Let's be real - understanding the distinctions between sativa, indica, and hybrid strains can be a daunting task. You hear things like "cerebral buzz" or "body high", and it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

So, let’s simplify things. Whether you’re new to hemp and cannabis products or just want to pick the perfect pre-roll for your mood, here’s your go-to guide to understanding the three main types of strains – and how to choose what’s right for you.

Sativa – Your Daytime Sidekick

If you’re looking for something to lift your energy, clear the mental fog, or give you that creative spark, sativa is your best friend.

What Sativa feels like:

Sativas are known for providing a more heady, cerebral buzz that keeps you feeling upbeat, focused, and focused. It’s not the “chill on the couch” vibe—it’s more “let’s-do-this.”

Sativa is best for:

  • Morning or daytime use
  • Creative work, brainstorming, or art
  • Social hangouts or productive solo time
  • Beating a mid-afternoon slump

Pro tip: If you're looking for a strain to kickstart your day, try something like Amnesia. It’s bright and citrussy and helps you stay mentally sharp without the crash.

Indica – The Chill-You-Out Option

Indica is your slow-down-and-exhale strain. It’s all about calm, comfort, and easing into the evening.

What Indica feels like:

Indicas typically bring on a relaxing, full-body high – great for melting away tension and helping you mentally (and physically) power down.

Indica is best for:

  • Unwinding after work
  • Evening rituals or bedtime use
  • Soothing stress and anxiety
  • Getting better sleep

Pro tip: If your body’s begging for a break, Bubba Kush or Blue Cheese are solid go-to's. They’re rich in flavour and known for full-body calm, which will have you breathing deeper in no time.

Hybrid – The Best of Both Worlds

Are you uncertain about your preferences? That’s where hybrids come in. These strains blend sativa and indica genetics to give you a little bit of everything.


What Hybrid feels like:

It depends on the blend – some hybrids lean sativa (great for energy with a hint of calm), while others lean indica (great for relaxing but still keep you functional). You’ll get a balanced effect that’s not too heavy, not too buzzy.

Hybris is best for:

  • Flexible use, day or night
  • Staying relaxed without feeling sleepy
  • Uplifted mood with physical ease
  • First-timers who want something smooth and easygoing

Pro tip: Check out AK-47 if you want a clear-headed, feel-good experience. It’s a hybrid that offers just the right mix of calm and clarity.

How to Choose the Right One for You

Here’s a quick cheat sheet to help you pick your perfect match:

Want to feel:        Go with:
Energized & creative        Sativa
Calm & sleepy        Indica
Balanced & chill        Hybrid

Bonus Tips:

  • Start slow: Especially if you’re trying THCa or stronger strains. You can always take another puff later.
  • Time it right: Use sativa in the morning or afternoon. Save indicas for the evening.
  • Let flavour guide you: Citrus and herbals often lean sativa. Earthy, musky, or spicy? It is likely to be an indica or hybrid strain.

Final Thoughts

There’s no “best strain” – just the best one for you in the moment.

Sativa is great for getting things done. Indica is perfect for slowing things down. And hybrids are your in-between, adaptable option when you want a little bit of everything.
