberry. Indica strains are a relaxant, effective for anxiety, pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, sleep, muscle spasms and tremors, among other symptoms. Indicas originally come from the hash producing countries of the world like Afghanistan, Morocco, and Tibet. They are short dense plants, with broad leaves and often grow a darker green. After flowering starts they will be mature in 6 to 8 weeks. The buds will be thick and dense, with flavors and aromas ranging from pungent skunk to sweet and fruity. The smoke from an Indica is generally a body type stone, relaxing and laid back. Indica’s higher CBD than THC equals a much heavier, sleepy type of high. Indica plants have a heavy, stony high that is relaxing and can help different medical problems. I would have to think that many cancer and patients with chronic pain would smoke Indica. Here are a couple of pictures of Indica…
Don’t get me wrong I love get blown to the point where I can’t get up. But I would much rather be energetic and smoke on Sativa. Sativa is my kind of smoke. Now what kind of strains would we get if we mix Sativa and Indica. You get great strains such as Master Kush, Master kush x Northern light[which sounds amazing], and New York Diesel.Hmmmm lets take a look….

Awesome Post. I live in Michigan, and AK-47 is like an urban legend around here. One of my friend's has smoked it and still today says its the best weed he's ever smoked. I wish i could get my hands on some. And I personally use Sativa to help with some of my depression symptoms. No other medicine helps me like THC does.

awesome story, man. but, you got some of your info wrong.
Northern Lights, Jack Herer, Skunk #1, and Silver Haze are all Sativa/Indica Hybrids
AK-47 is more Sativa than Indy (Sativa 65 / Indica 35) (www.kindgreenbuds.com/marijuana-strains/ak… and blueberry is also a hybrid.

yeah i was pretty sure homeboy had it backwards on sativa and indica's…i've always read and seen that sativa's are typically shorter and bushier and fatter plants that yield less than the indica's which grow taller skinnier and in shorter cycles typically…yeah ive had an AK47 that my dispensary I go to said was mostly sativa as well…I think people are so stoned they honestly forget what is what, or just dont care to organize and commit to being accurate, which I think is honestly sad b/c if we are to prove MMJ's legitimacy being able to articulate which is best for what reason is the whole reason this is legal in 14 states!!!! cmon people!!! well put tho lazarus

Funny thing about Washington is that everyone there apparently thinks everything they have is the best. The best city, the best weed, the best restaurants, the best coffee, etc.

AK-47 is okay. I prefer Bazooka. Tho, smoke this one with the bong. Then it really hits like a “bazooka” too. The best weed out what I like is haze tho. Not the purple haze but the silver haze or lemon haze. Great weed which everyone should have smoked!
Happy day further smoking fellas.
Peace out.

Do any of you people/kids/adolescents know the damage thus stuff does yo your brain!!! No really, just do some research, on an established website, medical.
You will see how this crap effects the neurons, cells in your brain, cerebral etc. There is evidence to say that you can develop paranoid schizophrenic conditions.
I’m a mother who’s son screwed his life up due to the use of CANNABIS!!!
So it’s not as glorified as some of your comments suggest.
