What are Sativa Weed Strains?

Sativa weed strains are a subcategory of the cannabis family. Indica and hybrid strains are the other two subcategories. These plants contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that induces the effects usually associated with marijuana use. The THC content in this strain is higher than CBD, which makes it ideal for recreational purposes. 

These plants are tall plants with thin leaves and long cone-shaped buds. Besides, cannabis Sativa plants are common in warmer climates closer to the equator and have longer summers. Sativa marijuana needs a more extended timeframe to flower, which is where the longer summers come in handy. 

Furthermore, Sativa cannabis strains often provide effects that include increases in happiness, energy, focus, and relaxation. These sensations make Sativa weed ideal for daytime use.  However, it is essential to note that not all Sativa strains induce effects suitable for day use. Some Sativa strains can cause effects that are similar to that of Indica strains. 

Whatever the case, millions of cannabis users in Canada take marijuana for a wide range of reasons.

Expected Benefits of Using Sativa Weed

People take cannabis for a variety of reasons. Some take it to help with medical conditions, some take it for its therapeutic properties, and some just want to enhance the fun in whatever they are doing. Whatever the case, marijuana helps millions of people throughout the world.

Sativa strains are so popular due to their uplifting effects or the ‘high.’ Sativa induces euphoria and provides the consumer with renewed energy and focus. They give a sort of “head high,” which makes consumers feel more revitalized. They feel more alert and sensitive to the movements and sensations around them.

However, it is essential to note that THC can affect people differently, and the effects can be different from person to person. You will likely experience other effects than what someone else would (even if you are smoking the same joint).

Possible Side Effects

Side effects of weed are known to be minor in seriousness and very short in duration. This relatively low risk is a big reason why marijuana is now legal in Canada and many other countries worldwide. Typically, users will only suffer from red eyes and dry mouth. Naturally, any more severe adverse effects are due to overconsumption. 

Furthermore, cannabis is a drug that causes intoxication. We highly recommend avoiding dangerous activities such as operating heavy machinery or driving.

Cannabis Dosage Chart:

The good thing about cannabis is that it is impossible to over-consume enough to cause serious problems. The worst that could happen is taking too much and feeling a bit uncomfortable for a short time.  You should take reasonable doses to prevent any adverse effects due to overconsumption. 

Below you will find a cannabis dosage chart. This chart should only be used as a guideline as many other variables can affect the effects felt by an individual.  For example, a 250 lb individual who smokes weed every day will be able to take more than a 100 lb person who rarely takes cannabis. Therefore, you should start slow and work your way up if you are unsure.

Alternative Products

here are some of the most popular alternatives to regular marijuana buds:

Cannabis Concentrates are products with high levels of THC and minimal plant matter. The beneficial compounds are separated from the unwanted plant material, leaving a purer and more potent product. Some of the most common weed concentrates include hash, shatter, budder, THC oil, live resin, THC distillate, and weed vapes.

Weed Edibles are cannabis products that you can eat. Many cannabis edibles are everyday food items infused with THC. Some of Canada’s most famous marijuana edibles include THC gummies, THC chocolate, weed cookies, THC capsules, and THC tinctures.

CBD Products are items that do not cause intoxication. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid that is in cannabis. However, CBD does not attach to receptors in the brain and causes the intoxicating effects generally associated with THC use. Some of Canada’s most common cannabidiol products include CBD oil, CBD capsules, CBD edibles, CBD vapes, and CBD gummies.

Magic Mushrooms products are those that contain the hallucinatory drug psilocybin. These products are perfect for those looking for a much more intense experience. Some of the most sought-after shroom products include dried shrooms, shroom chocolate, shroom gummies, shroom capsules, and shroom tea.
