Sativa Dominant Hemp Flower

Sativa CBD plants are subspecies of cannabis known for their unique growth characteristics and reported effects. To help you understand what distinguishes them from other types of marijuana, let's explore some science and history of the hemp plant.

The cannabis plant's botanical name is cannabis sativa, but there's more than one type — and not all of them are sativa, despite the name. The first one is recreational cannabis, bred to contain very high levels of delta-9 THC that cause the potent effects people associate with cannabis. In many states and places around the world, growing, selling, and consuming this type of cannabis is illegal.

On the other hand, industrial hemp is mainly farmed for its fibers, seed oil, and CBD — the main non-psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis. In 2018, the federal farm bill made the cultivation and sale of hemp-derived products legal, meaning indica, hybrid, and sativa CBD flower became legal. Sativa CBD plants have taller, narrower leaves and are native to warmer climates.

In cannabis culture, the difference between a sativa, indica, and hybrid strain mainly comes down to the reported effects. Sativa dominant CBD flower is said to induce a more cerebral, uplifting, and energetic high. However, it's important to note that your genetic makeup, previous experiences, and even expectations can have a big impact on how each high-quality hemp flower strain affects you.

Whereas sativa CBD hemp flower is said to be more energetic and uplifting, consumers report indica-dominant CBD strains being more sedated and sleepy. Plants are bushier, shorter, and better suited to growing in cooler climates. They also typically have a shorter flowering time and chunkier leaves, while sativa hemp leaves are long and narrow with a longer flowering time. Some hemp lovers recommend turning to a sativa strain for daytime use and using indica for evening relaxation.

Lastly, hybrid strains are said to offer the best of both worlds, combining the effects of sativa and indica. But remember, terpene profiles and your body can also influence how different flower strains alter your physiology — so it's important to experiment and find what works best for you.

Let's explore some benefits reported by individuals who have consumed sativa hemp strains:

• Uplifting and energizing
• Anxiety relief
• Pain management
• Elevated mood
• Supports healthy sleeping patterns
• Enhanced creativity and focus

In some instances, CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Finally, for people seeking the uplifting and mood-enhancing benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects of THC, sativa CBD is ideal.

There are many reasons you might choose sativa hemp flower, such as seeking:

• Energy and focus
• Relief from low mood
• An alternative to THC
• Sustained concentration on creative projects
• An introduction to hemp
• Relief from aches and pains

If you're looking for a hemp flower strain that users report getting more calming, sedative effects from, there's a good chance you'll prefer indica. Can't decide or prefer balance? Opt for hybrid.

3. Purchase two or three strains and experiment (do this all at once or over a few weeks).
4. Note which subspecies of CBD hemp flower you prefer.
