Cannabis Indica vs Cannabis Sativa

Indica
Indica cannabis plants are short and bushy compared to its counterpart. Indicas strains are best for growing indoors because of there short height. It has more CBD than THC which in turn creates a extreme physical high (couch lock) which is good for things like pain and insomnia. Indica strains are best used before going to bed or if you plan on staying in for the night. They also tend to have a higher yield than sativa strains. Indica buds tend to be darker green in color.

Sativa
Sative plants are tall and skinny. They are best grown outdoors as they can reach heights of up to 20 feet. They don't tend to yield as much as indica but they produce a completely different effect. Sative strains give a more cerebral high. Sativas can be used anytime of the day as they don't tend to tire you like indica strains do. This is do to Sativa strains having more THC than CBD making it more viable for conditions like depression, migraines, and nausea. Sativa strains are a brighter green color compared to Indica.
