A Comprehensive Guide to Cannabis Indica Vs Cannabis Sativa

Cannabis is a beloved plant that has been used for centuries for both recreational and medicinal purposes. The two primary species of cannabis, Indica, and Sativa have distinct chemical compositions which produce different effects on users. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the differences between these two strains so you can decide which one best suits your needs. 

What is Cannabis Indica? 

Cannabis Indica sometimes referred to as “Marijuana” or “Indian Hemp”, is a species of the cannabis plant that has higher levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). When consumed, it produces a body-heavy feeling often referred to as “couch lock” due to its sedative effects. This strain is typically consumed at night or before bedtime, and its common effects include relaxation, stress relief, pain relief, increased appetite, and full-body euphoria. 

What is Cannabis Sativa? 

Cannabis Sativa is another species of the cannabis plant with higher levels of CBD (cannabidiol). When consumed, it produces a more energizing effect often referred to as a “head high” due to its cerebral effects such as heightened awareness or creativity. It can be consumed during the day as it does not typically cause drowsiness, and its common effects include mood elevation, focus, a creativity boost, mental clarity, uplifted spirits, and improved physical stamina. 

Are you wondering what Delta 8 is? It’s an extracted form of THC that has recently been legalized in many states, and it provides a few of the calming effects related to classic THC flowers without inducing too much intoxication. In other words, if you are looking for therapeutic benefits from using cannabis products but don’t want to be heavily intoxicated – Delta 8 might just be your perfect choice!

What are the Benefits of Consuming Cannabis? 

Here at Nursewellness, we believe in the potential medical and recreational benefits of responsibly using cannabis. Depending on the strain, you can experience a wide range of therapeutic effects. These include:

  1. Pain relief: Many users report that cannabis is effective in managing chronic and acute pain, as well as relieving muscle tension. 
  2. Stress relief: Consuming cannabis can help to relax the mind and body, reducing stress and improving overall mental well-being. 
  3. Increased appetite: Cannabis can stimulate hunger, making it an effective treatment for those experiencing reduced appetite due to medical treatments or illnesses. 
  4. Improved sleep: Cannabis can help reduce insomnia, allowing users to fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer. 
  5. Mood elevation: Cannabis contains compounds that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, helping to regulate emotions and lift the mood.
