Indica plants are known for their relaxing and sedative effects, often leading to a more calming and soothing experience for users. These strains are typically associated with evening or nighttime use due to their ability to promote relaxation and sleep.
Hybrid cannabis strains are plants that have the combined characteristics of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica plants, depending on its genetic lineage. In fact, most cannabis today is a type of hybrid marked as either indica- or sativa-dominant, rather than pure indica or sativa.
Sativa strains are more suitable for daytime use, as they don’t have the instant sleepy-time effects that Indica strains do. Sativa strains cause a boost of serotonin, a neurotransmitter which is involved in our brain’s regulation of sleep, appetite, anxiety, movement, learning, and overall mood.
