The short version
These are broad buckets, not strict rules — effects vary by person and product.
Indica
Generally associated with relaxing, body-forward effects. Often chosen for evenings.
Sativa
Generally associated with uplifting, heady effects. Often chosen for daytime.
Hybrid
A blend of both, tuned toward one side or balanced. Most modern products are hybrids.
How to choose
Start low, go slow, and read the lab results on each product page.
