In it’s most basic form there are two main strains of marijuana that are potent enough for medical use, Indica and Sativa.

Indica:

Indica has a higher CBD (Cannabidiol) content than THC. CBD has a sedative effect, producing a more relaxing/sleepy type of effect. According to extensive anecdotal evidence, Indica strains are more effective in treating ailments including anxiety, pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, sleep, muscle spasms and tremors, and much more.

Sativa:

Sativa conversely has a higher THC content making it much more potent. This creates a more cerebral, energetic, and soaring effect. These Sativa strains create more of a stimulant effect, which has shown to be effective in treating migraines, pain, nausea, depression, and is also good for appetite stimulation.

New research is coming out about different varieties within these two main strains that are better tailored for specific ailments. We are continually adding new varieties to our selection.
