IS INDICA A BODY HIGH?

SHORT ANSWER: THAT IS ITS REPUTATION. PEOPLE USUALLY DESCRIBE INDICA AS A BODY HIGH: HEAVY, RELAXED, SLOWED DOWN, THE KIND THAT MAKES THE COUCH LOOK GOOD. SATIVA GETS DESCRIBED AS A HEAD HIGH: MORE MENTAL, CHATTY AND UP.

THE CATCH: THE LABEL ALONE DOES NOT DECIDE HOW A STRAIN FEELS. LARGE LAB STUDIES OF THOUSANDS OF CANNABIS SAMPLES HAVE FOUND THE INDICA AND SATIVA LABELS DO NOT LINE UP WELL WITH WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE FLOWER. THE FEEL COMES DOWN TO TERPENES, THC LEVEL, DOSE AND YOU.

MOST STRAINS TODAY ARE HYBRIDS, SO A LOT OF WHAT YOU BUY LANDS SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN.

WHAT REALLY DOES IT

WHY INDICA FEELS LIKE INDICA.

TERPENESTHE SMELL MOLECULES. EARTHY, MUSKY STRAINS HEAVY IN MYRCENE ARE THE ONES PEOPLE MOST OFTEN CALL RELAXING.
THC AND DOSEMORE THC AND A BIGGER DOSE PUSH ANY STRAIN TOWARD THE HEAVY END. LESS IS LIGHTER.
HOW YOU TAKE ITEDIBLES CAN TAKE UP TO TWO HOURS TO KICK IN, AND MANY PEOPLE SAY THEY FEEL MORE IN THE BODY THAN A HIT OF FLOWER.
TIME OF DAYTHE SAME STRAIN FEELS DIFFERENT AT 10 AM AND 10 PM. YOUR NIGHT IS PART OF THE EFFECT.
YOUTOLERANCE, MOOD AND BODY MAKE THE SAME BAG FEEL DIFFERENT TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
THE LABELA STARTING POINT, NOT A PROMISE. READ THE BATCH THC AND THE STRAIN NOTES.

GOOD QUESTIONS

QUICK ANSWERS.

IS INDICA A BODY HIGH?

THAT IS ITS REPUTATION. PEOPLE USUALLY DESCRIBE INDICA AS A HEAVY, RELAXED FEELING IN THE BODY AND SATIVA AS MORE OF A HEAD HIGH. BUT THE LABEL ALONE DOES NOT DECIDE IT. TERPENES, THC LEVEL, DOSE AND THE PERSON MATTER MORE.

WHAT DOES AN INDICA HIGH FEEL LIKE?

PEOPLE OFTEN DESCRIBE IT AS CALM, HEAVY AND SLOWED DOWN, SOMETIMES CALLED COUCH LOCK AT HIGHER DOSES. EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY, SO START LOW.

IS SATIVA A HEAD HIGH?

SATIVA STRAINS ARE KNOWN FOR A MORE MENTAL, UPBEAT FEEL. LIKE INDICA, IT IS A REPUTATION, NOT A GUARANTEE, AND TWO SATIVAS CAN FEEL VERY DIFFERENT.

IS A HYBRID A BODY HIGH OR A HEAD HIGH?

IT CAN BE EITHER OR A MIX OF BOTH, DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY THE STRAIN LEANS AND WHAT ITS TERPENES ARE. MOST STRAINS TODAY ARE HYBRIDS.

DOES INDICA MAKE YOU SLEEPY?

MANY PEOPLE SAVE INDICA FOR THE END OF THE DAY BECAUSE OF ITS RELAXED REPUTATION. HOW SLEEPY YOU GET DEPENDS ON THE PRODUCT, THE DOSE AND YOU. NEVER DRIVE AFTER USING CANNABIS.
