MARIJUANA 101: HYBRID CANNABIS CANADA

An Introduction to Hybrid Weed

Hybrid cannabis is the byproduct of crossing together two different weed strains that have sativa and indica genetics. The result is often a nice blend of both the uplifting properties of the sativa genes and the euphoric couchlocking sensations of the indica genes. True hybrid weed can be classified as having around a 50/50 or 60/40 split, however even cannabis strains with 90% indica genetics and 10% sativa genes are technically a hybrid strain.  However, most people would classify that as an indica or at least refer to it as a heavily indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain.

Effects of Hybrid Weed: 

• Benefits of Hybrid Weed: Do you love the uplighting and mood boosting effects of sativa weed? And do you love the relaxing and euphoric couch locking feelings? If yes, then hybrid weed is for you! Oftentimes when you smoke hybrid strains, you get a nice cerebral heady high that will keep you alert and sociable. Then as time passes, the body high sets in from the indica side of the weed, inducing sensations of relaxation and that narcotic like feeling. 
• Medical Uses of Hybrid Weed: Medical marijuana consumers like hybrid strains because they provide the most balanced benefits and cover the widest of conditions. This includes for stress, anxiety, depression, pain, eating disorders, muscle spasms, arthritis, ADD and ADHD, PTSD, and inflammation. 
• Negative Effects of Hybrid Weed: If you are going to smoke cannabis, you are likely to experience cottonmouth and dry red eyes.  Good news is that these effects are nothing to worry about and oftentimes don’t even bother the person. In rare cases, people have experienced nausea, dizziness and headaches. And with hybrid strains with heavy indica properties and high levels of THC, some people have reported paranoia and anxiety.  But not to fear! These effects go away very quickly, so if you are experiencing any negative feelings, just relax and know everything will be alright!

Best Ways to Take Hybrid Weed

This is up for debate, but smoking hybrid weed in a joint is likely the most common.  Other methods include using a water bong or weed pipe to smoke the marijuana. Or if you own a dry herb vaporizer, you can vape the weed.  You can even extract the THC from the buds themselves and infused it into cannabis edibles for consumption. 

Alternatives to Hybrid Weed

If you are looking for cannabis flower alternatives, then you can go for straight sativa strains for daytime use and indica strains for the night.  

If you are looking for other options than buds then cannabis concentrates is a popular option for more experienced marijuana users.  This is because weed concentrates like shatter, live resin, budder, cannabis oils, and hash are all concentrated forms of cannabinoids and are therefore much more potent than regular marijuana. 

Weed edibles are another option. This is especially good for people who don’t wish to smoke cannabis.  With edibles you want to be careful since the effects can be unpredictable at times. Just take low doses as you need and you should be fine.
