While all strains are unique, there are some key differences between sativas and indicas. The structure of the plant classifies Indica or Sativa. Indica - short and stalky bush, Sativa - tall and lanky tree. Cannabis Sativa generally works best on your head, producing an energized wakefulness that stimulates creativity and is excellent for daytime stoners. Indica, on the other hand, are best used for full-body relaxation, help with sleep, and are perfect for unwinding at night. However, these effects will differ from person to person.

 

Nirvana also offers a number of sativa and indica hybrids. The effects of these hybrids vary depending on the mixture so it’s best to ask our professionals to help you find the exact strain you are looking for.
