• Indica – The cannabis from Indica plants tends to have higher levels of CBN which produce more of the body high effect. These effects aid patients with pain relief, insomnia, and anxiety.
• Sativa – Cannabis from Sativa plants usually have a higher level of THC than CBD which aid them in producing the noticeable head high. You should expect feelings of energy, excitement, giggles, focus and creativity when smoking a true sativa.
• Hybrid – One of the most popular cannabis strains on today’s market fall into this category. Hybrid refers to the cross between two or more distinct cannabis strains that produces a new cultivar that is a balance of the parents. Typically they will lean more to one side, whether Indica or Sativa, but there are some 50:50 hybrids as well. Hybrids are more likely to produce both body and head high qualities depending upon their genetic background.

1. Consuming cannabis in food offers a much different experience than other methods of consumption. Onset time can be very slow as your body metabolizes the food and the cannabinoids enter your bloodstream. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 120 minutes to start and anywhere from 2-6 hours to wear off.  Expect more of a noticeable body high as opposed to a head high.  This can be especially helpful for relieving pain, muscle spasms and to assist with sleeping issues.
2. Types of Edibles Found in Dispensaries
   • Flavored Gummies
