Getting to know the three types of medical marijuana | Indica, Sativa, Hybrid

If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed about the wide variety of medical marijuana products out there and how to choose the right one for you, you’re not alone. Even though cannabis has been used as medicine for centuries, medical marijuana is a very new concept for most Americans. At Revolutionary Clinics, we offer dozens of products in different formats at varying levels of intensity to help our patients the desired effects they’re seeking.

The first step in your wellness journey is to understand the three types of medical marijuana that are available to you at our dispensaries and how they can help you.

Sativa Strains

(pronounced “sah-tee-vuh”):

Desired Effect:

Increased alertness, energy, and creativity

Decreased social anxiety, depression, and chronic pain

Recommended use:

Daytime when you need a burst of energy

Medical marijuana products made from sativa are generally known to produce the feelings of mental euphoria, better known as feeling “high”.

At Revolutionary Clinics, we offer sativa flowers, concentrates, pre-rolls, vape carts, and edibles that can help you feel more energetic, stimulate your creativity, and put you in a more positive place to face the challenges of life. Sativa strains also have the potential to increase your mental focus as well as soothe nausea and chronic pain.

 

Indica Strains

(pronounced “in-dih-cuh”):

Desired Effect:

Muscle relaxation, acute pain relief, and insomnia treatment

Recommended use:

Night time when you want to relax and unwind

Contrary to sativa, medical marijuana products made from indica strains tend to work better as sedatives or acute pain relievers that you take just before bed time. At Revolutionary Clinics, we offer indica flowers, concentrates, pre-rolls, vape carts, edibles, and infusions that can relieve the stress of the day and put your body in a more relaxed state of being. Sleep is essential to good health and indica strains can ease the aches and pains that can cause you to have a tough time falling asleep or wake you up in the middle of the night.

 

Hybrid Strains:

While sativa strains are typically associated with stimulating the mind and indica strains are synonymous with soothing the body, hybrid strains can deliver the benefits of both worlds. The combinations of different concentrations of sativa and indica strains are virtually unlimited and can help you achieve a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Knowing that hybrids exist is important but choosing the right hybrid product for you requires the knowledge and experience of a Revolutionary Clinics Patient Advocate. From there you can learn about all of the hybrid  flowers, concentrates, pre-rolls, vape carts, infusions, and edibles available at our dispensaries and how they can support your healthy living goals.

 

At Revolutionary Clinics, we’re here to help you learn about the benefits of medical marijuana at your own pace so you feel confident about every decision you make. The goal of this post is to leave you with more questions than answers – questions we look forward to discussing with you at one of our dispensaries whenever you’re ready.
