What Is the Difference Between Indica and Sativa?

Indica and sativa are labels used to describe cannabis varieties. Indica is commonly associated with relaxing effects and sativa with energizing effects. Those descriptions don't reliably predict how a product will affect you. Many products are hybrids and the same label can cover flower with different chemical profiles.

When comparing cannabis flower, read the specific product details rather than choosing by indica or sativa alone. Check the listed THC and CBD content and consider the aroma and other information available for that product. Cannabis effects also vary by person and amount used.
