The two main types of cannabis strains, Sativa and Indica, are used for a number of medicinal purposes. Interestingly, one of the most important differences between the two strains is how they influence one's levels of energy and productivity.
Sativa strains are known to enhance mood, increase focus and creativity, and have energizing effects. They are also known to relieve migraine headaches and reduce awareness of pain. Therefore, Sativa strains are recommended for Daytime Use. Remember, Sativa = Stimulating.
Sativa strains generally have a higher THC to CBD content when compared to Indica strains; therefore, they tend to produce a more intense Cerebral High or Euphoria. They are useful for patients who need to medicate during the day without feeling sedated.
Indica strains are typically associated with calming effects and produce a heavily sedating, Full-Body High. Indica strains are commonly used for relaxation, stress relief and treating insomnia. Therefore, Indica strains are recommended for Nighttime Use. They tend to have a higher CBD to THC content than Sativa strains and the higher CBD concentrations are responsible for many of the medicinal benefits of indica strains, including:
Remember, Indica = "In Da Couch."
Hybrid strains are cannabis plants that exhibit characteristics of both Indica and Sativa strains. Due to extensive cross-breeding by growers in an attempt to increase levels of THC, it is rare for a strain to exhibit entirely Pure Sativa or Pure Indica effects. Therefore, Hybrid strains are classified as being Indica-Dominant or Sativa-Dominant.
Patients should view Indica-Hybrid-Sativa categories as a SPECTRUM with most plants falling within the two extremes. Therefore, some mild Sativa strains are known to treat Anxiety Disorder and not every Indica strain will have a Sedative Effect.
Cannabinoids: Cannabis plants contain many chemical compounds known as cannabinoids. These naturally occurring compounds are responsible for producing many of the effects — both positive and negative — of cannabis use. Many cannabinoids are still under investigation and poorly understood, although researchers have identified two main cannabinoids — Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD), as well as, several less common compounds. These include:
* Please Note: Many in the cannabis industry have moved away from the terms Sativa, Indica and Hybrid strains and began classifying different strains as Chemovar Types:
In other words, the strain type, Indica or Sativa, may not be the best indicator of potential effects. Chemovars are distinguished by the plants cannabinoid and terpene profile. This information will help patients determine which chemovar is best suited for their needs.
Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the cannabis plant's aroma and flavor profile. Terpenes greatly influence the character and effect a cannabis plant will produce, as well as, the potential medicinal benefits
Bisabolol is one of the main components of chamomile essential oil and has soothing and relaxing properties.
Borneol is known for its woody, camphor-like aroma and is an effective anti-inflammatory and pain reliever.
Camphene is known for its pungent aroma and studies indicate that it may be effective antioxidant.
Beta-caryophyllene is found in hops, cloves, and rosemary. Caryophyllene has both anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
Humulene is a common cannabis terpene that's predominant in hops and may be an effective topical anti-inflammatory and pain reliever.
Limonene is commonly associated with fruity, citrus aromas. It is believed to elevate mood and provide stress relief.
Linalool is commonly associated with fresh and floral aromas. It is found in lavender and is known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and stress-relieving properties.
Myrcene is notable as the most prominent terpene found in cannabis (up to 20% of the terpene content in a cannabis plant). It is found in parsley, thyme, lemongrass, and mango. It is believed to have sedative and relaxing effects.
Nerolidol is found in ginger, jasmine, lavender, tea tree and is characterized by a woody aroma reminiscent of fresh bark. It has been studied for its potential as an antifungal, antioxidant, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory agent.
Ocimene has a strong, sweet, herbal scent It's found in a wide variety of plants including mint, mangos, basil, parsley and orchids. Ocimene can act as an anti-inflammatory.
Pinene is the most common terpene in nature and is highly repellent to insects. The two isomers of Pinene (α- and β-) constitute the major component of Turpentine.
Terpinolene boasts a fresh herbal and citrus aroma. It's commonly found in lilacs, tea tree, nutmeg, cumin, and apples. Studies have identified terpinolene as a potential antioxidant and has sedative properties.
