What does sativa and indica mean?
Peace and love
They are two different types of weed. Sativa gives you an uplifting, head-high. Indica gives you a mongy couchlock feeling. Most strains are a hybrid of the two. Sativa-indica strains have more sativa than indica, and Indica-sativa strains have more indica than sativa.
yes remember, types, not strains.... they're close but not that close ;) and I think that indica gives you more of a head high than anything, resulting in couchlock, sativa is more body high, here is a little excerpt from wikipedia

Cannabis was first classified by Carolus Linnaeus in 1753 as a genus comprising a single species, called Cannabis sativa, describing hemp, which was widely cultivated at the time. In 1785, famous French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck described C. indica, a type of Cannabis from India having morphological distinctiveness from the C. sativa previously described, and in particular not suitable for use as hemp because of poor fiber quality, but having greater potential as an inebriant. Numerous additional species were proposed in the 19th century, but by the beginning of the 20th century, the single-species concept was widely accepted.[5][11], except within the Soviet Union, where Cannabis continued to be the subject of active taxonomic study.
Sativa gives the cerebral "head" high, which is more up, and Indica gives a "Body" stone, which can make you sleepy. Hash is usually made from Indica strains.
:stoned: It's all good because like fine wine, you can determine what you choose to enjoy...I agree that a lot of the bud I use is hybrid...usually heavier on the indica side though.
:cool: Indica is great for pain, stress & tension...however, it may take more effort to do coordinated stuff.
Sativa is the head high, no question there, this stuff tends to give a more energetic creative type of effect, I find it easier to be social on this strain.:greenthumb:
I often combine strains to suit my mood...:stoned:
