Hybrids

Best Place to Buy Hybrid Cannabis in Canada

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 hybrids can be classified as having around a 50/50 or 60/40 split, however even marijuana strains with 90% indica genetics and 10% sativa genes are technically a hybrid strain. Most people would classify that as an indica or at least refer to it as a heavily indica-dominant hybrid marijuana strain.

Effects of Hybrid Cannabis

Do you love the uplifting and mood boosting effects of sativa? Do you also love the relaxing, euphoric couch locking feelings of indica? If yes, then hybrid strains are for you.

The reason why hybrids are so popular is that they provide the unique characteristics of both sativa and indica flowers. We’re glad these strains exist; when smoking sativa, the body high is sorely missed by many users and while smoking indica, the couchlock sensation sometimes becomes too much to handle.

The right mix of body and cerebral high is considered as the “perfect blend” by many users. Based on what type of weed you like more, you can buy indica-dominant or sativa-dominant hybrids.

Usually when you smoke this kind of pot, 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, inducing sensations of relaxation and that narcotic-like feeling. 

Medical Uses

Medical marijuana consumers like hybrids because they provide the most balanced benefits and cover a long list of conditions. This includes stress, anxiety, depression, physical pain, eating disorders, muscle spasms, arthritis, ADD and ADHD, PTSD, and inflammation.

Negative Effects

Experiencing cottonmouth and red eyes are the most common and harmless side effects of smoking marijuana. However, if you consume it in excessively large amounts, it may induce  nausea, dizziness and headaches.

With sativa dominant cannabis that has high levels of THC, some users have reported paranoia and anxiety. However, these effects usually wear off quickly, so if you are experiencing any negative feelings or a “bad trip”, just relax and know everything will be alright in a few hours.

Different Types of Hybrid Weed

Growing hybrid marijuana is an art; it requires tremendous knowledge, research along with some trial and error. Because these strains are so customizable, we see different types like: indica dominant, sativa dominant and true hybrids.

Indica Dominant Hybrids 

These strains contain over 70% indica and have minimal hints of sativa. This is a combination that’s perfect for users who prefer a balanced CBD to THC ratio. The effects are only slightly cerebral, and the body high is more noticeable.

If this is something you’re looking for, we recommend trying the following strains:

• Girl Scout Cookies
• Gorilla Glue
• Animal Cookies
• Blue Moon Rocks
• Gas Chamber

Sativa Dominant Hybrids

Sativa dominant hybrids contain low levels of indica genetics and offer a very active head high that is complemented with a slight body buzz. If you enjoy feeling dazed and lightly couchlocked, we recommend checking these out.

• Blueberry Cheesecake
• Bruce Banner
• Gorilla Glue #4

True Hybrid Strains

True hybrids are known to have a very well balanced indica to sativa ratio. It could be 50:50, 45:55 or even 40:60. If you want to experience the perfect balance between body and head high, we highly recommend trying these:

• Alien OG
• God’s Green Crack

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 a pipe. If you own a dry herb vaporizer, you can vaporize the grass instead.

If you don’t like smoking you can even extract the THC from the buds themselves and infuse it into edibles, making the THC suitable for oral consumption. We recommend making yourself some cannabutter and storing it.

You can do a lot with cannabutter; bake brownies, melt some chocolate into the butter and sandwich it between two crackers, pretty much anything. Don’t forget to label the jar though.

Alternatives to Hybrid Cannabis

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 concentrates are 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. 

Edibles are another option. This is especially good for people who don’t wish to smoke marijuana. 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.
