What's the difference between Sativa and Indica?

Sativa and Indica are two of the primary species of the Cannabis plant, which are differentiated by their physical and chemical characteristics.

Sativa strains are known for their uplifting, energizing, and cerebral effects, and are typically associated with creativity, focus, and euphoria. Sativa plants are usually tall, with thin leaves and longer flowering cycles.

Indica strains, on the other hand, are known for their relaxing, sedating, and full-body effects, and are associated with relief from anxiety, pain, and insomnia. Indica plants are shorter and bushier, with broader leaves, and have shorter flowering cycles.

In general, Sativa strains are recommended for daytime use, while Indica strains are better suited for nighttime use. However, it's important to note that the effects of a particular strain can vary greatly depending on the individual and the specific cultivar.
