‘Sativa’ is one of three main ways cannabis strains are classified, along with ‘indica’ and ‘hybrid’. It’s an aging, imperfect classification system, but dispensaries offer sativa strains as the energetic counterpoint to indica strains, which are considered more sedative. Budtenders pitch sativa strains as offering energy, creativity, or focus, as compared to other types of weed that put you to sleep. Many patients also state in general weed delivery reviews that they use sativa strains to help them manage symptoms of mood disorders or other cognitive issues, including depression and ADHD.
Most modern, popular strains are hybrids of indicas and sativa, so you’re unlikely to ever find a ‘pure’ sativa strain. Strains labeled ‘sativa’ comprise the smallest segment of the general weed delivery database, with 548 strains, versus 860 listed as indica strains, and 3,800 listed as hybrid strains.
Each person’s chemistry is different, but here are some super-popular, strong sativa strains to check out and see if the effect is right for your needs.
