Hybrid strains are best used by patients seeking a ‘middle-of-the-road’ cannabis medication.
Marijuana strains vary from pure sativas to pure indicas – hybrid strains fall somewhere in the middle. Hybrid strains consist of both indica and sativa features (30% indica – 70% sativa, 50% – 50% combinations, 80% indica – 20% sativa). Since Sativa and Indica buds have very different medical benefits and effects, certain strains can be targeted to better treat specific ailments. The scent can vary drastically from strain to strain but if it smells more earthy it’s probably heavier on the indica side. Patients seeking a medicinal marijuana strain that starts with a sativa high but eventually lulls you into an indica slumber will enjoy the effects of a hybrid cannabis strain.
