Sativa plants – what they are and how they work

As we grow as a society and improve upon the plants that we use, cannabis sativa plant remains one of the most well known and widely used plants to promote daytime productivity and to create a sense of cerebral exploration. This plant has been known historically by many names including Hemp or simply Sativa. In its natural state the sativa plant was relatively small and had very long thin leaves. Over time the sativa has grown significantly larger than its original form and has become a highly specialized plant that can be utilized for a variety of uses in modern life.

The effects of cannabis sativa

The major reason why people tend to prefer sativa dominant products is the “head high” they produce. The head high from sativa dominant products creates a stimulating and uplifting feeling that is completely different from the heavy physical feelings produced by indica products. When smoked, sativa products cause a person’s serotonin levels to increase along with providing them with increased sensory awareness. These two factors combined make sativa products ideal for anyone who wants to get the most out of their wakeful hours.

Cannabis sativa uses

Whether you want to have the energy to complete a grueling morning workout or you want to find the creative flow needed to finish a difficult project, finding the correct product will help.

Many professional workers and artists utilize high sativa strains such as the famous Jack Herer and Durban Poison. If you’re seeking the highest level of energy from a sativa strain, search for products with citrus flavoring, especially bright citrus flavors.

Beyond the use of cannabis products for recreation there are also numerous industrial and wellness-related uses for cannabis sativa.

• topical wellness: incorporating non-psychoactive extracts into topical creams/cosmetics
• cognitive Support: Micro-dosing sativa to Support focus/mood regulation

FAQ: debunking popular mythology about sativa

1. Does sativa or indica make you hungry? While both sativa and indica may stimulate your appetite, indica is generally associated with the “munchie’s” due to its relaxing properties. However, some Sativas can also increase metabolism thereby creating an energy-based hunger. Therefore, technically speaking both sativa and indica can lead to hunger. But, Sativas provide enough energy so that you could potentially cook a meal instead of ordering take-out.
2. How can I identify a sativa plant? To identify a sativa plant you should know that it is visually distinct. Sativas grow taller (some growing over three meters) , have thinner leaves that resemble fingers, and require longer periods of flowering compared to its smaller, bushier indica cousins.
