The Truth About Indicas, Sativas, and Hybrids: Why Cannabis Type Doesn't Predict its Effects

It is essential to know that the effects you experience from consuming cannabis are far more complicated than knowing if it is an indica, sativa, or a hybrid. The truth is that there is no significant difference in the effects of indicas, sativas, and hybrids. Although, traditionally, cannabis consumers, budtenders, and others have relied on cannabis types to predict the effects from consuming specific strains, however, a more nuanced approach is required. Rather than depending on the strain’s type, educated consumers are encouraged to focus on the effects of dominant terpenes, flavonoids, esters, and cannabinoids found in the plant. So, the next time you’re at your local dispensary, don't let the bud’s type fool you into thinking you know what effects a strain will have. Instead, ask your budtender about the entourage of dominant terpenes, flavonoids, esters, and cannabinoids in the strain to get a more accurate prediction of what you can expect.
