Marijuana comes in many varieties. Each strain combines cannabinoids and terpenes in its own way to produce its effects, from anxiety relief to focus and creativity enhancement, or helping sleep disorders or mood disorders.
Traditional use of the term “strain” to refer to particular cannabis plants has led many people to misinterpret this term as cultivar or variety, since bred cultivars aim for enhanced potency, disease resistance, and flavor profile – traits which cultivars may inherit from their parents. As a result, their breeding has produced numerous strains with differing effects like stress relief and energy boost.
Indica strains are well known for their soothing, relaxing qualities, making them an excellent way to reduce stress and pain. Sativas typically offer more stimulating properties and may help enhance focus, creativity, or productivity – many strains possess both indica and sativa characteristics and can therefore serve to both relax and energize simultaneously.
Some of the most sought-after strains in the industry are hybrids, which provide a balanced effect by combining indica relaxation with the mental alertness associated with sativas. This combination can be especially helpful to those experiencing pain or insomnia because it allows their bodies to unwind while their minds stay focused and relaxed – GMO Cookies is one such strain, said to produce aromas of diesel coffee fruit!
White Runtz is another highly recommended hybrid variety that provides an enjoyable tingly and euphoric high with its 60-40 ratio between indica and Sativa varieties. Ideal for relieving pain, it contains caryophyllene which has anti-inflammatory benefits.
