Marijuana, A Different Breed "When a person smokes, inhales or ingests marijuana or pot -- the green, brown or grayish dried and shredded leaves, stems, flowering buds or seeds of plants called cannabis sativa or cannabis indica -- more than 200 different chemical compounds course through the body (Electa, Post)." These effects can vary from strain to strain depending on what breed it is. Effects can range from a cereberal high to hyper active feeling. Indica, Sativa and Hybrid breeds all have beneficial effects on the human body, but are not legal in all states.Why? Indica nicknamed "in da couch", strains usually have a sedative or relaxing feeling. This strain of marijuana relieves anxiety,
chronic pain and insomnia. Chemo, a pain relief strain, usually makes the back of the eyes feel heavy while the effects start to put the body in a sedated state. It yields in a dark purple spaded shaped bud; rock hard with orange hairs, white crystals and also is rich in sticky resin. Upon exhale, it has a taste of pine and the aroma of pine also. Chemo causes a strong case of the munchies, so make sure you have a pantry stocked with snacks. In medical cases it is used for patients that are undergoing chemo therapy, suffering form deppression or to reduce nausea. Another indica strain, Tokyo OG, has a peppery lemon aroma, somewhat similar to the smell of a mixture of lemon juice and hemp smoke. The small, leafy, neon green nugs are distinctive to this strain. It yields in a christmas tree form with firey orange hairs. This indica strain causes the user to fall into a relaxing state or sleep. True OG is a well known Indica strain and causes user to be relaxed and happy. It has a citrus smell and a lemon taste upon exhale. True OG yields in dark green buds with small orange hairs. On to the Sativa strain, which stimulates the appetite while relieving depression, nausea, and migranes.
Sativia gives the user a more energitic feeling unlike the relaxing indica strain. Train Wreck is a strain of sativa that gives the user a cereberal or feeling. It has dense dark lime green buds with white crystals and orange hairs. It has a pine aroma and lemon taste; It is like the fresh spring season when flowers are blooming. Another sativa strain, Sage N Sour is also known for its distinctive smell. It has the aroma of herbal sage with a sweet herbal taste and yields in fluffy dark green and purple christmas tree buds with orange hairs and a small amount of white crystals with sticky resin. The user of Sage N Sour usually displays a euphoric, happy feeling. It is widely used as a wake and bake strain because it activates the body in a more social and creative way while relaxing the mind, but not in a sedated state. It is ideal for patients that suffer from appetite deficiencies, anxiety and nausea. The king of the sativa strain is Blue Dream. With its bright green, popcorn shaped buds, white crystals, and long thick tan hairs, it is described as ghost blue. It has an intense cereberal feeling and causes the user to be calm and focused. It has a blueberry taste and a sugar cookie smell to add to its delicate features. Ideal for patients suffering from chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, muscle spasms and chronic inflamation; it also helps unwind after a long day and
gets the body prepared for a meal. The last are Hybrid strains which are more common than pure Sativa or Indica strains because of the cross genetical patterns they posses.
These strains can vary in potency depending on the percentage of sativa or indica that the strain has. The effects are a combination of both other strains giving an energetic feeling and also causing relaxation. The award winning queen ,Kali Mist, is a sativa dominant strain that has a 90/10% ratio. It has a dense cluster of white crystal covered bright green buds with long orange hairs ,and a sweet scent with a sweet and spicy flavor. Kali Mist is a clearing agent that enhances creativity and performance while blocking distractions. It is mainly used for curing apetite disorders because it cannot be used for chronic pain or headaches. A different hybrid with more of a mixture with the two domninant strains is Lavender Haze. It is an indica dominant strain that has a 60/40% ratio. The buds are covered exotic purple leaves and has a floral scent of lavender. It is an energizing strain that enhances creativity and turns the user into a talker and uplifts their mood. It is mainly used to help with depression and insomnia. AK-47, not the gun, is a sativa domninant hybrid yielding a 65/35% sativa to indica ratio. Opposite of its name, AK-47 is a relaxing, mellowing strain that gives a long lasting cereberal buzz to the user. It has a strong sour scent with a vivid lime green color, sticky and long orange hairs. This strain alleviates pain and
induces relaxation as it takes the mind and body on a calming trip. It is helpful to patients suffering from anxiety, stress, and depression. Marijuana strains are all related in ways, but have different effects and are use for different things. Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid strains can be useflu in different ways to different people. They appeal to many varriations of any patient's needs or wants. Whether its a calming, relaxing effect or a hyper active euphoric effect ther user can benefit from its uses.
