Sativa strains: weed for the daytime
Sativa strains are known for a bright, lively feeling in the head. Many people pick sativa in the daytime, when they want to stay up and active. The buds often smell like citrus, pine or fuel.
A sativa can come on fast and feel strong in your head. If one has ever felt like too much, use less the next time. One small puff is a fine place to start.
When to use sativa
Sativa suits the things you want to be doing, like a walk, cooking, a hobby or time with friends. It is not a great pick right before bed.
Sativa or a hybrid that leans sativa
Most sativa strains today have some indica mixed in. A hybrid that leans sativa still feels bright, but it has a softer edge. Try one if a pure sativa feels too strong for you.
Pick by taste
Sativa buds often taste fresh, like lemon, orange or pine. That taste comes from terpenes, the oils that give weed its smell and flavour. Choose a flavour that you already like.
Common questions
Will a sativa keep me awake?
It can. If that happens to you, use sativa earlier in the day. Then switch to a hybrid or an indica in the evening.
Is sativa stronger than indica?
No, because strength depends on the strain and not on the type. Sativa tends to be felt more in the head, and indica more in the body.
