Knowing is half the battle. Know the strains and what it means:

Indicas

Indicas are good when you need to de-stress and relax. Known for their intense heavy-body effects, you’ll feel your muscles relax and pain go away. Indicas are best for nighttime use and are well-suited for indoor growers. These tend to be short, stocky plants native to cooler climates.

Sativas

Sativas are the strain when your looking for some energy. They provide uplifting, clear-headed, and energizing effects. Pick up a sativa when you need daytime focus and inspiration. These plants are tall, wispy, and generally well-adapted to warm climates. Expect late flowering times from these cerebral strains.

Hybrid

Hybrids will provide the best of both worlds. A hybrid is a mix of both indica and sativa cannabis varieties. Their effects will vary from strain to strain. While the strain may feature traits from both cannabis species, the effects will either be slightly more mental or more physical. The overall high and growth patterns depend on each strain’s unique lineage.

Edibles

Edibles are cannabis-infused foods and drinks. Eating infused foods produces a stronger and longer-lasting high than any other consumption method. Be warned, though. It may take a while for your treat to kick in. Expect to wait 30 minutes to 2 hours to feel the effects of an edible. A standard dose of any infused good is 10-15mg of THC.
