What are Sativa Strains?

Before we jump right into the top strains we recommend you try at least once, let’s get to know sativa strains a little more. A “strain” is a version of a cannabis plant, scientifically known as Cannabis Sativa L. There are three types of strains available -  sativa, indica, and hybrid. Sativa cannabis strains are well-known for their high yields, large size and amazing head highs. Sativa plants excel most during summer season, where they can utilize the longer hours of sunlight to bask in to continue growing with elongated, airy bud as they flower. Sativa plants can thrive in indoor and outdoor conditions, as long as they have proper space and planning as they grow in size. Sativas generally produce a “high” effect, with consumers reporting experiences of happiness, euphoria, increased energy, motivation, or a better mood overall. Some people also feel relaxed smoking sativa strains, but usually not as much as they would smoking indica strains.

The Energetic High

Unlike Indica, known for its sedative high, sativa actually helps increase focus, creativity, and energy. Sativa strains offer the consumer many benefits with its uplifting effects, associated with aiding mental health conditions like depression by boosting moods. Sativa strains are also known to add increased appetite for those battling anorexia as well as other benefits.
