2026-06-17


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.
