    Sativa’s are known for their height and their leggy, often sparse leaves which are long and thin and trademarks of the sativa strain.

    Effects: The sativa high is often characterized as uplifting, energetic and mostly cerebral. They give a feeling of optimism and well being, as well as providing a good measure of pain relief for certain symptoms. A few pure Sativa’s are also very high in THC content. They are known to have a quite spacey, or hallucinogenic, effect. Sativa’s are a good choice for daytime medicating. Scientists at GW Pharmaceuticals, Britain’s legal med-pot research facility, have announced that Sativa strains are more effective at treating pain than Indica strains.:drool5:

    Indicas are known for their smaller stature. They are relatively short and bushy. Indica’s tend to grow wider and rounder than Sativa’s. Many look like small shrubs often tinged with purple.:smilielol5:

    Effects: The Indica highs are most often described as a pleasant body buzz. Indicas are great for relaxation, stress relief, and for an overall sense of calm and serenity. Indicas are also very effective for overall body pain relief, and often used in the treatment of insomnia and insomnia. A few pure Indica strains are very potent in THC, which helps in making the patient sleep.
    Marijuana strains are available in the entire spectrum from pure Sativa’s to pure indicas, and every combination in-between. There are also Hybrids which are half Indica and half Sativa.:party:

    It takes some time and experimentation to find the most effective balance for each patient, but there is a medical marijuana strain available that will treat every aliment and all conditions.
    :peace:


    Which do you prefer?

    Sativa, but I am not picky as long as it's dank.

    Recreationally I prefer sativa's I love the headtrip, mild visuals, and "highdeas".

    I get medicinal benefits from most indica's, if used at a low does (1/20th to 1/10th of a gram, yeah I'm sensitive to it :p). Im a brilliant guy, but usually my brain is going way to fast to be productive. Indica's calm me down and get me to a point where I'm content to just do work and absolutely love learning.

    Usually I pack a tiny little pipe, clear it, then munchy out for about 45 minutes until I'm not high in any way. Then I hit the library for 3-5 hours. I had forgotten the joys of learning until recently. And they say weed makes you stupid...

    I like full blown sativa or indica.

    I LOVE smoking both, but I really don't like crosses. I like to just smoke some of each.

    I enjoy head trips more than body highs but a head trip without any sort of body high is lacking, while a body high on it's own is just lovely.
