Sative and indica. What are the pros and cons?

[fastforyou84]

I know indica is a body high and sativa is more of a head high. but what exactly seperates the 2 and what are the pros and cons associated with both. thanks!:jointsmile:

idk i prefer sativa. a lot. but i think ive only had a pure sativa once, and pure indica 4 times tops. most of the shit i get is a mix.

but friday i smoked a personal blunt of exotics, and it turned out to be like a pure indica, cause at first i didnt think i was that high, and wasnt laughing a lot or anything, like i would be after smoking an L to the head. then i walked outside and realized i had the strongest body high ive ever had.

indica isnt something id want on a friday night wile chillin with friends, its something id want chillin at my house smokin a bowl watching TV.

[Samwhore]

id go indica any day. i love the wierd and out-of-body highs

[fastforyou84]

I guess I just always associated indica as instantly getting tired and passing out weed which I didnt like. I have some stuff that I think is more sativa because I will be tired and smoke some and I will feel more awake. but im kinda getting bored of its high

I am with you in all aspects. Indica really is too much of a "fight the tiredness" kinda high.

Sativa is my favorite but it's pretty hard to find a pure sativa unless it's schwag. The long flowering times and large size of the plant don't lend it to indoor growing, so it's rare to see in these parts, unless it's a hybrid.

[konqrr]

I like a mix of both. Its just perfect that way :D

Like about 30%-40% indica and 70%-60% sativa...that is the perfect mix but very hard to come across. I only had it a few times in my life and I have to say it was the best high Ive had.

[AHLaD]

er.. sativa? indica?

..Sorry? Can someone please explain? Maybe it's a yanky thing, but i've never heard these terms before

LOL...they are differnt types of marijuana that strains are catagorized in (does this make sense cuz im not sure im a lil high)

Umn, ya


idica is tall and gives body highs and sativa is shorter and gives head highs.

[2600HERTZ]

Haha, it made plenty of sense to me....but im high too. IRALOL.

Actually it's the opposite. Indicas are short bushy plants, Sativas are tall lanky plants. Indicas are considered native to colder parts of Asia that get less sun than their tropical brethren, Sativas. You'll find Sativas in Jamaica, Thailand, Mexico, Vietnam, etc. Indicas are in India, Morocco, etc...

The cannabis is found in 3 varietites: Cannabis sativa, cannabis indica and canabis ruderalis. The first two ones are smoked, and each one have its particular effects.

'body high' is that feeling of body relaxation, heavyness, mellowness, sleepiness, and so... and if i lay down and close my eyes, feels like im at a great speed, i almost can feel the wind on my face...
this effects are caused by CBD (cannabidiol), a cannabinoid present in larger amounts in the indica varieties.

'mind high' is when your mind starts thinking millions things at the same time... meaningfull, deep, all encompassing insights of the nature of everything... im sure almost everything who smoked knows what i mean...
its caused by the THC, present in both varieties, but in greater amounts in the sativa varieties.

boiling the weed in the water will convert most CBD into THC, so if you have an indica stuff and wish enjoy a sativa-like high, try this. It works, i assure you :thumbsup:

And keep toking!!! :rasta: :stoned: :jointsmile: :rastasmoke:

I only had pure (or atleast almost pure) sativa once. That was an intense fucking high.

Indica doesn't really attract me unless I feel like staying home and watching tv/movie

yeathats right

[ukmonkey]

In my opinion.. the definitive guide.

INDICA: makes u wanna lie down on your bed, put some music on and float right out of your body. (More like k, I'm told)

+Its trippy as fuck
+You feel Really euphoric
+Great for insomniacs :-)
+Really good for relieving stress

-Your thoughts feel clouded, you feel stupid
-Makes u a borning antisocial cunt
-Makes you wanna sleep
-If your at a party or club or whatever can be embaressing needing to sit down.
-You feel like an idiot if there is Normal conversation, you just get lost and confused.

Sativa: Better for partys, socialsing dancing e.t.c (more like E)

+Your thoughts flow like water, you feel clever
+Everythings fuckin hilarious
+You get really talkative,
+Everythings has deep meaning
+All music sounds awsome, you wanna get up and rave and you'll find urself ranking every song on your ipod 5stars. (anyone else done this?)
+Sex is good!


-Not as powerful
-You chat shit :-P

MY advice, indica's great when you wanna chill after a tough week which is fucking great cos it's everywhere. Sativa on the other hand is harder to come by (UK atleast) so when you find a good bag, stock up and stash it untill ur next rave / party!!!!!!!

HOPE THAT HELPS MAN! :rastasmoke:

[fastforyou84]

I gotta be on some sativa dominant stuff right now cause whenever come down or feel tired I smoke more and I get all this energy back. I definately dont feel tired when im puffin on this stuff

[BioSci]

ukmonkey: I think you've got your information incorrect.

Indica:

+It has a narcotic feeling
+You feel sedated
+You feel sleepy/drowsy
+no anxiety or paranoia

+most useful for pain control in cancer and MS patients
+most helpful for insomniacs and epileptic patients

Sativa:

+You feel eurphoric
+The high is trippy, psychadelic
+high probablity for anxiety and panic (to those that are sensitive to it)
+some hallacinate on it, or feel dissociated (out of body)
+thoughts tend to race and so does the heart rate

+most useful for recreational use, but has a tendancy to help epileptic
patients that dont respond to indica strains.



Samwhore: I've never heard of anyone having out-of-body reactions from an
indica.

[fastforyou84]

im so high off this shit and yeah must be sativa dominent because when i smoke before bed sometimes its hard to fall asleep cause my heart is always racing. This one guy at work seems to get nothign but sativa strains. Always dank. Everyone else's is indica and i dont like it. this stuff i smoke when i start feeling tired and the other stuff the more i smoke the more tired i got. im blazed right now so if none of this makes any sense then my bad lol. Just eatin some choc ice cream with reese's freeze syrup and watch scarface

In general agree, but I have to say the only time I ever had a panic attack was an indica and my observations are entirely based upon my own persona; experience so may vary. but have you never had a pure indica and been so fukd you cudnt keep up with conversation that is what makes me paranoid
